  • Page 45: The Top Down Fire

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 10.2.2 The top down fire The top down fire starting method solves two problems with the conventional method: first, it does not collapse and smother itself as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually because the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit.

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the furnace’s loading door while the wood is burning. This is an advantage because smoke could escape from the furnace when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. This is especially true if the chimney connector has 90 degree elbows and if the chimney runs up the outside wall of the house.

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 10.3.5.3 High output fires for cold weather When the heat demand is high during cold weather, you’ll need a fire that burns steadily and brightly. This is the time to use your biggest pieces of hardwood fuel if you have it. Put the biggest pieces at the back of the firebox and place the rest of the pieces compactly.

  • Page 50: Additional Fresh Air Supply

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual Reducing the combustion air will do two things. First, the combustion rate will decrease, which will spread the thermal energy of the fuel over a longer period of time. In addition, the velocity of the exhaust gas decreases, which allows better heat transfer in the heat exchanger and chimney.

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual For best results, use the same paint that was originally used on the furnace, which is available in spray cans. See your dealer for details. 11.1.6 Heat exchangers care Heat exchangers must be cleaned thoroughly at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air in basements is damper and with minimal air circulation within the furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the exchangers to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.

If you remove dirt from the central exchange to the back of the furnace, remove the black pipe connector in order to dispose of the dirt. 6.

  • Page 59: Chimney And Chimney Connector Maintenance

    HeatPack Furnace Installation and Operation Manual 11.2 Chimney and chimney connector maintenance 11.2.1 Why chimney cleaning is necessary Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney connector and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the furnace and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney.
