Empyre Outdoor Wood Boilers

The Empyre Hot Water Outdoor Furnace stands out among outdoor hot water boilers for its high quality 304 Stainless Steel construction, its outstanding warranty, and its tremendous flexibility. Although it was originally designed to burn cordwood, the Empyre may be equipped with a Pro-Stoker, allowing you to burn corn, ag cubes, wood pellets, coal, or other biomass fuels. The Empyre is available in four sizes to fit any residential or small business heating load and is equipped with several ports for multiple hookups. The Empyre is ideal for heating houses, shops, small greenhouses, pools, hot tubs, garages, sheds, and domestic hot water.

 

What are outdoor boilers?
OWBs, also referred to as outdoor wood furnaces or outdoor wood-fired hydronic heaters, are free-standing wood burning devices that heat water, which is then pumped to one or more structures to provide heat. They resemble a small shed or mini-barn with a short smokestack on top. OWBs may be used to heat homes and buildings, produce domestic hot water, heat swimming pools or hot tubs, and provide heat to agricultural operations such as greenhouses and dairies.

Applications

The Empyre Outdoor 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 Duncan Creek Store 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. 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.
