Water is a byproduct of combustion. If the proper venting of flue gases is neglected — as is so often the case, unfortunately, in our industry — water in the form of condensation triggers serious ...

Q. We had a chimney cleaning service inspect our chimney and they suggested that we install an insulated flexible aluminum flue liner in our chimney connected directly to our gas water heater vent.

Recovering heat and water from flue gas can reduce water usage and boost power plant performance. The National Energy Technology Laboratory has tested a promising technology that condenses water and ...

When coals with high moisture content are burned in a utility boiler, several percent of the fuel heat input is used to evaporate fuel moisture. This results in a higher flow rate of coal compared to ...

This multiple-part article series will discuss the basics, codes and standards, and the science behind chimneys. It will show how back drafting affects chimney performance, while explaining the ...

In the flue gas scrubbing process, water evaporates from the scrubbing fluid as the flue gas is cooled to the adiabatic saturation temperature. Under equilibrium conditions, water must be added to the ...
