How They Work
Wood stoves are a great way to heat your home. They can be used to heat a room as a primary source or as supplementary heating. They also add ambiance and style, making any room feel more warm and inviting. The wood burning stoves create a controlled environment which lets the fire be more efficient in burning and generate heat.
They do this by directing air over the fire, which allows to control how quickly and effectively it burns. This is an important factor in the efficiency of a stove since the fire that burns for over a long period of time will lose energy and heat into the atmosphere. Contemporary wood stoves are designed to reduce this by sending air into the firebox from several different locations to ensure that the fire is kept burning properly.
A lot of modern wood stoves make use of a catalytic combustor in order to assist in achieving maximum efficiency. It is a piece of metal, usually circular in shape that sits close to the top of the stove, where the flue pipe joins. It looks like a metal beehive, and has pores where the combustion gases are stored. The gasses are then burned again at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Air bypass chambers are yet another feature found in modern wood stoves. These are large flaps that can be opened in the interior of a firebox to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove first initiated. This can help to start the fire more easily and also reduce the initial buildup of soot on the catalytic surface. This is a common feature in both old and new stoves and it helps to increase the efficiency of heating the wood stove.
