What Causes Damage in Chimneys?
Heat generators must maintain the highest possible efficiencies, and a 20°C decrease in flue gas temperature increases heat generator efficiency by 1% . Due to the high amount of water in the waste gases of heat generators burning gas or liquid fuel, there is a significant risk of condensation and acid formation in chimneys. The large mass of stacked or bricked chimneys absorbs more heat from the flue gases. All these chimney types require a chimney report. Damage occurs in chimneys with inadequate construction or design due to condensation, freezing, and vapor diffusion. The acidic nature of condensation water causes degradation, collapse, and blockage of chimney materials. This can create hazards and even lead to loss of life. For practically inadequate chimney systems, it is essential to obtain a
chimney report by utilizing chimney cleaning services.
What are Hermetic Chimney Systems?
Hermetic devices use chimney sets provided by manufacturers for connections. Accordingly, connections made with non-original accessories such as welding etc. should be strictly avoided. It is essential to adhere to the chimney systems and especially the lengths determined by the manufacturers, and chimney cleaning must be performed at regular intervals to obtain a chimney report.
