This furnace was carried by the American Medical Research Expedition to Mt. Everest and used in the record setting Pacific Crossing of the Double Eagle Balloon.
The dependable Everest Star II series builds on the 20-year success story of its predecessor with improvements such as: an electric shut-off on the gas valve, the
new blower assembly that increases air delivery by 60%, and electronic ignition (no standing pilot).
Lightweight
Weighing in at just 23 pounds (10.4kg) and using only 1.10 ft3 (31.11) of space, the Everest Star II can produce 12,000, 16,000
and 18,000 BTU's per hour of input heat. The compactness of the furnace optimizes space utilization and furnace placement flexibility.
Flexibility
Atwood furnaces are known for their flexibility and the new Everest Star II is no exception. It offers three different vent kits for cabinet depths ranging from 20
1/2" (524mm) up to 31 1/8" (813mm). It can be configured for front discharge only, discharge from both side ducts, or a combination of front and side ducts.
