Introduction to mass stoves

3 types of heat

• Convection: energy moves through a gas or liquid. What is known in general are rather radiators heaters that heat by hot air. Fast but problematic for the airways (moving dust, allergies ...). In addition, warm air rises to the ceiling or the floor and escapes easily through the ventilation slots and insulation,
• Conduction: energy moves through physical contact. A wood stove burns our fingers, a masonry heater warms and relaxes the back,
• Radiation: energy moves by infrared like the sun is healthy and comfortable. A stove sends the same mass as the sun rays.

Stoves mass, what is it?
stoves mass, also called 'pans inertia', 'home ground', 'radiant', 'masonry heater', 'masonry stove', 'fireplace or stove to build', 'Kachelofen', etc. ... boistrès stoves are heavy (often more than one tonne) for burning wood at high temperature (often above 900 ° C). This allows a very good combustion energy released more and less as black smoke pollution are simply not burning gas at high temperature. An outbreak lasts one to two hours and the inertia of the pan captures this heat and distributes radiating all around for the rest of the day. More stove is heavy (inertial mass) the more he is able to store energy and therefore more time is needed before feeling the heat outside. But a heavy skillet radiates longer than a lightweight stove (up to 20 hours). One or two outbreaks (4 to 20 kg of wood) are enough for one day with a stove sized correctly.
There different types of mass stoves by region: Alsace ('Kachelofen'), Finland, Russia, Canada, Denmark, etc ... However, all these stoves meet the same principle of joint operation, which is to accumulate heat for it back then radiation.
system benefits

• Comfortable about 80% of the heat emitted by radiation and only 20% by convection. This heat is healthy, smooth and homogeneous
• Effective: burning up 90-95% and a temperature of 1400 ° C heat up in the foyer (But leaving the stove only 100 to 150 ° C!) In the wood burning fireplace at high speed and very high temperature and in the upper (post-combustion chamber) the unburned gases mix with the secondary air and re-ignite,
• Ecological : a minimum of toxic gases exit through the chimney.

Alternatives

• The home oven can be used (ideal for breads, pizzas, etc. ...),
• The fumes can be directed through a heated bench,
• A exchanger Heat can be integrated to heat water and radiators and / or wall / floor heating.
