TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Wall and ceiling protection for heating appliances JO - Fire technology A1 - Loftus, Joseph J. A1 - Peacock, Richard D. SP - 213 EP - 229 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - An evaluation was made of the effects of radiant heat transfer from hot stove and chimney pipes to unprotected and protected room walls and ceilings. Pipe surface temperatures were 350 degrees C (662 degrees F) for normal operation, and 400?450 degrees C (752?842 degrees F) to simulate overfire conditions. Unprotected ceilings at 457 mm (18 in.) clearance met code recommended temperature rise limits for normal operation, but protection was needed for overfire exposures. Some protected walls allowed for clearance reductions to 76 mm (3 in.) for all exposures, while others needed at least 304 mm (12 in.) for normal and 457 mm (18 in.) for overfire exposures.
