The storage heating stove quickly explained
A storage heating stove is a stove made of ceramic fireclay bricks. Each stove is individually calculated for the size of the room to be heated. A sufficiently large combustion chamber, a regulated air supply and the burning of the wood at very high temperatures guarantee an efficiency of approx. 90 %. The heat is stored for up to 24 hours and slowly released into the room.
ECONOMICAL – ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY – EFFECTIVE
The very high weight of the firebrick guarantees an extremely high storage capacity. High combustion temperatures of approx. 1080 degrees mean that hardly any ash is produced and the fine dust criteria in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Ordinance are met. Due to the clean burning, ash removal is only necessary 2 to 3 times a year, the wood consumption is approx. 2.5 – 6 m³ of firewood per winter.
COZY WARMTH
Storage heating stoves are a healthy source of heat for people. They do not dry out the room climate and do not stir up dust, which is a problem for many allergy sufferers. The radiant heat from the storage heating stove heats adjacent parts of the room such as walls, floor or furniture and only indirectly heats the air. This long-wave heat dispersion is similar to solar heat, which is perceived as very pleasant and has a positive psychological and physical effect on people.
A diagram of the storage heating stove
- 1 wood filling per day
- Very high storage capacity
- Ash removal only 2 – 3 times per heating period
- Hardly any air-dust movement
- Also recommended for asthma and allergies
- Efficiency of up to 90
- Fulfills the fine dust criteria
The conventional warm air oven in comparison
- High wood consumption due to continuous burning
- Low storage capacity
- Frequent ash removal necessary
- High air-dust movement (80% convection)
- Hot, dry air
- Throttled combustion air leads to greater environmental pollution
FAQ OFENkundig
- How much heat should my storage heating stove provide?
The heat output depends on the heat requirement. This is determined on the basis of the room size and the energy status of the building. The unit of output for storage heating stoves is the size of the heating surface in square meters. The energy is stored and emitted as radiant heat over 12 to 24 hours. For example, an output of over 30 KW of heat for the entire day is generated from 10 kg of wood.
For comparison: a wood-burning stove has a higher output per hour, on average up to 8 KW, which is emitted as radiant heat. This can cause rooms to overheat. The windows are then often opened. - How much wood do I need to fire a storage heating stove and how much can I save?
The amount of wood varies depending on the output. As a rule, between 5 and 16 kg of wood is required for one burn. Burning can also be done in two stages, so that 3 to 8 kg of wood are required each time. - How does cleaning the stove work and how often should it be carried out?
Cleaning is rarely necessary, provided the combustion is good. A general cleaning is usually every 10 years. - Can problems occur if I have a cellar or underfloor heating and want to install the stove?
No, there are tried and tested solutions for both building situations. The answer here is always individual. We will be happy to advise you. - What is the BimSchV II and what significance does it have for the operation of a stove?
In Germany BimSchV II stands for the „Ordinance on the Approval of Installations under the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchV)“ and regulates the protection against harmful environmental effects in Germany, including those caused by air pollution. As the storage heating stove burns highly efficiently with very low emissions, it has been tested and meets the requirements of the BimSchV II ordinance. - What advantages do basic and storage stoves offer compared to other heating systems?
Firstly, the comfortable heat quality in the form of radiant heat, and secondly the economic aspect that the wood heat energy can be utilized for a long time in the storage tank and does not fizzle out in the chimney. For people with allergies and those sensitive to house dust, the storage heating stove is a blessing, as there is no air circulation or turbulence. - What materials are used to build wood-burning and storage stoves?
We use the very best fireclay, which can store heat for a long time. Aerated concrete can also be used for add-on parts, such as a stove bench. - What does our stove installation service include?
The service includes advice, planning, registration, construction and initial commissioning of a storage heating stove. - What savings can I expect if I build my stove myself?
You can save up to 30% if you do it yourself, depending on which trades are undertaken. - What skills or tools do I need to use a do-it-yourself stove kit?
Manual skills, a love of bricklaying/plastering and a little patience are good prerequisites. We provide a tool list with every construction project. - Do you offer training or instructions on how to build a stove with your self-assembly kit?
Yes, we have stove installation instructions and building plans. - Are there any guarantees or support after the purchase of a self-build stove kit?
Yes, we guarantee the functioning of the storage heating stove through our design and planning. We will support you by phone/WhatsApp/email … so that you always have the certainty that you are building correctly. - Can I adapt your self-build stove kit to my individual needs?
Yes/No. The technical function, i.e. the combustion chamber and the flues, are predefined. The outer shape can be customized. We are happy to provide inspiration. - Are there any specific legal or structural requirements for the installation of a stove?
Yes, a storage heating stove is a structural installation that must be registered with the district chimney sweep. As a stove builder, we take care of this. The chimney sweep carries out the operational approval on the basis of our stove planning. - Can you help me choose the right stove for my premises?
Yes, with pleasure! Please take a look at our reference stoves for an initial guide. - Are there environmental aspects or ecological advantages to using basic and storage stoves?
Storage heating stoves have a higher energy efficiency than conventional wood-burning stoves. They can store and release heat over a longer period of time, which leads to a more efficient use of the sustainable and CO2-neutral fuel wood. - What safety precautions should be taken when operating a stove?
Safe burning includes choosing the right wood fuel and keeping a safe distance from combustible materials. - Do you also offer renovations or repairs for existing stoves?
Yes, as long as it is a storage heating stove. - What costs are associated with the purchase and installation of a stove?
A storage heating stove is a custom-made product. The cost of a storage heating stove is therefore difficult to quantify. As a rule, most projects cost between 10,000 and 20,000 euros. - How long does it take on average to install or build a stove?
The average construction time of our stove installers is between 5-7 working days. - What designs or styles of basic and storage stoves do you offer?
We have three styles 1. cubic, modern 2. organic, round 3. traditional. As the storage heating stove is individually set, the styles can be mixed and also reinterpreted.
