General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: solar and wood

Higgins,
This is a portable system which I use to power my OWF during power outages (saves running the generator).

I have mine turned off since Oct. 1st when my unit was fired up. Can not use all of the hot water it produces.

An other update on my BL28-40.
Plenum air temp when furnace fan is on 140F heating the house very easily.
Stack temp off cycle is around 200F, with the blower on cycle 615F.
We now have some -12 temps and the unit is working like a charm. Feed her around 4-5pm and just add a couple of good sized pieces in the am.
Have turned off the breaker for my hot water heater 4 weeks ago and can not us all of the hot water that the sidearm produces.
As for mods: added small arm to the over center latch to ease opening an closing (can be done with one hand), micro switch on the door to turn on the LED lights.

Stack temp at breach? Do you mean where it exits the unit at the 90?

The pump was extra, running Grundfos 26-99 3 speed. Lots of flow even on low. 5psi on low, 10psi on high.
As for smoke, off cycle as in the pic. During cycle, 1st smokes and than clears as fire gets up to regular burning. Temp is around 0C and unit is most of the time off cycle. Furnace fan only comes on 2-3 times per day. House is comfortable 22C just with convection flow from the furnace coil.

Some pics of my BL28-40.
Some tweaks added to the the unit: added electrical outlet, LED lighting for night time loading, extended chimney, rain cap.
Will be modifying the over-center door latch to ease opening & closing as it gets very hot.

Update on BL28-40. Unit arrived when the shipper stated (very heavy). Install went smooth with a few leaks as I had numerous connections (installed thermometers, pressure gauges & filter). Filled as per manual and circulated water to get through mixing of stabilizer. Fired her up this morning and within 15 min water was @ 80 degrees. Now 9 hours later and everything is working like clockwork. Sidearm is making lots of hot water and furnace coil heats the house much faster than the old Newmac wood furnace (a lot cleaner as wood is now outside). Plumbed the filter inline and have 1psi pressure drop, system pressure is 7psi with pump on low 10psi on high. Furnace coil incoming temp is 180 degrees and outgoing 160 degrees. Will post some pics later.
