Contemporary Wood Stoves Historically homes were built around wood stoves, which provided central heating that doesn't have any effect on your electricity bill. Modern stoves can be a beautiful addition to any home. This DEFRA-approved modern wood stove has a contemporary design and a combustion system that's green and eco-friendly. It is rated with an A+ energy rating mark and can reach 5kW of power priced at PS1,900. How They Work Wood stoves are a fantastic method of heating your home. They can be utilized to heat a room as a primary source of heat or as a second source of heating. They also add style and ambiance to make any room feel more warm and inviting. Wood burning stoves create a controlled environment that allows the fire to produce more efficiently and create heat. This is accomplished by directing air towards the fire. This allows you to control how quickly and efficiently the fire burns. This is an important factor in the effectiveness of a stove as a fire which smolders over a long period of time will lose energy and heat into the air. Modern wood stoves help reduce this by directing the air into the firebox in several different directions to keep the fire burning. A lot of modern wood stoves use a catalytic combustor to assist in achieving maximum efficiency. This is a piece of metal, typically circular in shape that sits at the top of the stove, where the flue pipe connects. It resembles a beehive and has pores where the combustion gases are deposited. The gases are then re-burned to release more heat at lower temperatures. Air bypass chambers are another feature that is found in modern wood stoves. These are large flaps that can be opened within the inside of a firebox in order to redirect flue gas around the catalyst when the wood stove is initially started. This can help to start the fire faster, and reduce the initial buildup of soot on the catalytic surface. This feature is present in both old and new stoves, and it increases the efficiency of heating wood stoves. Convection Chambers Whether you live in a rustic woodland cabin or a contemporary prefab tiny house, there's no thing that's more perfect with the outdoors than a wood stove. These time-tested heating devices not only add warmth and ambiance to your living space but also provide a renewable alternative to fossil fuels. Here's how. Modern wood stoves are extremely efficient in energy use, thanks to technological innovation. The secondary skin creates air pockets around the “firebox” or main compartment. The cool air from the room is dragged into the pockets and released at the top of the stove when it gets warm. This allows the room to be heated quicker. A lot of modern wood stoves are constructed of sheet iron, a material that is quick to cool and heat and is more malleable than cast iron. This allows the development of a more robust, sleek, and attractive stove that's perfect for contemporary homes. Sheet iron is also more eco friendly than casting iron as it produces fewer harmful emissions.
