Free-standing chimneys - Part 4: Brick liners - Design and execution

This European Standard specifies special requirements and performance criteria for the design and construction of lining systems made of brickwork for free-standing industrial chimneys. Current European practice favours sectional liners and the statements of the standard are mainly devoted to such solutions but are also largely applicable to base supported independent and stayed liners. The differences in the design and construction of the two last types are covered by Annex A. This European Standard identifies requirements to ensure mechanical resistance and stability of liners in accordance with the general requirements given in EN 13084-1.
Lining systems comprise some or all of the following:
chimney liner including duct entry;
insulation;
liner support;
space between liner and concrete windshield.
Gas flow calculations to determine liner sizes are covered by EN 13084-1.

Freistehende Schornsteine - Teil 4: Innenrohre aus Mauerwerk - Entwurf, Bemessung und Ausführung

Diese Europäische Norm behandelt die besonderen Anforderungen und die Leistungskriterien für Entwurf, Bemessung und Ausführung von Innenrohrkonstruktionen aus Mauerwerk für freistehende Industrieschornsteine. In der gängigen europäischen Praxis werden aus einzelnen Abschnitten bestehende Innenrohre (Etagen-Innenrohre) bevorzugt, und die Festlegungen der Norm beziehen sich hauptsächlich auf diese Lösungen, gelten aber auch weitestgehend für unten abgestützte freistehende und horizontal abgestützte Innenrohre. Diese Europäische Norm beschreibt die Anforderungen an die mechanische Festigkeit und Stabilität von Innenrohren entsprechend den allgemeinen Anforderungen nach EN 13084-1.
Innenrohrkonstruktionen bestehen vollständig oder teilweise aus folgenden Teilen:
-   Schornsteininnenrohr einschließlich Abgaskanal-Einführung;
-   Wärmedämmung;
-   Innenrohrabstützung;
-   Raum zwischen Innenrohr und Beton-Tragrohr.
Strömungstechnische Berechnungen zur Bestimmung der Innenrohrmaße sind in EN 13084-1 angegeben.

Cheminées indépendantes - Partie 4: Parois intérieurs en terre cuite - Planification et exécution

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et criteres de performance particuliers applicables a la conception et a la construction des systemes de conduit intérieur en briques de terre cuite pour les cheminées industrielles autoportantes. La pratique courante en Europe favorise les conduits en sections ; les exigences de la présente norme concernent principalement ces solutions, mais elles sont aussi largement applicables aux conduits portés par la base indépendants et étayés. La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences permettant de garantir la résistance mécanique et la stabilité des conduits intérieurs, conformément aux exigences générales données dans l'EN 13084-1.
Les systemes de conduit intérieur sont constitués de tout ou partie des éléments suivants :
-   le conduit intérieur de cheminée avec une arrivée de gaine ;
-   l'isolation ;
-   le support du conduit intérieur ;
-   l'espace entre le conduit intérieur et le brise-vent en béton.
Les calculs de débit de gaz visant a déterminer la taille des conduits intérieurs sont expliqués dans l'EN 13084-1.

4.1 General
The choice of material will depend upon the service required.
4.2 Brickwork
4.2.1 General
The type of brickwork used is largely determined by the resistance to chemical attack of the bricks and
mortars. In addition, when thermal shocks are expected, brick types will be selected on the basis of their
resistance to spalling and other mechanical damage caused by the same.
Brickwork covered by this document consists of brick types in accordance with
EN 13084-5:2005, 5.1 and mortar types in accordance with EN 13084-5:2005, 5.2

4.2.2 Thermal effects
According to the requirements as specified in EN 13084-1:2000, 5.2.3.4 the temperature effect on brickwork
shall be considered particularly with regard to:
 limit temperature of the various components;
 thermal gradients through the brickwork components in steady and transient conditions;
 uniform temperature;
 expansion;
 thermal shock.
Calculations based on the maximum temperature of flue gas and the maximum expected ambient temperature
shall show that all the materials are operating below their allowable temperatures.
Thermal gradients, if not limited, could cause cracks in liners especially in those made of bricks type BT1, BT2
and BT3.
Thermal shock can cause spalling and cracks on bricks type BT1, BT2 and BT3. It normally causes only
shallow cracks but the thermal gradient may cause these to grow.
4.2.3 Classification and chemical attack
4.2.3.1 General
Depending on the degree of chemical attack given in EN 13084-1:2000, Table 3 the following brickwork
classes may be used for the construction of chimney liners:
 brickwork class A: resistant to "very high chemical attack";
 brickwork class B: resistant to "high chemical attack";
 brickwork class C: resistant to "medium chemical attack";
 brickwork class D: resistant to "low chemical attack";
 brickwork class E: not subject to "chemical attack".
Mortar type MT3 based on Portland cement may be used only for brickwork classes D and E.
NOTE For all brickwork classes in the presence of alkalis with temperatures above 680 °C, bricks with a low true
porosity (10 % maximum) are recommended.
4.2.3.2 Brickwork class A: resistant to "very high chemical attack"
This will normally consist of:
 bricks type BT1;
 mortar type MT1 (in the case of very high chemical attack due only to acids: mortar type MT2).
If abnormal temperature deviations are expected the limit in service temperature of mortars type MT1 shall be
taken into account.
Brickwork class A using mortar type MT1 can also withstand alkaline condensates.

SIST EN 13084-4:2005
EN 13084-4:2005 (E)
4.2.3.3 Brickwork class B: resistant to "high chemical attack"
This will normally consist of:
 bricks type BT2;
 mortar type MT2.
The use of mortar type MT2 allows its use up to 1000 °C; if thermal shocks are expected the resistance to
thermal cycling of the bricks will be a factor of major importance.
Brickwork class B is not resistant to alkaline condensates.
4.2.3.4 Brickwork class C: resistant to "medium chemical attack"
This will normally consist of:
 bricks type BT3;
 mortar type MT2.
The use of mortar type MT2 allows its use up to 1000 °C; if thermal shocks are expected the resistance to
thermal cycling of the bricks will be a factor of major importance.
Brickwork class C is not resistant to alkaline condensates.
4.2.3.5 Brickwork class D: resistant to "low chemical attack"
This will normally consist of:
 bricks type BT4;
 mortar type MT3.
4.2.3.6 Brickwork class E: not subjected to chemical attack
This will normally consist of:
 bricks type BT4 or BT5;
 mortar type MT3.
Brickwork class E may be used in liners that are always operating safely above the dew point.
Bricks type B5 may only be used provided that mechanical actions such as erosion or abrasion are not
expected.
4.3 Insulation
Insulation may be used to reduce the thermal gradient in the liner as well as in the windshield and to reduce
the heat loss of the flue gases.
The following types of insulating materials are widely available for the purpose:
 insulating bricks;
 mineral wool blankets;
10

EN 13084-4:2005 (E)
 cellular glass blocks;
 vermiculite/perlite preformed blocks;
 calcium silicate blocks;
 glass wool blankets;
 ceramic fibre lancets.
Stability of insulation shall be ensured even in the case of vibrations due to possible pulsation of flue gas
pressure.
5 General design requirements
5.1 General
A gas tight floor shall be provided no more than 1,0 m from the bottom of the lowest duct entry.
Adequate means shall be provided to drain acid condensate to a safe location.
5.2 Minimum wall thickness

5.3 Liner supports
Brick liner supports shall be designed with adequate rigidity to avoid imposing unacceptable non-uniform
support reactions on the liner. In addition, in the case of multiflue chimneys, the deformation of the supporting
platforms shall be such that the required clearance between the top of the liner and the upper platform is
respected. Supports comprising segmental beams, supported by discrete corbels projecting from the
windshield, shall be provided with torsional continuity by in-situ reinforced concrete joints or other means.

5.4 Openings
In order to limit the effects of differential temperatures around the circumference of the liner, openings
introducing gases at different temperatures should be so arranged that a good mixing of the separate gas
streams is ensured. They should be positioned at elevations as near to each other as possible in order to
increase mixing between gas streams and reduce temperature differences which can otherwise cause
additional stresses in the brickwork.
5.5 Ventilation
Brick liners are normally used when flue gas pressure is lower than the ambient pressure outside the
brickwork at the same elevation. Positive pressure excursions of limited duration are permitted, but these
should be taken into account in assessing the chemical load.
If the gas flow calculations show that significant operating periods are expected with flue gas pressure higher
than the pressure in the space between liner and windshield, pressurisation of the space – by the use of fans
– and the provision of compensators are required.
Where access is required into the space between liner and windshield during operation of a liner, ventilation
shall be sufficient to ensure that no flue gas leaks through the liner. The ventilation system shall comply with
the requirements of EN 13084-1:2000, 4.5.
Air ventilation can also be used to cool and avoid
