The company "Thermofor" began the production of modular chimney systems in 2012. Today, products have found their consumers and have become quite popular. Already at the first stages of development, the company used modern production lines that provided automatic cutting of the material. In the manufacturing process, welding and shaping techniques were used.
Man influenced manufacturing minimally. All elements were interconnected with maximum accuracy, each of them today meets the requirements of interchangeability. The “Thermofor” convector chimney undergoes one hundred percent quality control, which allows the manufacturer to give a long-term guarantee on the products. On each product you can find a branded bar code.
Reviews about the chimney "Rimbaud"
In the product line there are many chimney-convectors, each of which has its own diameter, wall thickness and nodes in the base. For example, if you have a Rambo thermophore in front of you with a diameter of 120 mm, then its weight is 4.8 kg, and heat-resistant steel will be the basis.
The overall dimensions of this product are 200 x 200 x 1000 mm. This convector chimney, reviews of which can help you make the right choice, is used to accelerate the heating of the room, which is provided by the selection of the heat of the flue gases leaving out. To protect infrared radiation, this equipment is ideally suited. Indeed, from the chimney emits powerful heat. This element is used most often with baths, but in some cases you can meet it in a design with heating furnaces.
This convector has an original design, because consumers quite often compare it with analog products. According to users, convective holes in the casing contribute to a more intensive passage of air flows. This convector chimney has a long service life, which, according to the owners of suburban real estate, is ensured by the fact that the product is based on highly alloyed corrosion - resistant steel, in which the chromium content is at least 13%. The outer casing has a thickness of 0.5 mm, while the thickness of the inner pipe is 1 mm.
Reviews about a pipe heater for adjacent rooms
The company also offers for sale a chimney-convector for adjacent rooms, which is a pipe heater. It is used for accelerated heating of neighboring rooms, which is provided by the selection of heat from flue gases. Consumers like that the mass of this device is not so great and is only 3.6 kg, the diameter of the chimney is standard and is 115 mm.
Buyers emphasize that accelerated heating of the adjacent room is guaranteed, because the design has convective holes. This system is ideally suited for Termofor furnaces, however, according to customers, this device can also be used with other similar products. This convector chimney will last a long time, because the manufacturer gives a guarantee for one year. This, according to users, indicates high quality. You can purchase these devices for 5000 rubles.
Making a DIY chimney convector
Gas chimneys of convector type have a fairly simple device and are a pipe of impressive diameter with pockets attached to it, which are made of pipes of a smaller diameter. If you know how to use a welding machine, then the work will be able to. At the first stage, it is necessary to take a pipe whose diameter corresponds to the outlet of the furnace. From it you need to cut a long chimney. On average, the length should be 55 cm.
If you decide to make a chimney-convector with your own hands, then at the next stage you need to take a 5 mm pipe, which is cut into six parts, the length of each segment should be 45 cm. Next, the master should weld the resulting workpieces to the main pipe so that the system forms a full circle . At this stage, we can assume that the convector is ready. Now it should be connected to the pipes.
Specialist advice
After you managed to make a chimney-convector for a bath with your own hands, it is recommended to paint it black for better heating. And if you want to achieve a more aesthetic appearance, then the design is closed by a lining of galvanized sheet or metal.
Making a stainless steel convector chimney
If you decide to use stainless steel during the work, then you should purchase a thick pipe from it and a sheet. Using rivets, you need to fix the sheet to the main pipe with large waves. On this we can assume that the convector is ready. The chimney-convector will only have to be connected to the chimney.
For the reason that it is quite simple to make such systems from stainless steel, many home masters stop at this option. The air that goes from the stove through a large pipe will heat the flows entering the pocket. Outside the mass will come out already hot.
Positive reviews about convector chimneys
The advantages of chimneys in the form of convectors are appreciated by many consumers. According to customers, they are quite easy to install, and during operation they are safe and also have a high efficiency. To carry out the installation, the chimney-convector will only need to be connected on one side to the furnace pipe, while the other element is attached to the outgoing external chimney.
If you want to increase the efficiency of the design, you can supplement the system with a vertical and horizontal convector chimney. Security, according to users, is ensured by the fact that all combustion products are displayed on the street through a chimney. A high efficiency is guaranteed, because the heating of the air in the room occurs quickly and with minimal energy consumption.
Conclusion
If you nevertheless decided to abandon the independent manufacture of a convector chimney, then on sale you can find a suitable solution, which is manufactured by Termofor. As an example, consider the chimney-convector-1, which costs 4000 rubles. It is made of heat-resistant steel.
This product is a pipe module, which is equipped with stainless steel pipes with round decorative overlays. There are two models of convectors in the serial production: chimney-convector-1 and chimney-convector-2, each of which is intended for one or two adjacent rooms with a heated room.
