I'm an engineer how works in the natural gas field and i've faced a proplem with a pool boiler water heater this problem is that the chimney of the boiler would be more then 50 cm in length (the max distance to the nearest wall) wich will might cause the gas to be cooled and the possibility to return back to the boiler, i have to increasae that horizontal length, what should i do, should i provide a thermal insulation or what, please advice cause it is very important?, thank you very much.

You may be able to keep the proper draft by insulating the ductwork going to the chimney, thus minimizing the heat loss. Remember though, you will also add static pressure to your system with the additional ductwork and may need to change fan sizes to account for the addition. You can also add an induced draft fan to the ductwork to help take this additional load, but remember these are in a more severe duty with the heat and combustion by-products and usually require additional maintenance.

you can have a draft fan ,some thing which could suck the hot gas and deliver to the chimney
fan can be installed before the furnace( forced draft) or before chimney(induced draft).
