Seth and Brent from Wood Mizer came out this afternoon to take care of the Biomizer issues.
First step was to disconect everything from the boiler so we could lift it up. That took all of 10 minutes. Thank you to Jim and the use of his JD 4020.
Then after confirming it was in fact what they call the "wok" in the combustion chamber we stood around for several minutes scratching our heads how it fell in, since getting it out took some pressure to get it past the ceramics.
Not the best shot but you can see the WOK installed. It just sits on the ceramic insulation.
This is the bottom of the boiler. The small probe on the left is the combustion temp probe. Turns out the ceramic sheild on this was broken again. They suspect from removing the boiler.
This is Bret, the computer tech with WM working on the programing. He just got involved with the team but I have to take my hat off to him for effort. Still several "minor" bugs to work out to get things working the way they want but he did a bang up job for just stepping into it.
Now words wont explain the laughter Seth and I got out of this but Bret is sitting next to the access panel for the combustion chamber (temporarily removed) and while he was working from his shaded office we started hooking things up. Well the first thing we hooked up was the blower motor and wouldnt you know it, it came on, in HIGH speed
Blew ash all over his makeshift tent. Boy are we glad he had that laptop protected when that happen.
And the best part of the whole day, outside of getting the unit up and running again, I can manage everything from my office now
This is the pic of my computer screen.
As Bret worked through lots of programing issues we had to tease him each time we got a new problem. My ash auger problem is being worked out but at one point it wouldnt turn off. "Bret, I didnt have that problem before you got here"
Then we got a fuel auger failure warning. "Bret, I didnt have that problem before you got here"
Wood Mizer, my hats off to you for the caliber of people you hire! Seth and Bret are clearly assets to the WM team and it was a pleasure to work with them.
Cant forget Boyd either. Although he was not on this trip he was out the last two times and he too is a fine lad to work with.
