Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does replacing a Chimney Cap improve airflow in your chimney?
Chimney cap is the first line of defense for your chimney. Its major function is to prevent the debris, rain and animals from being fallen into your chimney. Chimney cap is responsible for the protection of the underlying material such as chimney crown and chimney flue. Chimney caps are usually made up of stainless steel or copper and both of the materials are known for their long life. An ideal chimney cap is rust resistant, corrosion resistant and water resistant. As you would have already known, draft is the responsible for the working of the chimney. For those who are hearing the term for the first time, here is the short definition. Draft is the difference between the pressure of the gas in the chimney and outer gas which is directly proportional to the difference between the temperature of inner gas and outer gas. Proper draft is essential for the proper working of the chimney. Since chimney cap encloses the entire chimney, it plays crucial role in the maintaining the draft.

Role of chimney cap on airflow:
Technically, the chimney cap is the medium between the cold air and hot air. Hence, they should withstand the high temperature and pressure difference of the air inside the flue verses outside. An ideal draft is all about maximizing the inner hot air. Chimney cap has a crucial part in maintaining the temperature of the inner gas. In windy regions, wind will considerably cool the inner gas. Hence, it is essential to insulate the chimney cap by covering it with insulating materials. Design of the chimney cap may also help in insulation. Ideal insulation should ensure that the outer gas has no effect on the inner gas.

A proper chimney cap design will create low pressure outside the chimney. Hence, the pressure difference will be maximized and thereby draft is increased further. Another important role of the chimney cap is to increase the inner airflow. All exhaust gas, smokes should be expelled from the chimney and proper design chimney cap can help in increasing the inner airflow. For the above reason, most of the chimney caps are designed in such a way that the size of the chimney cap is larger than that of chimney flue.

How an ideal replacement of chimney cap can help us in increasing the airflow of the chimney?
Chimney cap needs to be crack free, rust free in order to increase the efficiency of your chimney. Even a small opening in your chimney cap could have a disastrous effect in the chimney. Hence, most of the professionals would always start their inspection with the chimney cap. Most of the people underestimate or do not know the role of chimney cap on airflow. A properly designed replacement of chimney cap could increase the considerable inner and outer airflow and thereby could increase the draft without much investment.
