Wood boiler damper control.

It s not the preferred damper method for wood stoves but it s convenient for those who don t know how a wood stove functions. Ideally an outdoor wood boiler maintains a temperature between 160 and 180 f controlled by both the fire and exhaust system. I was thinking of using a temp control with proportional output and a hvac proportional damper control. The indoor wood burning furnaces and wood burning boilers burn wood evenly and over a period of time which will save you in cost and amount of wood you need to stack up.

Depending on the model and type of wood used your system will need to be removed of ashes once a week or once a month. Barometric dampers are an automatic damper system that use weight to control the airflow being brought toward your heat source. Both off the shelf components. I think one of the main issues is the large number of variables amount of wood wood type dry wet hot stove cold stove etc etc.

Manual dampers are the preferred method. Once the furnace reaches 180 f the fan giving air to the fire turns off and closes the damper which in turn lessens the flames and temporarily prevents the wood from burning further. For the hotblast wood and coal furnace units. I have given some thought to making an electronic damper control.

This assembly comes with these parts included.
