ChimneyMaster continually adds to its large library of devices and chimneys by incorporating regional device and chimney models into its system. But, given the ever-growing variety of natural gas–based heaters and chimney manufacturers in the market, users also have the option to input their own data for boilers and combination-boiler chimneys to the program. ChimneyMaster users can easily add devices and chimney products to their databases in the design process.
For example, take the case of a user who wants to input information for a combination-boiler chimney. The user must first enter the manufacturer information for the combination boiler they are going to use, then provide the model of the boiler and the requisite data for that model, including chimney-outlet diameter and chimney shape. After this information is entered, this boiler can now be selected like other devices in the program and used in other combination-boiler chimney designs. The process for the chimney is much the same: the user enters the manufacturer and model information, as well as the material properties of the chimney and the product classification. These are then saved to the user’s database for use in other combination-boiler chimneydesigns.
