The basic tiled stove
A number of points distinguish the basic tiled stove from a warm-air tiled stove. Whereas the warm-air tiled stove converts a part of its heating performance into convection heat, the basis stove radiates its heat completely via the tiled covering. The differences become clear as early as the heating phase. The warm-air tiled stove has to be filled continuously with fuel during its entire operating period, whereas the basic tiled stove is only filled once with about 15 kg of fuel (depending on the combustion chamber size). The stove is operated for about one hour with the air openings open until the wood has completely burned. After this, the combustion chamber door is closed air-tight. The heat remains in the stove and radiates into the room being heated for a number of hours.
The "inside life" of the basic stove also differs considerably from that of the warm-air tiled stove: the combustion area is built of chamotte stones. The heating gases are then not guided through metal pipes, but through so-called ceramic channels. These channels, which are also lined with chamotte, go through the entire stove. In this, use is made of the optimum storage capacities of chamotte, a special material made of burnt clay.
Slow heat, stored for a long time
Chamotte absorbs the heat slowly, stores it and passes it on slowly during a number of hours. The stored heat penetrates to the outside to the tiled covering and heats it. The heat of the basic tiled stove is therefore not passed on through warm-air openings, but via the surface of the stove. The heat created in this way is a comfortable radiated heat. Radiated heat means that not the room air, but the bodies in the room, onto which the heat radiation goes, are heated. For this reason, relatively low temperatures are sufficient in a room heated with a basic stove, in order to create a comfortable and cosy room climate. As a result of the slow "discharging" of the heated stove mass, the basic tiled stove only needs to be fired about every 12 hours as a rule.
The benefits:
- long-lasting stored heat
- pleasant room climate
- thrifty fuel consumption
- very simple handling
- healthy radiated heat
