6.2 Mechanical Draft System for Wood-red
Fireplace with Multiple Flues
Application
This is used in the same situations as System 1, but
where multiple fans are required to handle the heat
load. It is a typical installation for large replaces
where a single ue cannot handle the amount of
exhaust gases generated.
*For one fan serving two ues please refer to section
6.1 as the wiring diagram is identical. A special
plenum box may be required.
Sequence of Operation
The sequence of operation is no different from
System 1, but make sure a single fan speed control
is simultaneously handling both fans.
1. Prepare the wood logs in the replace.
2. Turn the Fan Speed Control (FSC) on by turning
the knob clockwise. A “click” indicates the control
is turned on. Adjust the knob to the desired
speed.
3. Start the re by igniting the logs.
4. Once the re is fully burning, turn the
dial clockwise (to reduce the speed) until there is
spillage coming from the replace opening.
Hot, moist heat rising from the top of the replace
is an indication of spillage. From this point,
gradually increase the fan speed by turning the
dial counter-clockwise until no ue gases spill
from the replace. The dial can be left in this
position.
5. If logs are added to the re, it may be necessary
to increase the speed again.
6. When the re is dying, reduce the speed setting
further to remove remaining products of
combustion.
Please see important note on page 24.
