DIMENSIONING
The drop in pressure (draft) of a flue depends on its height. Check the drop in pressure with the values indicated in the technical
characteristics. The minimum height of the chimney is 3.5 meters.
The interior cross-section of the flue can be circular (best variation), square or rectangular (the ratio between the interior sides must be
≤1.5) with the sides joined with a minimum radius of 20 mm. The dimension of the cross-section must be
minimum Ø100mm
.
The cross sections/lengths of chimneys must be correctly sized in accordance with the general method of calculation of UNI EN13384-1 or
other proven efficiency methods.
Below is a list of some flues available on the market:
Steel chimney AISI 316 with
double chamber insulated with
ceramic fibre or equivalent
resistant up to 400°C.
Refractory chimney with
double insulated chamber and
external lightweight concrete
cladding with cellular material
such as clay.
Traditional square-section clay
chimney with insulating empty
inserts.
Avoid products with an internal
rectangular section where the
larger side is 1.5 times the
smaller side (e.g. 20x40 or
15x30).
