Draft regulator for solid fuel boilers do it yourself

Independent work in any field - constant cost savings, getting pleasure from the process and often a satisfactory result. Installing and adjusting traction is not considered a time consuming task. However, it is worth considering some nuances and know the exact algorithm of actions. Do-it-yourself traction regulator for solid fuel boilers - this article will discuss this.

Basic Information - Design

Of course, you must first understand what we are dealing with and why the regulator itself is needed. First of all, it is considered important to ensure the flow of cold air masses. They must be oxygenated. To provide presence, a special valve is installed on the lower part. As for the principle of operability, it is the need for a drive. Moreover, it will guarantee the formation of an angle for opening the damper. Speaking about the combustion chamber, it is worth mentioning the temperature sensor. The last of them transmits a signal to the device to open or close the mechanism. However, if a fairly strong heating occurs, the flap is slightly covered, which leads to a decrease in the intensity of the combustion process. During normalization, the part is reopened and activity is fully resumed. Thus, fuel economy should be mentioned, since it only burns when it is really needed for the design.

ATTENTION! An individual regulator is selected for each boiler.

Regulators can be:

• Mechanical.
• Electronic.

DIY Traction Control Installation

So, what will be needed to do the job:

• Steel spring.
• A sheet whose thickness should be about 3-5 millimeters.
• Chain.
• Aluminum pipes in the amount of two pieces.
• Crane.

When all the necessary items are collected, you can proceed to the main course of work:

• To the wall of the unit you need to position two pipes as close as possible.

REFERENCE! Moreover, one of them should be placed with a crane and the first lever, and the second between the usual lever and the product with a spring.

• The next step is to connect the chain with the part, which is characterized by a damper.
• All possible fastenings must be cut with a grinder. It is made of steel sheet.
• As for the axis of the lever, this is the location between the fasteners and other parts.

Thanks to this algorithm of actions, the following move is ensured:

• Initially, the crane provides displacement of each tube.
• Due to this, the upper part is heated, after which the lever is rotated to the required angle.
• This pushes the second lever.
• Further, the component of the system lowers the chain, which contributes to the inclination of the damper.

Adjust the traction control

In general, using the instructions that came with the device, you can easily figure out the design settings. However, in case of its loss, a phased list of moves is provided:

1. First you need to light the boiler. Then open the door, but most importantly, do not attach a chain to it. This is necessary so that access is formed for the air masses.
2. Then loosen the screw, which fixes the position on the adjusting mechanism.
3. Then you can set a specific temperature by scrolling the handle.
4. When the value is reached, it is advisable to attach the actuator to the damper. It should be a little open.
5. Finally, fix the screw.

The main thing is to periodically monitor the thermometer and not rush to change settings. In addition, the chain distance is important - less than 1 millimeter. For some models, the device is characterized by a certain delay, since the coolant is unable to go out with lightning speed.
