Storage stoves and small wood stoves have long been known as domestic heating systems. However, with the technologies used so far, it was not possible to provide sufficient heat to an entire independent house. The decrease in heating requirements of modern single-family homes makes accumulation heaters increasingly interesting and popular.

Thanks to the improvement of the isolation of new buildings and the modern options for the renovation of old buildings to make them more energy efficient, the heating requirements of the single-family houses are steadily decreasing. And suddenly the accumulation stoves return to be interesting and attractive as an alternative heating system. The accumulation stove, which spreads a welcoming warmth, as the center of the living space.

Absorber technology

The heat generated by the combustion of the trunks is stored by the mass of the stove. It is released evenly in the environment for a longer period of time. The technology of the absorber allows to heat an independent house exclusively with a storage stove. To this end, an additional absorber is installed between the refractory clay core and the enclosure.

The water that passes through the absorber is heated and fed into the network of heating pipes. An absorber is a plate heat exchanger consisting of a plate (aluminum, copper, etc.) with a copper tube closely wrapped on it. Water flows continuously through the copper pipe. The tube is the real heat exchanger. The copper plate serves to increase the surface of the pipe, in order to extract as much heat as possible from the stove.
