2.2 ZONEHEATINGANDHOWTOMAKEITWORKFORYOU

YournewOsburnMatrixwoodinbuiltisaspaceheater,whichmeansitisintendedtoheatthe

areaitisinstalledin,aswellasspacesthatconnecttothatarea,althoughtoalowertemperature.

Thisiscalledzoneheatinganditisanincreasinglypopularwaytoheathomesorspaceswithin

homes.

Zoneheatingcanbeusedtosupplementanotherheatingsystembyheatingaparticularspace

withinahome,suchasabasementfamilyroomoranadditionthatlacksanotherheatsource.

Housesofmoderatesizeandrelativelynewconstructioncanbeheatedwithaproperlysizedand

locatedwoodinbuilt.Wholehousezoneheatingworksbestwhentheinbuiltislocatedinthepart

ofthehousewherethefamilyspendsmostofitstime.Thisisnormallythemainlivingareawhere

thekitchen,diningandlivingroomsarelocated.Bylocatingtheinbuiltinthisarea,youwillgetthe

maximumbenefitoftheheatitproducesandwillachievethehighestpossibleheatingefficiency

andcomfort.Thespacewhereyouspendmostofyourtimewillbewarmest,whilebedroomsand

basement(ifthereisone)willstaycooler.Inthisway,youwillburnlesswoodthanwithother

formsofheating.

Althoughthewoodinbuiltmaybeabletoheatthemainlivingareasofyourhousetoanadequate

temperature,westronglyrecommendthatyoualsohaveaconventionaloil,gasorelectricheating

systemtoprovidebackupheating.

Yoursuccesswithzoneheatingwilldependonseveralfactors,includingthecorrectsizingand

locationofthewoodinbuilt,thesize,layoutandageofyourhomeandyourclimatezone.Three‐

seasonvacationhomescanusuallybeheatedwithsmallerwoodinbuiltsthanhousesthatare

heatedallwinter.



2.3 THEBENEFITSOFLOWEMISSIONSANDHIGHEFFICIENCY

ThelowsmokeemissionsproducedbythespecialfeaturesinsidetheOsburnMatrixfireboxmean

thatyourhouseholdwillreleaseupto90percentlesssmokeintotheoutsideenvironmentthanif

OsburnMatrixInbuiltInstallationandOperationManual

10______________________________________________________________________________

youusedanolderconventionalwoodinbuilt.Butthereismoretotheemissioncontrol

technologiesthanprotectingtheenvironment.

Thesmokereleasedfromwoodwhenitisheatedcontainsabouthalfoftheenergycontentofthe

fuel.Byburningthewoodcompletely,yourwoodinbuiltreleasesalltheheatenergyfromthe

woodinsteadofwastingitassmokeupthefluesystem.Also,thefeaturesinsidethefireboxallow

youtoreducetheairsupplytocontrolheatoutput,whilemaintainingcleanandefficientflaming

combustion,whichbooststheefficientdeliveryofheattoyourhome.

Theemissioncontrolandadvancedcombustionfeaturesofyourwoodinbuiltcanonlywork

properlyifyourfuelisinthecorrectmoisturecontentrangeof15to20percent.SeeSection3of

thismanualforsuggestionsonpreparingfuelwoodandjudgingitsmoisture.



2.4 OSBURN’SCOMMITMENTTOYOUANDTHEENVIRONMENT

TheOsburnteamiscommittedtoprotectingtheenvironment,sowedoeverythingwecantouse

onlymaterialsinourproductsthatwillhavenolastingnegativeimpactontheenvironment.

2.4.1 WHATISYOURNEWWOODINBUILTMADEOF?

Thebodyofyourwoodinbuilt,whichismostofitsweight,iscarbonsteel.Shoulditeverbecome

necessarymanyyearsinthefuture,almosttheentirewoodinbuiltcanberecycledintonew

products,thuseliminatingtheneedtominenewmaterials.

Thepaintcoatingonyourwoodinbuiltisverythin.ItsVOCcontent(VolatileOrganicComponents)

isverylow.VOCscanberesponsibleforsmog,soallthepaintusedduringthemanufacturing

processmeetsthelatestairqualityrequirementswithregardstoVOCreductionorelimination.

Theairtubesarestainlesssteel,whichcanalsoberecycled.

TheC‐Castbaffleismadeofanaluminosilicatefibrematerialthatiscompressedwithabinderto

formarigidboard.C‐Castcanwithstandtemperaturesabove1093°C(2,000°F.)Itisnot

consideredhazardouswaste.Disposalatalandfillisrecommended.

Firebrickismainlycomposedofsilicondioxide,alsoknownassilica,aproductprocessedfroma

minedmineral.Itismostcommonlyfoundinnatureintheformofsandandclay.Disposalata

landfillisrecommended.

Thedoorandglassgasketsarefibreglasswhichisspunfrommeltedsand.Blackgasketshavebeen

dippedintoasolvent‐freesolution.Disposalatalandfillisrecommended.

Thedoorglassisa5mmthickceramicmaterialthatcontainsnotoxicchemicals.Itisbasically

madeofrawearthmaterialssuchassandandquartzthatarecombinedinsuchawaytoforma

glassathightemperatures.Ceramicglasswillnotre‐meltinthesamewayasnormalglass,soit

shouldnotberecycledwithyourregularhouseholdproducts.Disposalatalandfillis

recommended.
