The warm-air tiled stove

A warm-air tiled stove works according to the convection principle. It makes use of the fact that warm air is lighter than cold air and the heated air rises. In the lower area (pedestal) of such a tiled stove, there are openings for circulating air, into which the cold air can flow. The heating insert fitted in the interior of the tiled covering heats the cold air which flows in from below. This heated air rises within the tiled covering and passes the heat on to the tiles. The radiated heat resulting from this is passed onto the room slowly and evenly and is sensed as being extremely pleasant. The air which has heated in the area between the tile covering and the heating insert can optionally be passed on to the room and neighbouring rooms via grids or it is guided to other storeys or rooms via hot-air channels and is used for heating there. As regards the passing on of heat, you must consider than about 70% of it is via convection heat and 30% via radiated heat.

The core

In the interior of the warm-air tiled stove, there is a heating insert. This is a cast-iron heat generator, which has been equipped with highly modern combustion technique and can be adapted to the heat requirement in question. In order to achieve optimum cooling of the exhaust gas caused in combustion, a re-heat register has been placed behind the heating insert. These reheat registers can be of steel, of cast metal or in a chamotte finish. The exhaust gases, which are still hot, flow through this re-heat register and heat it at the same time. The heating energy created in this is additionally available and makes your tiled stove even more energy-efficient.
