  • the controller 50 controls the supply and the cutoff of the supply of the external air to the combustion chamber 11 a by way of the main opening and closing unit 20 .
  • the supply of the external air by way of the main opening and closing unit 20 is cutoff, a minimum amount of air can be supplied to the interior of the boiler body 10 , namely, the combustion chamber 11 a by way of the auxiliary opening and closing unit 30 , so the seed of fire can survive long in the extinguished state of the firewood in the combustion chamber 11 a.
  • the controller 50 controls the opening and closing motor 27 so as to open the second injection hole 22 a, and it is controlled that the external air can be inputted into the combustion chamber 11 a by way of the input port 12 by driving the blower 25 , so the power of fire of the wood fuel can be raised, and the wood fuel is combusted until the hot water “W” reaches the reference temperature.
  • the controller 50 stops the operation of the blower 25 and closes the air input hole 13 by controlling the opening and closing motor 27 , so the supply of the external air by way of the input port 12 is cutoff.
  • the suction force is generated owing to the lack of the oxygen in the interior of the combustion chamber 11 a , and the oxygen introduced into the interior by way of the auxiliary opening and closing unit 30 spreads toward the combustion chamber 11 a.
  • the combustion of the wood fuel in the combustion chamber 11 a stops, and the heat energy is no longer generated.
  • the seed of fire in the combustion chamber 11 a can survive long with the aid of a minimum amount of external air supplied by way of the auxiliary opening and closing unit 30 . So, when a lot of an external air is supplied by way of the input port 12 in the state of seed, the combustion starts again.
  • the combustion and extinguishing can be easily controlled even when uses the wood fuel. It is possible to prevent an unnecessary consumption of the fuel.
  • the amount of air can be controlled by controlling the main opening and closing unit and the auxiliary opening and closing unit, and the seed of fire can remain alive while making sure that there is not an over combustion.
  • a minimum amount of external air can be sucked by way of the auxiliary opening and closing unit with the aid of the internal pressure in a state that the main opening and closing unit is closed, so the seed of the fire can survive long.
  • the seed of the fire can survive, the combustion, extinguishing and ignition of the wood fuel can be easily controlled. So, it is possible to keep constant the temperature of the hot water while overcoming the limited characteristics of the wood fuel and minimizing the use of the wood fuel. Since the seed of the fire can survive long, the management of the boiler is easy, and the present invention is well applicable in the industry.
