  2. 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.

  3. Stack effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_effect

    The stack effect or chimney effect is the movement of air into and out of buildings through unsealed openings, chimneys, flue-gas stacks, or other purposefully designed openings or containers, resulting from air buoyancy. Buoyancy occurs due to a difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density resulting from temperature and moisture differences ...

    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. Draft tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_tube

    Draft tube installed above tail race. A draft tube is a diverging tube fitted at the exit of a turbine's runner and used to utilize the kinetic energy available with water at the exit of the runner. [1] This draft tube at the end of the turbine increases the pressure of the exiting fluid at the expense of its velocity.

  6. Steam locomotive exhaust system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_exhaust...

    Soon after the power of the steam blast was discovered it became apparent that a smokebox was needed beneath the chimney, to provide a space in which the exhaust gases emerging from the boiler tubes can mix with the steam. This had the added advantage of allowing access to collect the ash drawn through the fire tubes by the draught.

  7. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel).
