Coventry NHS Student Accomodation

Coventry NHS Student Accommodation

The project: 

38f3d5c1-ea1d-40df-a426-acf15d12cd980162dbbf-b2c9-414d-9efc-6cea4b241bcd (2)Chimney & Canopy Systems were given the task of installing a common SW flue system serving 3 No. Adveco MD210 condensing boilers and a micro CHP flue at the NHS Student Accommodation in Coventry.

The challenge was the location of the terminals for the flue systems.  The original plan from the initial design group was to rise straight up requiring additional unsightly steel work and guy wires requiring ongoing maintenance.  We carried out a ‘Clean Air Act’ calculation and proposed extending the flue horizontally with a 3 degree incline a sufficient distance away from the building and openable windows to be compliant.  This was applauded by all concerned and implemented.

Each primary flue was complete with a drain length.  The header connections were installed via 135-degree tees and the header offset to a 93-degree base tee complete with drain cap rising vertically to roof level. The flue turned through 87 degrees running across the roof then terminated vertically.  The horizontal section was supported by Unitrust legs fixed to foam roof supports.
