DAILY SHUTDOWN
1.
There are two factors influencing the shutdown of the evaporator; time and sap volume.
a.
It will require approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour from the last firing to bring the fire down to embers
(coals on the grates) in a wood fired arch.
b.
It will require a volume of sap from the last firing to embers and to flood the arch so ensure there is
adequate volume left prior to the last firing.
2.
Continue to monitor the arch as done for normal operations.
3.
When there is no more boil in either the flue or the syrup pans and the fire is down to coals on the grates (in a
wood fired arch), add sap until the pans are at a depth of 2”. This is done by holding the float down or by
adjusting the float handles and lowering it. If the sap remaining does not cover the pans to the 2” depth then
add clean, unsoftened, non-chlorinated well or spring water until the depth is reached.
NOTE: The extra sap depth is required as the insulation of the arch (ex. bricks) will hold heat and continue the
evaporation process until the heat has been dissipated.
MAINTENANCE
Daily
– prior to performing maintenance make sure the surfaces have been cooled.
1.
Remove spills and splashes from the pans by wiping with hot water.
2.
Clean out the ash chamber and the slots in the grates NOT the “V” grooves of the grates.
3.
Check all fittings for leakage. Repair / replace as necessary.
Periodic
1.
Using the supplied brush and rod, brush the underside of the flue pan to remove accumulated material.
Cleaning will allow the heat to better reach the sap in the pan.
2.
Inspect the rail gasket and pan gasket for areas where heat and smoke maybe escaping. Replace if necessary.
Beginning Of Season Startup
1.
Ensure all ashes or embers have been cleaned out.
2.
Open stack cover.
3.
Inspect bricks and mortar joints and repair as necessary.
4.
Inspect smoke stack for any holes or other issues and replace as necessary.
