Bosch Flue and Ventilation Quick Reference Guide 2022
Open flue terminations above 333kW net input
When a flue configuration is rated over 333 kW net heat input then according to the ‘Clean air act’ local authorities must be
informed to gain approval of the Chimney height. This is to ensure that flue discharges do not cause nuisance to others or become
a health hazard.
(
In accordance with IGEM-UP-10: 3.1.1
)
The flue height should be calculated considering the building height, adjacent buildings, adjacent chimneys, and flues. If a
taller building is within 5U (see
Figure 16
) of the flue termination point, the taller building height should be used for the
calculation.
This guidance only considers the simple case where a single flue is attached to a building. For more complex situations,
refer to IGEM/UP/10 Edition 4.
The total flue height = the building height (in metres) + (0.6 x U (the uncorrected chimney height))
Example
(See Figure 17)
4x GC 7000 WP @ 386 kW Net heat input = 0.859U, Building Height = 9m
•
Chimney height (H
C
) = Building Height (H
B
) + 0.6U = 9 + 0.6 x 0.859 (1) = 10m (Round up to the nearest meter)
4x GC 7000 WP @ 560.4 kW Net heat input = 1.074U, Building Height = 15m
•
Chimney height (H
C
) = Building Height (H
B
) + 0.6U = 15 + 0.6 x 1.074 (1.1) = 17.2m (Round up to the nearest meter)
