Air Exchanger

A heat exchanger (heat exchanger) is a water to water heat exchanger used in outdoor wood furnaces.

With the emphasis now on energy conservation and optimum efficiency, new home construction can create a problem when it comes to indoor air pollution. Many factors, including vapor barriers, thermal windows, weather-stripping and caulk, have reduced or stopped fresh air from infiltrating and replacing stale air. Entering and exiting the house through doors isn't always enough to cause adequate air changes. Cooking, aerosol sprays, cleaning agents, paints, and in some cases excess humidity if the house is sealed too tightly, can create an undesirable environment. Keeping windows or doors open, while keeping the air somewhat fresh, does not conserve energy. A device known as an air-to-air exchanger is used to recover heating or cooling and improve air quality.

There are quite a variety of different designs of air exchangers, depending on the manufacturer, but the principle behind them is the same. Fresh air is drawn in from a port open to the outside of the building, and passed through a chamber, also know as the exchanger, which is surrounded by indoor air. Highly conductive metal or other materials removes the energy (heat) from the warmer air and gives it to the cooler air. The fresh air is then ducted into the house, and the indoor air is ducted to a port and expelled outside. Up to 80% of the energy can be exchanged. During the energy exchange, moisture (humidity) can condense into water. A drain pan inside the cabinet will allow the water to be collected for removal. If the unit is installed in the basement, a condensate pump might be used to eject the water outside.

Why are heat exchangers and outdoor wood furnaces important to you?

What if it was possible to heat your home, give you all the hot water you need for baths, showers, laundry and more, heat your pool, spa, and anything else you wanted to keep warm with a truly efficient and renewable resource? What if it were possible to help the environment while you were heating your home? What if you could do all this for FREE?

It almost sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But it's not, because there is a resource that fits all of these specifications. It's right in your backyard or down the road. What is it? It's wood.

Now you may be saying, "But that's old-fashioned and inefficient. Hey, and it's a lot of work. And it's dirty too!"

It's simply not the case. Wood heating has come of age. The modern exterior wood furnace takes advantage of the latest developments in the available technology. Once set up outside your home, and using water and heat exchangers, our furnace burns cleanly and efficiently. In most cases it can be connected to your existing system to distribute the heat.

As all your fuel is kept outside, you won't have the mess associated with indoor stoves. The unit will burn all sizes and types of wood, too.even those unsplittable knotty pieces. And the best part is you only have to feed it once or twice a day - even in the coldest weather. Load it up in the morning and evening, and the unit will do the rest. Water heated to 185 to 200 degrees surrounds the firebox, then it courses through tubing to your home where heat exchangers convert it to hot air which is dispersed by your existing system.

Coal, gas and oil are fossil-based, non-renewable resources. And in the last year, costs for these commodities have soared. Electricity prices are also climbing.

The environmental impact of these fuels is also a significant factor that must, today, be considered. The methods used to extract fossil fuels are damaging to the environment. Home systems, unless they are constantly and professionally maintained, are not efficient burners. Electricity is often produced by coal-fueled plants or by hydroelectric dams that affect our fragile ecosystems.

There is no other source of warming your home that gives you all the advantages of a timber-fueled system. It's environmentally friendly... it's cost-effective... and it's efficient. And with a little extra work, you can get all this for free. This is an energy source that grows virtually everywhere. Property is constantly being cleared and the leavings are perfect for your use. Haul it home and you and your family are warm all winter for the cost of a tank of gas.

Our our company, we take pride in bringing you the latest innovations in this technology, along with full service parts and accessories. We have years of experience and can advise you on choosing the right equipment for your home.
