Hyfire II Install

Hot Rocks · Post by **Hot Rocks** » Sun. Jul. 11, 2010 9:36 am

Picked up new stove on saturday, I have some other projects going on right now so the install will be slow, I will keep you posted maybe some pictures, I know how much everyone likes pictures.My setup is 1420 sf unfinished basement,1420 sf 1st floor, 770 sf 2nd floor, 22 year old house, 2x4 walls r-19 insulation lots of windows, r-49 in ceiling. Stove will be in basement with heat jacket, 14 inch duct going into cold air return on furnace (heat pump). I am going to be able to control or close any of the cold air returns.That will be trial & error,example 2nd floor returns open, 1st floor returns closed, basement door open. Coal-trol t-stat will be on 1st floor 40 feet away from stove. Will have a fan limit switch to control furnace fan. The stove has a 21-t double loop coil , I will have 2 tanks 50 gal. each about 10 feet away they will be elevated, the system will thermosyphon,I will also use a 007 circulator on a wall switch running 24/7. I will be able to draw or return water to ether tank

Any suggestions on which fan limit switch ? I was looking at honeywell L4064B2236, 8 inch insertion, I have heat jacket with 14 inch duct. also how high above stove body should I put switch

Enjoy the heat!

Wow are you going to make some hot water with that thing. Especially if both burners are running.

Do you have a way to dump excess heat from the water. I have a single loop coil and a single burner and do occasionally pop the relief valve. I believe your setup is going to need it. Very nice job.

When I had my stove with a coil . I just used a 6' base board heater and a good quality mixing valve .When the water went above 150 -160 it would circ through the baseboard . Worked well , cannot remember the exact layout but it was somehow paralleled in .Dave

More pictures of install. I fired up both burners on 10/20, stove is just on low idle,turned min. down to 4 , draft is .04 ,front of stove is about 300 , I can put my hand on stack pipe. The hot water tempering tank is about 130 going in coil, 140 coming out.

Dwyer 460 air meter, I have a new in the box model 25 I will not be using. Dave at LL set me up with the 460 air meter, it works very good and needs no oil
