Test MHA-1610
February 17, 2016
Hardwood mix
Vertical stacking.
61.3 lbs including 1.3 lbs kindling
16.4% moisture.
Pisla HTT 602 door, 22" wide
Austrian eco firebox, see http://www.heatkit.com/research/lopez-2014-03-01.html
Firebox top modified to raise exit. See http://heatkit.com/research/MHA%20research%20heater%20mods%2002.htm
Testo problem at beginning of burn.
Gas graph.
Oxygen drop at 10 minutes indicates when Testo problem was fixed.
Stack temperature drop at 75 minutes indicates when air supply was cut approx 90%.
The very high stack temperatures compared to earlier runs, indicates that the air slots in the firebox have too much inlet area.
Test MHA-1611 will be a repeat of this one, with the air left wide open.
Then, for test MHA-1612 we will reduce firebox air slots.
