Combining secondary heat retention glazing, combustion jets and air flow diverts, it helps to maintain high internal temperatures and thereby allowing for a more complete combustion of gasses that fuel the engine.

This is accomplished through the new clean-burn system that has been upgraded with an air pre-heated feed which is introduced into the combustion chamber via channels and jets that are placed over the fire. The pre-heated air ignites the volatile gases created by the fuel which results in a more complete combustion and the reduction of harmful emissions. It also creates a cushion of air that is directed towards the glass, known as an 'air wash' to give you a clear view of the flames.
