This is not a functional problem but merely points out the emissions cert. Note, on modern EPA phase II woodstoves, the use of a barometric damper will typically void the emissions certification. I've used them for 25 years without a problem.
#Calibrated draft control type rc pdf#
However, when you go to the section for product literature, the pdf clearly addresses using a type RC control for wood. If you go on Field Controls website and look under 'Draft' then type RC barometric dampers, it seems to refer only to oil. They are removeable for sweeping and are used to reduce the flow-not draft. These cannot block the flue more than 80%. one of those links shows a typical stovepipe 'key' damper. John, burning wet wood is a creosote hazard-not having a baro. instroduces dilution air to the stack, which can reduce creosote formation. You need a manometer to set a baro., usually between -0.04to-0.06 inches of water column.Īside from leveling out the burn cycle for a more predictable burn, the baro. damper closes so more heat from the appliance will warm the chimney an re-establish a reasonable draft. Converesely, when the stack gases cool and begin to form creosote, the baro. It prevents the stove from running away causing an unsafe high draft condition. damper regulates the draft in the chimney. While not common with woodstoves, they are a good idea and even recommended by the National Comfort Institute's CO and Combustion cert. damper voids the warranty and listing, I would leave it in place but make sure it is adjusted properly.
