Flue gas is a type of exhaust gas that exits the atmosphere through a pipe often called a flue. Flue gas can be seen exiting power plants, a fireplace, oven, boiler or steam generator.
If there is too much airflow in a flue gas system, one common symptom could be a decrease in the temperature of the flue gases exiting the system. This can lead to issues such as poor combustion efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potentially incomplete combustion of fuels.
It is not recommended to close the fireplace flue during a tornado. Doing so can lead to increased pressure inside the house, which may cause structural damage. It is best to keep the flue open to prevent any potential issues.
Nitrogen gas is diatomic, meaning it consists of two nitrogen atoms bonded together (N2).
The chemical formula for chlorine gas is Cl2, meaning each molecule of chlorine gas is composed of two chlorine atoms bonded together.
The waste treatment plant involving combustion of organic materials is called an incinerator. In an incinerator, waste is burned at high temperatures to reduce its volume and convert it into ash, flue gas, and heat.
A flue-gas analysis kit may contain a gas detector for measuring gas concentrations, a temperature probe for measuring flue gas temperature, and a draft gauge for measuring draft pressure in the flue.
A flue gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant removes Sulphur Dioxide from the flue gas before it is released into the atmosphere and hence reduces our impact on the environment.
Usually refers to a gas fireplace, since wood fireplaces are vented by the flue (chimney) Gas fireplaces can be vented (flue) or unvented (no flue)
Of course If the flue is sized properly
flu (meaning sickness) flue (as in fireplace flue or vent)
A flue gas analyzer is used to check the chemicals in the gasses in one's flue. They can be purchased at most home improvement stores or stores that have a home improvement section.
Flue gas loss on ignition can be calculated by measuring the difference in stack gas temperature before and after ignition, along with the flow rate of the gas and its composition. By determining the energy content of the flue gas before and after combustion, the flue gas loss on ignition can be calculated using the energy balance equation. This measurement helps in assessing the efficiency of the combustion process and identifying opportunities for improvement.

If the boiler fuel contains Sulphur (and most do) combustion products in the flue gas will include Oxides of Sulphur (SO2 and SO3). SO3 combines with water (H2O) to make Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4). If the temperature of the flue gas falls below the dew point, the combination of the acid with the moisture in the flue gas causes corrosion of the flue gas duct work. Bypassing the economiser in the early stages of a boiler start keeps the flue gas temperature above the dew point.
To calculate the flue gas velocity in an air preheater, you would need to know the volumetric flow rate of the flue gas passing through the preheater and the cross-sectional area of the preheater. You can then use the formula: Velocity = Volumetric flow rate / Cross-sectional area of preheater. This calculation will give you the velocity at which the flue gas is moving through the air preheater.
A flue gas analysis kit may contain a digital manometer to measure draft pressures, a flue gas analyzer to measure levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, and other gases, and a thermocouple for temperature measurement.
No. The flue must be open to allow the carbon monoxide to escape from the house.
