System of single-fold chimney cartridges made of acid-resistant steel
SYSTEM OF ONE-RESISTANT CHIMNEY CARTIDGES - KOMINUS KS
Characteristics of the KS system
The KS system is a pipe and fitting system for draining flue gas from heating devices with an open combustion chamber of gas or heating oil. The abbreviation of KS comes from the first and last letter of the word acid on which the system operation is resistant.
The KS system is made of acid-resistant steel with a suitable element composition that guarantees steel resistance to acid. During gas combustion or heating oil, acid oxides are formed. During the chemical reaction, an acid is formed, which is dangerous for steel.
For this reason, it is important that the steel is resistant to this type of chemical compounds. The system is produced in three wall thicknesses - 0.5mm, 0.8 mm and 1 mm.
When the KS system should be used and what benefits gives us its choice
The KS system called traditional "acid" is currently one of the most frequently chosen systems. It applies both as a flue gas drainage system as well as (slightly less frequently) ventilation system. The first most important argument that determines the selection of the KS system is to have a heating device with an open combustion chamber. Heating devices with an open combustion chamber are devices marked in the European classification of heating devices (ECUG) type B devices.
They are characterized by that they charge the air necessary for the combustion process from the surroundings of the room in which they are found and the combustion products are discharged outside the building via the chimney.
The basic benefit of the KS system users is safety that ensure tight czop-mufa connections. Currently, this is an argument that among potential buyers is one of the most important. Another benefit is to save due to relatively low prices of individual elements. You should also not forget about savings related to assembly costs. An additional benefit is the comfort of use, which all material and technological features of the system affect.
The use of steel with appropriate physicochemical parameters in combination with a modern production process guarantees long-term system functionality with its correct operation.
What should be remembered before purchasing the KS system
When we know that we have to buy a KS system to our boiler and decide to buy it, we must remember to collect basic information that will allow proper selection of system parameters to our chimney cord. The most important thing is the exact dimension of the chimney cross-section. In most cases, this is a square cross-section, but also happen, especially in older type buildings, rectangular cross-sections. This information is necessary to properly select the input diameter. The diameter should be chosen in such a way that the surface section of the cartridge as much as possible occupied the surface of the chimney. This is important when ensuring the correct chimney sequence - the most important element affecting the proper functioning of the chimney and the heating device.
When selecting the diameter of the chimney, one should also remember to maintain the appropriate dimension tolerance. This is important because the chosen cartridge diameter in addition to the fact that it must cover the chimney surface as much as possible, it must also allow its easy assembly. When we know what diameter of the cartridge we need to know how high our chimney will be.
The height of the chimney determines the number of elements needed such as simple pipes or centering clamps that ensure the maintenance of the cartridge in a vertical position eliminating the danger of its deviations from this position. When we already know the chimney height and the diameter of the insert you need, we still have to check the diameter of the outlet wire from the boiler and the distance of the boiler from the chimney. This is the information needed to suit the selection of connection elements. If the diameter of the outlet cable from the boiler differs from the diameter of the chimney, remember to purchase a reduction. In the case of purchase of a reduction, pay attention to the size of the diameter we want to obtain.
Correct installation with a guarantee of the right functioning of the chimney system, i.e. practical tips on how to do so that the chimney serves us for years
The assembly of the chimney system is one of the main factors responsible for the proper functioning of the entire installation. For this reason, it should be made by specialized assembly teams. Before assembling the assembly, the existing chimney cord from the residue of combustion products and any other unnecessary elements such as residues of damaged bricks, etc. should also be prepared to prepare any openings in the walls that are necessary to connect the connection from the heating device to the correct chimney cable .
Only after completing these activities, you can start properly assembling the chimney system. It is important that individual elements are properly combined because any negligence in this matter are unacceptable due to the safety of users to ensure the tightness of the installation. Keep in mind that the chimney cable should be mounted in a vertical position. In order to ensure the right position, use the centering clamps preferably every 3 MB.
After completing the proper assembly, we only have to check the functioning of the chimney system and enjoy its correct operation for many years.
