THE HARDY OUTSIDE COAL BURNING HEATER
How does an outside heater heat my home?
The Hardy Outside Coal Burning Heater is designed to save the most energy and
provide the most comfortable heating available. It heats your home by heating a
stainless steel tank filled with water, which surrounds the firebox of the outside heater.
The heater is basically a non pressurized boiler with an atmospheric vent. This hot
water is then circulated through underground hot water pipes to a water coil inside your
existing central duct system. The Hardy heater can be connected to any existing
hydronic heating system that operates at 180 degrees or less.
How does THE HARDY heat water for household use?
A cold water supply line goes to the outside heater. This water line also keeps the
water tank of the heater full. The heater only takes on water as it evaporates. The cold
water line is connected to a heat exchanger which lies inside the water reservoir of the
outside heater. The pressure on the supply line forces water through the heat
exchanger when you open a hot water faucet inside your home. As this water passes
through the heat exchanger it picks up the heat from the hot water that surrounds it
and then goes to the cold side of your water heater. This means your water heater will
take on hot water. This water is not contaminated with the water that passes through
your heater and coil to heat your house.
How do the Thermostat Controls work?
The only visible addition to the heating system inside your home is the thermostat
which is located near the existing thermostat. The two thermostats are installed so that
if the outside heater is not in operation, your existing unit will automatically take over to
maintain the household temperature. The wall thermostat which regulates the heat
from the outside heater performs two functions; when it senses the need for heat, it
turns the water pump on to circulate the hot water through the coil and also turns the
blower on inside your central unit to force air across the hot coil. This forces hot air
into your central duct system. The outside heater has a hot water thermostat which
senses the water temperature of the unit. If the water is not as hot as the thermostat
setting then the combustion air intake is automatically opened and remains open until
such temperature is attained.
Where should an Outside Coal Burning Heater be located?
The outside unit should be located at least 10 feet from your home so that all fire
danger is removed from your home. The unit may be installed as much as 100 feet
away and still heat your house and hot water. If the unit is located more than 100 feet
away, you may experience some heat loss on the water going to your hot water heater.
Locate the outside coal heater where it will be convenient for refueling and fuel
storage. All water and power lines are installed underground between the house and
the outside heater.
