modern bath with built-in chimney began to look much more attractive than those who were our ancestors.They had to wash and bathe "in black."Now baths no settling of soot or carbon monoxide.In this article, we'll show you how to be a chimney for the furnace of bath and how to install it by hand.
What is a chimney for the furnace of bath?
Before writing about requirements to the chimney, you need to understand what it is.In common parlance, this is a kind of pipe that displays the products of combustion from the furnace and provides traction to maintain this process.That is a chimney for smoke bathhouse furnace outputs, and creates cravings.
Types chimneys
designs have several classifications, most of them are divided into:
- domestic;
- external.
first are most often found in the Russian baths.They did not violate a single architectural style of the pair, in terms of efficiency - it is the best option.All the heat remains inside the premises.This bathhouse chimney for the furnace is easy to operate, easy to care for him, it does not require additional insulation, and thrust him much better.What can be said about the external structures.To install them you must make a hole in the roof of the baths, which in itself is not very nice.
chimney made of the same materials as the construction of fireplaces and other similar equipment.Most often produce stainless steel chimneys.Also steel widely used ceramic and bricks.It is often possible to meet the combined model in which a steel pipe is installed inside the brickwork.Sometimes hidden in a ceramic discharge stainless steel flues.Aluminium and asbestos cement used in saunas and baths is prohibited, as the level of thermal conductivity and fire resistance of these materials is very low.
design requirements
Chimney in the bath must meet certain requirements:
- The inner surface drainage should be as smooth as possible, it will help in the future to reduce the amount of soot settles.
- To achieve the best traction, the chimney must have a circular cross section.In this case, the air will encounter minimal resistance.
- If you use a rectangular or square chimney, then the area of the internal cross-section must comply with the power of the furnace.For example, for a furnace requires 3.5kW section 140 * 140 mm, 5.2 kW - 140 * 200 mm etcThe same applies to the oval.
- to thrust has been tweaked, and soot as little put off by the inner sections of the pipe, it is necessary to flat and horizontal tube have a length of not more than one meter.
- When the flue crosses the overlap of the roof, you need to install a breaker fire.In these places, there should be a pipe joint.
Various circuit devices chimneys
Any chimney in the bath is composed of pipe, flanges and fittings.Positioning structure rather closer to the inner side wall.At this point, the chimney will not give heat to nowhere and thrust will be the most effective.If this set does not work, that is another way of keeping warm - warm walls.From the outside temperature affects the speed of the cooling pipe.For regions with severe and prolonged frosts better to make a solid wall thickness of 58-68 cm, and are suitable for other 38-cm.For each furnace need to install your chimney.The device crosscuts done at the height of 75 cm.
By way of installation are two types of chimney: Side and Pack Top.The latter is mounted on the outlet and usually has a conventional shape.This chimney often is expelled through the roof.Addl structure mounted to the side wall of the furnace or boiler.On the street displayed a chimney through the wall, and then pick up the pipe vertically to the desired height.
Installing the chimney to the metal furnace flue
Installation starts when the oven is installed.This will require holding the support, which, thanks to the expansion clearance for the pipe perfectly attached to the structure.It is best not to use iron pipe bends, and "sandwich" -channels.The upper part of the tube is equipped with a cone-shaped cap iron.It will protect the chimney from rainfall.As for the bottom of the drain, it closes the traditional cap for cleaning pipes and condensate drain.
Installing chimney brick oven
chimney brick is usually spread on their own, together with a stove.Building installation starts when the end of the last row of stone laying of the furnace.Some begin to create a chimney when the side door hides the brick stove.In row 21 formed by laying two fingers, each of which is the width of one brick.Above, they merge into a single channel.The space above the core is blocked, and the gap between him and taps filled with mineral wool.In a series of 22 free space disappears completely, and the process connection taps into a single channel.Gradually narrow chimney of bricks, the space inside is not greater than the width of a single stone.At this point, set 2 through a series of valves.After styling becomes a classic fuzz.If you are not very familiar with the technology of mounting a brick, then such a problem, as the construction of the chimney with your hands, you can not do.It is necessary to closely monitor and then to during laying not formed cracks.
How to mount the chimney yourself?
The easiest way - to make a chimney for the furnace of bath stainless steel.For the self-assembly need some tools and materials:
- 3 tribes galvanizing, 2 of which 16 * 120 cm, 1 - 20 * 120 cm;
- tee with a plug of 16 cm;
- 3 stainless steel knee - 16 x 10 cm;
- fungus is 20 cm.
All pipes need to fasten screws.The roof slab make a hole with a diameter of 16 cm. Thermal insulation, tiles and other materials, which are near the roof, must be removed.The outer part of the tube is wound basalt wool and asbestos cord tightened further.On top of her worn pipe is fixed and coated with a solution of bitumen mastic.To avoid gaps between the taps, also need to wind the cord of asbestos.This will prevent the pipe from moisture and mold and mildew.
What to do with the finished chimney?There
ready chimneys, whose price starts from 400 rubles per 1 unit.How to properly install?The tube is placed to drain the smoke so that nursing was out at least 50 cm. At the junction of the roof with a chimney made "otter" - Stroebe sealed to protect the pipe from falling rain.If there soot inside the channels, then the chimney poorly installed may have cracks in the structure or gaps, which cause the resin to settle on the surface.
Cleaning the chimney for the furnace of bath
absolutely any chimneys, the price of which is equal to 500 or 5,000 rubles, need constant cleaning.It is best to use a mechanical method of purification using brushes and special weights.It happens that this procedure is accompanied by a sledgehammer blows with a hammer.Clean the stainless steel flues desirable in the street, as it is very dirty work with a lot of dust and soot.Typically, the remaining elements of the chimney hide bags or newspaper beforehand.You can use an ordinary brush, push it into the canal.Once the resistance of the carbon black will weaken, so the pipe is clean completely.
Some owners baths in a special clean the chimney, photo such manipulations occur in construction journals.They throw a lump of snow inside the chimney.You can clean the pipe obstuchal its contour with a hammer outside.Many bathhouse use aspen wood, combustion of which create a special thrust.It allows you to bring the ashes out of the chimney.Strong dry heat aspen and coniferous trees promotes faster combustion of tar in the pipes.Some resort to a more economical option.Potato peels have the same properties as wood from aspen.However, not always possible to procure raw materials in the right quantity.But if such a possibility exists, it is several times the cost and save your strength.
There are special chemicals with which clean the chimney.Photos, price and characteristics of such funds can be found in a variety of construction publications.Preparations render out with an all black, some substances loosen soot, and it falls off by itself.Experienced bathhouse advised to clean the chimneys in the baths after a rain.
Proper installation, easy maintenance and timely cleaning - everything you need to work effectively chimney sauna stoves.
