  1. Draft Control Damper

The Type RC is calibrated to allow for easy adjustment to the furnace or boiler manufacturer's specifications. Designed for settings from. 08″, this control is so sensitive that instrumentation should be used when adjusting the unit during installation.

Introduction

Boilers must maintain a proper flue draft for efficient combustion; too little draft can result in condensation, CO formation, flue gas spillage, and soot formation. Too much draft results in lost thermal energy from the boiler and higher electrical usage by the vent fan.

Gravity / barometric pressure systems must be over-sized in order to function in the worst conditions. This leads to wasted energy and higher installation costs. Fixed speed power vent systems also waste energy by not being able to adjust to actual conditions.

A new system with pressure and flow control switches and a variable speed fan match vent needs to conditions minimizing energy losses.

Draft

Operation

From the Exhausto web site:

The rudimentary mechanical draft assist is a single speed fan that delivers a pre-set volume of air and utilizes a barometric damper for relief should the mechanical draft become too strong. Their design makes them rather inefficient and limits their application to certain types of chimney designs.

Today’s constant pressure chimney automation systems have the ability to control, monitor and maintain pre-set draft requirements by varying the flow. By controlling the draft completely, we can reduce the need for combustion air and can apply the system to virtually any stack design.

EXHAUSTO’s Chimney Automation System (CASV) is for installation and use with multiple and/or modulating boilers and water heaters. It can be used in conjunction with almost any type of appliance and fuel, whether it is forced draft, atmospheric or condensing design.

The Chimney Automation System maintains a perfect, constant draft for the appliances by modulating the chimney fan capacity. The system is activated when there is a call for heat. It will create and maintain a pre-set draft prior to or immediately after the appliance fires.

The system monitors the draft condition at any time and has an integrated safety function. Should the draft fall more than 40% below the set point for more than 12 seconds, it will deactivate the appliances to prevent a potentially hazardous situation.

Advantages to using a chimney automation system are as follows:

  • Improved Aesthetics – A chimney automation system can improve the look of a building by hiding the stack. Tall stacks are no longer required allowing for terminations at the roof level.
  • Cost Savings – the overall cost of an installation can be reduced. The stack will not need to be as tall or the diameter as wide compared to conventional gravity venting. In many cases sidewall venting can be utilized as well.
  • Improved Safety – the risk of carbon monoxide spillage is eliminated with the use of a chimney automation system. In fact the Exhausto system includes a spillage-warning device as a standard feature.
  • Design Freedom – no longer are designers limited as to how the venting system is to be incorporated into their plan. The use of the automated chimney system ensures proper draft and because it is an engineered system it meets with code requirements for the gravity system.
  • Operational Savings – By controlling the draft across all operating conditions, boilers will operate at peak efficiency and provide a significant saving for the owner.

From Hays Cleveland

The following burner operating difficulties can result from uncontrolled draft:

  1. Pilot fails to light
  2. Unstable pilot – tendency to drift from scanner and cause nuisance shut-downs
  3. Pilot deflected from main fuel injection, delaying light-off and resulting in starting puff or possible explosion
  4. Lack of flame retention – causing momentary loss of flame-sensing signal and “flame failure” shut-down
  5. Abnormal flame pulsation’s setting up harmonic vibrations that create an unbearable noise nuisance and can cause damage to boiler and breaching
  6. Excess draft causing fan volume delivery to increase and excess air creates an envelope around flame, chilling ends and causing heavy sooting.

Air Conditioner Care

For optimal cooling and energy efficiency, the coolest you should set your air conditioner is to 25.5C (78° F).

    Selim was responsive, and quickly ordered the OEM replacement for our furnace for less than what we were quoted by a different company. He arrived on time and had the work done quickly. We will use his services in the future.

    My hot water tank stopped working on a Saturday. Selim was able to diagnose the problem over the phone and came to fix my tank same day. Friendly, honest person with knowledgeable advice. Highly recommended. I will stick with Draft Control for my service work from now on.

  • When our furnace stopped working late in the evening (9pm), we called Selim and within 10 minutes he was at our house. Within an hour, he had completed diagnostics and repairs and our furnace was working again. On top of that, he took the time to explain the entire process in layman's terms while he worked. Very friendly and helpful.

    Salim fixed my 30 year old AC effectively and economically. He attempted NO sales of a new unit which is usually the red flag of a sales guy in disguise as a repair expert. Excellent customer service.

    One day this past summer, my AC failed to turn on. A friend recommended to contact Draft HVAC, the next day Selim was at my house and 20 minutes later my AC was up and running. He explained the issue and seemed to be honest and up front regarding what needed to be done. I will use his services again in the future. Recommend!
