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 or as a second source of heating. They can also provide ambiance and style, making any room feel more welcoming and warm. The wood burning stoves create a controlled space that allows the fire to produce more efficiently and create heat.
They do this by directing air over the fire, which assists to control how quickly and effectively it burns. This is a major aspect in the overall efficiency of a wood stove since the fire that burns too long is unable to provide energy and heat to the atmosphere. Modern wood stoves help to reduce this by directing the air inside the firebox in various directions to keep the fire burning.
Many modern wood stoves also use a catalytic combustor to aid in the process of getting the most efficient performance. This is a metal piece typically in a circular shape, that is placed at the top of the wood stove, where the flue pipe connects. It appears a lot like a metal honeycomb and it has pores in which the combustion gases released by the wood are deposited. The gasses are then re-burned at lower temperatures to release more heat.
Air bypass chambers are another feature found in modern wood stoves. They 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 first started. This can help to start the fire more easily and lessen the initial buildup of soot on the catalytic surface. This feature is common in both old and new stoves and increases the efficiency of heating wood stoves.

They typically use non-catalytic or catalytic combustion process, a kind of heating that accelerates the burning of wood in your fire. When the air in your fireplace heats up it vaporizes the water molecules contained in the wood which helps to fuel the flames. Then it reaches temperatures of around 600 degrees Fahrenheit where it begins to burn away the carbon and tar that's contained in the wood. This decreases the amount of harmful emissions released into the atmosphere and makes wood stoves eco-friendly.
The Rais Viva L 120 is an amazing example of this, and is an excellent option for those looking to maximize efficiency while keeping their home warm.
