MK KOLEKT multi
A modular chimney system MK KOLEKT multi is used not only with modern solid and liquid fuel boilers (temperature below 200oC), but also with modern heating systems. The three-layered chimney system is fully insulated with mineral wool and corresponds the highest requirements for chimney system elements. Ceramic elements are centered with centering rings. The air gap between ceramic flue liner and block wall is used for air supply to the heating device. Ceramic elements produced by the German manufacturer, in Germany, corresponds W3G requirements. Ceramic chimney system parts are resistant to soot ignition even when working at wet conditions, also resistant to low and high temperatures (60oC - 600oC). A ceramic liner has smooth surface and is highly resistant to condensate effect (resistant to aggressive corrosive factors). In the three-layered chimney system MK KOLEKT multi is used special shaped insulation. It is possible to order chimney liners with a mineral wool on it. Installation of the chimney system MK KOLEKT multi is simple, easy and fast process. Quality of MK KOLEKT multi system elements is also approved by issued CE certificate of conformity.
The chimney for a passive house
The chimney design used in a passive house differs from the standard chimney design. The standard ceramic chimney does not meet the requirements as for ventilation of the ceramic elements is used air from the room. The new generation systems, suitable for a passive house differs from the previous ones in a tightness - there is no need to ventilate ceramic elements and an air gap between centered ceramic elements and block walls is used to supply heating devices with an air. The ceramic element wall is thinner then standard chimney system walls. Chimney systems are resistant to the moisture, there is no a dew point. It determines the advantage of ceramic chimney systems against steel systems. Both types of chimney systems are suitable for an A++ class buildings, but it is important to pay attention to the tightness and the formation of a "cold bridge". When installing stainless steel chimney system to the passive house it must be taken to the attention, that it might have a problem of the "cold bridge". Standard heating devices, which takes air from the room, can't be used in a A class buildings. The buildings in this class require certified facilities, which have an external air connection for combustion and have a secondary combustion system.

MK KOLEKT multi construction advice
1 | ADVICE: junction of ceramic flue liner |
2 | ADVICE: chimney clearance |
3 | ADVICE: ceramic flue tee and cleanout |
- Before cutting holes in chimney blocks for tee, make sure that there will be left some gap between ceramic elements and walls of hole, so ceramic element has enough space to move when it gets hot.
- We may offer connection adapter which goes on top of connection tee, if You are using connection adapter which goes inside of connection tee, make sure that there will be not used heat-resistant rigid rope to fill air gap between connection tee and adapter walls. Heat-resistant rope must be soft when it's used connection adapter which goes inside connection tee.
MK KOLEKT multi installation guide
Before starting assembling chimney, You must decide: where would be cleanup doors, at which height tee must be installed. If ventilation channel is near chimney, predict ventilation channel height. Free-standing part of the chimney must be statically reinforced. This can be done by fitting the reinforcing bars. Reinforcing bars must be centered inside holes at the corners of blocks, mixed grouting mortar poured into the reinforcing channels.
- Build the chimney on a pre-prepared concrete foundation.
- Connect blocks using mortar.
- Place mortar on the walls of blocks (ventilation channels at the corners of blocks and mineral wool must not contact with mortar).
- Ceramic elements are connected with special acid-resistant glue. Before lubricating glue You must clean ceramic tube edges. Clean the end of the ceramic flue pipe with a sponge before lubricating glue.
- Connect condensation container to the drain.
If installation is done with a few days break, chimney must be protected from humidity.
