  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. Chimney - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney

    A chimney cowl or wind directional cap is a helmet-shaped chimney cap that rotates to align with the wind and prevent a downdraft of smoke and wind down the chimney. An H-style cap is a chimney top constructed from chimney pipes shaped like the letter H. It is an age-old method of regulating draft in situations where prevailing winds or ...

  5. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

    The third method is by simply using an induced draught fan (ID fan) which sucks flue gases out of the furnace and up the stack. Almost all induced draught furnaces have a negative pressure. Forced draught: draught is obtained by forcing air into the furnace by means of a fan (FD fan) and duct-work.

  6. Solar updraft tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_updraft_tower

    The performance of an updraft tower may be degraded by factors such as atmospheric winds, [56] [57] by drag induced by the bracings used for supporting the chimney, [58] and by reflection off the top of the greenhouse canopy. However, updraft may be enhanced by crosswind at the upper level – creating a low pressure vortex across the top of ...

  7. 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.
