Heat capacity of products of complete combustion in a stoichiometric volume of air. Chimney, calculation Flue gas density as a function of temperature
Humid air is a mixture of dry air and water vapor. In unsaturated air, moisture is in the state of superheated vapor, and therefore the properties of moist air can be approximately described by the laws of ideal gases.
The main characteristics of humid air are:
1. Absolute humidity g, which determines the amount of water vapor contained in 1 m 3 of moist air. Water vapor occupies the entire volume of the mixture, so the absolute humidity of the air is equal to the mass of 1 m 3 of water vapor or vapor density, kg / m 3
2. Relative humidity j is expressed by the ratio of the absolute humidity of the air to its maximum possible humidity at the same pressure and temperature, or by the ratio of the mass of water vapor contained in 1 m 3 of moist air to the mass of water vapor required to completely saturate 1 m 3 of moist air at the same pressure and temperature.
Relative humidity determines the degree of saturation of air with moisture:
, (1.2)
where is the partial pressure of water vapor corresponding to its density Pa; - pressure of saturated steam at the same temperature, Pa; - the maximum possible amount of steam in 1 m 3 of saturated moist air, kg / m 3; - vapor density at its partial pressure and temperature of moist air, kg/m 3 .
Relation (1.2) is valid only when it can be assumed that the liquid vapor is an ideal gas up to the saturation state.
The density of moist air r is the sum of the densities of water vapor and dry air at partial pressures of 1 m 3 of moist air at a temperature of humid air T, TO:
(1.3)
where is the density of dry air at its partial pressure of 1 m 3 of moist air, kg / m 3; - partial pressure of dry air, Pa; - gas constant of dry air, J/(kg×K).
Expressing and by the equation of state for air and water vapor, we obtain
, (1.5)
where is the mass flow rate of air and water vapor, kg/s.
These equalities are valid for the same volume V humid air at the same temperature. Dividing the second equality by the first, we get another expression for the moisture content
. (1.6)
Substituting here the values of gas constants for air J/(kg×K) and for water vapor J/(kg×K), we obtain the value of moisture content expressed in kilograms of water vapor per 1 kg of dry air
. (1.7)
Replacing the partial air pressure with the value , where from the previous and AT is the barometric air pressure in the same units as R, we get for moist air under barometric pressure
. (1.8)
Thus, at a given barometric pressure, the moisture content of air depends only on the partial pressure of water vapor. The maximum possible moisture content in the air, from where
. (1.9)
Since the saturation pressure increases with temperature, the maximum possible amount of moisture that can be contained in the air depends on its temperature, and the more, the higher the temperature. If equations (1.7) and (1.8) are solved for and , then we obtain
(1.10)
. (1.11)
The volume of moist air in cubic meters per 1 kg of dry air is calculated by the formula
(1.12)
Specific volume of humid air v, m 3 / kg, is determined by dividing the volume of moist air by the mass of the mixture per 1 kg of dry air:
Humid air as a heat carrier is characterized by an enthalpy (in kilojoules per 1 kg of dry air) equal to the sum of the enthalpies of dry air and water vapor
(1.14)
where is the specific heat capacity of dry air, kJ/(kg×K); t– air temperature, °С; i- enthalpy of superheated steam, kJ/kg.
Enthalpy of 1 kg dry saturated steam at low pressures determined by the empirical formula, kJ/kg:
where is a constant coefficient approximately equal to the enthalpy of steam at a temperature of 0 °C; = 1.97 kJ/(kg×K) – specific heat capacity of steam.
Substituting the values i into expression (1.14) and taking the specific heat capacity of dry air constant and equal to 1.0036 kJ / (kg × K), we find the enthalpy of moist air in kilojoules per 1 kg of dry air:
Equations similar to those discussed above are used to determine the wet gas parameters.

where is the gas constant for the test gas; R- gas pressure.

Wet gas density, kg/m3.
When fuel carbon is burned in air according to the equation (21C + 2102 + 79N2 = 21C02 + 79N2), for each volume of CO2 in the combustion products there are 79: 21 = 3.76 volumes of N2.
Combustion of anthracite, lean coal and other fuels with a high carbon content produces combustion products that are similar in composition to carbon combustion products. When hydrogen is burned according to the equation
42H2+2102+79N2=42H20+79N2
For each volume of H20, there are 79:42 = 1.88 volumes of nitrogen.
In the combustion products of natural, liquefied and coke oven gases, liquid fuels, firewood, peat, brown coal, long-flame and gas coal and other fuels with a significant hydrogen content in the combustible mass, a large number of water vapor, sometimes exceeding the volume of CO2. The presence of moisture in the top

Live, naturally, increases the content of water vapor in the combustion products.
The composition of the products of complete combustion of the main types of fuel in a stoichiometric volume of air is given in Table. 34. From the data in this table, it can be seen that the N2 content in the combustion products of all fuels significantly exceeds the total content of C02-f-H20, and in the carbon combustion products it is 79%.
Hydrogen combustion products contain 65% N2; combustion products of natural and liquefied gases, gasoline, fuel oil and other hydrocarbon fuels contain 70-74% N2.
Rice. 5. Volumetric heat capacity
Combustion products

5 - hydrogen combustion products
The average heat capacity of the products of complete combustion that do not contain oxygen can be calculated by the formula
C \u003d 0.01 (Cc02C02 + Cso2S02 + Cn20H20 + CN2N2) kcal / (m3 - ° С), (VI. 1)
Where Сс0г, Cso2, СНа0, CNa are the volumetric heat capacities of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, water vapor and nitrogen, and С02, S02, Н20 and N2 are the content of the corresponding components in the combustion products, % (vol.).
In accordance with this formula (VI. 1) takes the following form:
C \u003d 0.01. (Cc02 /? 02 + CHj0H20-bCNi! N2) kcal / (m3 "°C). (VI.2)
The average volumetric heat capacity of CO2, H20 and N2 in the temperature range from 0 to 2500 °C is given in Table. 36. Curves characterizing the change in the average volumetric heat capacity of these gases with increasing temperature are shown in fig. 5.
From the table. 16 data and curves depicted in fig. 5 shows the following:
1. The volumetric heat capacity of CO2 significantly exceeds the heat capacity of H20, which, in turn, exceeds the heat capacity of N2 over the entire temperature range from 0 to 2000 °C.
2. The heat capacity of CO2 increases with increasing temperature faster than the heat capacity of H20, and the heat capacity of H20 faster than the heat capacity of N2. However, despite this, the weighted average volumetric heat capacities of the combustion products of carbon and hydrogen in stoichiometric volume air differ little.
This situation, somewhat unexpected at first glance, is due to the fact that in the products of complete combustion of carbon in air, for each cubic meter of CO2, which has the highest volumetric heat capacity, there are 3.76 m3 of N2 with a minimum volumetric
|
Average volumetric heat capacities of carbon and hydrogen combustion products in the theoretically required amount of air, kcal/(m3-°C)
|
Heat capacity, and in the products of hydrogen combustion for every cubic meter of water vapor, the volumetric heat capacity of which is less than that of CO2, but more than that of N2, there is half the amount of nitrogen (1.88 m3).
As a result, the average volumetric heat capacities of the combustion products of carbon and hydrogen in air are equalized, as can be seen from the data in Table. 37 and comparison of curves 4 and 5 in Figs. 5. The difference in the weighted average heat capacities of the combustion products of carbon and hydrogen in air does not exceed 2%. Naturally, the heat capacities of the combustion products of fuel, which consists mainly of carbon and hydrogen, in a stoichiometric volume of air lie in a narrow region between curves 4 and 5 (shaded in Fig. 5).
Products of complete combustion of various vidoges; fuels in stoichiometric air in the temperature range from 0 to 2100 °C have the following heat capacity, kcal/(m3>°C):
Fluctuations in heat capacity of combustion products various kinds fuels are relatively small. At solid fuel with a high moisture content (firewood, peat, brown coal, etc.) the heat capacity of combustion products in the same temperature range is higher than that of fuel with a low moisture content (anthracite, coal, fuel oil, natural gas, etc.) . This is due to the fact that during the combustion of fuel with a high moisture content in the combustion products, the content of water vapor increases, which has a higher heat capacity compared to diatomic gas - nitrogen.
In table. 38 shows the average volumetric heat capacities of the products of complete combustion, not diluted with air, for various temperature ranges.
Table 38
|
The value of the average heat capacities of the combustion products of fuel and air not diluted with air in the temperature range from 0 to t ° С
|
An increase in the moisture content in the fuel increases the heat capacity of the combustion products due to an increase in the content of water vapor in them in the same temperature range, compared with the heat capacity of the combustion products of fuel with a lower moisture content, and at the same time lowers the combustion temperature of the fuel due to an increase in the volume of combustion products due to water pair.
With an increase in the moisture content in the fuel, the volumetric heat capacity of the combustion products increases in a given temperature range and, at the same time, the temperature interval decreases from 0 to £max due to a decrease in the value<тах. ПОСКОЛЬКУ ТЄПЛОЄМКОСТЬ ГЭЗОВ уМвНЬ — шается с понижением температуры, теплоемкость продуктов сгорания топлива с различной влажностью в интервале температур от нуля до <тах для данного топлива претерпевает незначительные колебания (табл. 39). В соответствии с этим можно принять теплоемкость продуктов сгорания всех видов твердого топлива от 0 до tmax равной 0,405, жидкого топлива 0,401, природного, доменного и генераторного газов 0,400 ккал/(м3-°С).
This makes it possible to considerably simplify the determination of the calorimetric and calculated combustion temperatures (according to the method described in Chapter VII). The error allowed in this case usually does not exceed 1%, or 20 °.
From the consideration of curves 4 and 5 in Figs. 5 it can be seen that the ratio of the heat capacity of the products of complete combustion of carbon in a stoichiometric volume of air in the temperature range from 0 to t ° C, for example, from 0 to
|
Heat capacity of combustion products from 0 to t’mayL of various types of solid fuels with a moisture content of 0 to 40%, in a stoichiometric volume of air
|
200 and from 0 to 2100 °C are practically equal to the ratio of the heat capacities of hydrogen combustion products in the same temperature ranges. The specified ratio of heat capacities C' remains practically constant for the products of complete combustion of various types of fuel in a stoichiometric volume of air.
In table. 40 shows the ratios of the heat capacities of the products of complete combustion of fuel with a low content of ballast, which passes into gaseous combustion products (anthracite, coke, coal, liquid fuel, natural, petroleum, coke oven gases, etc.) in the temperature range from 0 to t ° С and in the temperature range from 0 to 2100 °C. Since the heat capacity of these types of fuel is close to 2100 ° C, the indicated ratio of heat capacities C' is equal to the ratio of heat capacities in the temperature range from 0 to t and from 0 to tm&x-
In table. 40 also shows the values of C', calculated for the products of combustion of fuel with a high content of ballast, which passes during the combustion of fuel into gaseous combustion products, i.e. moisture in solid fuel, nitrogen and carbon dioxide in gaseous fuel. The heat capacity of these types of fuel (wood, peat, brown coal, mixed generator, air and blast-furnace gases) is 1600-1700 °C.

The ratio of the heat capacities of the combustion products C' and air K in the temperature range from 0 to t ° C to the heat capacity of the combustion products from 0 to
|
As can be seen from Table. 40, the values of C' and K differ little even for fuel combustion products with different ballast content and heat output.
The thermophysical properties of gaseous combustion products necessary for calculating the dependence of various parameters on the temperature of a given gaseous medium can be established on the basis of the values given in the table. In particular, these dependences for the heat capacity are obtained in the form:
C psm = a -1/ d,
where a = 1,3615803; b = 7,0065648; c = 0,0053034712; d = 20,761095;
C psm = a + bT sm + cT 2 sm,
where a = 0,94426057; b = 0,00035133267; c = -0,0000000539.
The first dependence is preferable in terms of approximation accuracy, the second dependence can be taken to carry out calculations of lower accuracy.

Introduction
Most chemical enterprises generate high- and low-temperature thermal waste, which can be used as secondary energy resources (SER). These include flue gases from various boilers and process furnaces, cooled streams, cooling water and exhaust steam.
Thermal VER to a large extent cover the heat demand of individual industries. Thus, in the nitrogen industry, more than 26% of the heat demand is met by means of VER, in the soda industry - more than 11%.
The number of used HORs depends on three factors: the temperature of the HORs, their thermal power and the continuity of the output.
At present, the most widespread is the utilization of heat from industrial waste gases, which have a high temperature potential for almost all fire engineering processes and can be used continuously in most industries. Waste gas heat is the main component of the energy balance. It is used mainly for technological, and in some cases - for energy purposes (in waste heat boilers).
However, the widespread use of high-temperature thermal VERs is associated with the development of methods for utilization, including the heat of hot slags, products, etc., new methods for utilizing the heat of exhaust gases, as well as with the improvement of the designs of existing utilization equipment.

In tube furnaces without a convection chamber, or in radiant-convection type furnaces, but having a relatively high initial temperature of the heated product, the flue gas temperature can be relatively high, which leads to increased heat loss, reduced furnace efficiency and higher fuel consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to use the heat of the waste gases. This can be achieved either by using an air heater that heats the air entering the furnace for fuel combustion, or by installing waste heat boilers that make it possible to obtain water vapor necessary for technological needs.
However, for the implementation of air heating, additional costs are required for the construction of an air heater, blowers, as well as additional power consumption consumed by the blower motor.
To ensure the normal operation of the air heater, it is important to prevent the possibility of corrosion of its surface from the side of the flue gas flow. This phenomenon is possible when the temperature of the heat exchange surface is lower than the dew point temperature; at the same time, part of the flue gases, directly in contact with the surface of the air heater, is significantly cooled, the water vapor contained in them partially condenses and, absorbing sulfur dioxide from the gases, forms an aggressive weak acid.
The dew point corresponds to the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure of water is equal to the partial pressure of water vapor contained in the flue gases.
One of the most reliable ways to protect against corrosion is to preheat the air in some way (for example, in water or steam heaters) to a temperature above the dew point. Such corrosion can also occur on the surface of convection pipes if the temperature of the raw material entering the furnace is below the dew point.
The source of heat to increase the temperature of saturated steam is the oxidation reaction (combustion) of the primary fuel. The flue gases formed during combustion give off their heat in the radiation and then convection chambers to the raw material flow (steam). Superheated water vapor enters the consumer, and the combustion products leave the furnace and enter the waste heat boiler. At the outlet of the KU, saturated water vapor is fed back to the steam superheating furnace, and the flue gases, being cooled by the feed water, enter the air heater. From the air heater, the flue gases enter the CTAN, where the water flowing through the coil is heated and goes directly to the consumer, and the flue gases are released into the atmosphere.
2. Furnace calculation
2.1 Calculation of the combustion process
Let's determine the lower calorific value of fuel combustion Q R n. If the fuel is an individual hydrocarbon, then its calorific value Q R n equal to the standard heat of combustion minus the heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products. It can also be calculated from the standard thermal effects of the formation of initial and final products based on the Hess law.
For a fuel consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons, the calorific value is determined according to the additivity rule:
where Q pi n- heat of combustion i-th fuel component;
y i- concentration i-th fuel component in fractions of a unit, then:
Q R n cm = 35.84 ∙ 0.987 + 63.80 ∙ 0.0033+ 91.32 ∙ 0.0012+ 118.73 ∙ 0.0004 + 146.10 ∙ 0.0001 \u003d 35.75 MJ / m 3.
Molar mass of fuel:
M m = Σ M i ∙ y i ,
where M i- molar mass i-th fuel component, from here:
M m = 16.042 ∙ 0.987 + 30.07 ∙ 0.0033 + 44.094 ∙ 0.0012 + 58.120 ∙ 0.0004 + 72.15 ∙ 0.0001 + 44.010 ∙ 0.001+ 28.01 ∙ 0.002 = 28.01 ∙ 0.002

then Q R n cm, expressed in MJ/kg, is equal to:

The calculation results are summarized in Table. one:

Conclusion
Having carried out the calculation for the proposed installation (recovery of the heat of the waste gases of the process furnace), we can conclude that for a given fuel composition, furnace productivity in terms of water vapor, and other indicators, the efficiency of the synthesized system is high, thus, the installation is effective; this was also shown by the exergy assessment of the system "furnace - waste heat boiler", however, in terms of energy costs, the installation leaves much to be desired and needs to be improved.

Appendix
When constructing a furnace, ideally, one would like to have such a design that would automatically give as much air as needed for combustion. At first glance, this can be done with a chimney. Indeed, the more intensely the firewood burns, the more hot flue gases should be, the greater the thrust (carburetor model) should be. But it's not. Thrust does not depend at all on the amount of hot flue gases generated. Draft is the pressure drop in the pipe from the pipe head to the firebox. It is determined by the height of the pipe and the temperature of the flue gases, or rather, their density.
Thrust is determined by the formula:
F \u003d A (p in - p d) h
where F is the thrust, A is the coefficient, p in is the density of the outside air, p d is the flue gas density, h is the height of the pipe
Flue gas density is calculated by the formula:
p d \u003d p in (273 + t in) / (273 + t d)
where t in and t d - temperature in degrees Celsius of the outside atmospheric air outside the pipe and flue gases in the pipe.
Velocity of flue gases in the pipe (volume flow, i.e. suction capacity of the pipe) G does not depend on the height of the pipe at all and is determined by the temperature difference between the flue gases and the outside air, as well as the cross-sectional area of the chimney. A number of practical conclusions follow from this.
First of all, the chimneys are made high not at all in order to increase the air flow through the firebox, but only to increase the draft (that is, the pressure drop in the pipe). This is very important to prevent tipping of the draft (furnace smoking) in case of wind pressure (the thrust value must always exceed the possible wind pressure).
Secondly, it is convenient to regulate the air flow using devices that change the area of \u200b\u200bthe free section of the pipe, that is, using valves. With an increase in the cross-sectional area of the chimney channel, for example, by a factor of two, one can expect an approximately twofold increase in the volumetric air flow through the firebox.
Let us explain this with a simple and illustrative example. We have two identical ovens. We combine them into one. We get a double-sized stove with double the amount of burning wood, with double the air flow and the cross-sectional area of \u200b\u200bthe pipe. Or (which is the same thing), if more and more firewood flares up in the firebox, then it is necessary to open the valves on the pipe more and more.
Thirdly If the stove burns normally in the steady state, and we additionally let a stream of cold air into the firebox past the burning wood into the chimney, then the flue gases will immediately cool down, and the air flow through the stove will decrease. At the same time, burning firewood will begin to fade. That is, we do not seem to directly affect the firewood and direct the additional flow past the firewood, but it turns out that the pipe can pass less flue gases than before, when this additional air flow was absent. The pipe itself will reduce the air flow to the firewood that was previously, and besides, it will not let in an additional flow of cold air. In other words, the chimney will be blocked.
That is why cold air leaks through slots in chimneys, excessive air flows in the firebox, and indeed any heat loss in the chimney leading to a decrease in flue gas temperature are so harmful.
Fourth, the greater the coefficient of gas-dynamic resistance of the chimney, the lower the air flow. That is, it is desirable to make the walls of the chimney as smooth as possible, without turbulences and without turns.
Fifth, the lower the temperature of the flue gases, the more sharply the air flow changes with fluctuations in the temperature of the flue gases, which explains the situation of the instability of the pipe when the furnace is ignited.
At sixth, at high flue gas temperatures, the air flow rate is independent of the flue gas temperature. That is, with a strong heating of the furnace, the air flow ceases to increase and begins to depend only on the cross section of the pipe.
Instability issues arise not only when analyzing the thermal characteristics of a pipe, but also when considering the dynamics of gas flows in a pipe. Indeed, the chimney is a well filled with light flue gas. If this light flue gas does not rise very quickly, then there is a possibility that the heavy outside air can simply sink into the light gas and create a falling downward flow in the pipe. This situation is especially likely when the walls of the chimney are cold, that is, during the ignition of the furnace.
Rice. 1. Scheme of the movement of gases in a cold chimney: 1 - firebox; 2 - air supply through the blower; 3-chimney; 4 - valve; 5 - chimney tooth; 6-flue gases; 7-failing cold air; 8 - air flow causing thrust tipping.
a) smooth open vertical pipe
b) a pipe with a valve and a tooth
c) pipe with top valve
Solid arrows show the directions of movement of light hot flue gases. Dashed arrows show the directions of downward flows of cold heavy air from the atmosphere.
On the rice. 1a a furnace is schematically shown, into which air 2 is supplied and flue gases 6 are discharged through the chimney. even the firebox. This falling flow can replace the “regular” air flow through blower 2. Even if the stove is locked with all doors and all air intake dampers are closed, the stove can still burn due to the air coming from above. By the way, this is what often happens when coal burns out with the oven doors closed. A complete tipping of the draft may even occur: air will enter from above through the pipe, and flue gases will exit through the door.
In reality, on the inner wall of the chimney there are always bumps, growths, roughness, upon collision with which the flue gases and the oncoming downward cold air flows swirl and mix with each other. At the same time, the cold downward air flow is pushed out or, heating up, begins to rise upwards mixed with hot gases.
The effect of turning downward flows of cold air upwards is enhanced in the presence of partially open valves, as well as the so-called tooth, which is widely used in the technology of manufacturing fireplaces ( rice. 1b). The tooth prevents the flow of cold air from the chimney into the fireplace space and thereby prevents the fireplace from smoking.
Downdrafts of air in the pipe are especially dangerous in foggy weather: flue gases are not able to evaporate the smallest droplets of water, they cool down, the thrust decreases and may even tip over. At the same time, the stove smokes heavily, does not flare up.
For the same reason, stoves with damp chimneys smoke a lot. Top gate valves are particularly effective in preventing downflows ( rice. 1v), adjustable depending on the speed of the flue gases in the chimney. However, the operation of such valves is inconvenient.
Rice. Fig. 2. Dependence of the excess air coefficient a on the time of heating the furnace (solid curve). The dotted curve is the required air consumption G consumption for the complete oxidation of the combustion products of firewood (including soot and volatile substances) in flue gases (in relative units). The dashed-dotted curve is the actual air consumption G of the pipe provided by the pipe draft (in relative units). The excess air coefficient is the quotient of G pipe separation per G flow
A stable and sufficiently strong draft occurs only after the walls of the chimney have warmed up, which takes a long time, so there is always not enough air at the beginning of the heating. In this case, the excess air coefficient is less than unity, and the furnace smokes ( rice. 2). And vice versa: at the end of the heating, the chimney remains hot, the draft remains for a long time, although the firewood has almost burned out (the excess air coefficient is more than one). Metal furnaces with metal insulated chimneys quickly reach the regime due to the low heat capacity compared to brick pipes.
The analysis of the processes in the chimney can be continued, but it is already clear that no matter how good the stove itself is, all its advantages can be reduced to zero by a bad chimney. Of course, ideally, the chimney would have to be replaced by a modern system of forced flue gas extraction using an electric fan with adjustable flow and with pre-condensation of moisture from the flue gases. Such a system, among other things, could clean the flue gases from soot, carbon monoxide and other harmful impurities, as well as cool the discharged flue gases and provide heat recovery.
But all this is in the distant future. For a summer resident and gardener, a chimney can sometimes become much more expensive than the stove itself, especially in the case of heating a multi-level house. Sauna chimneys are usually simpler and shorter, but the heat output level of the stove can be very high. Such pipes, as a rule, are very hot along the entire length, sparks and ash often fly out of them, but condensation and soot are insignificant.
If for now you plan to use the sauna building only as a bathhouse, then the pipe can also be made uninsulated. If you also think about the bathhouse as a place of possible stay (temporary residence, overnight stays), especially in winter, then it is more expedient to immediately make the pipe insulated, and moreover, qualitatively, “for life”. At the same time, stoves can be changed at least every day, the design can be selected more conveniently and more appropriately, and the pipe will be the same.
At the very least, if the stove is operating in the long-term burning mode (smoldering firewood), then pipe insulation is absolutely necessary, since at low powers (1 - 5 kW) an uninsulated metal pipe will become completely cold, condensate will flow abundantly, which in the most severe frosts can even freeze and block the pipe with ice. This is especially dangerous in the presence of a spark arresting grid and umbrellas with small passage gaps. Spark arresters are useful for intensive heating in summer and extremely dangerous for weak firewood burning conditions in winter. Due to the possible clogging of pipes with ice, the installation of deflectors and umbrellas on chimneys was prohibited in 1991 (and even earlier on chimneys of gas stoves).
For the same reasons, you should not get carried away with the height of the pipe - the level of thrust is not so important for a non-return sauna stove. If it smokes, you can always quickly ventilate the room. But the height above the roof ridge (at least 0.5 m) must be observed to prevent tipping of the thrust during gusts of wind. On flat roofs, the pipe should protrude above the snow cover. In any case, it is better to have a lower pipe, but warmer (than higher, but colder). Tall chimneys are always cold and dangerous in winter.
Cold chimneys have a lot of disadvantages. At the same time, non-insulated, but not very long pipes on metal stoves warm up quickly during kindling (much faster than brick pipes), remain hot with vigorous heating, and therefore are used very widely in baths (and not only in baths), especially since they are relatively cheap. Asbestos-cement pipes are not used on metal furnaces, since they are heavy, and also collapse when overheated with fragments flying.
Rice. 3. The simplest designs of metal chimneys: 1 - a metal round chimney; 2 - spark catcher; 3 - a cap to protect the pipe from atmospheric precipitation; 4 - rafters; 5 - roof sheathing; 6 - wooden blocks between the rafters (or beams) for the design of a fire opening (cutting) in the roof or ceiling (if necessary); 7 - roof ridge; 8 - soft roofing (roofing material, hydrostekloizol, soft tiles, corrugated cardboard-bitumen sheets, etc.); 9 - metal sheet for roofing and covering the opening (it is allowed to use a flat sheet of aceid - an asbestos-cement electrical insulating board); 10 - metal drainage pad; 11 - asbestos sealing of the gap (joint); 12 - metal cap-otter; 13 - ceiling beams (with filling the space with insulation); 14 - ceiling lining; 15 - attic floor (if necessary); 16 - metal sheet of ceiling cutting; 17 - metal reinforcing corners; 18 - metal cover of the ceiling cut (if necessary); 19 - non-combustible heat-resistant insulation (expanded clay, sand, perlite, mineral wool); 20 - protective pad (metal sheet over a layer of asbestos cardboard 8 mm thick); 21 - metal pipe screen.
a) non-thermal insulated pipe;
b) a heat-insulated shielded pipe with a heat transfer resistance of at least 0.3 m 2 -deg / W (which is equivalent to a brick thickness of 130 mm or a mineral wool insulation thickness of 20 mm).
On the rice. 3 typical installation diagrams of non-insulated metal pipes are presented. The pipe itself should be purchased from stainless steel with a thickness of at least 0.7 mm. The most popular diameter of the Russian pipe is 120 mm, the Finnish one is 115 mm.
According to GOST 9817-95, the cross-sectional area of a multi-turn chimney must be at least 8 cm 2 per 1 kW of rated heat output released in the furnace when wood is burned. This power should not be confused with the thermal power of a heat-intensive furnace, released from the outer brick surface of the furnace into the room according to SNiP 2.04.05-91. This is one of the many misunderstandings of our normative documents. Since heat-intensive furnaces are usually heated only 2-3 hours a day, the power in the furnace is about ten times greater than the power of heat release from the surface of a brick oven.
Next time we will talk about the features of the installation of chimneys.
