What Is It and Why Do You Want It?
Wood gasification is not a new concept. This technique has been widely used for many years, and was a popular burning method during World War II. Although the process of gasification is rather complicated, the result is a fire that delivers high heat output and low emissions.


Right: Wood burns in the firebricklined firebox. Note the wood is only burning on the bottom due to downdraft design.			Left: Fire burns down through the charcoal bed, through the firebrick and into the combustion tunnel where the wood gas is burned at an extremely high temperature.

The Process
During a typical burn in a gasification wood furnace, wood is heated to a very high temperature and the following combustible gases (listed in box) are released.

51% Nitrogen
27% Carbon Monoxide
14% Hydrogen
4.5% Carbon Dioxide
3% Methane
.5% Oxygen
Trace Elements

These gases contain up to 60 percent of the potential heat in the wood. Although not all of the gases are combustible, there is large amount of hydrogen and methane gases which can be utilized to produce additional heat.

During a normal burn in a conventional wood furnace, these gases are present in the smoke, but are not burned efficiently. Flames burn upward and exit the furnace. In your new HEATSOURCE 1 Earth Energy Series 190 furnace, we use a process called downdraft gasification. During this gasification process, flames actually burn upside down, burning through the wood and down through the charcoal bed. The burn continues through a large amount of high temperature refractory brick. This process strips the gases off the wood and burns them in excess of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This creates a very low exhaust temperature and a very clean burn.

Updraft/Downdraft Design
A feature that is unique to the Earth Energy Series 190 is that it can also be utilized as an updraft furnace with a simple pull of a handle. This gives you the best of both designs, however, for maximum efficiency and lowest emission, it was tested as a downdraft gasifier.
