Evaporator system, kit for assembling the same, and corresponding methods of assembling, operating and use associated thereto

An evaporator system used for the production of maple syrup, the evaporator system comprising:

• at least one receptacle for receiving and processing maple water destined to be transformed into maple syrup;
• a combustion chamber being operatively disposed with respect to said at least one receptacle for providing the at least one receptacle with heat intended to be used in the transformation of the maple water into maple syrup, the combustion chamber having an inlet for receiving and burning biomass inside of the combustion chamber;
• an evacuation port being operatively and fluidly connected to the combustion chamber for evacuating exhaust gases from the combustion chamber via a corresponding chimney;
• an air supply system being operatively mounted with respect to the combustion chamber for feeding the combustion chamber with air intended to be used in the combustion of the biomass, the air supply system providing at least one type of air supply to the combustion chamber selected from the group consisting of at least primary air and secondary air;
• and
• a door assembly being configured for removably mounting onto a corresponding support frame of the evaporator system, and being operable between an opened configuration for allowing access to the combustion chamber and to be able to selectively feed biomass into the combustion chamber via the inlet thereof, and a closed configuration for preventing access to and closing off the inlet of the combustion chamber, the door assembly being provided with at least one aeration passage extending between an outer portion of the door assembly and an inner portion therefor, for providing a supply of secondary air to the combustion chamber via said at least one aeration passage of the door assembly when operated in the closed configuration;
• wherein the door assembly comprises a hollow body portion, and at least one outer aeration hole and at least one inner aeration hole, the at least one outer aeration hole being positioned, shaped and sized for receiving a supply of air from outside the combustion chamber when the door assembly is closed onto the evaporator system, and the at least one inner aeration hole being positioned, shaped and sized for releasing said supply of air into the combustion chamber as a supply of secondary air for the evaporator system when the door assembly is closed onto the evaporator system, the at least one outer aeration hole being fluidly connected to the at least one inner aeration hole via the hollow body portion of the door assembly.
