Diplomat Chimney Fireplace Flue Heat Exchanger/Hot Air Exchanger, Exhaust Gas Cooler Black, XL Diameter 130 mm, 5 Pipes with Damper

Product Information

The main concern is the pipes hold together and are sealed so I'm not getting smoke blown in the room.

Or will carbon steels that aren't low-hydrogen (let alone the weld metal), regardless of the coating, have accelerated rot due to the high temperatures? Magic Heat Wood Stove Heat Reclaimer/Blower- Flue Heat Exchanger What is the purpose of a Wood Stove Heat Reclaimer -FlueHeat Exchanger? Set up the weld in a position that isn't excrutiatingly uncomfortable, so I can stay on it without straining or taking a break. Snow melting down through the pile in the winter is almost worse than a summer rain since it will affect the wood as you're burning it.The fire is controlled so the flue temperature is around 150°C and fresh air is drawn from outside, which should always be the case. Although, I suppose the weakest link in that might be my one gas saw, that is if we can't get wood delivered. 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.

To traverse a roof, just a top hat shaped foot to flash into the tilework is common, although sometimes people build nice brick chimney stacks for just the exposed bit. Just looking to find out if those exchanges for water are actually sold or you have to fabricate them because of some government regulations. Even with a short (and, in my humble opinion, somewhat dubious) flue such as you have, it would cause the flue -- or the boiler, should it get into it -- to corrode and fail remarkably quickly. It's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort".now with a class one brick built chimney you can get away with a 3 ft piece of standard m/steel rolled pipe to get the fumes into the chimney then let it do its job. Then I inserted the first pipe section, held it in place with a magnetic welding clamp and welded a series of tacks to secure it in place.

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. My bucket was tapered , so one end of the the unit has a 11-1/4" diameter and the other end is 10-1/2" diameter. If you make that out of aluminum, you're not going to have enough heat left in the flue to carry the water vapor away (212°F), let alone the creosote vapors (400°F).

Safety would of course be a concern if there was a power cut or failure of the pump, valve or thermostat. The first (obvious) lesson was that the steel for the tank and the tubes needs to be about the same thickness. A smaller unit could be built with 4" inlets, and used in place on the chimney stack of a gas burning hot water heater. The open area (gap between tanks plus 3" tubes) is about 88 square inches, versus the area of a 6" pipe which is about 28 square inches, so this should not obstruct flue gases significantly. They give me a way to monitor the intensity of the fire in the stove, as I can see fire shooting up the stove pipe and into the heat exchanger.
