your boil r and following saf op rating practic s.
All Wood Gun boil rs can b suppli d with th
Warnock H rsh y “WH” and/or th ASME “H”
stamp with National Board numb r for an additional
f wh n r qu st d prior to purchas . Alt rnat
H ating Syst ms boil rs ar built to th most rigid
quality control standard. You can b assur d that you
will r c iv th high st quality product.
The Sup r E210 is a wood gasifiecation boil r
d sign d to fficci ntly and asily burn cord wood.
The SE210 was t st d by Int rt k laboratori s
according to: UL 2523, CAN/CSA B366.1-11, ASTM
2515-11, ASTM 2618-13. It was found to comply with
th EPA 2020 particulat mission limits whil
burning cord wood. The SE210 has a h ating
fficci ncy of 80% wh n producing 140,000 btu/hr.
EXPLANATION OF WOOD & BIOMASS
COMBUSTION
The burning of wood involv s a s ri s of v ry
compl x ch mical r actions that ar tim and
t mp ratur d p nd nt. The pi c s of wood (or
particl s) may b thought of as contain rs that stor
combustibl gas s that ar r l as d wh n h at is
appli d. The various gas s that manat from h at d
wood hav ignition t mp ratur s ranging from 540º
F to 1125º F. Theis h lps to xplain why maintaining a
high combustion t mp ratur is so important in
achi ving “compl t ” combustion in burning wood.
In a conv ntional wood stov a signifiecant portion of
th combustibl gas s r l as d from th wood go s
up th chimn y unburn d to b com d posit d on
th chimn y walls as cr osot or scap as visibl
smok . In th Wood Gun™ a gr at r p rc ntag of
th combustibl l m nts r l as d from th wood ar
combust d du to th high t mp ratur s attaain d,
usually within v n a f w minut s of r -ignition.
The tim it tak s for smok to disapp ar from
boil r xhaust on startup d p nds larg ly upon th
t mp ratur of th r fractory. A boil r b ing fier d
from a cold start may mit som smok for 20-50
minut s. Wh n th boil r is r igniting afte r an off
cycl (hot or warm start) th r may b v ry littal to
no visibl smok . The l ngth of th last fiering cycl
and th amount of laps d tim sinc th boil r last
fier d will aff ct r fractory t mp ratur s and th
amount of visibl smok wh n th boil r r -fier s. A
Wood Gun™ op rating und r normal load will
produc only a small amount of smok on startup
and burn cl anly shortly th r afte r.
WOOD MOISTURE CONTENT & WOOD
GASIFICATION
The moistur cont nt of wood is a critical factor
aff cting wood gasifiecation, as it d t rmin s how
rapidly pyrolysis (gasifiecation) can occur. Wood
moistur cont nt mod rat s th rat of gasifiecation
by limiting th rat of h at gain in th wood. Wood
with high r moistur cont nt will gasify mor
slowly. Wood with xc ssiv moistur cont nt will
not gasify until a larg amount of wat r has b n
driv n out of th wood. Theis consum s n rgy that
would oth rwis b usabl h at. The dil mma that
fac s th boil r op rator using high r moistur
cont nt wood is that th boil r must b op rat d so
that mor h at go s up th stack (in ord r to driv
wat r vapor out of th syst m) or ls th op rator
