I have a 210gal indirect storage tank hooked to my wood fired boiler via a water to water heat exchanger in the tank. The tank also supplies domestic hot water during the heating season. When heat is called for the hot boiler water is pumped to all the circuits calling for heat and also the storage tank is heated utilizing a separate zone circulator pump. All zones controlled by thermostats, except for the storage tank circuit. It is live at all times that there is power to the boiler. My boiler is not a gasifier, but does utilize a combustion fan which is turned on and off with a temp sensor switch. It turns off combustion air fan at 180F boiler temp and back on at 165F In my boiler, the fire can survive without the fan running as apposed to a gasifier and my smoke goes up the chimney rather than entering the gasification chamber where it burns at 1200F. There is a lot of heat left in regular smoke, which makes gasifiers so efficient. With my system, I had to put a jumper into one of my heating circuits also so that pump now runs continually. It can get a little warm in that room, but Wwth no heat called for the boiler could over heat and pop off the P&T valves in the system. The storage tank works like a battery to stabilize the water temp, but I still have to keep an educated eye on all the components and temps at the distribution manifold. Gasifiers effectively shut down the burning process when no heat is called for, similar to pellet stoves, which also adds to their efficiency. I hope that I did not confuse you more. Loren Loren

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
