Calculate chimney system specifications with Kesa-aladin

Professional computer software such as kesa-aladin enables installers and engineering consultants to run different chimney possibilities and prove that a chimney system will meet with BS EN13384. See here for more information about using kesa-aladin to calculate to this standard. This process benefits from the convenience of having manufacturers' details available in a digital database alongside the calculation.

With kesa-aladin you can check compliance with:

• Pressure requirements. This ensures that the pressure in the chimney is sufficient to transfer the exhaust gases to the outside safely.
• Temperature requirements. This ensures that the chimney has long-term protection from damages caused by condensation, and that the outlet does not freeze if outside temperatures are very low.

There are four program options to suit all needs and budgets.
