Balanced flue fires for homes without chimneys/flues (outside wall only)
Where no chimney or flue is available, the fire vents directly outside through a horizontal twin wall pipe.
In normal speak, it has a twin tube that goes outside. It draws air through one part and pushes the fumes out of the other.

A balanced flue on a gas boiler works on the fact that hot air rises and is replaced by cold air. A balanced flue is two chambers. One lets out the hot by products of combustion, and the other chamber draws in cold air. Simple but effective. They balance each other out. Hence the name.

there is 2 types of flues, atmospheric, forced. atmospheric is a damper in the stack that will open & close as the pressure changes around boiler. forced is fan driving which mixes air & gas, this needs to be checked with a gas analyzer in the stack. gas co. or boiler co. can do this.

the flue is in two sections, an inner and outer, outer part allows air into combustion chamber for boiler to burn, inner part comes from fan or top of combustion chamber to get rid of combustion products.

The idea is to stop wind or draughts blowing out the pilot or flame, which is dangerous. The flue you mention balances the in and out air, so if a wind tries to blow in the pressure changes to out to stop it. HTH LOL
