The article talks about existing systems smoke circulation in furnaces and fireplaces; about the advantages and disadvantages of building materials from which chimneys are made, and about the latest developments.

Many have dachas or country houses who need heating. To anyone heating device it is necessary to connect a chimney that will remove combustion products from the room. We will figure out which modern chimney systems are most advantageous to install in private homes.

Chimney systems are of several types:

Variety of chimneys

Modern chimney systems are classified not only in the direction of movement of gases, but also depending on the materials used for their construction.

Steel chimneys

Modular chimney systems are usually made from steel grades that can withstand acidic environments and rust (see). Previously, chimneys were made of brick, but life dictates other operating conditions. Heating devices have become more powerful, a brick pipe can not cope with the flow of hot gases. Brick has been replaced by steel chimneys.

Advantages modular system - ease of installation. Everything has already been made at the factory. necessary details chimney. In fact, it remains to correctly assemble them, approximately like a children's designer.

If desired, manufacturers can make chimney elements to order, specifically for your needs. individual sizes. Of course, modular chimneys are easy to assemble and durable. Such pipes meet all the requirements that building codes impose on chimneys.

Modular systems are universal, suitable for any heating device. The service life of such chimneys is more than 10 years.

Attention, if you still want your chimney to be brick, then you can steel pipe put in a brick mine. Visually, it will seem that the chimney is made of brick.

Depending on the structure of the pipe modern chimneys made of steel are divided into single and double-circuit.

Single-circuit or single-wall systems are the simplest. In fact, these are just pipes and connecting elements made of of stainless steel. The advantage of the option is the relative cheapness. Such systems are used if the smoke channel is laid indoors. In addition, single-circuit chimneys are used when lining a brick pipe.

Double-circuit or double-wall systems are assembled from heat-insulated elements. Each element consists of two metal circuits and a heat-insulating non-combustible material, most often, basalt wool. The inner contour is made of acid-resistant steel, the outer one can be made of both stainless steel and galvanized steel. Some manufacturers coat the outer layer with enamel to increase corrosion resistance and improve appearance. These systems are suitable for laying in unheated premises and on the street.

Ceramic chimneys

A chimney system made of a ceramic pipe impresses with its service life of 30 years or more (see). How can this longevity be explained? The characteristics of the building material of ceramics indicate that it is completely unaffected by an acidic aggressive environment and is sufficiently resistant to corrosion. As you know, this is the environment created by the "spent" fuel in the pipe. But their cost is quite high.

Ceramic chimneys are made in the following variations:

• The ceramic pipe is insulated, and the outer contour is made of foam blocks.
• The ceramic pipe is insulated with an outer contour made of steel.
• Ceramic pipe with diameter from 120 mm before 250 mm can be installed in a brick shaft or replace a faulty existing chimney.

Ceramic chimneys are also universal and will fit any heating unit.

Comparison of ceramic and steel chimneys

In order to determine the choice of chimney material (this is very important), use the table below.

There is another significant difference between these chimneys, which is their cost. steel chimney more cost-effective to purchase and install than ceramic. In any case, the choice is yours.

Innovative glass chimney

The glass chimney system is made of special refractory glass. This building material over and over and high temperatures, and corrosion, and aggressive acid environment.

Perfect smooth surface does not interfere with the passage of "spent" fuel. On such a surface, soot simply has nowhere to be deposited. This speaks to the ease of care of the glass chimney. Refractory glass has the following characteristics:

• high strength;
• resistance to temperature changes;
• when destroyed, the fragments will have no sharp edges, only blunt ones that will not allow you to cut yourself.

Glass chimneys are the future. Unfortunately, at the moment they are too difficult to mount, which leads to their rise in price. Yes, and the refractory glass itself is not cheap materials. Therefore, refractory glass chimneys are the most expensive systems these days.

When choosing a chimney, pay special attention to the material from which it is made. The quality, operation and service life of the chimney and the heating system as a whole depend on this.

Chimneys ICOPAL WULKAN have been produced for over 30 years. Thanks to the properties of the ceramic pipe, which allow it to withstand temperatures from 60 to 600 C *, ICOPAL WULKAN chimney systems operate with boilers and fireplaces on any type of fuel (wood, coal, gas, fuel oil, etc.). This makes it possible to combine types of boilers in the time of operation of the house, for example, from coal-fired to gas.

Chimney systems, for all their invisibility in the house, they perform extremely important, necessary functions– creation in a fireplace or stove heating system natural draft, due to which combustion products harmful to human health are effectively removed from the combustion chamber into the atmosphere, as well as the supply by the chimney system supply air.

The “correct” chimney is the key to your and your loved ones peace of mind, health, and sometimes life. In this regard, in no case should you save on chimney systems, their choice should be taken as carefully and seriously as possible. As best as possible, you need to study not only specifications chimney that you are going to purchase, but the possibility of light and quick installation the entire structure and its additional parts, pipelines, etc., in order to chimney system was most compatible with various heating appliances- stoves, fireplaces, boilers and water heaters. StatClimat specialists will help you choose the best suitable option will provide detailed advice on this matter.

Chimney systems are used when using any type of fuel for heating - and if you heat with wood, and coal, and gas, and even fuel oil. Design chimney systems must answer all necessary requirements security and meet the needs of the client as much as possible. Chimneys must be extremely resistant to moisture, acids, possible sudden changes in temperature and other harmful effects. All of these factors must also be considered when determining the type of chimney system assembly.

The slightest miscalculation of the design of the chimney or an error, even if insignificant at first glance, during its installation, threatens to be very serious. negative consequences in future. In this case, there is a high risk of fire or filling the room with poisonous to humans. carbon monoxide. The installation of the chimney should be carried out by specialists who will subsequently be responsible for its further condition, knowing all the standards and requirements using quality materials. The chimney systems offered by our company will provide optimal mode gas outlet and can be used not only for domestic, but even industrial premises.

In construction chimney systems, which will have to withstand heavy loads, must be observed highest demands safety, quality and functionality. Our specialists know all this and are able to apply their knowledge in practice.

Chimney systems divided into 3 types:

1) Wall - chimneys located in the walls of the building. Usually constructed of brick or concrete with an internal lining of asbestos-cement or metal pipes.

2) Indigenous - are placed inside or outside the building and are located on their own foundation. Interior cladding available.

3) Mounted - made of asbestos-cement or metal pipes, which are based on a heat generating apparatus (for example, a stove) or on ceiling above the device.

Chimney systems constructed from various materials: brick, steel, fireclay and others. Of course, each of the listed materials has its own special properties, its advantages and disadvantages. In this regard, it is necessary to choose the material based on the characteristics of the building, the system to which the chimney will be connected, climatic conditions etc. The most famous are brick chimneys. But, unfortunately, such chimneys, despite their traditional character, do not meet modern, more stringent standards and requirements that apply to heating structures and their components. In addition, the construction of such a chimney is characterized by considerable labor intensity and requires high accuracy in execution. Therefore, bricks on the market have been significantly replaced by such materials as chamotte and steel, which have excellent performance and physical properties. It is best to entrust the choice of material to professionals, as they will be able to take into account all the subtleties and as a result you will get high-quality, durable and safe chimney system.

In order for the chimney to serve safely, for a long time, efficiently and without problems, it must have the following properties:

1. Good aerodynamic performance. That will allow you to organize the correct movement of the air flow containing smoke and carbon monoxide.

2. Round section, since in this case the removal of smoke upwards is the most effective.

3. Smooth inner surface, which will reduce the amount of soot deposited on the walls of the chimney and extend the time between cleanings.

4. Great resistance to condensate, aggressive media, corrosion.

5. High fire safety.

We implement chimney systems, which will work for a long time, safely and will bring you a minimum of inconvenience and a maximum of warmth and comfort. Our specialists will complete assembly systems using innovative modern technologies, in compliance with all necessary technological requirements quality and reliability.

Remember - from how the installation is done chimney systems depends not only on the quality of work heating installation but also the safety and even the life of you and your loved ones!

Autonomous heating with gas boilers in high-rise buildings is becoming more and more popular. It is convenient, safe and economical way provide all residents of the house with comfortable warmth at any time of the year. Schiedel has developed the QUADRO system specifically for gas-fired boilers in apartment buildings. residential buildings and individual houses.

Why Quadro?

This is a compact, space-saving chimney structure, to which up to 10 boilers located on different floors of the building can be connected. The system is easily and quickly mounted, has a long service life and does not cause any trouble to either the developer or the residents of the house. An important advantage of the QUADRO system is that it allows you to supply combustion air to the boiler furnace from the street, through an integrated ventilation duct. This eliminates the combustion of oxygen in the room, even when tightly closed windows and doors.

Advantages of the QUADRO system:

• High resistance to moisture and acids. Moisture and condensate do not damage the ceramic pipe and cannot penetrate through its walls. A condensate collection and removal tank installed at the base of the system is connected to the building's sewerage system, which allows timely removal of excess atmospheric or condensed from flue gases moisture.
• Impeccable tightness. All elements of ceramic pipes are connected with a special ultra-durable sealant, which, like ceramics, is resistant to moisture, acids and high temperatures.
• Unique modern design. To connect the boiler to the chimney, only one coaxial pipe is used (instead of two pipes with separate air supply and flue gas outlet shafts).
• Compactness. Chimney Schiedel system QUADRO occupies a small area, unlike brick mines. Moreover, it does not spoil architectural view buildings, becoming an organic element of building structures.
• Comfort. Smoke is discharged above the roof ridge and dissipated in the atmosphere without entering the living quarters.
• Aesthetic design. Schiedel offers prefabricated solutions for the design of the upper part of the roof system.
• Ease of installation. The system is fully equipped with all the necessary elements of factory readiness from a single manufacturer, which makes installation as easy as assembly children's constructor.
