DRU Verwarming B.V. will introduce at the Batibouw 2011 fair in Brussels a new and revolutionary flue system that has eliminated virtually all limitations in installing a gas stove. The PowerVent® system of DRU even makes it simple to install a gas stove in an apartment or terraced house, and importantly it offers architects an ideal solution for creating exceptional configurations.
At last year's Batibouw DRU introduced the innovative and space-saving SMART® flue channel. This year the company is going a step further. With the new PowerVent® flue system, you can overcome the limitations of existing flue channels by bridging large distances, getting around numerous bends and even removing your flue gases via a crawl space or basement! This gives you the freedom to install a stove wherever you like!
The secret lies in the Powerbox that is connected to the flue on the outside of the home or just below the roof. A control unit measures the pressure difference in the flue and compares it with the pre-entered recommended pressure difference for assuring optimum burning of the stove. The control unit is connected to the Powerbox and if necessary activates a ventilator to continue the flow in the flue. This is controlled completely automatically!
In effect the system ensures that there is always sufficient draught in the flue channel. Consequently, there are now hardly any limitations for removing flue gases. DRU is thus introducing a revolutionary system that greatly increases the possibilities for installing gas stoves. You can even install your stove in a completely freestanding position in the middle of your living room!
The PowerVent® system is not tied to your choice of stove. The PowerVent® system is currently usable with an initial selection of nostalgic DRU gas stoves. In the future the system will be usable on all nostalgic gas stoves. For the latest list of suitable stoves click here.
