How They Work
Wood stoves are a great option to heat your home. They can be employed as a primary or secondary heating source, and provide a touch of class that can make any room feel more comfortable and inviting. The wood burning stoves create a controlled atmosphere which lets the fire be more efficient in burning and generate heat.
They do this by directing air around the fire, which helps to control the speed and efficiently it burns. This is an important factor in the effectiveness of a stove as a fire which smolders too long will deplete energy and heat to the air. Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing air into the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning.
Many modern wood stoves also make use of a catalytic combustor in order to assist in getting the most efficient performance. This is a piece of metal, usually circular in form, that is placed near the top of the stove where the flue pipe joins. It resembles a beehive and has pores where the combustion gases are deposited. These gases are then burned again to release more heat at lower temperatures.
Air bypass chambers are another feature found in modern wood stoves. They are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of the firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is first initiated. This will help begin the fire more quickly and lessen the initial buildup of soot over the catalyst’s surface. This feature is found in both new and old stoves, and can increase the efficiency of heating for wood stoves.
