2. Stack effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

   The draft (draught in British English) flow rate induced by the stack effect can be calculated with the equation presented below. [12] [13] The equation applies only to buildings where air is both inside and outside the buildings. For buildings with one or two floors, h is the height of the building and A is the flow area of the openings.

3. Draft (boiler) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(boiler)

   Normally it is done with the help of a forced draft fan. [2] Induced draft: When air or flue gases flow under the effect of a gradually decreasing pressure below atmospheric pressure. In this case, the system is said to operate under induced draft. The stacks (or chimneys) provide sufficient natural draft to meet the low draft loss needs.

4. Flue-gas stack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_stack

   A flue gas stack at GRES-2 Power Station in Ekibastuz, Kazakhstan, the tallest of its kind in the world (420 meters or 1,380 feet) [1]. A flue-gas stack, also known as a smoke stack, chimney stack or simply as a stack, is a type of chimney, a vertical pipe, channel or similar structure through which flue gases are exhausted to the outside air.

5. Flue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue

   A seven-flue chimney in a four-storey Georgian house in London, showing alternative methods of sweeping. A flue is a duct, pipe, or opening in a chimney for conveying exhaust gases from a fireplace, furnace, water heater, boiler, or generator to the outdoors. Historically the term flue meant the chimney itself. [1]

6. Fire-tube boiler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-tube_boiler

   Modern industrial boilers use fans to provide forced or induced draughting of the boiler. Another major advance in the Rocket was large numbers of small-diameter firetubes (a multi-tubular boiler) instead of a single large flue. This greatly increased the surface area for heat transfer, allowing steam to be produced at a much higher rate.

7. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

   Research aiming at the development of natural ventilation systems featuring heat recovery have been made as early as 1993 where Shultz et al. [8] proposed and tested a chimney type design relying on stack effect while recovering heat using a large counterflow recuperator constructed from corrugated galvanized iron. Both supply and exhaust ...
