Free-standing chimneys - Part 6: Steel liners - Design and execution
This document deals with special requirements and performance criteria for the design of lining systems made of steel for free standing chimneys. It specifies the requirements for cylindrical steel liners as stated in EN 13084-1.
This document covers the design of the following three basic types of liners located in a load bearing structure:
a) base supported liner;
b) sectional liner;
c) top hung liner.
Additionally, this document applies to single wall chimneys regarding their contact with flue gases.
For simplicity, these various designs will generally be referred to herein as "liners".
The mechanical requirement is not part of this document; for information, see EN 1993-3.
NOTE Liners built from prefabricated metal chimneys in accordance with EN 1856-1:2009 and EN 1856-2:2009 are installed as base supported liners with additional supports and guides as defined in this document.
Freistehende Schornsteine - Teil 6: Innenrohre aus Stahl - Bemessung und Ausführung
Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit den besonderen Anforderungen und Ausführungskriterien für das Bemessen und Konstruieren von Innenrohrkonstruktionen aus Stahl bei freistehenden Schornsteinen. Es legt die Anforderungen an zylindrische Innenrohre aus Stahl, wie in EN 13084 1 angegeben, fest.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für das Bemessen und Konstruieren folgender drei Grundtypen von Innenrohren, die sich in einer tragenden Konstruktion befinden:
a) unten abgestütztes Innenrohr;
b) Etageninnenrohr;
c) hängendes Innenrohr.
Dieses Dokument ist zusätzlich anwendbar für einwandige Schornsteine, die mit den Abgasen in Berührung kommen.
Der Einfachheit halber werden verschiedene Bemessungen hier grundsätzlich als „Innenrohre“ bezeichnet.
Die mechanischen Anforderungen sind nicht Teil dieses Dokuments. Für Informationen siehe EN 1993 3.
ANMERKUNG Innenrohre aus vorgefertigten Metallschornsteinen nach EN 1856 1:2009 und EN 1856 2:2009 werden als unten abgestützte Innenrohre mit zusätzlichen Abstützungen und Führungen, wie in diesem Dokument definiert, eingebaut.
Cheminées autoportantes - Partie 6: Parois intérieures en acier - Conception et mise en oeuvre
Le présent document traite des exigences spécifiques et des critères de performance concernant la conception de systèmes de parois intérieures en acier destinés aux cheminées autoportantes. Il spécifie les exigences relatives aux parois intérieures cylindriques en acier données dans l’EN 13084-1.
Ce document couvre la conception des trois types de paroi de base qui se trouvent dans la structure porteuse :
a) paroi intérieure soutenue à la base ;
b) paroi intérieure en tronçons ;
c) paroi intérieure suspendue par le haut.
De plus, ce document s’applique aux cheminées à paroi simple en ce qui concerne leur contact avec les fumées.
Par souci de simplicité, ces différentes conceptions sont généralement désignées ci-après par le terme de « parois intérieures ».
Les exigences mécaniques ne font pas partie du présent document. Pour plus d’informations, voir l’EN 1993-3.
NOTE Les parois réalisées à partir de conduits métalliques préfabriqués conformément à l’EN 1856-1:2009 et l’EN 1856-2:2009 sont installées comme parois intérieures soutenues à la base avec des supports et guides supplémentaires tels que définis dans le présent document.
