1. Pro 1 kW heat = 0.4 - 0.9 m³ storage space - depending on the house Dämmzustand
(inkl. Leerraum) (including space)
2. Nutzbarer Lagerraum = 2/3 Lagerraum (inkl. Leerraum) Effective storage space = 2 / 3 storage space (including space)
3. 1 mł Pelletsmenge = 650 kg 1 m³ pellets quantity = 650 kg
4. Energieinhalt = ca. 5 kWh / kg = Energy content of about 5 kWh / kg

Beispiel: Example:

Einfamilienhaus mit einer Heizlast von 15 kW Single with a heat load of 15 kW


= =


5.800 kg Pellets Jahresbedarf 5,800 kg pellets annual requirement

15 kW Heizlast x 0,9 mł / kW 15 kW heat x 0.9 m³ / kW


= =


13,5 mł Lagerraumvolumen (inkl. Leerraum) 13.5 m³ volume storage space (including space)

Nutzbarer Rauminhalt Effective capacity


= =


13,5 mł x 2/3 = 9 mł 13.5 m³ x 2 / 3 = 9 m³

Lagerraumgröße Storage room size


= =


13,5 mł : 2,4 m (Raumhöhe) = 5,6 m˛ Lagerraumfläche 13.5 m³: 2.4 m (room height) = 5.6 m ˛ storage space
(2,0 x 3,0 Meter sollte jedoch nicht unterschritten werden) (2.0 x 3.0 metres should not fall below)

Gelagerte Energiemenge Stored amount of energy


= =


5850 kg x 5 kWh / kg = 29250 kWh 5850 kg x 5 kWh / kg = 29250 kWh
(entspricht einer Heizölmenge von ca. 3000 Liter) (equivalent to a quantity of fuel oil about 3000 liters)

Speaking of fire suppression, we've opted for the newer technology of "Ecaro25" for this new facility.

Ecaro25, like FM200, is a non-lethal gas which performs the task of fire suppression without any damage to equipment. Our facility is rigged with a pre-action water system as well, which means that it is plumbed with water sprinklers, but their pipes are dry. In the case of an actual fire the Ecaro25 system seals the room and discharges the gas, only if this fails will the sprinkler system be charged with water. Building code requires the sprinklers be present, but we have mitigated the risk of their discharge by installing the Ecaro25 system as the first line of defence. It is a very cool system, and serves as an excellent safety net for your investment in equipment.

Break -in fire
A series of three break-in fires are required. The first is to raise the surface temperature of the stove to 200 degrees. Another is to raise the surface temperature to 300 degrees. And yet another is to raise the surface temperature to 400 degrees.

We specialize in all that's related to chimneys and fireplaces:
* Fireplace and Stoves installation (gas, wood, electric) *

How to start a wood fire

by Craig Issod, webmaster@hearth.com - -

I should try to get the advice of some practical man, and not buy any thing with hinged joints or complicated mechanism.

build an efficient low-emissions fire

Learn how to build a campfire in 6 easy steps.

There are many primitive ways to start a fire , but for someone
not familiar with them , I would always reccommend carrying some
type of Fire making machine such as waterproof matches and/or a cigarette lighter
