Worked Solution & Example Answer:A chimney is designed to accommodate a modern wood-burning stove, as shown in the accompanying sketch - Leaving Cert Construction Studies - Question 7 - 2013
Step 1
(a) Draw a vertical section through the ground floor, hearth and chimney.
Answer
- Begin by setting the drawing scale to 1:5 on your graph paper or drawing software.
- Sketch the ground floor layout, ensuring to depict the insulated concrete flooring with a 20 mm hardwood finish on top.
- Illustrate the modern wood-burning stove and label its dimensions: height 700 mm, width 550 mm, depth 450 mm.
- From the base of the stove, draw the flue that connects to the main flue liner, ensuring to mark the diameter as 150 mm.
- Indicate the chimney structure rising from where the flue connects, highlighting the vertical section from 400 mm below the finished floor to 300 mm above the flue.
- Include three typical dimensions on the drawing, clearly labeling them to denote the specific measurements included in your section view.
Step 2
(b) Indicate how the flue liners in the chimney are joined.
Answer
- On the same drawing, show the joint between the stove flue and the main flue liner.
- Illustrate a specialized flue adaptor that connects the stainless steel flue inside the clay main flue.
- Mark clearly that the arrangement allows for safe removal of smoke and flue gases, emphasizing that the connection must facilitate no leakage.
- Note that vermiculite filling may be included to enhance insulation and prevent heat loss at these joints.
