Free-standing chimneys - Part 1: General requirements

This European Standard deals with the general requirements and the basic performance criteria for the design and construction of all types of free standing chimneys including their liners. A chimney may also be considered as free standing, if it is guyed or laterally supported or if it stands on another structure.
Chimneys attached to buildings should be considered as free-standing chimneys in accordance with this European Standard when at least one of the following criteria is met:
- the distance between the lateral supports is more than 4 m;
- the free-standing height above the uppermost structural attachment is more than 3 m;
- the free-standing height above the uppermost structural attachment for chimneys with rectangular cross section is more than five times the smallest external dimension;
- the horizontal distance between the building and the outer surface of the chimney is more than 1 m.
Chimneys attached to free-standing masts are considered as free-standing chimneys.
The structural design of free-standing chimneys takes into account operational conditions and other actions to verify mechanical resistance and stability and safety in use. Detailed requirements relating to specialized designs are given in the standards for concrete chimneys, steel chimneys and liners.
NOTE   In other parts of the series EN 13084 rules will be given where chimney products in accordance with EN 1443
(and the relating product standards) may be used in free-standing chimneys.

Freistehende Schornsteine - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Die vorliegende Europäische Norm behandelt die allgemeinen Anforderungen und die Grundkriterien für Entwurf, Berechnung und Konstruktion aller Arten von freistehenden Schornsteinen, einschließlich deren Innenrohre. Ein Schornstein kann auch dann als freistehend betrachtet werden, wenn er abgespannt oder seitlich abgestützt ist oder auf einem anderen Bauwerk steht.
An einem Gebäude seitlich abgestützte Schornsteine sind im Sinne dieser Europäischen Norm als freistehende Schornsteine zu betrachten, wenn mindestens eines der folgenden Kriterien erfüllt ist:
-   der Abstand zwischen den seitlichen Abstützungen ist größer als 4 m;
-   die freistehende Höhe über der obersten statisch wirksamen Abstützung ist größer als 3 m;
-   die freistehende Höhe über der obersten statisch wirksamen Abstützung bei Schornsteinen mit einem rechtwinkligen Querschnitt beträgt mehr als das fünffache des kleinsten Außenmaßes;
-   der horizontale Abstand zwischen dem Gebäude und der Außenfläche des Schornsteines ist größer als 1 m.
An freistehenden Masten befestigte Schornsteine werden als freistehende Schornsteine betrachtet.
Die Bemessung von freistehenden Schornsteinen berücksichtigt die Betriebsbedingungen und sonstige Einwir¬kungen, um die mechanische Festigkeit, Standsicherheit und Nutzungssicherheit nachzuweisen. Detaillierte Anforderungen bezüglich der einzelnen Konstruktionsarten werden in den Normen für Beton¬schornsteine, Stahlschornsteine und Innenrohre gegeben.
ANMERKUNG   Regeln für die Verwendung von Schornsteinprodukten nach EN 1443 (und der damit verbundenen Produktnormen) in freistehenden Schornsteinen werden in anderen Teilen von EN 13084 angegeben.

Cheminées autoportantes - Partie 1 : Exigences générales

La présente Norme européenne traite des exigences générales et des critères de performances fondamentaux concernant la conception et la réalisation de tous les types de cheminées autoportantes y compris leur paroi intérieure. Il est permis de considérer une cheminée comme étant autoportante si elle est haubanée ou soutenue ou si elle repose sur une autre structure.
Les cheminées attachées aux bâtiments doivent être considérées comme cheminées autoportantes si au moins un des critères suivants est satisfait :
   la distance entre les supports latéraux est supérieure à 4 m ;
   la hauteur autoportante au-dessus du support constructif est supérieure à 3 m ;
   la hauteur autoportante au-dessus du support constructif des cheminées de section transversale rectangulaire est plus de cinq fois supérieure à la dimension extérieure la plus petite ;
   la distance horizontale entre le bâtiment et la surface extérieure de la cheminée est supérieure à 1 m.
Les cheminées attachées aux poteaux autoportants sont considérées comme cheminées autoportantes.
Le calcul des cheminées autoportantes prend en considération les conditions d’opération et d’autres effets pour vérifier la résistance mécanique, la stabilité et la sécurité d’utilisation. Les exigences détaillées concernant les types de construction particuliers sont données dans les normes pour cheminées en béton, cheminées en acier et parois intérieures.
NOTE   Les règles pour l’utilisation des produits de cheminées selon l’EN 1443 (et les normes de produit respectives) dans les cheminées autoportantes seront données dans les autres parties de la série EN 13084.

Where no such standards exist, other materials may be used if their properties are well defined and their suitability has been proven. This proof shall take account of the mechanical, thermal and chemical loads. For concrete and steel chimneys as well as for liners see EN 13084-2, EN 13084-4, EN 13084-5, EN 13084-6, EN 13084-7, EN 13084-8 and EN 1993-3-2. 4.2 Flue gas considerations 4.2.1 General Thermal and flow calculations shall be carried out to ensure that the flue gases will be conveyed from the combustion appliance to atmosphere taking into account the effects of the flue gases on the environment and the safety in use. However, the effect of the flue gases concerning the pollution with gaseous and particle components is not the subject matter of this standard. To carry out these calculations, design parameters as stated in 4.2.2 are required. These also apply to the assessment of chemical attack on those structural elements which are in contact with flue gases. 4.2.2 Design parameters The following design parameters shall take into account the various operating conditions during normal and defined abnormal operations: a) nature of chimney operation, whether continuous, intermittent or occasional; b) planned frequency of shut-downs for internal inspection and maintenance; c) composition of the flue gases and concentrations of chemicals in the flue gases deleterious for the chimney; d) concentration of dust and particularly of abrasive dust in the flue gas; e) mass flow of each flue gas stream; f) flue gas temperature at entry of each flue gas duct into chimney; g) range of maximum acid dew point temperatures of the flue gases; h) admissible or required pressure at entry of flue gas ducts into chimney;
i) altitude of the site and any special local topographic features (e.g. nearby hills, cliffs); j) maximum, average and minimum outside temperature; k) maximum, average and minimum atmospheric pressure;

A detailed calculation of . is given in Annex A. c For verification of the suitability of the materials as regards temperature a value . = 6 W/(m2⋅K) shall be taken.
4.2.4 Flow calculations Flow calculations shall include calculations of pressure conditions inside the flue gas carrying tube and of flow velocity. They have to take into account the density of the flue gases and of the ambient air as well as energy losses, such as directional losses, losses due to friction and due to the joints.
If flue gas can permeate through the liner, for example in a brickwork liner, no positive pressure is allowed during normal operation conditions.
NOTE The start up pressure is not a normal operating condition in accordance with this European Standard. The calculation should be carried out in accordance with Annex A. In the case of chimneys with a height of less than 20 m, the calculation may be carried out in accordance with EN 13384-1, provided that the conditions given in that standard apply. 4.2.5 Chemical attack Chemical attack of the structural elements in contact with flue gases can occur by condensation of different flue gases to acid, for example sulphuric or hydrochloric acid polluted by chlorides or fluorides. Depending on the nature and period of time of the attack the chemical effect is graded into:
1) low; 2) medium; 3) high; 4) very high.
The chemical attack of flue gases containing SO3 is graded according to Table 3 depending on the period during which the temperature of the liner wall falls below the acid dew point. Periods during which the installation is out of service are to be disregarded when determining the operating hours.



EN 13084-1:2007 (E) 12 Table 3 applies to flue gases containing 50 mg/m3 of SO3. In the case of other values of SO3 concentration, the operating hours given in Table 3 vary in inverse proportion to the SO3 content. If the SO3 content is not known, a 2 % conversion of SO2 into SO3 may be assumed unless other values can be proven.
For other flue gases, the level of chemical attack shall be determined by other methods. The temperature of the acid dew point of flue gases containing water vapour (H2O) and sulphur trioxide (SO3) can be taken from Figure 1.
Figure 1 — Temperature of the acid dew point, TADP, of flue gases containing water vapour (H2O) and sulphur trioxide (SO3) Table 3 — Chemical attack due to flue gases containing 50 mg/m3 of SO3 Operating hours per year a Liner face in contact with flue gas Parts of the chimney protected by the liner Degree of chemical attack TADP > 150 °C TADP ≤ 150 °C TADP > 150 °C TADP ≤ 150 °C Low < 10 < 30 < 50 < 150 Medium 10 to 50 30 to 150 50 to 250 150 to 750 High 50 to 1 000 150 to 3 000 250 to 5 000 750 to 15 000b Very high > 1 000 > 3 000 > 5 000 > 15 000b a

EN 13084-1:2007 (E) 13 The presence of chlorides or fluorides in the flue gas condensate can radically increase corrosion rates. Estimation of the corrosion rate in these circumstances depends upon a number of complex factors and would require the advice of a corrosion expert in each individual case.
In the absence of such advice,  the degree of chemical attack may be considered as "low", if the temperature of chimney components in contact with flue gas is below acid dew point for periods of less
