Glossary
Cheminnov
Free-standing and self-supported steel industrial chimney adapted to every (situations and operation) conditions which main advantage is assembly speed: 1 hour
Double-wall insulated smoke flue
Duct consisting in two concentric cylindrical walls separated by a layer of insulating material.
Dynamic vibration damper
In collaboration with the CETIM BEIRENS SAS has developed this technique of eliminating problems due to vibrations and reduce loads on the structure. It offers economic benefits for the construction and civil engineering. It is very suitable for stacks located in seismic zones
Embedded anchor
Welded element embedded in a concrete base that can receive the stack base and can stand the various stresses induced by the weight and wind action.
Explosion relief valve
Valve that can instantaneously reduce overpressures caused by explosions in ducts.
Free-standing chimney
Chimney which base keeps the structure perfectly stable thanks to embedded anchors. Installed inside/outside building.
Guy-wired chimney
Stability provided through anchoring to the ground with recovery by guy wires.
Industrial chimney
Work allowing the discharge of gas combustion smokes (gas, heating oil, fuel oil, wood, coal, biogas or biomass) for district heating, industrial processes, power generation of thermal origin.
Lining
Lining consists in introducing a steel flue in an existing smoke flue. Lining is required in every case of ducts being too large, non gastight, cracked and showing risks of fire, condensation or bad draught (eg sizing).
Multi-flue chimney
Chimney comprising several flues liners incorporated into a structural shell.
Multigigogne chimney
Multi-flue chimney comprising decreasing size ducts (up to 5 ducts) inside each other, allowing a large space savings, financial savings, energy savings, reducing heat reflection and noise reverberations in compliance with legislation.
Self-supported / Tied chimney
Chimney on which wind stress can be absorbed by connection with a support enabling free expansion of this flue. Installed inside/outside building.
Single-wall smoke flue
Duct consisting in only one cylindrical wall
Supporting shell
Shell gathering and supporting one or several smoke flues
