Napoleon Dynamic Heat Control | DHCEX

Advanced Passive Heat Management

The Napoleon DHCEX Dynamic Heat Control is a specialized heat management component designed specifically for the Elevation X Series of direct vent gas fireplaces. This system utilizes natural convection to draw cool air into the enclosure and expel warm air through an outlet at the top, effectively moving heat away from the fireplace surfaces. By circulating heat more consistently throughout the living space, it eliminates “hot spots” in front of the unit and increases overall heating efficiency.

Design Flexibility and Safety

One of the primary advantages of the DHCEX system is the significant reduction in surface temperatures around the fireplace opening. This groundbreaking innovation allows for true zero clearance to combustible materials, meaning you can use wood, drywall, or other sensitive finishes right up to the edge of the fireplace without fear of cracking or discoloration. Furthermore, it enables the safe installation of a TV, soundbar, or fine art directly above the fireplace at a much lower height than standard installations.
