The Chimneypot
The chimney pot is placed on top of the chimney and helps to expell the smoke.
The fundamental characteristics of the chimneypot are:
-
It must have the same diameter of the chimney
- useful outlet section not less than twice the minimum of the chimney (ex.
Chimney section 200 cm
2
– total output section holes > 400 cm
2
)
-
Shall prevent, through an appropriate construction, the entrance into the
chimney of rain and snow. In very windy areas, it is recommended to install an
appropriate chimneypot.
-
It must be insulated, like the chimney, until its holes.
-
In case the brick chimney has an internal pipe, this pipe shall continue until the
holes in the chimneypot.
-
Avoid the output of two chimneys in the same chimneypot. (fig. 2D)
-
If the chimneypot cannot be placed on the ridge of the roof, it should at least be
positioned so as to ensure the dispersion of smoke outside the reflux area, in
order to prevent the formation of back pression in the chimney, which can
compromise the exit of smoke into the atmosphere.
