How a long burning stove works

•  Cast iron for the manufacture of such stoves-fireplaces was not chosen by chance. It perceives high temperatures well, warms up well and cools down much more slowly than other metals. This quality allows the stove to stay hot for a longer time, effectively and evenly heat the room.
• In addition to retaining heat, cast iron is not very susceptible to aggressive environmental influences, therefore it is almost not subject to destructive corrosion processes. This metal has a solid mass, however, it is quite brittle, so it is impossible to make thin sheet material from it, as, for example, from steel.

How a fireplace stove works

• Cast iron fireplace stoves with a long-burning system heat the room not only with the heat given off from the combustion of firewood, but also for check pyrolysis gas that is released when wood burns. The gas consists of oxides of carbon, methane and hydrogen, it occurs when there is a minimum amount of oxygen in the furnace. This achieves the effectkt tfuel, rather than active combustion, which allows you to heat the room with one bookmark of firewood.
• Above the main furnace there is an additional chamber, which is separated by a special lattice, where the emitted pyrolysis gas and where it is burned. On some models on the front wall at the camera level afterburning gas, there is an additional hole for air inlet, which helps the gas to almost completely burn out.
• Bottom main camera — firebox, which is designed for laying firewood, is a lattice — grate, under it is an ash pan. AT German are going waste from burned fuel. The ashpit also serves to launch oxygen into the main furnace.Its flow is regulated through opening the ash pan door to the required distance. The active supply of oxygen contributes, if necessary, to the intensity of the burning of the flame.
