Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does replacing a Chimney Cap improve airflow in your chimney?
The first line of defense to be used for your chimney is the chimney cap. The most important task of the cap is to shield the chimney from animals, rain, and debris and prevent it from clogging up. The chimney cap protects the parts of the chimney system such as the crown and the flue. A chimney cap is manufactured of copper and stainless steel or both. That is why they are more durable. The ideal chimney cap is resistant to rust, corrosion, and water. As has been mentioned earlier, a chimney depends on correct draft to work properly. If you are not aware of draft, here is a short introduction. Draft is referred to as the difference between the temperatures of gases inside and outside the chimney. Correct draft is necessary for the chimney to work properly. And a chimney cap covers the whole chimney, so it is necessary to maintain correct draft in the chimney.

Role of chimney cap on airflow:
In technical terms, a chimney cap is the conduit between hot and cold air. Thus, it should be able to tolerate high temperatures and pressure differences between the inside and the outside of a chimney flue. The ideal draft is associated with increasing the quantity of hot air inside the chimney. A chimney cap has an important role in controlling the temperature of the gas inside the chimney. In windy areas, the gas inside the chimney will be cooled down significantly.

If the design of the chimney cap is correct, a low pressure area will be created on the outside of the chimney. Thus, the pressure difference will be increased and consequently, draft will also be greatly increased. Another major function of a chimney cap is the raising of the airflow inside the chimney. A good chimney removes all smoke and exhaust gas from the chimney and raises the volume of airflow inside the chimney. Most chimney caps are made such that the size of the chimney cap is greater than that of the chimney flue.

How an ideal replacement of chimney cap can help us in increasing the airflow of the chimney?
Chimney caps should not have cracks and should not get rusted easily in order to maximize the efficiency of the chimney. A tiny opening in a chimney cap can also damage a chimney. Thus, most professionals begin their evaluation of a chimney from the chimney cap and the airflow. If a chimney cap is correctly designed, the airflow inside and outside the chimney is high and thus, draft is greatly increased without putting in a lot of investment.
