• Air that enters the room from outside
• External combustion air that is led directly into the stove’s combustion chamber
We offer a couple of options that let you introduce air from the outside directly to the appliance to replace the air necessary for the combustion (rather than opening a window and risking cold and draughts) - (1) a connection piece for fresh air intake mounted at the rear of the stove or (2) a box fitted underneath the combustion chamber. Most Scan models can be equipped with this type of fresh air supply, even as a retrofit device.
In well insulated houses it is a good idea to let air directly into the combustion chamber from outside (external combustion air). This is especially important in houses with mechanical ventilation or a cooker hood situated near the installation site. It is possible to feed external combustion air to most Scan stoves by mounting an intake duct to the back of the stove or putting it in the base.
Individual models prepared and manufactured for external combustion air must be ordered from the factory, whilst external combustion air with a rear outlet can be retrofitted to the vast majority of Scan wood-burning stoves.
