Domestic Hot Water
The Domestic Hot Water/Flatplate Kit consists of a Water
to Water Heat Transfer unit and the fittings needed to hook
it up. The unit mounts on the wall
VERTICALLY
in your
utility room and is connected as shown below.
Entering the building with water lines can be done underground or over the sill plate. Once inside the building the typical hookup
would run first to the Domestic Hot Water Supply and next to an existing heating system such as a forced air furnace or a hot wa
-
ter heating system. Finally, before leaving the building, a fill valve must be installed near enough to a water supply for filling and
flushing the boiler in the WoodMaster furnace.
Existing Forced Air
A water to air heat exchanger is inserted in the existing plenum. In most cases
the heat exchanger is placed in a horizontal position, keeping all four sides level.
The air must be forced through the finned area of the heat exchanger evenly. The
hot water line coming from the hot-water tube enters the bottom fitting of the heat
exchanger and exits the top fitting, which returns to the furnace. If the plenum is
too large or too small, it must be altered to fit the heat exchanger properly.
NOTE: The WoodMaster Plus Water to Air Heat Exchanger must be installed
below any existing Off-Peak electric coils already in the plenum.
After the installation of the WoodMaster add-on water to air exchanger, the air
flow may need to be increased to fuel furnaces, electric furnaces, and electric/gas
furnaces. Methods of doing this are:
Belt Drive System
Blower pulleys and motor pulleys may be changed but the electric current flow
-
ing through the motor shall not exceed the nameplate rating. (A blower motor or
larger power may be used.)
Direct Drive System
The motor shall not be changed, however the speed of the motor may be in-
creased.
The heat exchanger works on the same princi-
pal as your car heater. Air blows through the
heat exchanger, taking the heat from the water
and blowing it into your existing duct work.
Hot Water Supply from WoodMaster Plus
(Always put supply in lower port.)
Cold Water Return to
WoodMaster Plus
Caution!!
All wiring must follow state and local codes and should be done by
