The
Multi-Heat Stoker Boiler is delivered completely assembled.
The hopper is fastened to the boiler with bolts which can easily be removed
(if needed) to facilitate moving the boiler into place. |
The
Electronic Control Unit regulates the flow of fuel and
air for combustion and provides digital readings of boiler temperature,
return temperature, and smoke temperature. |
The
Heat Exchange Tubes, which feature turbulators (or retarders)
for maximum heat exchange efficiency can be seen behind the upper door.
The lower door reveals the Combustion Chamber through which ash is removed.
Both doors are heavily insulated and can be mounted on either side for easier
access. |
The
Gear Motor draws or turns the worm conveyor/auger to feed
fuel into the combustion chamber at the proper rate. |
The
Combustion Air Blower (seen when the cover plate between
the boiler and hopper is removed) ensures that the combustion chamber has
sufficient air. There is also a themostat valve for the sprinkler to prevent
burn back into the fuel hopper. At top there is easy access to the flue
chamber for cleaning. |
The
boiler can be installed with either closed or open expansion. This schematic
diagram illustrates Closed-Expansion Installation, in
which the separate hot water tank is connected prior to the shunt valve.
With correct adjustment, this makes it possible to heat domestic hot water
outside the regular heating season.

A
by-product of the forestry industry, Wood Pellets are made
from chips and sawdust which are pressed into pellets. As a rough approximation,
17.5 pounds of wood pellets provide the same amount of heat as a gallon
of heating oil.
|
Corn
can also be used as a fuel. In this case, approximately 20 pounds
of grain provide the same heat as a gallon of heating oil. Corn can form
clinker which must be removed from the combustion chamber as required.
In addition, the worm conveyor extension must be fitted for corn stoking. |
A
Draft Stabilizer is available as extra equipment in installations
where strong winds or a very high chimney can cause excessive or fluctuating
chimney draft. |
