Shelby, MI – Hawken Energy announces approval for regulated
states, including those with additional requirements beyond the voluntary EPA
Phase 2 Program. The Hawken Energy GX10
is now approved in the following states: Indiana,
Massachusetts, Maine,
Maryland, New Hampshire,
New York, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island and Vermont.
Hawken Energy passed
their preliminary EPA emissions testing in September of 2011 and received the
required EPA hangtags and publication on the EPA Burnwise website in February
of 2012.
The GX10 utilizes
gasification technology to achieve extremely high temperatures. Air introduced into the firebox is forced
down through the coals. This ignites the
flammable compounds in the smoke and creates burn temperatures exceeding
1,500°F. Temperatures often exceed
2,000°F.
This extremely hot
gas passes through three heat exchangers before exiting the stack at
temperatures well below 380°F.
The GX10 is sized to
heat most homes up to 3,500 sq/ft.
“Customers can expect comfort and savings, the best of both worlds” said
Warren Walborn, president and CEO of Hawken Energy. “Wood heat should be affordable and we’re
trying to help people stay warm.”
The GX10 is the only
outdoor wood furnace currently approved to utilize a catalytic disk to reduce
combustion emissions. This advance in
technology is due largely to the placement of the disk between the heat
exchangers. This placement allows the
disk to reach the proper temperatures to be activated without being exposed to
flames.
With multiple
patents pending, the GX10 and soon the GX20 from Hawken Energy set a new
standard for quality and efficiency in the outdoor wood furnace industry
today.
“Not only is the
GX10 cutting edge,” said Walborn, “Its main purpose is to save people money by
giving them an alternative to expensive fossil fuel based heating. Wood is endlessly renewable. The GX10 is the lowest priced, highest
quality gasifier on the market by far.
With a GX10 in their back yard people can heat their homes with wood and
save money. That’s what we’re all
about.”
