A fire-rated exhaust duct system comprising a modular configuration or structure. The fire-rated exhaust duct system comprises a plurality of exhaust duct sections. Each of the exhaust duct sections is configured to be joined or connected with other exhaust duct sections in the field or at an installation site, e.g. in building housing a kitchen facility or a laboratory facility to form longer sections or runs for exhaust duct system.

1. A modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly comprising: two or more exhaust duct modules;each of said exhaust duct modules having an inner duct liner and an outer casing, and a void being formed between at least a portion of space between said inner duct liner and said outer casing, said void being configured for receiving an insulation material, and including one or more thermal spacers configured to maintain said inner duct liner and said outer casing in a spaced relationship so that said insulation material occupies said void, said one or more thermal spacers thermally isolating said inner duct liner from said outer casing;a first exterior flange connector, said first exterior flange connector being joined directly to one end of said inner duct liner, and one end of each of said exhaust duct modules being configured for receiving said first exterior flange connector;a second exterior flange connector, said second exterior flange connector being joined directly to one end of said inner duct liner, and another end of each of said exhaust duct modules being configured for receiving said second exterior flange connector;said first and said second exterior flange connectors being configured to form a field assembly junction for coupling respective ends of said exhaust duct modules to form a single exhaust duct run; anda joint encasement section configured to be field connectable to each of said exhaust duct modules and encase said junction. 2. The modular fire-rate exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 1, said outer casing comprises one or more panels formed from a fire resistant non-metallic material. 3. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said exhaust duct modules have a generally rectangular cross-section. 4. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein said inner duct liner comprises a return flange configured to be affixed to said first and said second exterior flange connectors. 5. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said field assembly junction comprises a plurality of holes in each of said first and said exterior flanges, said plurality of holes being in alignment on said first and said exterior flanges, and being configured to receive a detachable fastener. 6. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner duct liner and said outer casing are formed from a metallic material, and each having a thickness to provide a specified fire rating. 7. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said joint encasement section comprises a plurality of joint encasement sections, each of said joint encasement sections comprising an outer layer and an inner layer, and said outer layer having a flange on each longitudinal edge for affixing said encasement section to respective ends of said adjacent exhaust duct modules. 8. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein said outer casing is formed from a metallic material having a thickness sufficient to provide a specified fire rating and said outer layer of said joint encasement section comprises the same metallic material. 9. The modular fire-rated exhaust duct assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein said joint encasement sections are configured to be field attachable to said respective surfaces of the said exhaust duct modules. 10. An exhaust duct module configured to be assembled in the field to form a fire-rated exhaust duct assembly, said exhaust duct module comprising: an inner duct liner formed with a generally rectangular cross-section;an outer casing formed with a generally rectangular cross-section and being sized to substantially surround said inner duct liner and a void being formed between at least a portion of space between said inner duct liner and said outer casing, said void being configured for receiving an insulation material, and further including one or more thermal spacers configured to maintain said inner duct liner and said outer casing in a spaced relationship so that said material occupies said void, said one or more thermal spacers thermally isolating said inner duct liner from said outer casing;a first exterior flange connector, said first exterior flange connector being joined directly to one end of said inner duct liner, and one end of said exhaust duct module being configured for receiving said first exterior flange connector;a second exterior flange connector, said second exterior flange connector being joined directly to one end of said inner duct liner, and another end of said exhaust duct module being configured for receiving said second exterior flange connector; andsaid first exterior flange connector and said second exterior flange connector being configured to be field attachable to couple another exhaust duct assembly. 11. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 10, further including a thermal insulation material substantially filling said void space between said inner duct liner and said outer casing. 12. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 11, wherein said inner duct liner and said outer casing are formed from a metallic material, and each having a thickness to provide a specified fire rating. 13. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 12, wherein said thermal insulation material comprises one of a batt insulation material and an insulation board. 14. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 11, wherein said outer casing comprises one or more panels formed from a fire resistant non-metallic material. 15. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 14, wherein said thermal insulation material comprises one of a batt insulation material, a blanket insulation and an insulation board. 16. An exhaust duct module configured to be assembled in the field to form a fire-rated exhaust duct assembly, said exhaust duct module comprising: an inner duct liner formed with a generally rectangular cross-section;an outer casing formed with a generally rectangular cross-section and being sized to substantially surround said inner duct liner and a void being formed between at least a portion of space between said inner duct liner and said outer casing, said void being configured for receiving a compressible insulation material, and further including one or more thermal spacers configured to maintain said inner duct liner and said outer casing in a spaced relationship so that said compressible insulation material occupies said void, said one or more thermal spacers thermally isolating said inner duct liner from said outer casing;a first exterior flange connector, said first exterior flange connector being joined directly to one end of said inner duct liner, and one end of said exhaust duct module being configured for receiving said first exterior flange connector;a second exterior flange connector, said second exterior flange connector being joined directly to another end of said inner duct liner, and another end of said exhaust duct module being configured for receiving said second exterior flange connector; andsaid first exterior flange connector and said second exterior flange connector being configured to be field attachable to couple another exhaust duct assembly. 17. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 16, wherein said outer casing comprises one or more panels formed from a fire resistant non-metallic material. 18. The exhaust duct module as claimed in claim 17, wherein said thermal insulation material comprises one of a batt insulation material, a blanket insulation material and an insulation board. 19.
