Napoleon Ducted Heat Management
Ducted Heat Management (DHM) is a system for managing the heat produced by the appliance at and around the fireplace. The purpose of DHM is to move the heat away from the fireplace to allow it to circulate more effectively with the living space.
Benefits:
- Heat is circulated more consistently throughout the living space increasing comfort in front of the fireplace.*
- Increasing "real world" efficiency as heat is moved into the room rather than retained inside the enclosure.
- Complete flexibility in selection of finishing materials
- Ability to place a TV, sound bar or artwork above the fireplace**
Installation Options
1. FRONT DISCHARGE
Heat is moved up and out a single air outlet located at the top of the enclosure (above the TV or artwork). You can purchase a vent grill or sleeve to provide a clean finished look for the air outlet opening.
2. SIDE DISCHARGE
Heat is moved up and out the sides of the enclosure (above the TV or artwork). You can purchase vent grills (2) or sleeves (2) to provide a clean finished look for the air outlet openings.
*In most common installation configurations, some specific installations require special provisions. See minimum clearance to combustible enclosures section for details. Ensure to strictly adhere to
instructions.
**Always check appliance manufacturers recommendations to confirm suitability and any special environmental limitations. For valuable or antique items, always refer to expert preservation instructions as some items require specifically controlled temperature and/or humidity.
