How the Empyre Elite Xt Works
The Empyre Elite XT 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, 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 fire brick 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
