FUEL: GARN wood heating systems can burn cord wood, slab wood, dense wood briquettes, air-dried corn on the cob, pallets and other scrap wood. Emissions information is listed and certified for cordwood fuel only. OPERATION: Periodic firings are used to bring the unit’s large water volume up to approximately 195 °F. Hot water can be drawn from storage and delivered to the connected building’s heating system during firing and for hours after firing is complete. When the water temperature in the thermal storage drops below the temperature required by the connected heating system, the GARN WHS is re-loaded and re-fired and the process is repeated. • The heat output rate from the thermal storage to the connected heating system is independent of the firing rate. See the “Thermal Performance” section for further explanation and more information.
• Low Emissions: gasification is achieved with a unique, high-temperature, non-modulated batch burn process. • Simple: combustion air to the fire is not modulated, so there are no motorized dampers or blowers that cycle on and off. • High Efficiency: a large diameter, high surface area, 5-pass heat exchanger ensures efficient heat transfer over the life of the unit. • Safe: cool combustion air circulates around the combustion door keeping it cool to the touch. OVERVIEW: The GARN ® Wood Heating System (WHS) is a highly efficient direct-gasification cordwood burner that heats an integrated, large water volume, thermal storage tank. The GARN ® features several technical advantages over conventional wood burning equipment: MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL SPECS: Hot Water Supply Connection........................................................3” FPT Hot Water Return Connection...............................................2-1/2” MPT Makeup Air Requirement (at sea level)..................................975 CFM Weight Empty.................................................................................7,500 lbs Weight Full....................................................................................34,500 lbs Water Storage Volume.......................................................3,200 Gallons Flue..........................................................................10 inch, Class A 2100 °F Maximum Flue Discharge Temperature.....................................450 °F Front and Back Heads...............................3/8” grit-blasted mild steel Tank and Other Parts...............................1/4” grit blasted mild steel Electrical requirements.................................................15 AMP, 120VAC FLUE SPECIFICATIONS:
SAFETY LISTINGS: GARN equipment is certified safe in the United States and Canada by Warnock Hersey / Intertek testing labs.
ANSI/UL-391 UL-726 CAN/USA B366.1-11v
The GARN ® G N 3200 WH S is available in a Vertical Exhaust configuration ( GN 3200V). The vertical configuration comes with a universal flue connection so any manufacturer’s insulated Class A 2100F rated flue with a 12 inch outer diameter and 10 inch inner diameter is acceptable.

TEMPERATURE SENSORS (INCLUDED):

The GARN ® WHS Digital Controller (4) reads and displays temperatures from the following temperature sensors: Sensor Acronym Description TST Thermal Storage Temperature FGT Flue Gas Temperature HWS Hot Water Supply HWR Hot Water Return OT Outdoor Air Temperature THERMAL PERFORMANCE: Annual Efficiency Rating..................................85% (HHV) / 75% (LHV) Firing Rate 1 ..............................................................................700,000 btuh Heat Delivered to Thermal Storage 1 ............................. 1,900,000 btu Heat Output Rate.........................................................See Table 1 Below 1 Based on a single fuel charge of 340 lbs red oak with 22% moisture content. Values will vary based on fuel species, moisture content, and unit elevation. There is a fundamental difference between the firing rate and output rate (building heat load). Firing (Heat Input) Rate: the rate at which heat is added to the thermal storage from the process of wood combustion and the efficiency of the heat exchanger. Heat Output Rate: the rate at which heat is removed from the thermal storage and delivered to the connected heating system. With conventional wood heating systems, the equipment attempts to match the firing rate to the output rate. With the GARN ® WHS, the firing rate is nearly constant during the wood combustion process while the output rate varies. The operator continues to add wood until the thermal storage temperature is up to 195°F. Table 1 illustrates how long the GARN ® WHS thermal storage will last before the need to re- fire. For example, with a heat load of 200,000 btuh and a lower system operating temperature of 125°F, re-firing is required every 9.2 hours.

ELECTRONICS AND CONTROLS (INCLUDED):
Blower Motor: The blower motor is connect to a blower wheel inside the GARN’s ® custom designed blower housing. The blower motor produces an induced draft on the combustion chamber so that back - drafting is minimized when the combustion door is opened. Flue Gas Temperature Sensor: Monitors flue gas temperature. Sensor Stem: The sensor stem has two functions: to provide a Low Water Cut - Off (LWCO) signal and to monitor the thermal storage tank water temperature (TST). Digital Controller: Starts the blower motor when a fire is started. Stops the blower motor when the fire has burned all of the wood. Uses digital feedback from the flue gas temperature sensor and sensor stem to ensure safe and efficient operation.

EMISSIONS: Particulate emissions have not been tested on the WHS-3200.
UNIT DIMENSIONS:
WATER TREATMENT AND CHEMISTRY: Because the GARN ® WHS has a large thermal storage volume, the quality and chemical treatment of the water used is the most essential element to ensure the equipment’s longevity and efficient operation. A water treatment program is included with the purchase of a GARN ® WHS. The water treatment program includes the following at NO COST: 1. The initial chemical required to test and treat the fill water. 2. Routine (semi-annual) analysis of the tank water. There are three main components to water treatment program: • Sample: using the included water bottle, sample the fill water (if initially filling the unit) or the water from the tank. • Test and Analyze: the sample is sent out for analysis. A report from the lab is returned which details the outcome of the lab analysis. • Treat: Based on results of the lab analysis add or maintain chemical as needed. Fill water must be analyzed before the unit is initially fi lled and a water sample must also be taken twice per year (every 6 months). For more information, consult the GARN ® WHS Owner’s Manual, available online at www.garn.com
