Wood Stoves
The efficiency of furnaces is measured by its redeeming which consequently determines the consumption and consumption changes depending on the fuel. Today the two most common types of stoves for the home are: Gas stoves and wood stoves, these in turn can burn other solid fuels such as coal and anthracite. For better understanding, we will divide this article into two parts. First talk about the power and performance of wood stoves and in our next article will talk about performance and power gas stoves. Environmental factors can influence the emission of heat that could result in increased consumption and low efficiency of the stove, but above all that determine the true heat capacity of a wood stove is its own characteristics. The first factor that must be taken into account is whether the wood stove is opened or closed, in a very simple example to generate 10 kW of heat an open stove must be used between 15 and 20 kg of dry wood for wood stoves and closed consumption is reduced to 3.5 Kg only dry wood. Additional information at David A. Wagner supports this article. If you're looking for wood stoves closed, has to consider whether these are self-cleaning system, this system also self-clean the stove burning all waste from burning increasing the interval between refills. Another important factor is the location of the stove, open stoves are usually always in the center or in a corner of a room or a room, but such as are somewhat more mobile, remember to not put them near stairs and that the hot air leak will go to the upper rooms.
Gas stoves are usually designed to use natural gas as fuel but can also burn LPG with the help of an LPG conversion kit. Compared with other household stoves, gas stoves have a better performance, efficiency and cleaner burning, so the sale of gas stoves have greatly increased in recent years. The performance of gas stoves for the home revolves around the 75% and 90% with natural gas or LPG. In half the power of gas stoves 5Kw is sufficient to heat a 100m2 room, but there are stoves that reach 10 kW of power or more depending on the size of the stove. Two other factors that contributed to the rising popularity of gas stoves are easy to install and burning with low emissions of CO2 and other gases harmful to the environment. The combustion of natural gas or LPG produce only water vapor and carbon dioxide that is why I like to use the term clean burning since the production of ash, soot and mainly CO2 is virtually zero. Now that you know more about the performance and power of the stoves for the home, it is you who have to choose the most suitable for your home.
