I dont have alot of money in this boiler i had alot of the materials already probably around 1500$ i spent on pumps and some materials. I built another one for my buddy last year that holds 350 gallons and has secondary gasification very efficient i had 3500$ in that boiler. Ive burnt roughly 2 cords since December. Thansk
Ive built 5 boilers just kinda change things as i go to make more efficient, ideas just come from research i have done and trying different things.
Thank you! Yes i love the green i do have a F20 also , the truck is a 65 diamond T.
Hi there ! So the boiler does have two blowers the one up on the stack creates vacuum on firebox i use it when i start the fire it pulls all smoke out once im done loading and fire is going good i shut it off and the 220cfm vortex blower takes over as forced draft and i have it on low. I have a timer that i use to power the aquastat and i just use the aquastat to kick blower off once temp has been reached then timer runs out and kills power to the aquastat and shuts blower down until im ready to do another burn. Hope that help explain. Thanks
Yes smokeless after about 5-10 min once temp get up in firebox. I have checked temps coming out of burn chamber into the multipass and with my probe it only reads to 1000 degrees and it tops that out.
Do you measure flue temps? I would assume your multipass chamber has to be at least 1,200F, if not much higher, and if your flue temps are below 300f your efficiency would have to be pretty good.
Yes i have probe in my stack its runs around 400-450. My multipass is two 4x10” by 6’ long . I have alot of circulation in my tank everything is crossflowed . It usually take about a hour and 45min to raise 600gal 65 degrees , i do batch burns i run down to 120 and off at 185.
