With all the uproar and banning of sales of new noncompliant OWBs here in NY, High Tech.Wood gasification boilers will become popular. Last week I completed and got my, (here's that word again) "CERTIFICATION" to sell and install an American Made woodgasification boiler. This particular line has an EPA efficiency rating of 99% and emitts 0.04lb/millBTU.
On the cover of a brochoure this looks really good, but how do they achieve these results. To put it very simple, you burn (Seasoned, Fine Split, Dry Wood) or Pellets fast and hot! The secret to their efficiency is that they don't burn 24/7. They are dependant upon thermo storage water tanks to carry the load during non burn periods. A typical burn period with the 200,000BTU/HR unit will be 4HRS. in the 26.5"L x 22"W x 28"H fire box. If know one is home to stoke this unit, you will need to increase storage tank sizing, but too big of tanks can reduce performance, if the boiler can't achieve a Temp. rise in the tank of 60F in 4 hrs. Not all the heated water in the jacket goes to the tanks. This system has a recirculation loop with a temp controlled diverter valve to maintain a jacket temp of 160F to promote clean burning. Tank sizing also has to relate to the homes heating load. This Company offers two boilers the other is a 100,000BTU/hr.
If you are looking at buying a gasification boiler, talk to a dealer who will set down with you and figure your heating load, spend time discussing your life style, so that tanks are properly sized, and the proper fuel or combination of biomass fuel is selected. These two stoves can burn Cord wood, pellets, and in the future wood chips, and be converted easily for each without tools.
If you opt to install a Gasification Boiler, you will have to do a much better job of storeing and precutting wood, split it finer. No more lunkers for the night, no snow or water soaked wood, and although it has an auto lighter, you will need much more newspaper, cardboard and kindling, as you will be lighting the wood much more often. If you are home all the time relighting isn't a problem. If you want to burn pellets, which are much more convenient and will feed and burn 24/7 if need be, or cycle through burn/nonburn periods. you will be very happy.,,
