Cutsheet: GARN® GN3200 WHS
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.

ELECTRIC HEATING PACKAGE (OPTIONAL ACCESSORY):
The Electric Heating Package turns the GARN unit into an electric heating system. The Digital Controller (4) can interface with the utility’s off- peak/discounted rate programs. The following electronics and controls components are optional and must be purchased in addition to the standard GARN package:

Electric Element Box (QTY 2): A UL® listed box bolts to the front of the GARN ® unit to protect the electric elements. Electric Element Box Cover (QTY 2): A cover for the Electric Element Box (5). Electric Element(s): Between 3 and 18 electric elements (5.5 kW at 240 VAC each) thread into the flanges on the back of the GARN ® unit. Sequencer: Turns the electric elements on one after another in sequence to provide a smooth and gradual power-up.
