OVERVIEW

A Vent-Free system uses room air for combustion and delivers 99.9% of the available heat energy directly to the room. Vent-Free systems have an unmatched safety record, thanks in part to their clean-burning technology and their Oxygen Depletion Sensor, which instantly shuts off the valve if oxygen in the room drops to and unsafe level. Because no venting is required, Vent-Free systems offer more installation options.

Vent-Free systems are limited to 40,000 Btu and must be operated as supplemental heating sources in conjunction with a central furnace that circulates air.

Advantages:

  • Unmatched efficiency – 99.9%
  • Offers the most installation versatility
  • Usually less expensive to buy and to install
  • Can operate with a remote or thermostat
  • Most systems can provide live-saving heat during a winter power outage

Empire Cast Iron Stoves

Vent-free Spirit Stoves come standard with Empire’s Contour burner system. The Contour Burner features precision-port technology to produce vibrant flames. Topped off with the hand-painted ceramic fiber log set and glowing embers, the effect is as realistic as a gas-fired stove gets – guaranteed to keep you and your guests mesmerized for hours.

Vent-free technology eliminates the need for venting, which greatly simplifies installation.

Choose from three sizes (10,000 BTU/20,000 BTU and 25,000 BTU) and three colors – porcelain black, porcelain mahogany, and matte black.

A special 10,000-Btu model is ideal for bedroom applications – where allowed by code.

i) Millivolt (MV)

Empire Cast Iron Stoves are available in two types of ignition – Millivolt (MV) and Intermittent Pilot (IP). The Millivolt system lights a standing pilot with a pushbutton piezo ignitor. Once the standing pilot is lit, the MV system operates with an on/off switch concealed on the back of the stove or with one of Empire’s optional remote control systems.

ii) Intermittent Pilot (IP)

IP systems eliminate the standing pilot for even greater energy savings. Pressing the on/off switch ignites the pilot, which then ignites the main burner. IP systems can also operate with an optional remote control system.
