Introducing the EBC5 fan speed control for fireplaces
EXHAUSTO, Inc, is introducing a new fan speed control, the EBC5 to be used with gas-fired heating appliances as well as gas fireplaces. When it is integrated with the EXHAUSTO Chimney Fan and a fan proving switch, the control monitors and creates proper draft in the chimney. While simplifying the operation of the fireplace and the fan, the control assures safe operation of the appliance.
The EBC5 control is used to set the speed of the chimney fan that creates the mechanical draft in the chimney system. It provides a proper and accurate draft at the outlet of the heating appliance and features an integrated safety function that prevents the heating appliance from operating in case of a mechanical or electrical failure.
The control constantly senses the draft in the chimney, and in case of inadequate draft, it will increase the fan speed gradually until the draft set-point is satisfied. If it reaches maximum capacity, and the draft set-point is still not satisfied, the appliance will be shut down.
The control also features pre-purge and post-purge functions. The pre-purge function ensures that draft in the chimney has been established before the heating appliance is turned on. The post-purge function operates the chimney fan up to 3 minutes after the appliance is shut down. This allows for evacuation of flue gas products still in the chimney.
