How to eliminate reverse thrust

How to eliminate reverse thrust

Long operation of furnaces and fireplaces leads to the fact that sooner or later they begin to be capricious at kindling. Smoke begins to get into the house through slots in laying or door instead of being extended in pipe. This phenomenon has the name "reversal thrust", the reasons for that there can be the whole set.

Instruction

1. First of all it is worth understanding why there is reverse thrust and whether additional procedures for kindling are required. Bring strip of the thin paper attached on basis or thin weather vane in the furnace. On moving direction of one of these devices it is possible to understand where smoke the first minutes of kindling will move, so far the fireplace or the furnace will not get warm thoroughly.

2. Compare temperature on the street and indoors. If air is outside warmer than air temperature indoors, can not doubt, the furnace will smoke at kindling. The explanation for that is: the warm mass of air which was created over inlet opening of flue create conditions for emergence of reverse thrust. By means of the ordinary household hair dryer it is possible to warm up furnace space of the furnace and to eliminate with that reverse thrust.

3. The low flue can become the reason of emergence of reverse thrust. Height of flue has to be not less than four and a half meters, not below ventilating duct. Having increased stack height, you thereby will increase draft. The flue has to be above roof ridge, at arrangement of pipe near high objects and trees the draft will depend completely on wind speed and its direction.

4. Deposits and soot and also ledges and the acting bricks in flue can create reverse thrust. The more smooth surface of flue inside, the will be better draft. Call the stove-setter or clean pipe from within and fix problems. In the presence of the depressurized seams, guide mix and cover all slots.

5. Reverse thrust can happen because of air intensive streams on stair flight, connecting the room to the geyser or fireplace with higher part of the building. For prevention of capsizing of draft and smoke of the furnace exclude completely drafts on ladder, do not open window on the stair landings located higher than the level of fire chamber.
