An industrial chimney for wet stack operation is provided with an internal lining system attached to the inner surface of the chimney. The internal lining system comprises construction elements, that are arranged in a pattern, such that the joints between the construction elements in the pattern at the flue gas side of the internal lining system are inclined at an angle α of at least 5 degrees from horizontal.

A piping connection unit of a combustion apparatus supplying and discharging air through a duct includes an apparatus-side connecting part, a connecting part and a spacer. The apparatus-side connecting part is to be connected to an air supply part or an exhaust part of the combustion apparatus. The connecting part has a diameter larger than a diameter of the apparatus-side connecting part, and communicates with the apparatus-side connecting part to be connected to a duct to be inserted from an opening part. The spacer is detachably disposed in the connecting part. The spacer is disposed between an inner wall of the connecting part and the duct to be inserted when the duct has a pipe diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the connecting part. The spacer is removed from the connecting part when the duct has a pipe diameter equivalent to the inner diameter of the connecting part.

An adapter and adapter system for coupling a female end of a first chimney portion to a male end of a second chimney portion. The adapter includes a first radial adapter portion, wherein a first inner surface and a first outer surface of the first radial adapter portion are coaxial. The adapter further includes a first locking interface protruding outward from the first outer surface and configured to engage with a first locking interface of the first chimney portion. The adapter further includes a second radial adapter portion with a second inner surface and a second outer surface extending along the first axis and a second locking interface protruding inward from the second inner surface and configured to engage with a second interlocking interface of the second chimney.

An adapter and adapter system for connecting a female end of a first chimney portion to a male end of a second chimney portion. The adapter includes a first radial adapter portion with a first inner surface and a first outer surface extending along a first axis and wherein the first inner surface and the first outer surface are substantially coaxial. The adapter further includes a first locking interface protruding outward from the first outer surface and configured to engage with a first locking interface of the first chimney portion and a second locking interface protruding inward from the first inner surface and configured to engage with a second interlocking interface of the second chimney. The first outer surface of the adapter is configured to be received within the female end of the first chimney portion and the inner surface is configured to receive the male end of the second chimney.

A joint seal system and method may include a seal and a band. The seal may be positioned between abutting flanges of two adjacent duct sections. A band may be positioned over the two flanges and the flange interface. The joint seal system and method may be configured to mitigate and/or eliminate leakage of pressure, flue gases, condensate, and/or any other fluid, gas, and/or vapor between abutting flanges of duct sections at a flange interface.

The present invention fills a long-felt need for an improved phenol-furan resin composition with reduced combustibility, and for the preparation of pre-impregnated fiber-reinforced composite material and its use. The invention shows a higher tolerance for certain conditions that are damaging to other resin compositions including higher heat tolerance and higher tolerance for flue gases and other compounds.
