What is a baffle made of?
Baffles are 2-inch-deep chutes made of plastic, cardboard, or metal. They are usually 2 to 4 feet in length and come in widths to fit standard rafter bays. DIMENSIONS: Width: The standard width of a baffle is 50mm (2”) but custom sizes are common. Baffles under 40mm (1. Height: Baffles came in standard size between 75mm (3”) and 305mm (12”).
What happens when you remove baffles?
Removing baffles changes exhaust flow, which can throw off your air-fuel ratio. This leads to poor throttle response, weaker torque, and even decel pop. Without them in tact, the unburned fuel will flow straight out the stovepipe (loss of heat/efficiency,) and the fire that does exist may heat up the stove top quicker (potential over firing, but not likely. I’ve seen baffles in far worse shape running just fine. Sounds like you’ve ordered a new set, which is good.The most common cause of a warped baffle plate is overfiring of your wood-burning stove. Overfiring is when your stove operates at too high a temperature. This can be caused by using too much fuel.
What is a plastic baffle?
Plastic Baffles have built-in ribs that create turbulent flow and reduce stagnant laminar flow. The product is effective in improving cooling of targeted hot spots and dramatically improves cooling time. IEC’s baffles are designed to improve water and wastewater quality by eliminating short- circuiting and increasing retention time in ponds, lagoons, and tanks. They are commonly used in municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities, industrial processes, and stormwater management systems.
