[Gasification] Results of wood burning contest Fwd: December Wood Heat Newsletter

Thu Dec 26 22:50:45 CST 2013

As a subscriber and reader of these lists for some years now I feel it is
appropriate to comment on this topic since I was a finalist in this contest
with The IntensiFire technology. I was contemplating a reply but given the
relevant thread started by Ken Boak I thought I had better jump in sooner
rather than later.

What will be of interest to you all is that one of the judges recognised
The IntensiFire for what it is, and what I intended it to be, a gasifier
within a stove.

The stove I retrofitted for the Decathlon was an old Treemont, perhaps 30+
years old, and was destined for the scrap metal dealer. It was problematic
for me as it was 2.5x larger than any wood stove I had worked with before
and I spent the entire contest tuning it. The 8" flue was also new, having
previously only worked with 150mm.

My best performance was delivered on the last day and unfortunately as I
had operated the stove was not an independent test so don't believe it is
reflected in the judging. That test produced zero emissions using the Testo
380, I don't have the official results back yet from Brookhaven National
Laboratory but am keen to get my hands on it. Zero meaning zero
particulates and zero carbon monoxide, or as Trevor Gionet described it
"perfect combustion"(screen shot available). The test was of course only a
15 minute sample from a batch burn but in this instance the insane stack
temperatures mean the gas analyser overheated at around the 12 minute mark.
I am glad you posted the link Paul as it was one that I had missed. I had
believed that the crazy stack temperatures had hurt the efficiency figures,
but to beat out the 82% certified stoves in this category was satisfying.

It seems there may well be a future for this technology but I am learning
all the time, these lists are of course a part of my education :-)

Great work by John Ackerly in putting the event together.

Both Popular Mechanics and National Geographic published the results.
