HOW IT WORKS
The Empyre Pro Series combines the simplicity and safety of a
conventional furnace with the savings and technology of a high efficiency
furnace to provide heat for your house, greenhouse, pool, shop, or other
buildings.
Heat from the Pro Series dual burn chamber is transferred to the furnace’s
built-in water reservoir through a series of flues. This heated water is
then channelled to your home’s heating system through underground insulated
pipes. The Pro Series` full length back door makes plumbing simple.
In a house, the heated water connects directly to the radiant or forced air
heating system through a heat exchanger. Similarly, the Pro Series heats all
domestic hot water through a sidearm heat exchanger installed on the hot
water tank.
EMPYRE PRO SERIES USES A PROCESS CALLED
WOOD GASIFICATION TO PRODUCE HIGHLY EFFICIENT
COMBUSTION IN THE FURNACE'S DUAL BURN CHAMBERS. WOOD IN THE FIREBOX
BURNS FROM THE BOTTOM UP, DRYING THE TOP LAYER OF WOOD IN THE FIREBOX AND
PUSHING GASES AND EXHAUST INTO THE LOWER BURN CHAMBER. IN THE LOWER
CHAMBER, TEMPERATURES AS HIGH AS 2000F BURN OFF ALL THE GASES. THE
FIRE BRICK LINING IN BOTH BURN CHAMBERS ABSORBS THE HEAT AND MAINTAINS BURN
CHAMBER TEMPERATURES FOR CONSISTENT COMBUSTION. THIS HIGH TEMPERATURE
GASIFICATION SIGNIFICANTLY LOWERS EMISSIONS, PREVENTS CREOSOTE BUILDUP, AND
MINIMIZES ASH BUILDUP IN THE FURNACE. AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE BURN
CHAMBER, EXHAUST AIR IS FORCED THROUGH MULTIPLE FLUES RUNNING THROUGH THE
WATER JACKET, HEATING THE WATER QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
- WATER LEVEL INDICATOR
-
ALLOWS MONITORING OF FURNACE WATER
LEVELS AT A GLANCE.
- TOP LIFTING HOOK - FURNACE
IS EASY TO INSTALL WITH TOP LIFTING HOOK AND FORKLIFT GUIDES.
- ONE-PIECE ROOF - PREVENTS
RUST AND CORROSION BY KEEPING MOISTURE FROM SEEPING INTO THE
FURNACE THROUGH THE ROOF
- EXHAUST CURTAIN - KEEPS
COMBUSTION GASES FROM ESCAPING THE FIREBOX WHILE LOADING; SWINGS
INWARDS FOR LOADING EASE.
- PRIMARY BURN CHAMBER - THE
PRIMARY BURN CHAMBER IS THE SITE OF INITIAL COMBUSTION; THE
REFRACTORY LINER RETAINS HEAT IN THE FIREBOX.
- LOADING DOOR - EXTRA LARGE
INSULATED LOADING DOOR FOR LOADING SIMPLICITY
- PREMIUM BAT INSULATION -
KEEPS HEAT INSIDE THE FURNACE AND WILL NOT OXIDIZE OR SHRINK.
|
- SECONDARY BURN CHAMBER -
ASH AND GASES BURN AT TEMPERATURE SURPASSING 2000F TO ACHIEVE
NEARLY 100% FUEL COMBUSTION
- FLUES - HEATED AIR FROM THE
GASIFICATION CHAMBER HEATS WATER AS IT PASSES THROUGH THE FLUES.
- WATER JACKET - STORES
HEATED WATER, TRANSFERRING HEAT TO YOUR HOME BY FORCED AIR OR
RADIANT HEATING
- SOLID STEEL CONSTRUCTION -
DURABLE TO WITHSTAND HIGH TEMPERATURE COMBUSTION INSIDE AND WINTER
CONDITIONS OUTSIDE
- ASH PAN - REMOVABLE FOR
EASY DISPOSAL OF ANY ASHES FROM THE FURNACE
- INSULATION - KEEPS HEAT
INSIDE THE FURNACE AND THE OUTSIDE SAFE TO TOUCH
- ASH DOOR - WIDE INSULATED
DOOR MAKES ASH CLEANUP FROM GASIFICATION CHAMBER AND FLUES SIMPLE

Digital Control Panel
The Pro Series features a digital control panel which allows the operator to
regulate the furnace’s heat output.
Float Ball
By popular demand, the Pro Series also features the proven Empyre float ball
water level indicator.
Door
The Pro Series` pressure sealed locking door keeps the heat in the furnace
and prevents unauthorized access.
Exhaust Curtain
The built-in exhaust exit and smoke curtain allows the smoke to escape
through the top flues instead of out the door when loading the furnace.
Safety
The Pro Series meets CSA/UL safety standards and EPA Phase I and Phase II
emissions standards.
The Empyre Pro Series Hot Water Furnace is ideal for a
variety of applications. It can be used for a single building or residence
or piped to other areas.
The diagrams below show just a few of the possible applications. Contact a
dealer near you for information on setting up an Empyre to meet your needs.
Radiant In-Floor Heating
In-floor heating is the most efficient and comfortable heating option, as
hot water flows through tubes in the floor of a house or building, providing
consistent heat.
Forced Air Systems
Heat can also be transferred from the Empyre through your existing forced
air system. A water-to-air heat exchanger converts heat from the water into
usable heat for your forced air system.
Domestic Hot Water, Pools, and Hot Tubs
In addition to heating houses and other buildings, the Empyre Hot Water
Furnace also provides heat for all domestic hot water. Generally a side arm
heat exchanger unit is installed to your hot water tank. Similarly, the
Empyre can provide heat for pools and hot tubs through a water-to-water heat
exchanger installed on the pool heater.
Other Buildings
Other applications, such as greenhouses, shops, sheds, and other
outbuildings use similar hookup methods, and in most cases, a single Empyre
unit can provide heat for several buildings.
