Testing / Aspen 175 Failover & Freeze Protection
« on: December 18, 2010, 09:33:30 PM »
I read in one of these threads where a member had an Aspen 175 that was wired such the heating system would failover to the oil fired heater when the Aspen would go “cold”. They also had controls that prevented the Aspen from freezing by using heat from the oil fired heater. I am interested in doing the same with my Aspen.
Unfortunately I did not bookmark the thread or write the user’s name down to contact them. If any of you have your unit set up like this and is willing to share the setup information – wiring diagrams, parts list etc. I would appreciate hearing from you.
This is the biggest short coming on this unit – it doesn’t have a low temperature shutdown – so the blower motor runs for naught when the fuel supply is consumed. I have ruined three blower motors so far this year – over heated and then contaminated with creosote.
