DOUBLE COMBUSTION
What does correctly burning wood mean? The so called incomplete combustion determines only a partial exploitation for the heat potential in wood, as a result it forms carbon monoxide (CO) and, in economics terms, significant waste.

Instead, thanks to the post combustion technology that is applied to Palazzetti fireplaces and stoves, primary combustion fumes, rich in carbon monoxide, are re-ignited in the combustion chamber by adding pre-heated oxygen.
This re-ignition, starts a second combustion, and guarantees an elevated heat yield level, along with a radical decrease in polluting emissions, optimizing operating costs.

PALAZZETTI DOUBLE COMBUSTION
Our research laboratories have developed an exclusive system, the Double Combustion, that allows an increased yield, therefore more heat, with less harmful emissions, and as a result, healthier heat.
What is it this about?
Simply oxygen. A portion of the oxygen inserted into the hearth feeds the flame; another portion goes through a circuit that pre-heats it, causing a second combustion. It burns unburnt monoxide that was produced by the first flame, releasing additional heat and a quantity of carbon dioxide that is in equilibrium with the cycle of nature.
INCREASED YIELD WITH A SMALLER QUANTITY OF EMISSIONS POLLUTION
Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel (in our case, wood) and a combustion agent (oxygen), producing heat and releasing a certain quantity of carbon dioxide that is in equilibrium with the environment. However, this reaction is only theoretical; it cannot be repeated in the real world.
C + O2 = CO2 + heat

TRADITIONAL COMBUSTION
Fireplaces with a combustion chamber that has not been properly designed develop incomplete combustion.
The insufficient amount of oxygen causes a partial exploitation of the heating power in wood and as a result it creates a high percentage of carbon monoxide.
C + O2 = CO2 + CO + heat |
PALAZZETTI DOUBLE COMBUSTION
The
Palazzetti Double Combustion resolves the incomplete combustion problem by inserting pre-heated oxygen, using a special circuit, causing a second flame that burns any carbon monoxide that has remained unburnt, releasing additional heat and a quantity of carbon dioxide that is in equilibrium with the environment.
First combustion:
C + O2 = CO2 + CO + heat
Second combustion:
CO + O2 = CO2 + heat
