CA T AL YST MONITORING It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning properly and to determine when it need s to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will result in a loss of heating ef ficiency, and an increas e in creosote and em i ssions.
SECTION II MASONR Y INSER T INST ALLA TION INST ALLA TION PRECAUTIONS Extensive field and laboratory testing has shown that cat alytic stoves perform best as fireplace inserts when: 1.
MINIMUM CLEARANCES: The Model 20 Fireplace Insert is intended for installatio n in accordance with the standard for c himneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid-fuel b urning applianc es, NFPA-2 11 Code.

DEFINITIONS AIRTIGHT HEATER— In an airtight heater, all air enters in throug h the inlets. Generally, non -airtight stoves are not as efficient and thei r level of heat output is less controllable than that of an airtigh t. BURN CYCLE —Tim e span between refuelings i n which the woo d is reduced to a be d of hot coals.
POSSIBLE PROBLEMS Problems encountered with t he operation of catalytic-c ombust or equipped wood heaters are u sually the sam e as those exp erienced in the operation of tradition al wood heaters. Our experience has shown that ado ption of good operating practices will eliminate most of these problems.
Backpuffing- A hot combust or (above 1 400 o F) can som etimes act like a glow plug (spo ntaneous com bustion ignitor). Usually the w ood gas-to-air m ixture is eit her too lean or too rich t o form a highl y flammable m ixture. There are times when this mixture is just right within the fi rebox during t he normal bur ning process.
Problem 3. High Fuel C onsumpti on 4. Backpuffin g 5. Smoke Rollout When Heater Door I s Opened 6. Low Catalytic Temperature Possible Cause 1. Inexperience in catalytic operation 2. Improper regul ation of draft o r inlet air 3. Burning wet, unseasone d wood or pitchy spongy wood 4.
Problem 7. Creoso te Running From Draft Inlet Openings CHIMNEY-RELATED PROBLEMS 1. Creosote Accumulatio n 2. Tar and Liquid Creosote Leaking From Metal Flue Joints Possible Cause 6. Heater dampered down too muc h 7. Combustor not functio ning 1. Burn ing wet, pitchy woods 2.
Problem 3. Heavy Concentrati on of Smoke Leavin g Chimney 4. Rusted or Corroded Flue Part s 5. Odor-Bot h Inside and O utside The Home 6. Poor-Draft ing Chimney Possible Cause 1. Water vapor. (On co ld, still days water vapor may be mistaken for smoke.
Stack wood in criss-cross pattern under a shelter to allow air flow to dry the wood and t o keep wood from rain. Gree n wood may have 50-60% moisture content. Wood seasoned outside uncovere d may have 40 % moisture content. Woo d properly seasoned in a covere d environment will have less than 20% moisture content.
Problem 1. Pluggin g 2. Catalyst Peeling 3. Chemical Deactivation 4. Catalyst Masking—a catalyst with a layer of fly ash or soot which prev ents catalytic activity 5. Substrate Cracking-T hermal Possible Cause 1. Burning materials that produce a lot of char and fly ash 2.
Problem 6. Substrate Cracking— Mechanical 7. Substrate Crum bling 8. Color Variations Possible Cause 1. Mishandling or abuse 1. Extreme thermal shock 2. High draft 1. Variation in color from combustor t o combustor o r within a combustor can occur (new com bustors) Solution 1.
