[heatingwithwood]

Christian Liesegang:

- For a passive-house you need very low energy output, one or two kW are totally enough…

- For a one or two kW oven, you have to put a very small amount of wood inside and the people wanna see the fire, so then they would prefer to buy a bigger stove. Then you have the problem, to overheat the house, which means you use more wood than you need.

User influences on the emission behavior of wood-burning stoves, lighting, air supply, fuel

3-t-rule: time, temperature, turbulence

The user usually influences one of these parameters

Important points:

Selection and storage of fuel

only split logs, Briquettes

Length and size of the logs

Hardwoods are better than conifers

The water content should be between 10 and 17% by mass

The kind of lighting (The wood gases should always burn completely)

The cold combustion chamber should be heated up quickly

Lighting from above, lighting from below, lighting from the middle

(depending on the design of the stove)

Type and time of stoking the fire with wood

The stacking of the wood (Depending on the air supply to the oven)

adding wood too early or too late

Air settings

correct setting of the primary and secondary air

Location- and weather-related influences

outside temperature
