For correct draft of the chimney flue and to solve the problem of smoke coming from the chimney, the use of a chimney puller or smoke extractor is necessary
How to solve smoke coming out of the chimney
Il road tow it is an essential element to best solve the problem of leakage smoke from the chimney.
Placed on the chimney cap, the chimney puller or smoke extractor is a device that allows the chimney to function correctly, eliminating the smell of smoke.
Thanks to aspirators it is possible optimize the draftguaranteeing perfect regulation of the suction speed.
By avoiding dispersing smoke, the risk of poisoning or fire is reduced.
Correct functioning of the flue: draft
The draft mechanism is based on rising hot combustion fumes towards the outside of the flue, having less pressure.
Going up, the smoke it cools and slows down its speed until it reaches the same outside temperature.
Very often, however, one could run the risk that, for a cooling too quickthe smoke remains trapped inside of the heated environment causing a variety of problems, including fires or carbon monoxide poisoning.
It is therefore necessary that the draft takes place in optimal conditions thanks to thermal insulation of the flue and the presence inside it of camera d’aria.
Environmental conditions should also not be underestimated, including external humidity, which can interfere with the escape of smoke.
It is precisely to overcome this problem that the chimney puller is used.
Chimney pull efficiency
The chimney puller, in addition to the forced draft which ensures effective smoke extraction even in situations of malfunction, It has low consumption.
Its activation or deactivation can be easily managed according to the user’s needs and is particularly advantageous in very windy situations.
Installing the device is simple and only requires being connected to the electrical control unitlocated near the fireplace hood.
There are different variants of electric fireplace pullers on the market, with prices that can be adapted to different needs.
Despite being a functional and refined piece of equipment, its cost is accessible, oscillating between 200 and 400 euros for basic models, up to 600 euro for the more complex ones.
However, the use of the smoke extractor should not make us forget the potential efficiency problems of the chimney.
The use of this mechanism could cause blockages which would compromise the correct evacuation of fumes.
Therefore, it is essential not to neglect care and maintenance of the whole chimney.
Advantages of the smoke extractor
The chimney puller offers several advantages appreciable:
- it’s a device very quiet;
- stands out for its simplicity of installation and assembly;
- during rainy days, prevents water from infiltrating in the fireplace, preserving its integrity;
- can also be used in summer months to favor the air exchangeimproving the quality of the internal environment;
- eliminates smoke odors and allows quick cleaning of the fireplace, helping to maintain a fresh and odor-free environment;
