Any chimney fire has the potential to ignite your home and take lives. A chimney fire is extremely dangerous. A chimney fire extinguisher is no substitute for proper chimney maintenance.

There are many basic types of fuel injection, but we should start by saying what a fuel injector is - it's basically an atomizer, something that sprays a mist of gasoline into the air. This helps the gas to mix better with the air and stay in an even suspension, so that it burns more evenly and creates less pollution and more power. (Think of cooking spray vs. See similar questions...

The purpose of the chimney structure is to prevent the warm buoyant air inside the chimney from mixing with the surrounding cooler ambient air outside the chimney via entrainment. Without the chimney, the warm rising air from the solar collector would quickly mix with the ambient air which would rapidly reduce its buoyancy. The maximum efficiency of a solar chimney is proportional to its height; the taller the chimney, the more work can be captured by the turbine. See similar questions...

The Manzanares solar chimney was a prototype built in Spain in the early 1980's. The experimental chimney was financed by the German and Spanish governments and operated successfully for 7 years. The chimney had a diameter of 10 m and a height of 200 m. The base of the chimney was surrounded by a 200 m diameter greenhouse with an open outer rim. The transparent plastic roof of the greenhouse was 2 m above the ground. See similar questions...

You do require a flue for the removal of smoke and combustion gases. If you have an existing chimney this must be checked for soundness and must be swept. This could be carried out by an approved installer. If your chimney is in poor condition it can be lined with a flexible liner. If you do not have a chimney, a twin wall insulated stainless steel flue system can be installed. *All installations must comply with the latest See similar questions...

Your chimney must be swept at least twice a year by a qualified chimney sweep. Your local phone directory should list them- alternatively the approved list is available from HETAS or NACS. You cannot sweep your chimney through the chilli penguin stove, therefore provision must be made either with a access panel in your register plate or a connecting pipe with an access door. The latter can be purchased with your stove - see price list. See similar questions...
