A Simulation supported chimney design application for greener buildings

Windsor, Ontario

Exhaust gases emitted by heat sources must be discharged into the atmosphere in the most dependable manner possible without endangering human health. This is possible because the chimneys are connected to the heat source. There are some guidelines for locating chimneys in relation to existing structures, determining the minimum height, and calculating the chimney section. The performance of the heat source is also directly affected by the correct sizing of the chimneys. The large diameter of the chimney at a fixed height causes hot air inside the heat source to be thrown into the atmosphere more than necessary, resulting in incomplete combustion formation and additional cost. A small chimney diameter affects the device's combustion performance and causes efficiency loss. The ideal chimney diameter should be chosen with the existing conditions in mind. There are numerous calculation programs available for checking chimney diameter on a computer. In this study, the performances of chimney building materials and chimney type alternatives that can be used for the most environmental chimney design in a planned building in Malatya province of Turkey were investigated. Boilers for the building are designed as solid fuel (coal). The calculations have been expanded so that the boiler capacities are between 100.000 kcal/h and 250.000 kcal/h, taking into account the variability of the usable energy amounts in the planned building. The analysis was carried out for comparison using the Kesa-aladin calculation program, which was accepted by Europe
