January 31, 2018

Heat exchanger reconfigured from downdrafting parallel channels
to a serial channel.

First run of "Substantially Similar" study with reconfigured heat-exchanger
Run #10 of "Substantially Similar" study
Red oak, log cabin stacking, top ignition
62.0 lbs including 2.0 lbs kindling
22.1% moisture. 2345 stacking.

Pisla HTT 602 door, 22" wide

Condar spreadsheet results, calculated at 90 minutes.

Testo Raw Data

Lab Notes

Flue gas graph to 90 minutes.
Note: CO curve is inaccurate due to failing sensor. Backup CO data has been used for calculations.
Compare graph with graphs MHA-1806 - MHA-1809, with the previous heat exchanger configuration.
