The boiler is an ATOMS DC40GS, Wood Gasification Hot Water
Boiler rated at 138,000BTU/hr output.
This unit was purchased from New
Horizon Corporation .
The following information was taken from the ATMOS web site:
GASIFYING BOILERS FOR WOODThe boilers are
constructed for burning wood on the principle of generator gasifying with the
use of a gas exhaust ventilator, which withdraws the combustion gases from
the boiler, or leads air into the boiler. |

ADVANTAGES OF ATMOS GASIFICATIONS BOILERS FOR WOOD
ENVIRONMENTReverse combustion and a
ceramic combustion chamber enable perfect combustion with minimum polluting
emissions. PHOTOS OF THE FLUE WHILE FIRING DRY WOOD AT FULL CAPACITY: (CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS BELOW FOR FULL SIZE PICTURES) (Pictures of the Flue – NO SMOKE!) INSTALLATIONGassifier boilers must be
equipped with a thermostatic mixing valve to keep the minimum temperature of
water returning to boiler at approximately 150ºF. This prevents the formation of acidic tars in the boiler and greatly
extends the boiler’s life. The
temperature of water exiting the boiler must be controlled between 176 - 195°F. |

FEATURES
The induced draft fan minimizes escaping smoke when tending to the fire. This is a great benefit when compared to “forced draft” type boilers.
