Chimney Flue Temperature

Recommended for sealing the firebox assembly and venting of direct vent balanced flue.

Chimney flue temperature.

The draft in the chimney can be calculated with 3 as. A flue gas stack also known as a smoke stack chimney stack or simply as a stack is a type of chimney a vertical pipe channel or similar structure through which combustion product gases called flue gases are exhausted to the outside air. The outside ambient air temperature is around say 30 c. Consider this as two air columns connect at the bottom.

The typical cause of a chimney fire is the combustion of creosote inside the chimney. These pipes only need a 2 inch clearance to combustibles because they remain cool on the outside while their internal design allows them to withstand temperatures as high as 1 700 or 2 100 degrees fahrenheit for a limited time. Under chimney fire conditions damage to these systems still may occur. Maximum temperature range for use.

For gas wood fireplaces pellet and corn stoves. The outside temperature is 0 c 273 k. Designed for normal continuous operation at 1000 f flue gas temperatures duraplus is subjected to rigorous and stringent ht requirements of the ul standard including 1 hour at 1400 f plus three 10 minute chimney fire tests at 2100 f. Try to keep the surfaceflue temps between 250 and 400during the peak of the burn cycle.

More product details close. There are many ways to combat or prevent this and one of them is to keep the flue warmer than 250 degrees. The high density and heavier cold air will be always pushing the low density and lighter hot gases up. The gas temperature inside the flue gas stack is around 140 c.

Most tests require the chimney to withstand flue temperatures up to 2100 f without sustaining damage. What is the chimney or stock effect. Dp ch 20 m 1 292 kg m 3 1 273 k 473 k 9 81 m s 2 107 pa. Double wall chimney pipes are designed to protect buildings from high temperatures generated by some heating appliances.

H height of chimney m. Product cures with heat from the appliance. The density of the outside air is 1 292 kg m 3. A 20 m high chimney operates with flue gas temperature 200 c 473 k.

The surface readings will be about 30 50 cooler than the actual flue gas temps. Flue gases are produced when coal oil natural gas wood or any other fuel is combusted in an industrial furnace a power plant s steam generating boiler.
