Chimneys "VOLCANO" - highly competitive equipment, on specialized forums you can find a huge number of positive reviews about it. And for those who are interested in purchasing and installing a structure, the information below may be useful.

Peculiarities

At the heart of these pipes is stainless steel of the highest quality, which has all the necessary characteristics of fire resistance and strength. But then, how durable the structure will be depends on the correct installation, sealing, and fastening. The length of the structure, the existing slopes, bends and turns are always taken into account. It is also important whether the system will be carried out inside or outside the house.

There is little to say about stainless steel itself - it is a modern material with a relatively low weight. It is considered a competitive material for bricks and ceramics, which were originally used for chimney systems. But a large mass of ceramic structures were not the most convenient, if only due to the difficulties of installation.

Moreover, there was a need for an additional foundation.

What distinguishes the chimneys of the VOLCANO plant:

  • comparative lightness of the design;
  • installation without the need to build a separate foundation;
  • no need for complete dismantling of the structure during repair or other corrective work;
  • modular-type structures are the simplest on the market when it comes to assembling and repairing the system (we can say that they are disassembled like a designer: quickly and easily);
  • installation work with a chimney from this manufacturer will be mastered even by a beginner, because the installation process is intuitive;
  • individual elements of the system, accessories can be transported, stored, without fear of violating the integrity of the system, not to assemble it later;
  • the design is such that condensate does not actually collect inside the pipes;
  • it is also very convenient that the chimney complex can be installed both at the stage of building a house or a bath, and after construction, in the process of repair, etc .;
  • buildings of a non-standard type with a large number of rooms are quite suitable for a chimney installation of this brand;
  • the structure is strong, durable, fireproof, frost-resistant - all these characteristics are extremely important for the chimney;
  • under the guarantee of the company "VOLCANO" will last 50 years, in fact, it must withstand a hundred.

A special point - the system has a special insulating layer consisting of basalt fiber, and it is produced at a Danish plant. This thermal insulation innovation makes it so that the formation of a large amount of condensation inside the system is simply excluded. The system itself heats up quickly and retains the accumulated thermal energy. The system also withstands the maximum heating temperature, therefore it is considered durable. Corrosion, rust - from these scourges, the manufacturer also, one might say, protected the structures with an excellent engineering sophistication of the system.

Even long-term exploited pipes do not deform, their original shape remains as long as possible. Finally, they do not emit toxic substances during their activity. This is a universal example of a device that blows smoke outside.

Yes, such an acquisition cannot be called cheap, but it is better to pay a lot, but for many years not to worry about the integrity and reliability of the smoke exhaust system.

The lineup

Another plus of such products is the ability to choose an option that suits a specific building.

Round section

Otherwise, they are called single-loop systems. It is a complete and efficient smoke extraction design. Single-wall pipes are an excellent option for sealing a ready-made brick pipe of any length of the chimney. They also sanitize an already operating chimney, and can be used in conjunction with the originally installed elements of the smoke evacuation complex. Single-circuit mechanical systems with a circular cross-section have everything that allows them to be of any length and configurational moments.

First-class stainless steel is used in the manufacture of chimneys. They are as tight as possible, geometrically accurate, and therefore a long service life is guaranteed - all elements of the smoke removal system are precisely joined.

A single-walled chimney with a round cross-section works with a boiler, stove, fireplace, power plant without attachment to the type of fuel. The system can be installed both inside and outside the building. She can sanitize working smoke channels, newly built smoke shafts. If you plan to plug a brick chimney with it, you must first examine and clean it.

Oval section

In the production of this complex "VOLCANO" was assisted by highly competent Western partners (Germany, Switzerland). It is a single-circuit design made of austenitic high-alloy stainless steel. Every detail, every element is created in Russia using innovative precision equipment. The raw materials used are carefully selected and controlled.

The area of ​​application of such chimneys is the removal of combustion elements from fireplaces, stoves, as well as boilers and diesel generators that run on liquid, solid and gaseous fuels. It can be both a household system and industrial products.

Flue gas performance data for oval systems:

  • nominal t - 750 degrees;
  • short-term temperature maximum - 1000 degrees;
  • pressure in the system - up to 1000 Pa;
  • the main system circuit is resistant to acids and aggressive environmental factors.

This system is also distinguished by a bell-shaped type of joint of the elements of the complex, which has a more powerful ridge, which increases the rigidity and gas tightness of the joints. The range of standard elements is wide, that is, any chimney can be configured configuratively.

And it is important that for all its low weight, the structure has the highest strength.

Insulated

And this is already a two-circuit system (double-walled sandwich chimneys) - a very popular method of flue gas removal, because the versatility is extremely high. It is suitable for boilers, and for baths, home stoves, and for diesel generators, and, of course, for fireplaces operating on different types of fuel in everyday life and industry.

The main circuit of such a system is not afraid of an aggressive environment, the equipment can withstand a nominal temperature of up to 750 degrees, and a short-term temperature maximum of 1000 degrees, the intra-system pressure can be up to 5000 Pa. Imported basalt wool is used for thermal insulation of sandwich chimneys. The thermal compensation system is such that it cancels deformation changes in linear parts during thermal expansion of the metal. The design is highly airtight and has reinforced strength. By the way, silicone rings can be used for the tightness of the system.

All elements of the system are produced on the most modern robotic line, that is, the danger of that very human factor, one might say, is excluded. Well, the very fact of the production of the system in Russia (albeit with imported components) somewhat reduces the price of a possible purchase. Yes, the system is not cheap, but a completely imported analogue with the same characteristics will definitely be more expensive.

For boilers

The coaxial system for boilers is a chimney, which is often referred to as a "pipe within a pipe". They are connected into a socket, it is made on a special expansion machine. This type of joint is a guarantor of gas tightness, vapor tightness, low aerodynamic resistance. Such a chimney will fully work both in the context of excess pressure and in the context of its low rate.

What kind of fuel resource the complex operates on is not important for coaxial equipment. The main thing during installation is to comply with all fire safety standards. We need such a system to divert smoke from air-fed heating boilers for combustion. The equipment can operate in both wet and dry modes. The system can be installed both inside and outside the building. And again, the equipment is distinguished by its low weight with extreme strength, an improved docking profile, the ability to choose different configurations (for example, with and without insulation).

Special heat-resistant silicone rings are used for the tightness of the structure.

For apartment buildings

This refers to the system of collective chimneys, modern and popular. The plant workers design and manufacture these units, and the demand for them is quite high. How many heat generators will join such a chimney depends on the calculation of a number of characteristics. The heating capacity of the complex, the climate in which the building is located, where the arrangement of smoke removal systems is carried out, are taken into account.

This version of VOLCANO products can be mounted in a mine inside a building, or outside along its facade. Complexes are single-walled, also double-walled, and also coaxial. The company's engineers carefully check the optimal diameter of the vertical wellbore (using aerodynamic calculations). That is, it is profitable, reliable, economical - taking into account the number of users - and rational.

Mounting

The technical documentation contains a detailed step-by-step instruction that helps to assemble a system of modular chimneys and single-wall pipes. It is good if workers will be engaged in the installation, but assembly with your own hands is not excluded - it's easy to figure it out.

Installation of the system on the outer wall of the building:

  • the distance from the house should not exceed 25 cm;
  • horizontal fragments should not be more than a meter;
  • fixing elements to the wall are installed every 2 m (this is important for resisting wind load);
  • the installation of the system starts with the installation of a support for the chimney, the rest of the pipes are fixed with special clamps;
  • the horizontal wall passage is made in accordance with the laying of the pipe in the walls of the ceiling.

The arrangement of floor penetration should be said separately. The passage of the chimney through the insulated ceiling of a wooden building (for example, with asbestos insulation) presupposes a gap of at least 25 cm.If there is no insulation, the gap will be 38 cm.

Optimally, it is difficult to find something more successful than the installation of a walk-through ceiling unit - for the structure of the ceiling cut, created in the factory, the maximum fire safety is characteristic. When leaving the floor, the floor itself in the "retreat" must be covered with ceramic tiles, bricks or any fireproof sheet. If the chimney passes through walls, then in the case of a wooden structure, a distance of at least a meter from the structural parts must be observed.

You can assemble the system only according to the instructions, checking each step, using everything that is included in the kit for the chimney.

Review overview

And this is also a very interesting point, because if not impartial, then it is highly informative.

What the owners of VOLCANO chimneys say / write:

  • the quality standards of the system are very high, they correspond not only to Russian, but also to European requirements;
  • the choice of basalt wool for the thermal insulation system is very successful, which favorably distinguishes VOLCANO from its competitors;
  • the weld seam present in the structure is based on TIG technology, which ensures the strength of the system and a very long service life;
  • the price corresponds to the proposed parameters of the system;
  • a large selection of chimneys - you can find any option for a specific request;
  • you can cope with the "black" work yourself, because the assembly is very clear, logical, there are no problems with unnecessary details;
  • the manufacturer has a website where information is presented in a user-friendly form;
  • I am glad that the elements of the equipment are made in the conditions of robotic production lines, that is, defects due to the human factor are almost excluded;
  • domestic manufacturer - for many users this is a fundamental point.

It is also very important that those shortcomings (small, but still), which were noted by the owners of VOLCANO chimneys earlier, were eliminated in subsequent versions of the equipment. You want to trust such a manufacturer.
