Chimney Cowls
One of the important elements of installations involving flue gas discharge are chimney cowls. They effectively increase the draft of chimney flues, improving combustion efficiency. This is crucial because proper chimney draft not only facilitates the combustion process but also prevents flue gases from backing up into the chimney, thus preventing the formation of harmful compounds like carbon monoxide.
Areas particularly vulnerable to improper chimney draft are regions with strong wind zones – Zone II and Zone III. In such areas, there is a legal requirement to install chimney cowls designed to secure chimney ventilation and prevent wind from forcing flue gases back into the building.
Chimney cowls are essential in situations where there is excess pressure in the chimney area. It is not always caused by weather conditions; sometimes it results from unfavorable chimney placement, such as a chimney that is too low or one adjacent to other chimneys that can disrupt its function.
Using a properly fitted chimney cowl effectively supports draft and restores the efficiency of the chimney system responsible for flue gas discharge. Our range includes high-quality self-adjusting rotating chimney cowls – which align with the direction of prevailing winds, ensuring proper chimney draft. We also offer rotating chimney cowls that perform exceptionally well in windy regions.
Our products include high-quality chimney cowls from renowned manufacturers like Turbomax, Turboflex, Rotoflex, and Rotomax. They are available in various sizes to match the chimney size. It's important to ensure that the cowl diameter is not smaller than the chimney diameter. Using a properly selected chimney cowl allows for correct chimney draft and protects the chimney ventilation system from backdraft.
