Products
Our comprehensive product portfolio covers a full range of commercial & industrial solutions across a selection of fuels and applications.

Clean Air Act

The Clean Air Act applies to gas (and other fuels) fired appliance installations with specific requirements for installations exceeding 366 kW total gross heat input, including approval of the height of the chimney by the local authority. In most cases the chimney height can be calculated in accordance with Clean Air Act Memorandum, which takes into account the fuel type, rated input, building heights and general topography of the surrounding area. The Clean Air Act gives power to local councils to control domestic and industrial smoke to improve local air quality and meet EU air quality standards for sulphur dioxide and particulates. It enables local councils to create 'smoke control areas' and order the use of cleaner fuels in these areas.

CHIMNEYS & FLUES

Flue Sizes
Flue sizes range from 100mm to 1200mm diameter depending on the product type and application. They are generally offered with 25mm insulation as standard. Where increased temperatures are expected, normally from chp and generators, the annulus can be increased to 50mm, 75mm, 100mm or 150mm thick by using mineral wool. This can be applied with a variation of different thicknesses and density, which in turn reduces the loss of heat.

Design, Manufacture & Testing

Every flue, chimney or exhaust system we install has been calculated using the latest computer aided software available. All of our products are designed and manufactured to meet the requirements of the specific fuel involved - whether it be gas, oil, wood or pellet feed. For us, good practise is paramount. This thorough procedure is necessary to ascertain reliable performance for total efficiency and more importantly to fully comply with all relevant government legislation. System calculations are quickly available by entering the appliance detail and the intended flue configuration into our iCalc sizing system. Whether its an individual or combined system, a detailed report is provided indicating exhaust flow rates, chimney size and available pressure, allowing the correct selection for each and every application. The system must be designed to convey the products combustion to atmosphere safely and provide a stable operating pressure at the appliance at all times. With the demand for modern boiler plants, a number of factors must be considered to achieve the optimum efficiency for the equipment and surrounding area. AutoCAD drawings are produced by our highly experience team of engineers for approval. The drawings indicate the exact design, flue size and proposed layout of the system.

British Standards

The products we use are approved and CE marked to EN 1856-1 and manufactured under a quality assurance scheme, certificate no issued upon request, administered by British Standards in accordance with BS EN 9001: 2008. Manufacture & Installation must be in accordance with local and national building regulations together with: BS: 5440 -1:2008 Domestic natural gas appliances international codes BS EN 15287: 2007 for masonry chimneys and flue pipes BS 6644:2011 Specification for the installation and maintenance of gas-fired hot water boilers of rated inputs between 70 kW (net) and 1.8 MW (net) (2nd and 3rd family gases) IGE/UP/10 Installation of flued gas appliances in industrial and commercial premises.

FLUE DILUTION

Good Practise:

There are two methods that can be considered when designing the dilution system:

Air is directly taken from the outside. Fresh air is taken from within the plant area. Generally, the favoured option is to take the air direct from the outside via a louvre situated on the external face of the building or above roof level.

Further Considerations are:

The inlet and discharge openings shall be, as far as possible, apart and located on the same building face to prevent external wind conditions affecting the overall operation and performance of the dilution system.

Airtherm can offer a fan dilution system to suit many appliances, from modern high efficiency condensing to gas blown and atmospheric boilers, however, the principal of diluting the products of combustion is to reduce the CO content at the discharge to below 1%, CO 50ppm & NOx 5ppm (BS6644 / IGEUP/10) in line with current legislation.
There are many design considerations that must be achieved, for instance, the correct sizing of the fan unit, dilution header, inlet and discharge plenum boxes, the location to adjacent buildings, openable windows, fresh air vent pipes and final discharge height. These can be found from the Clean Air Act memorandum, IGEUP/10 or BS6644, along with other certain provisions with respect to the final discharge height which is calculated based on the total kw input load of the plant.

Inter-connection section from the boiler to the main dilution header should be fitted with a manual volume control damper and, if deemed necessary by the appliance manufacture, allow a draft stabiliser device which will ensure a safe stable operation. Incorporate sufficient noise control. Suitable ductwork must be manufactured from stainless steel, with a requirement for a watertight system when serving high efficiency condensing boilers. Where a condensing application is considered it is normal for pluming to take effect, however, a reduced external temperature will accelerate the process, nevertheless, this may lead to complaints if the discharge point is not positioned correctly. The dilution fan must incorporate a proving device normally a pressure switch, which interlocks with the boiler control. We offer a design, supply and installation service for flue dilution systems, and can offer a tailored-made package to site conditions and customer requirements.

Technical Guidance to the CE MARK

The CE MARK is the symbol obligatory since April 2005 t hat certifies that a stainless steel chimney is in accordance with the EN 1856-1. This standard specifies the performance requirements for rigid single and multi-wall system chimney products with metallic liners (chimney sections, chimneys fittings and terminals, including supports) used to convey the products of combustion from appliances to the outside atmosphere. It also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturer's instructions, product information and evaluation of conformity of the product to the standard. The EN 1856-1 does not apply to self-standing chimneys. CE Marking of stainless steel chimneys is according to the evaluation system 2+. Following this system, the manufacturer is obliged to realize the complete initial test of the chimney in a laboratory, and moreover, a Certified Body will: * annually check that the manufactured product has the same quality as the tested one * perform the quality control of the production process to ensure that it will satisfy the CE requirements, specified in the FPC (Factory Production Control).

On December 2005, the EN 1856-2 will also be obligatory: this standard is applicable to single wall chimneys, rigid or flexible, and rigid connection elements used to reline an existing chimney. In the EN 1856-2, the flexible ducts are only used for renovation or adaptation The CE MARK of the stainless steel chimney can only be granted by a Certified Body.of e The CE Mark enables the product to circulate freely in the European market, but each country could have its own Installation Rules.
