FORCED-AIR V (FIVE) WOOD PELLET CORN FURNACE
MULTI-FUEL burns both Wood Pellets and Corn
up to 150,000 BTU/Hr
Standalone Hopper Bin 750 lbs. or 14 bushels
Cast Iron Heat Exchanger Chamber
Multi-fuel and will burn Wood Pellets and Corn
The FORCED-AIR V (FIVE) is up to 150,000 BTU/Hr. is one of the few large PELLETFURNACES now on the market. It is150,000 BTU/Hr., Multi-fuel Furnace, 750 lb. Hopper Bin stand alone capacity 14 bushels. It is multi-fuel and will run on wood pellets, corn, or a 50/50 mix of the two. Th 6-inch Flue Exhaust Pipe runs out the back, and with a right-angle turn it will naturally rise or draft vertically. The Flue Exhaust can be routed horizontally with an optional power-vent motor purchased (see below). It runs 24 hours on a thermostat, run on a pilot burn when not calling for heat. It will heat up to 5000 to 6500 square feet, but it can be re-programmed to heat down to around 2500 Sq. Ft. or 75,000 BTU/Hr. The Forced-Air Room Air Blower operates at a variable control speed at 1050, 1250, and 1450 CFM. The heat Exchanger is 14 gauge stainless steel. The fire pot is a 2-inch wall thick cylinder 1 (one) foot in diameter (see picture). It is multi-fuel and will burn either wood pellets or corn. To burn wood pellets, it has an air-bypass tube (pipe) that feeds air into both the combustion chamber and hopper bin, thus equalizing the pressure between the two, and preventing burn-back. A small combustion blower is used to feed air into the combustion chamber, the auger feed pipe, and the hopper feed pipe (hopper bin).
Fuel is fed into the burner chamber and residual ash rises and is spilled over the side of the burner into the large ash pan, so the chamber is cleaned throughout the combustion process. This stand-alone system will also operate your air conditioni9ng unit. Your home's thermostat will electronically control the fuel feed system and blower to ensure a consistently comfortable room temperature.
Cost is $6,750 (marked down from $7,000) with a $450 delivery (marked down from $500). OPTIONS are a Rear Wall Fresh Air Kit $95, (recommended); Flue Exhaust K 6" $465 vertical, 10" Extension $250, Take-off at top for Forced-air ductwork $250 for either hot-air or cold-air each 14-inch square; Horizontal Power Vent Motor (optional) $950, $65 delivery. The Hopper Feed Pipe runs at an angle from the bottom of the hopper bin to the furnace, thus helping to prevent burn-back. The by-pass tube comes installed and equalizes pressure thus preventing burn-back. The furnace has a 5 Year Warranty.
I has a 14 cubic foot hopper bin, 1/2 HP Convection Room-Air Blower with three adjustable speeds 1050, 1250, and 1450 CFM. The top hot-air discharge plenum opening at the top front is 14inches square, and the cold-air return plenum located top rear also 14" square. The buyer or sheet metal fabricator can fabricate sheet metal take-off the connect either hot-air of cold air ductwork. Physical dimensions of the Furnace are 29" wide x 41" long x 53" high; Hopper Bin dimensions are 35" wide x 52" long x 48" high. NOTE: you must designate which side the Hopper Bin will sit either right or lefthand feed facing the machine. Furnace weight is 650 lbs., Hopper Bin weight is 75 lbs. For ease of operation the following minimum distances are recommended but not mandatory: Top distance to the ceiling 32" or greater, Front 30" from the front of furnace, 6" on either side, and 18" from the back of the furnace to the wall.
You will need the supplied Barometric Pressure Gage between the furnace and the Fuel Exhaust Pip to regulate the chimney draft or power vent draft between .02-.04 inches of water column draft on low fire, to assure proper operation. Low fire mode is when the thermostat is satisfied with heat, and the fuel is not being feed (angled) into the burner. When the chimney draft is too high, burner fire may go out. If the chimney draft is too low, smoke may backup in the furnace and storage bin, causing a potential hazard.
If your basement or garage is air-tight, it will not allow enough air to be sucked into the furnace, thus creating a partial room-air vacuum, and the furnace will not run right, and be starved for fresh combustion air. In this case you will need to install a Rear-Wall Fresh Air Kit and if not included, then we sell them for $95.

WARRANTY
There is a 5 YEAR WARRANTY on the heat exchanger, combustion chamber, fire box, door, etc., and 1 YEAR WARRANTY on electronics. Re-sale by individuals or un-authorized dealers can not offer a valid warranty. Be careful from whom you buy. We are a Dealer specializing in corn stoves and can help you through your installation as well as and trouble shooting if necessary. Be careful as others do not have the capability to do that.
FLOOR LOCATION DUCT LAYOUT & FLUE EXHAUST LAYOUT
There are two alternative layouts: (1) Short Hot-Air duct runs, long Flue Exhaust Pipe runs, and (2) Long Hot-Air Duct runs and short Flue Exhaust Pipe runs. We recommend (1) short Hot-Air Duct runs and long Flue Exhaust Pipe runs. The reason is long Hot-Air Duct runs loose heat and horse power (air speed) result in a colder house and/or more fuel cost to heat the house. Longer Flue Exhaust runs may need a Draft Inducer or a Power Vent Motor. Flue Exhaust pipe should be Type L, PL, VP Rated.
BACK-DRAFT DAMPER SUGGESTIONS
If you have two furnaces operating at the same time, both the Forced Air V (FIVE) and the old furnace will need a Back-draft Dampers installed on each furnace near the duct take-off on each furnace. You need this to prevent reverse air flow when one furnace is running and the other one isn't. (Heated how air can reverse back flow through the furnace not running.) We sell Aluminum drop leaves that are light weight, open and close easily, and save on horse power. Beware some contractors make damper leaves made out of galvanized steel, heavier in weight, and the flaps move harder, robbing your furnace of horse power. Buy the back-draft damper from us and you will get the right thing. If you are having a difficulty making a back-draft damper, then call us.
