Shaver Furnace / End of season

« on: April 12, 2012, 08:35:38 PM »

I have the 165,  with hot water, and heat exchanger in air duct.

 What I'm wondering is what does everyone do to shut down for the warm seasons.

 Clean out all ashes, re-do seals on doors, drain WHAT??? thanks I really enjoyed my low heat bills last winter and want to do all maintenance to make it last.

Shaver Furnace / Pump not running now

« on: September 07, 2011, 06:17:00 AM »

Well just as I thought,   I went out to look over the furnace this morning and noticed the circulating pump was not running.   I thought it was getting too hot to touch.  It is a taco 0011, which was recommended by salesman.  My setup is stove a couple feet lower than basement floor, pipe under ground 20" then up a wall 8' over 8' and back down 2 1/2- 3' to exchanger.   I have a 90 out of stove, the pump,!" plex connector strait , 75 ' of 1" pex to a valve, and a 90 degree connector,  exchanger16 x 18", 90degree shark bite 90, valve, return pec pipe, back to valve at boiler. 

Could I have just got a bad pump, or wrong pump, or flawed design that I mentioned above.?

Electronics / Connecting to air handler to control flow pump

« on: September 04, 2011, 02:19:08 PM »

Ok, here's the deal,   I went to hook my shaver stove circulating pump off of the air handler central unit blower fan, to make the pump at the stove come on when the blower  kicks on.  BUT my central unit has no neutral connection going to it, so with my pump 120v one leg to neut. ant the other to a blower lead off the relay I always have 120v, my guess is that since one side of the blower is going to a constant hot and the other is off the relay, I'm getting 120 feed thru the motor from the constant side. question is this.  What is the best way to get my 120v for the pump at the furnace.  I need a way to provide a trigger.   Could I get a 220 relay put it across the 220 fan leads and use a different  120v source thru that relay.  I think I just answered my own question.

Shaver Furnace / Question

« on: September 03, 2011, 09:20:11 PM »

Now that I have my exchanger plumbed I have a question.

  My exchanger is at about 6 1/2' off the basement floor and the furnace is about a foot or so lower than the basement floor.

 Question will the water STAY in the exchange when the circ pump shuts off, or will it seek level and drain back to the tank water level?

If it seeks tank level it may change the tank level,  will I have to run my pump continuously, or just try and see.

Shaver Furnace / My 165 is in route...

« on: August 30, 2011, 06:12:22 PM »

Well my 165 should be here by 10:00 in the morning, I have my fingers crossed that this one was NOT built on a Friday.

QUICK QUESTIONS

1.  Since my heat exchanger is going to be above  (2' ) above the ac a-coil will there be any chance of exchanger freeze during a/c season?

2.  What is everyone using as rust inhibitor treatment how well does it work , does it meet the warranty requirement? What water tests are require ect....

3.  Is there anything that I should know about pump placement, valve placement ect....
