Trycornheat - corn and biomass furnaces and boilers

We've been a bit tardy in getting this done, folks... but here finally is the finished product:  a furnace photo tour.   I hope you enjoy a detailed look at the forced air furnaces.

This is the front of the furnace....  You can easily see the door for the burner chamber and the ash pan at the bottom, the blower on the left and the auger motor box on the right.   The location of the blower and fuel inlet can be reversed, we simply need to know the orientation at the time of order.  The silver UL certification sticker is at the top right, showing that it meets quality standards as a safe and consistent product.  And no, yours will not be on wheels - this one is setting on our delivery cart.   :)

     

The handle in the center of the picture just above he door when pulled will clean the heat exchanger.  A few quick pulls of this handle will scrape off any buildup on the heat exhanger tubes, thus increasing the efficency of the unit.  This is to be done monthly per LDJ, but in my experience its so easy you will do it more often.   I usually pull it a few times every time I am near the furnace. 

The inside of the door reveals a heavy duty rope seal, mounted inside a channel.  If you are looking at the competition, all of them will use the old design which uses not only a smaller seal, but is not mounted in a channel.  They rely on only the glue to hold them in place.... if the glue fails the seal moves which equals smoke leakage around the door.  Another LDJ Amaizeing Heat exclusive - built with quality.

These two pictures show the fire pot and burner chamber.   The left picture shows a heavy cast iron fire pot.  The photo on the right shows the area directly above the fire pot.... the flat plate is designed to keep the heat in the furnace so it can be collected by the heat exchanger tubes directly above it.  It is these tubes that are cleaned as the handle is pulled back and forth.   The seperator plate is also removable for cleaning if needed.   Also note that all of the metal you see in these pictures is 14 gauge boiler plate steel - thick metal designed to last! (except for the fire pot which is 60 pounds of high quality cast iron to withstand the heat)

This is the ash pan, which pulls completely out of the furnace for easy emptying.   I find that with the furnace properly set approximately 3/4 of a five gallon bucket of ash is produced from a standard 14 bushel hopper.
