Version 2.0b 49 on/off switch at which time the system will revert to the off state. The prime state is utilized only for filling the auger with fuel and can only be utilized from an “off state.” The Manual Stir Control can only be operated during two states: (a ) when the system is shutdown, and (b) when the system is in the startup phase.
Version 2.0b 50 APPENDIX E: COMBUSTION BASICS An understanding of Combustion Basics will assist in resolving problems with a variety of fuels, changing product and environm ental conditions dur ing the operational life of a stove. Just exactly what are pellet or corn stove products suppose to do? PROVIDE A CONVE NIENT PLACE FOR STORAGE OF FUE L.
Version 2.0b 51 Combustion Temperature: T he temperature required to ensure the release of flammable vapors. To sustain combustion, the heat evolved must maintain this tem perature to provide a constant supply of vapors. Excess Air: Any air added to the combustion process above the theoretical value defined as 100% efficiency.
Version 2.0b 52 The obvious advantage of wood pelle ts over conventional chopped wood l ogs is the consistency of the fuel both from a size and moisture content. Thus , wood pellet s burn more efficiently than their log counterparts. The heat generated in the burn process, once combustion is achieved, sustains the process as more fuel is added.
Version 2.0b 53 As a final note, the four basic stages of wood burning are: a) Up to 212 o F the wood is boiling of the m oisture. b) Near 575 o F gasification of the solid wood fuel occurs.
