Add-on catalytic damper assembly

摘要

An add-on catalytic damper assembly is provided which is adapted to be positioned between the flue outlet pipe of a wood burning stove and the chimney pipe, and which provides catalytic combustion of the normally unburned portions of the flue gas. The assembly is of a very simple five part construction comprising upper and lower housing members adapted to be connected to the chimney and stove pipes, respectively; a plate nestingly mounted within the lower housing member and including a pair of side by side openings therein providing two paths for the flue gas; a catalytic converter mounted in one of the openings; and a damper plate mounted over the other opening and movable by means of an integral handle between blocking and unblocking positions.
