In the installation work related to the installation of the gas column, you need to pay a lot of attention to the removal of combustion products formed during the operation of such equipment. This is important not only for the safety of people who enjoy the heater, but also for the economical and efficient operation of the device.
Factors affecting the design of the exhaust system
Choosing an option for the removal of spent gases from the column, should be taken into account:
- The place where the column will stand.
- Model of the device.
- Required height of the chimney.
- The desired diameter of exhaust pipes.
- Power column.
- The climatic conditions in which the equipment will work.
Combining the exhaust system in a private house, it is important to remove the chimney above the roof more than 1 meter.
Types of exhaust pipes
At the present time, the exhaust system for the gas column can be mounted using:
- Corrugated pipes made of multilayer thin aluminum. Such pipes are flexible and can change their length.
- Steel pipes. So that they are protected from corrosion, such pipes are treated with heat-resistant enamel. When installing in a private house, this type of pipes should be insulated.
- Two-door pipes. They represent the design of the pipe in the pipe, while there is thermal insulation between the outer and the inner pipe (mineral wool). In such a pipe, condensate is not formed.
- Coaxial pipes. In their designs, the inner tube displays the spent gas from the column to the street, and between the walls of the external and inner tube, the air from the street is served to the burner. The columns with this type of exhaust system are called turbocharged, since the gases lead in them is carried out using a fan.

Installation of the exhaust system in a private house
Works should be started from the column, connecting its outlet nozzle to the opening of the ventilation channel in the wall. Next, the chimney is mounted on the outer wall of the building or inside the house. Plots of pipes are fixed using brackets. As soon as the vertical part of the chimney will be installed, the head board will be mounted and leave an audit window. In conclusion, check the thrust.

Possible problems with burning products
Evaluation of exhaust gases are associated with:
- Incorrect chimney.
- Poor-quality materials.
- Insufficient heat insulation design.
- Expressive compounds.

Additional setting up
Usually, a column with an open combustion chamber in an urban apartment is quite natural ventilation indoors, which provides the window in the room and not a scored ventilation mine. At the same time, many column owners think about the additional installation of the exhaust to increase the safety and increase the thrust. In fact, if there is sufficient, there is no need for such actions. On the contrary, setting an exhaust over the column can lead to such problems:
- With an insufficient air flow into a room (for example, if the window is closed), the exhaust will take the air from the ventilation shaft of the bathroom, which will lead to the appearance in the kitchen of an unpleasant odor.
- If the ventilation channel is alone and the room already has an extractor over the stove, an additional setting will create a feedback that is dangerous to the health of residents.
