Heating stoves are heating devices whose function is to produce hot water by means of a heat exchanger and thanks to the combustion of an element. They are connected directly to the heating system and therefore can also heat all the rooms of the house through the traditional radiators already present in the house. If we compare a heating stove with a normal stove we can therefore say that it works just like an old gas boiler, but with much lower energy consumption and using a completely natural and environmentally sustainable fuel, such as pellets or wood. Heating stoves have the appearance of normal stoves. They are equipped with a closed combustion chamber where the chosen biomass is placed: around it there is a cavity in which water circulates; once it has cooled, it will heat up to reach the radiators. The excess heat is recovered by the heating fan, which allow to spread the jet of hot air into the environment. The combustion leads therefore to two advantages: the environment in which the heat generator is placed is heated and hot water is produced in a way to be normally used to feed the radiators or the coils of the floor system. In the first case the water will be introduced at high temperatures, in the second at low temperatures. In principle heating stoves are not conceived to replace the boiler and can be equipped with additional kits to serve additional purposes; above all, they can be combined with a storage tank to store hot water so that it is always available at the desired temperature. Next to water heating stoves, the market offers air heating stoves. Their main feature is the possibility to release hot air to the environment thanks to some fans located on the surface. Moreover, by setting up an adequate air system, the heat produced can be channeled by the heating stove to all the rooms that you wish to heat.
Thanks to the heat exchangers they are provided with, pellet heating stoves allow to heat the water contained in the thermo-hydraulic system through the combustion fumes of pellets. As with all pellet stoves, modern stoves on the market are equipped with a digital electronic system with which it is possible to easily and safely control ignition, putting off and temperature regulation. Once the water has reached the set temperature, it is introduced into the system and distributed to the radiators. As for domestic hot water, it is instantly produced. If you decide to install a storage tank for water next to the heating stove, the hot water will be accessible for use even when the heating stove is turned off (in the summer, for example), thus further saving on energy consumption. Pellet heating stoves have many advantages: they do not get excessively dirty; they are ecological, have a good heating power and do not cause waste, since it is up to the user to decide the quantity of the pellet to be used.
Wood-burning heating stoves are equipped with a very spacious closed burning chamber, aimed at hosting the quantity of wood necessary in order to produce the thermal energy that the system manages to process. In order to maximize the efficiency of wood, the combustion chamber is structured in such a way as to divide the combustion into two phases, called primary and secondary. During the primary phase the wood burns thanks to the oxygen taken from outside, which slowly transforms the wood into coal, gas, ash and obviously heat. During the secondary phase, the gases superheated in the primary phase rise to the top of the combustion chamber, where a second flow of air sets them alight again to produce a further substantial amount of heat, steam and carbon dioxide. Wood-burning stoves are also able to bring heat to all rooms in the house when connected to radiators, via underfloor or other heating systems. The quality of the wood itself also influences the quantity of heat emitted by wood-burning stoves; indeed, while dry wood tends to burn earlier and ensures to quickly reach the wished temperature - although a greater supply of wood is needed during the day - green wood coming from recently cut trees, tends to reach the desired temperature more slowly. The best choice is to use both: the dry wood for lighting the stove and the green wood to maintain the temperature constant.
The high technology used, combined with special care in planning and design, makes the heating stoves absolutely performing and safe to rely on. Thanks to the quality of the materials used and the care taken in the manufacturing, result in a product that matches all requirements to perfection, both from an aesthetic and functional perspective, heating the spaces with the unmistakable warmth that only fire can give. Certainly the most used are the steel heating stoves, characterized by the hermetic closure which reduces energy losses and keeps the heat inside the combustion chamber to be spread across the house. Ceramic heating stoves, on the other hand, represent a very efficient type of heating, thanks to the amount of heat transmitted by its walls and the need for less air to ignite combustion. The heated structure channels the heat produced through the outer walls and radiates it throughout the room. There are also glass and natural stone heating stoves, a perfect deal if your aim is to heat the whole house with a real object of design.
