How The Empyre Pro Series Works
The Empyre Pro Series uses a process called wood
gasification to produce highly efficient combustion in the
furnace’s dual burn chambers. (1) Wood in the firebox burns
from the bottom up, drying the top layer of wood in the firebox
and forcing gases and exhaust into the lower burn chamber.
(2) In the brick-lined lower chamber, these volatile gases
are burned at temperatures as high as 2000°F (1093°C).*
The firebrick lining in both burn chambers absorbs the heat
and maintains burn chamber temperatures for consistent
gas combustion. This high-temperature gas combustion
significantly lowers emissions, prevents creosote buildup,
and minimizes ash buildup in the unit. (3) After passing
through the burn chamber, exhaust air escapes through
multiple flues running through the water jacket, heating
the water quickly and efficiently. (4) The exhaust cools as it
passes through the flues, and when it leaves the chimney,
temperatures have fallen to 350°F (177°C).*
*varies based on fuel type, burn rate and other conditions
