Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Understanding the Anatomy of Your Chimney
It is good that you understand the structure of your chimney, its parts and their functions. A good understanding of your chimney will help you when carrying out inspections or when cleaning; you will be able to trouble shoot whenever problems arise. Herein we will discuss some parts of the chimney and their functions so that you can have an idea of how your chimney actually works.

The chimney damper is that part of the fire place that is usually closed when not in use. The damper stops animals, rain water or debris from getting into your house. Before starting a fire it is advisable that you remove the damper so that smoke may not billow back into the house.

The smoke chamber compresses smoke from the fire place into the flue and prevents a back draft. It is created with a slopping wall to enhance exhaustion of combustion products efficiently.

The smoke shelf behind the damper is meant to catch rain water and debris from going into the chimney. It helps to transition smoke into the chimney flue; it also prevents downdrafts.

The chimney flue lining prevents the chimney masonry from getting into contact with flames from the fireplace. The chimney crown on the other hand is designed to prevent the masonry bricks from impairment. There is more to the chimneys than what meets your eye. Whereas average homeowner is just vaguely familiar with contents that will extend beyond hearth and chimney, the fireplace and chimney can consist of 22 parts. Knowing more about the parts and functions would be very useful in troubleshooting, maintenance and talking with fireplace or chimney expert about the service. Use following guide to know different parts of chimney, and get prepared for yearly chimney inspection!

Chimney Crown – The chimney crown protects chimney from any water damage coming through the small cracks. Without the right chimney crown- or if yours is cracked, then rain water seeps in the bricks & mortar of the chimney structure. Even little amounts of the water will result in the mortar deterioration, brick flaking, or unsightly salt deposits in the chimney. Without a good crown that is sealed, the chimney does not have protection. Eventually, bricks & mortar breakup enough that chimney is not structurally sound. You may read more about the chimney crowns here. This started by studying aerodynamics that is motion of the air when this interacts with the objects.

Flue – The flue is passage to convey the exhaust gases from appliance to outdoors. The flue might be duct, vent, pipe, and chimney. The unlined chimney is the flue, although unlined chimney is fire hazard.

Flue Lining – For safe flue, lining should be used to make sure very minimal accumulation of the flammable debris. The lining must be stainless steel and specially formulated tile.

Smoke Chamber –Purpose of smoke chamber is gently compressing byproducts of the combustion in smaller space (chimney) without even causing the back draft. Use of the sloping walls, in the conjunction with the good fireplace design & maintenance, helps to facilitate this.
