Chimneys are structures designed to convey exhaust gases from heating devices to the
outside of buildings. The materials from which they are made have a great impact on their …

In this study, an extensive set of experiments has been performed to investigate how the
emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) from wood pellet …

A large number of fires have been caused by metal chimney penetrations in recent years.
One factor that has contributed to these occurrences is smouldering combustion within …

The number of roof fires due to the passage of chimneys is high. Since the experimental
procedure necessary to identify all the variables affecting the temperature reached by roof in …

To prevent overheating and consequent fires, European regulations prescribe thermal tests
to determine the distance between chimney and combustible materials. Traditional …

The paper shows how the Design of the Experiments can be used to determine
mathematical relations to estimate the maximum temperature reached by flammable …

European standards regulate the certification procedure for determining chimney class
temperature and the distance at which to install chimneys from combustible materials. These …

In recent years, numerous roof fires have occurred due to the presence of a chimney, and
also certified chimneys were involved. Chimneys installers and chimney producers are …

Data on temperature-time curves measured at chimney-roof penetration are reported here.
The tests were performed in different configurations in order to reproduce all the possible …

Fires in residential buildings originating in flue ducts pose a significant problem in Europe,
especially in countries where heating systems rely on devices fired with solid fuel. The high …
