  vides adequate air for combustion and ventilation, 

and therefore no additional make up air is required.

5.  For a ‘confined’ space or an ‘unconfined’ space in a 

building with unusually tight construction, an addition-

al source of make up air is required. Please consult an 

HVAC professional to determine the best way to supply 

make up air for this type of installation.

Important:

 Furnace room must never be in a negative 

pressure condition. Negative pressure could result in 

smoke in the room.

The Empyre Elite XT furnace is no different than an oil 

boiler or gas boiler in that condensation of the products 

of combustion will occur if flue gases come in contact with 

a surface that is less than 140°F (60°C). With an oil or 

gas boiler the rate of fuel and consistency of the fuel is 

automatic, so if the temperature of the water in the boiler 

falls below the desired setting the burner comes on auto-

matically raising the water temperature. The Empyre Elite 

XT requires an automatic protection from low water tem-

perature because of the manual fuel feed.
Condensation (water) in the boiler tubes will cause corro-

sion and premature failure. The Empyre System Optimiz-

er, as installed in Figures 1-3, page 14, gives the Empyre 

Elite XT excellent protection from low water temperatures.

Empyre system Optimizer

The Empyre System Optimizer (ESO) is designed with a low 

loss header which includes a Danfoss VTC valve, complete 

with  a  pump  flange  and  bypass  piping.  The  Danfoss 

VTC tempering valve was selected for its simplicity and 

reliability.
The Empyre System Optimizer is mandatory on all Empyre 

Elite XT installations in order to maintain the warranty.

How the EsO and Valve Operates

 

The Empyre System Optimizer provides a constant 

circulation of water through the boiler and the Danfoss VTC 

tempering valve. Water is drawn off the low loss header by 

the building piping system and returned to that same loop 

where it mixes with the water in the low loss header. Before 

it reenters the boiler, it passes through the tempering valve. 

If the water entering the valve is too cold, the valve starts 

to slow the water returning and mixes it with water coming 

directly from the boiler. If the return water temperature 

drops below 140°F (60°C) the valve will stop this cold 

water from entering the boiler. The valve will open again 

when the  boiler water rises in temperature.

Electrical Hookup

Have a junction box with a receptacle installed in the 

back of the furnace by a qualified electrician to ensure 

all national and municipal codes are met. This is to be 

installed inside the back of the furnace on the bottom 

pan surface or up on either side. 

note:

 The junction box and receptacle installation is to 

be a dedicated receptacle to run the furnace and the 

circulating pumps. 

Water line Hookup

See Figures 1 to 3. 

Important: 

Pump must always be in lowest part of 

the water line system from the Empyre Elite XT to the 

building. Pump may be at the furnace or in the building.

note: 

The spacing between the tees must be no more 

than 4 times the diameter of the plumbing line size. 
The Empyre System Optimizer may be installed in the 

vertical position.

ImpOrtant :

the installation drawings in this manual are 

conceptual drawings only. this furnace is to 

be installed by a professional plumbing and 

heating company and qualified electrician. 

Ensure your installation is suitable for 

your application, will serve your needs and 

conforms to all local, provinicial

/

state and 

national codes.

the pro-Fab Industries warranty covers the 

Empyre Elite Xt furnace only and does not 

include anything outside of the Empyre 

Elite Xt furnace. pro-Fab Industries takes 

nO responsibility for installations. dO nOt 

modify this unit in any way. Any modification 

will void the warranty.
