Product Information

Then I re-inserted the union into the bucket, with the exchanger core removed, and folded all of the tabs over to hold the union in place. I was thinking of maybe going with copper due to the fact that you can easily bend it or use 90 degree fitting to change the angle though my fire can get hot (that said I tried to melt a copper penny when I was about 14 and it just got red hot) so my concern would be that the copper may melt, however if it's constantly having cool air blown through it so that may stop the copper reachkng a melting point?

Much less than that, and you'll need to clean your flue multiple times every winter, which can be a huge PITA when it's snowing and blowing. Before my sons Aga was in the house, it was in a narrow boat, he had two 12 volt pumps if one failed the other auto took over, unlike the house thermo syphon could not be used to ensure circulation.

I used tin snips to cut out the opening, trimming carefully to try and make to hole just large enough to allow the union to fit as tight as possible.

Ten heat exchanger tubes, within the unit, literally reclaim heat that otherwise would be lost out the chimney.Just looking to find out if those exchanges for water are actually sold or you have to fabricate them because of some government regulations. When that happens, you want positive pressure in the HE to prevent sucking smoke out of the fireplace and blowing smoke into the house. It seems he should use smokeless fuel, as to control the oven temperature you can't run Aga at the set rate required to stop particular emissions, so it should be run on charcoal or coke not wood, OK he may use wood, but all it takes is for one person to complain. Place the ammonia in a container in a well ventilated area and set the Magic Heat Reclaimer on top of it (covering the outlet) for one to two hours.

It's set at its minimum which I think is 65C, thinking the largest temperature difference between the flame and the water should transfer the most heat. We've never had an issue with it, but its better to do the work and make it good than to keep running on the "well its never been an issue.But as the others have said, unless you want your chimney to rain, knock off the MacGyver routine and invest in a new system. Never over-fire your appliance because it can damage your chimney and pose a fire risk, and don't operate the stove at too low a temperature as this can lead to excessive soot and creosote build up. The problem is that if the flue is too cold, a, it won't draw properly and b, tars and acids will condense in the flue and run down to rot out your cooker. I've been kicking around the idea of making an outdoor wood-fired boiler "smoke dragon" for a few years now. From the picture, after it turns 90 degrees (away from the camera), it just goes through the wall and ends.

Adding a condensing portion to a conventional boiler is frequently done on large commercial boilers. I have been pondering the idea of adding one of these HX's to my homemade boiler that I have been using for 3 years now.And since it's so thermally efficient, you wouldn't necessarily need to put it right in the fire; if you had a wood stove for example, you could figure out ways to rig it to the outside of the stove. i was going to fit one on those back boilers to my garden heater but it will boil the water unless there are sufficient radiators to heat soak! That would limit the amount of heat able to be stripped off and sent to the air blown through the heat exchanger. It is important to note that even the most efficient heating appliances let a large quantity of the heat escape up the chimney (flue) in the form of hot air, gases, and smoke. When I had it serviced, the guy used a gas analyser, it was sitting around 90% combustion efficiency.
