Heat Exchange Tubes
Location: The heat exchange tubes are located in the top of the firebox. The back
ends of the tubes are over the hot air plenum. The front of the tubes extend
through the front wall of the stove. There are 16 Heat Exchange tubes in
the Freestanding models and 9 Heat Exchange tubes in the York Insert.
Purpose: The heat exchange tubes transfer heat from the firebox into the room air
that is blown through the tubes.
Heat Exchange Tube Scraper
Location: Above the door, extending through the Hot Air opening. See Figure 21
and 22 on Pages 50 and 51.
Purpose: This rod when pulled back and forth cleans the heat exchange tubes of ash
buildup.
Heat Exchange Baffle
Location: The baffle is located below the Heat Exchange Tubes. The front of the
baffle has 2 tabs that slide into 2 keyhole slots to attach the baffle to the
top of the firebox area. The back edge is lifted up and slides over the back
wall of the stove. This prevents the baffle from falling out. See Figure 22
on Page 51.
Purpose: The baffle forces the Heated Exhaust gases towards the front of the stove
and flow along the full length of the heat exchange tubes. This increases
the heat exchange efficiency of the stove, by keeping the heated gases in
the stove longer.
Air Plenum – Hot Air Plenum
Location: The hot air plenum is located behind the firebox and is part of the Burn
system of the stove. See Figure 20 on Page 50.
Purpose: The hot air plenum carries the hot exhaust gases from the firebox to the
exhaust chamber. This plenum also houses the "Ash Whips". These
whips help remove fly ash from the exhaust gases and deposit them in the
Ash Traps.
Air Plenum – Warm Air Plenum
Location: The warm air plenum carries room air from the convection fan, past the
hot air plenum where it picks up heat. The room air is then delivered
through the heat tubes into the room. See Figure 21 on Page 50.
Purpose: The warm air plenum is located behind the hot air plenum and is part of
the Heat Exchange System.
