| The NØVENT fireplace was tested by the SABS to determine
if the sample complies with the requirements of SABS
1539:2003 “ Appliances operating on liquefied
petroleum gas – Safety aspects”. Report
number: 7222/2354427/WG002 |
|
The maximum permissible concentrations of
contaminants in air which is intended for breathing are stipulated
as follows by SABS019: CO:10 parts per million and CO2: 500
parts per million. This gives a ratio of CO: CO2 of 0.02 in
SANS 1539:2003 (Edition 3)
The tests conducted on the NØVENT Flueless
gas heater in accordance with SANS 1539:2003 ( Edition 3 )
resulted in levels of CO: CO2 ratio of 0,005 and is substantially
lower than the required maximum levels indicated.
The point of measurement of the CO:CO2 gas
concentrations, which is directly above the gas burners, represents
the air volume that carries the highest concentration of these
gases. As the gases that are the products of combustion leave
the fire box they are substantially diluted by the air in the
room. Thus the air in the room carries CO and CO@ concentrations
that are even more diluted that that measured directly over
the burners.

| The NØVENT flueless gas fireplace is also equipped
with an Oxygen Depletion System(ODS) – that automatically
shuts off the gas supply should the oxygen levels in
the room become too low. |
