Today in Italy offers the only thermoset sheath, which is currently available on the market,
capable of sustaining temperatures up to
1000° C .
Ideal for flues for fireplaces and ovens (including pizzerias)
industrial furnaces and chimneys.
The chimney
The chimney, also known as fire or fireplace, it was practically the first method
to heat a house, in fact if you visit any castle
rock or very old house, in almost every room there is one. Is
made in many sizes and dimensions, shapes and materials. Are
constructed in a wall or corner of the room, where there is a chimney,
necessary to convey the smoke produced by combustion, to the
higher output terminal of the chimney: this system was invented by
Normanni because until then they did the fire burn inside
dwellings in a room, such as the atrium (from ater, black).
Currently, the technology proposed by the fireplace countless producers
International offers solutions which are ready for both the open fireplace in the room,
is a closed room.
The chimney can also take a unique, artistic and architectural
both in its end as in the Palazzo delle Contesse of
Mel, both within the local host. This is the traditional fireplace
as you see in any film or any publication in history. The front of the
hearth or brazier, is open to the room to be warm, free of
directly spread the heat of the flame into the room. Operation is
very similar to fireplaces always in use, except on technical volti
to achieve maximum efficiency, which can convey more heat
in the environment, with minimum one who escapes from the chimney
outside, and this goal is achieved both with accurate calculations in
size of the mouth of the firebox, cane unloading, and the chimney
of the air, either by adopting specific heat reflective material and/ or
insulation.
The traditional open fireplace can be said to be working when there is a "draft",
ie when evacuating the fumes without problems arising during the
combustion. The proper functioning depends on precise physical laws, not
adhering to these, construction is likely to affect the
operation: they are very frequent cases where a chimney can not be
on, because the fumes unbreathable invade the room that houses the
artefact. Searching on the internet there are a few publications that
help to build fireplaces functioning properly dimensioning in the
various elements that make up this architectural element.
Fireplace chamber closed
The fireplace is not in direct contact with the environment but is separated by a glass screen. This technology is more expensive but the open fireplace offers several advantages. The brazier is contained within a prefabricated piece of rectangular or square, the structure is usually composed of cast iron, sheet iron, and any inserts in refractory material. The front of the flame is shielded from the environment towards a glass door.
The diffusion of heat occurs in two distinct ways: direct radiation and convection. The advantages of this type consist of a greater efficiency, greater autonomy and less maintenance. The high efficiency of this technology allows to heat other rooms besides the one in which the fireplace is installed, the transfer of hot is entrusted to mere pipe diameter appropriate if the plant is made in accordance with best practice, the slow convective motion of air, which is generated in the environments, it is sufficient to maintain the optimal temperature, if the convective motion is not sufficient, you can force the recirculation of air through special electric fans. The use of fans in a plant chimney results in a substantial increase of the powder present in the environment, she has the advantage of reach in a shorter time the desired temperature, usually the manufacturers provide the fans as an optional kit. The evolution of technology achieved by the fireplace closed, tending to peak performance, it also facilitates the management, offering a range of office comes to more than 8 hours, removing the range of ash sparsely to 7-10 days, the cleaning intervals of very elongated front glass.
Both types are made entirely prefabricated, thus facilitating the positioning in the room, with the masonry minimized. The manufacturers also offer a wide selection of accessories, furniture, both in materials in architecture.
