Ducts carry heated or cooled air. Under normal operation, they don't carry combustion byproducts and are sealed as a matter of energy efficiency, not combustion safety. Sheetmetal flue pipes, on th ...

This re-entrainment process, in turn, is dependent on flue gas velocity, surface roughness, and surface discontinuities such as duct/liner weld seams or FRP liner joints.

As if South Africans have not suffered enough with continued rolling blackouts implemented by failing power utility Eskom, a flue gas duct at one of its power stations is broken.

Severe damage to a flue gas duct on unit 1 of the Kusile Power Plant may leave the unit offline with no indication from Eskom on how long.

Durban - An investigation is underway to establish why a duct at the Kusile power station suffered a failure. Eskom spokesperson, Sikonathi Mantshantsha, said a section of the Kusile Unit 1 flue ...

Fireplace plugs (a.k.a. flue blockers, chimney pillows, draft stoppers and the trademarked Chimney Balloon) are an inexpensive way to choke off drafts when a fireplace is not in use.

Severe damage to a chimney at Kusile is the latest blow to the beleaguered power station. On Wednesday, Eskom said that the flue gas duct at Unit 1 of the Mpumalanga power station "failed" in two ...
