POWER FAILURES – SYSTEM BACKUP
Over Heat Protection During a Power Failure:
The WinterGreen furnace is a wood fired appliance that still generates heat even if a power failure
should occur. To prevent a boil over situation with the transfer fluid, a provision must be made to dissi-
pate heat during the power outage. Failure to address this situation could result in fluid spillage and
damage to the furnace components.
During a power failure the furnace damper closes automatically and the fire becomes dormant. All sys-
tems and components that would normally provide “Thermal Spike Protection” require power and are
now rendered inoperative. The system now requires a means of dissipating residual heat; therefore a
way to resolve this situation needs to be included in the furnace installation.
Note: The WinterGreen Furnace requires the use of a Back-up Power System to provide safe op-
eration during a power outage. See the section: Battery Backup – Page 59
Power Outage Instructions:
1. Ensure furnace loading door and draft damper are tightly closed.
2. Ensure backup there is a backup power supply capable of sustaining the operation
of the circulation pump for several hours or operating generator is connected to the fur-
nace.
3. Check that the circulation pump is operating by feeling the pump for vibration. (Make
sure to wear heat protective gloves).
4. Do not load any additional wood into the furnace until the power is resumed.
