Chimney Calculator

The Excel™ spreadsheet offers a means of determining the required height of a chimney when provided with the mass flow of flue gas, its temperature, the number of 90° bends, the horizontal length, and the internal diameter of the flue. By adjusting the various parameters the calculations can be quickly made for a number of boilers and flue sizes. This system is specifically designed to suit the KÖB Viessmann ranges of biomass boilers.
The intention is to produce this program as a Java Desk-top application together with the D1 calculation which is often required at the same time. They will be provided as separate programs later in the year.
