In most cases, the fireplace damper is open when the chain is up and closed when the chain is down. Pulling the chain up usually opens the damper to allow smoke and gases to escape, while pulling it down closes the damper when the fireplace is not in use.
Additional details: the damper on the duct next to furnace is marked summer winter. I read the handle should be parallel to the duct in the summer indicating it is open. this duct is not straight but slightly curves. the summer marking is pointed down to the right. is this correct. I have a picture if someone tells me how to post
A lever chain hoist works by using a lever to lift heavy loads. As the operator pulls the lever down, it engages a ratcheting mechanism that lifts the load. The chain attached to the hoist is used to support and lower the load.
If you opened a door in a world without friction, the door would likely continue moving forever in the direction it was opened without slowing down or stopping unless acted upon by an external force. The lack of friction would prevent any resistance to its motion, allowing it to move indefinitely.
there is a type of device on the train of the rollercoaster that is known as the "chain dog". the "chain dog" grabs the hill so it doesn't roll backwards, but it still allows the train to go upwards by the pulling motion of the chain (note: the bolded "chain" is not the chain dog, the chain dog holds while the regular chain pulls)
Scalar chain refers to the line of authority within an organization, depicting the levels of management from the highest to the lowest. It establishes a clear communication and decision-making pathway, ensuring that orders and information flow smoothly from top management down to the lower levels of the organization. Adhering to the scalar chain helps maintain a hierarchical structure and promotes organizational efficiency.
Virgie M. Ammons of Eglon, West Virginia"Inside the fireplace chimney is a device called a "Damper". The damper is opened and closed to allow smoke from the fireplace to be drawn upward out of the house. The "Fireplace Damper Actuating Tool" designed by Ammons allows the damper to be"locked" in the closed position, preventing cold air and dust from blowing down the chimney back into the house."Patent No. 3,908,633 September 30, 1975 Source: Black Facts Online
Then you have a shortage of combustion air, and it is drawing air down the unused fireplace flue. Close the damper of the unused fireplace, and check for exhaust fans that may be drawing air out of the house.
To shut down a fireplace at night and minimize morning odors, first ensure the fire is fully extinguished by allowing all logs and embers to burn down completely. Close the damper to prevent drafts and keep odors from entering the home. Additionally, consider placing a fireplace screen or glass doors to contain any residual smells. Lastly, regularly clean the fireplace and chimney to reduce lingering odors over time.
When a fireplace is not being used... glass doors are not a good way to stop cold air from exiting the chimney. The first thing that needs to be done is the fireplace damper should be closed to prevent this heat loss. If the damper is not-functional or absent a chimney balloon or chimney top damper can be installed to stop the heat loss.When there is a fire in the fireplace...Fireplace glass doors reduce the amount of already heated interior air that the fireplace has access to. So it does slow down the inside heated air from being cast up the chimney with the fires combustion heat, but glass doors do not stop this heat waste completely. Fireplace glass doors also inhibit the only usable heat the a fireplace produces (radiant heat) from coming into the living area. Standard open fireplaces and fireplaces with glass doors are notoriously inefficient at heating the home. According to the US Department of Energy using a fireplace in the winter will actually make your heating bill go up by 10% on average.
A door damper, is something that slows down the door when closing for safety of children and adults.
Something is preventing your fireplace from drawing. The damper may be closed, or partially closed. Your chimney may have a blockage, or you may have prevailing winds that push smoke back down the chimney. If you have air flow problems, such as a vent fan that draws air out of the house, it can cause that. Bottom line- if the damper is open, and the flue is not blocked, you need a good fireplace/chimney specialist to examine what you have.
Me and Mandy were cold, so we sat down by the fireplace.
Most dampers are designed to close DOWN, and are kept closed by the weight of the damper. Get a pair of safety glasses and a flashlight, check for foreign material or mortar that may be keeping the damper from seating, and that the metal of the damper plate is not warped.
