What is a flue gas damper?

Smoke shock absorber is a device used to control the air flow through the flue, pipes that open hot air and gases from a wooden stove, boiler or similar equipment. It is important to confirm that the smoke damper is in operating condition before starting the device to which it is connected, and the silencer may also need to be modified before use. In addition to the shock absorbers, there are many devices that are used to control air intake. They regulate the burning rate by adjusting the amount of air that can flow, and also maintain insects, rain and elements outside the inner part of the device by blocking smoke. If the shock absorber is not open, the exhaust gases can accumulate and push into the room. In addition to filling the room with smoke, this may be a health risk because Combustion's by -products is not healthy. There may be a situation in the airtight stove where gases accumulate in the stove, and when the stove opens, they can literally explode the stove door, which is extremely undesirable.

To have an open shock absorber of the smoke damper, when it is fire, it allows a lot of oxygen to move with the stove. Once the fire is introduced, the shock absorber can be adjusted to slow the combustion speed, as it can be done when the fire is dampened for the night. Depending on the design of the device, the holes can also be adjusted. When no fire is illuminated, the fluecles should be closed to prevent the elements, but it is important to remember that it will reopen them back before the fire is illuminated.

Sometimes the floss of the flue gas duct is freezing, especially if the stove is not used for a long time. It is necessary to use lubricants to release. It is also important to realize that while many shock absorbers are adjustable from the outside, sometimes the controls of the shock absorber are inside the stove, which means that the floss of the flue must be modified before the fire, otherwise it will be too hot to move. People should also be careful when handling the handJet of shock absorbers, because thanks to hot air, very hot and gases rushing around smoke.
