Q.
What are my venting options with the Ceraflame?
A.
The Ceraflame can be vented as a category I appliance into a
common vent. It can also be vented into a dedicated vent as
a category III appliance, horizontally through awall or vertically
through the roof. The Ceraflame is also suitable for outdoor
installation.
Q. What venting materials can I use
with the Ceraflame?
A.
When vented as a category I, you may use 'B' vent or 'C' vent
with the Ceraflame. If venting into a stack taller than 30 ft.,
a barometric damper is recommended.
When vented through the wall, the Ceraflame must employ a corrosion
resistant vent material. A 300 series stainless steel single
wall vent is usually adequate. All seams must be sealed. After
inspection and approval by the local authority, it is advisable
to insulate the vent to minimize chances of condensation if
the vent runs through a cold space. The local inspector will
have the final say in these matters.
Q. How far can I vent the Ceraflame?
A.
The Ceraflame can be vented up to 60 feet on the discharge and
up to 60 feet on the air intake.
A long radius 90 degree elbow is equivalent to 6 feet of straight
vent pipe.
A tight radius 90 degree elbow is equivalent to 12 feet of straight
vent pipe.
Q.
Where do I find the proper flue discharge and air intake hoods
for the Ceraflame?
A.
Vent terminals for the Ceraflame are available from Camus.
Q. What is the proper sized pump for
the Ceraflame?
A.
For heating applications or for normal domestic water, choose
a pump which results in a temperature rise of 35° F or less.
Always pump to the boiler.
For domestic water applications other than normal hardness,
contact the factory for recommendations.
Q. What is the required power supply for
the Ceraflame?
A.
The Ceraflame requires a 115V, 15 amp. Circuit.
Q.
What are my venting options with the Dynaflame?
A.
The Dynaflame can be vented as a category I appliance into a
common vent. It can also be vented into a dedicated vent as
a category III appliance, horizontally through awall or vertically
through the roof. The Dynaflame is also suitable for outdoor
installation.
In condensing mode, the Dynaflame can be vented as a category
II or category IV
Q.
What venting materials can I use with the
Dynaflame?
A. When vented
as a category I, you may use 'B' vent or 'C' vent with the Dynaflame.
If venting into a stack taller than 30 ft., a barometric damper
is recommended.
When vented through the wall, the Dynaflame must employ a corrosion
resistant vent material. A 300 series stainless steel single
wall vent is usually adequate. All seams must be sealed. After
inspection and approval by the local authority, it is advisable
to insulate the vent to minimize chances of condensation if
the vent runs through a cold space. The local inspector will
have the final say in these matters.
When vented as a category II or IV appliance, the Dynaflame
requires a special venting system constructed of AL29-4C. Some
jurisdictions will allow 316 stainless. Always check with your
local inspector. If using 316 stainless, it is better to avoid
welding.
Provisions for condensate disposal and treatment will be necessary.
Camus can provide a condensate neutralising cartidge.
Q. How far can I vent the Dynaflame?
A. The Dynaflame can be
vented up to 100 feet on the discharge and up to 60 feet on
the air intake.
A long radius 90 degree elbow, 8" diameter is equivalent
to 8 feet of straight vent pipe.
A tight radius 90 degree elbow, 8" diameter is equivalent
to 15 feet of straight vent pipe.
A long radius 90 degree elbow, 12" diameter is equivalent
to 14 feet of straight vent pipe.
A tight radius 90 degree elbow, 12" diameter is equivalent
to 25 feet of straight vent pipe.
Q. Where do I find the proper flue
discharge and air intake hoods for the Dynaflame?
A.
Vent terminals for the Dynaflame are available from Camus.
Q. What is the proper sized pump for the Dynaflame?
A.

a pump which results in a temperature rise of 35° F or less.
Always pump to the boiler.
For domestic water applications other than normal hardness,
contact the factory for recommendations.
Q. What is the required power supply for
the Dynaflame?
A.
The Dynaflame requires a 115V, 60 hz. Circuit.
Amp draws at full input are as follows;
Models AMP
draw
500 thru 1100 7
1500 thru 2000 11
2500 thru 3000 14
Amp draws decrease as burner modulates down.
Q. What is the modulating range for
the Dynaflame?
A. The Dynaflame is fully
modulating from 35% up to 100% of input.
Q. What is the efficiency of the Dynaflame?
A. The main exchanger of
the Dynaflame must always see inlet water temperatures of 110°
F or higher. The main exchanger never condenses and provides
an efficiency of 85%.
To allow for condensation without affecting the primary heat
exchanger, the Dynaflame has a secondary heat exchanger option
which is installed within the main cabinet.
With the secondary heat exchanger option, the Dynaflame can
provide efficiencies of up to 95% across the full range of inputs
from 35% up to 100%. The colder the water to the secondary,
the higher the efficiency.
Q. Can I have a Dynaflame as a heating
boiler condensing?
A. As long as the secondary
exchanger is supplied with cold water, the Dynaflame will provide
condensing efficiency levels.
For example, a heating boiler maintaining a 160° F return
temperature could preheat domestic water entering the secondary
heat exchanger at 40° F and in so doing provide condensing
efficiency levels.
