TuRBuLENCE
A single draft control is operated to meter
combustion air to a manifold , which dis-
tributes air to the stay-clean air wash and
the primary burn zone . The multiple sec-
ondary burn tubes are self-regulating and
will automatically adjust the air flow as needed. This
balance of combustion air In the correct proportion and
location easily starts and sustains the primary fire, and provides a
steady stream of fresh air across the viewing glass to help keep it clear.
Fresh air is injected above the primary fire which creates the necessary turbulence to mix fresh oxygen with the unburned gases pro-
duced by the fire.
TEMPERATuRE
Elevated temperatures within the firebox are necessary to ignite the oxygen-rich gas mixture to reduce emissions and increase
efficiency. Several components work in conjunction to achieve this. The fire-box floor and walls are lined with dense, clay fire-
brick. The removable brick baffle features the same material, which absorbs heat, then radiates it back into the unburned gases.
The seamless unibody construction , is of the finest 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16" plate steel for years of dependable service. Even the
flue collar, which is subject to extremely high temperatures, is 5/16" thick. This heavy duty steel also contributes to higher internal
firebox temperatures.
TIME
The angle, shape, and size of the masonry baffle assembly has been engineered to maximize residence time of the unburned
gases yet allows the stove to draft adequately. This delay of the escaping, unburned gas and the turbulent introduction of oxygen
combine with the elevated temperatures to create a balanced combustion environment. The result is a beautiful fire to watch that
is also clean burning and efficient to operate.
Avalon woodstoves are proven performers,
having achieved one of the highest overall
ratings for efficiency of non-catalytic wood-
stoves from the Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality.
Our E.P.A. Phase II certified combustion
system burns so thoroughly that there is
very little visible smoke and very little ash
to remove.
The non-catalytic design perfectly
balances the three “T’s” of combustion:
Turbulence, Temperature
&
Time.
