Our life is rapidly moving forward. Scientific and technological progress regularly puts at our disposal new technologies, methods and materials. This also applies to construction, where more and more technologies are emerging that are environmentally friendly, economical and easy to use.
The coaxial chimney has become such a recent development in the field of construction. Translated from Latin, this means coaxial. It is a pipe-in-pipe (two-circuit) system. Oxygen necessary for the combustion process is supplied to the boiler through the outer pipe. Combustion products exit through the inner tube. Such a chimney is made of high quality heat-resistant stainless steel.
This type of chimney was designed as an alternative to the usual one, which takes up a lot of space, requires a lot of nuances to create good draft and is mainly adapted for stoves and solid fuel boilers. Coaxial chimneys can be used both for conventional stoves and boilers, and for oil-fired boilers and floor and wall gas boilers.
There is onefeature: for the system to work, the boiler must be equipped with a draft fan. If a turbo boiler is available, a coaxial chimney is ideal for it.
The need to use this type of chimney was caused by mass gasification and provision of apartment heating. The advantages of using such chimneys are obvious. It is easy to install, it does not need to be taken out of the roof visor to provide traction, but can simply be taken out through the wall. The efficiency of work is much higher than that of conventional chimneys, due to the fact that the intake air is heated already in the chimney itself. There is no need to clean the chimney frequently, which increases its usability and comfort level. Suitable for any kind of fuel. Can be displayed both vertically and horizontally. Eliminates the possibility of smoke in the room.
To choose the right coaxial chimney, be sure to check the tightness of the welds, and also ask the seller about the availability of a quality certificate.
How is a coaxial chimney installed? Installation does not require special training and labor-intensive operations. A hole is punched in the load-bearing wall of the house and chimney pipes are inserted into it. During installation, it is necessary to make sure that all connections are tight, especially the connection of the outer chimney pipe and the boiler nozzle, so that there is no suction of air from the room, the air flow comes only from the street and warms up during movement. The connection of the chimney parts is done using a socketsystems. For reliability, a heat-resistant rubber gasket is inserted. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the structure is not located near the windows of a residential building, this is not at all correct, since the air will enter directly into the living quarters.
By applying new technologies, we bring comfort into our lives and can protect ourselves from many problems. A coaxial chimney will increase the efficiency of any heating system.
