Crown Royal / 7400E Boiler Room Project Completed
« on: September 07, 2018, 04:13:50 PM »
attached are some pics of my finished project for the 7400E. I have the boiler running now, all systems check. Exhaust fan works great when needed. plenty of space for wood cages and plenty of lighting 
8 ft of Selkirk Insulated pipe with Raincap to get above roof.

« on: August 31, 2018, 03:50:15 PM »Do these stoves have a smoke bypass?
No, they have a "load switch" which activates the fan motor for 120 seconds. I hit the load switch, crack the door and it clears the smoke pretty quick. Not quite as convenient as the smoke bypass (I had a g200 last season), but, one less area to have issues with as well. My smoke bypass was the reason my first G200 had to be replaced within the first 90 days on operation. The metal where the hole is cut for the bypass was bent and the bypass would not make a tight seal, which results in little to no gasification. I actually talked to my dealer the other day and after many attempts to try and fix it over the next year, he is finally just sending it back to the plant as there is nothing he can do with it.

i can say from personal experience that Heatmaster has a good warranty and stands behind their stoves

Its a great idea, until it comes time to do plumbing!!!! haha I made it all work but its tight.
I almost put the entire boiler inside a building so I could just leave the back panel off and build a big 1-1/4 copper manifold and have PLENTY of room...lol, but, I made it work and didn't have to go that route
Is there a bigger model yet? I could see it being near impossible if you had four line sets to deal with.
No, the 7400E is their biggest model and comparable to the G400 in size.

Crown Royal / Test Fire 7400E
« on: August 20, 2018, 06:20:20 AM »
hey guys,
Did my first test fire in the 7400E this weekend just heating DHW in home and business. Unit tested well. Took 1 hr and 29min to get from 57 to 180 set point. After is shutdown it shot over to 194 degrees. Unit started gasifying after about 2 min from a cold start. the reaction chamber door is cool enough to hold your hand on while in full gasification.
The back pump area was very tight trying to fit 3 line sets and 3 pumps. I made it all work with still making enough to room to be able to open the back cleanout when necessary. I am going to use some foiled faced insulation board int eh back compartment to keep the fiberglass batts from being exposed (when that stuff gets wet, its ruined). one small leak and spraying water could ruin it.
The electrical hook up was pretty straight forward. The large industrial fan motor is very powerful yet surprisingly quiet.
I believe in the 7400E there is over 1,000lbs of cast refractory, the heat sink on the unit seems to be very nice. the bricks definitely hold a lot of heat. Obviously there isn't much a draw at the moment with only heating DHW.
So far I am pleased with the unit. It has been idling for 2 days and hardly fired, there is little to no creosote around the door frame and I haven't had a single drip come out of either door.
I will post pictures soon after my boiler room install is done and I will give everyone another update after we have some more time in with the unit.
Thanks!

« on: August 02, 2018, 08:40:33 PM »The guy I buy my firewood from is in the process of swapping a pair of 2015 model Central 6048s (both leak profusely already, with no warranty of course) for a single C800. He's a pretty handy dude so he may very well do it himself, but whether it's him or me doing the install I want to get over there and see that thing. Will get some pics if I can
THATS A HUGE STOVE!

The actual moving day video is almost done. I also posted an in-depth video of how to clean out the rear air channel in the conventional Heatmaster stoves.
LOOKS GREAT
