It has an A+ energy rating and can achieve 5kW power. Priced at PS1,900, it is available in a variety of colours. How They Work Wood stoves are a fantastic method of heating your home. They can be used to heat a space as a primary source of heat or as a second source of heating. They can also provide ambiance and style and make any space feel more welcoming and warm. Wood burning stoves create an atmosphere that is controlled, where the fire can burn wood more efficiently to generate heat. They accomplish this by directing air around the fire, which allows to control how quickly and effectively it burns. This is a key element in the efficiency of a stove as the fire that burns for too long will lose energy and heat to the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing the air inside the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning. Many modern wood stoves employ the catalytic combustion chamber to help achieve maximum efficiency. It is a piece of metal, usually circular in shape that sits near the top of the stove where the flue pipe joins. It resembles a beehive and has pores in which the combustion gases are stored. These gases are then burnt again at lower temperatures to release more heat. Air bypass chambers are a different characteristic of modern wood stoves. They are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of a firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is initially launched. This lets the fire be ignited more quickly and reduces some of the initial buildup of soot on the catalyst's surface. This is a feature that is common in both old and new stoves and it helps to improve the efficiency of heating in a wood stove. Convection Chambers Whether you live in a rustic wooded cabin or a modern tiny house, there's nothing that's more perfect with nature than a wood stove. These well-established heating appliances are not just a source of warmth and ambience to your living space, but they also offer a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Here's how they work. Modern wood stoves are incredibly energy efficient thanks to technological advancements. The skin on the second side creates air pockets around the firebox or main compartment. Cool air from the surrounding area is drawn into these pockets, and then released from the top of your stove when heated, warming the surrounding room more quickly and efficiently. Modern wood stoves often use sheet iron. The material is malleable and can heat and cool quicker than cast iron. This allows the development of a more durable, sleek and aesthetically pleasing stove that's ideal for modern homes. Sheet iron is also more environmentally green than casting iron since it produces less harmful emissions. If you're planning to purchase a brand new wood burning stove, be sure that it is EPA-certified and catalytic. This kind of stove burns more evenly and produces less pollution than non-catalytic stoves. It also uses less wood as the fire burns longer. While wood stoves should not be your sole source of heat, it can serve as an excellent backup to a modern central heating system in the event of an emergency. To avoid getting too much heat built up in your home you should consider having a blower installed with your wood stove that will help spread the heat more evenly throughout your home. Fireboxes The firebox of the wood stove is where magic happens. It is where you burn wood and build a fire to create heat. This is also where your stove spends most of the time you use it. These fireboxes can be made of stainless steel or cast iron. Some modern stoves have an additional skin that creates pockets of heated air that are placed directly around the fire. This allows the heated air to heat surrounding areas more efficiently and quickly than any other type of fireplace or wood-burning heating device. Wood stoves have become popular in a wide range of homes. They are no longer only for rustic cabins up in the mountains. A wood stove is an attractive accent piece that will make any room feel warm and warm. It is important to remember, however, that wood stoves should not be used as a primary or sole source of heat. If you are looking to add a wood burning stove to your home, be certain to consider the size of your house and whether you have an existing heating system in place. There are a variety of sizes and styles of stoves, making it easy to choose one that will fit your space. There are smaller stoves that are perfect for small houses, and ADUs from DEN Outdoors, or smaller rooms in larger homes, as well as larger stoves that are a great option for a large cottage or cabin. Many modern wood stoves are designed to be energy efficient and have an Ecodesign rating which aids in reducing a range of air pollutants, such as Particulate Matter (PM), Organic Gaseous Compounds (OGC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO). Certain wood stoves have an air wash option to cleanse the air inside the stove. Materials Wood stoves are at the heart of many homes and will look right at home in a Scandinavian style cabin or Midcentury Malibu beach home. The wood burning stoves are more modern than the older potbelly style stoves that were the hearth of the home. They're designed to warm small to medium-sized rooms and can be combined with a range of accessories for added warmth. Wood-burning stoves are cheaper than gas and coal, which can save you money in the winter months. They are also eco-friendly. They can be expensive to install, and also require regular maintenance. Based on your preferences for the environment You can pick from a variety of modern wood stoves that have been certified to different levels of environmental efficiency. For instance the Short Penguin Eco from Chilli Penguin Stoves features a second heat-retaining glass for energy efficiency and achieves more than 80 percent efficiency due to its dual combustion and air flow. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint even more, an uncatalytic wood stove from Stovax is an excellent option. It is EPA-certified and won't release any harmful chemicals into the air. Most contemporary stoves come with an open firebox that is lined with firebricks and baffles. Baffles and firebricks assist to regulate the temperature of the stove, which reduces the amount of particulates and smoke that is produced. This prevents creosote accumulation in your chimney, and also reduces pollution in the air around your home. Catalytic wood stoves work in the same way as a non-catalytic one but is more efficient in burning off unburnt gas and returning them to the fire to re-combust. Styles Certain things don't fade out of fashion, and a contemporary wood stove is among them. It's both a practical appliance to keep you warm in the winter, and it's a stunning design element for your living space. Modern wood stoves aren't only beautiful, but they are also extremely efficient. They usually employ a catalytic or non-catalytic burning process, a kind of heating that accelerates the burning of wood you use in your fire. As the air in your fireplace heats up, it vaporizes the water molecules in the wood, which helps provide fuel to the flames. It reaches temperatures of 600 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point, it begins to burn off the carbon and tar contained in the wood. This reduces the amount of harmful gases released into atmosphere, making wood stoves more environmentally friendly. The Rais Viva L 120, a stunning example is a fantastic choice for those who want to maximize their efficiency while keeping their home warm. The stove is equipped with a catalytic system and secondary heat-retaining glass that gives it an energy efficiency rating over 80%. It comes with a warranty for the life of the product, which means you can use it for many years.
