1.1 THE STORAGE HEATING STOVE
The storage heating stove is a fireplace made of ceramic or natural stone.
The energy or heat generated by burning wood is absorbed by the ceramic
storage core. Once the wood has completely burned, this core, as a heat ex-
changer, radiates the stored energy in the form of heat at a carefully dosed rate,
releasing it over its surface for an extended time into the environment.
1.2 THE RADIATED HEAT
The human organism responds to radiated heat with a particularly pleasant
feeling. It is physiologically beneficial and soothing.
Since prehistoric times humans have utilised and enjoyed radiated heat. It
is transmitted by electromagnetic waves in the infrared range. Radiated heat
travels through air without loss and without heating this. Not until it encoun-
ters solid bodies like walls, objects, and also people does it generate heat.
This effect is familiar to everyone from sunny winter days.
Even when the air is very cold you can feel the warm rays of the sun on your
skin.
It makes you feel a temperature that is higher than the actual air temperature.
This explains the great benefits and the sustainability of radiated heat.

FACTS ABOUT
WOOD AND THE
ENVIRONMENT
2.1 WHAT IS WOOD?
Do you know what you are putting in
the firing chamber of your Tonwerk
storage heating stove when you are
filling it with wood
This is 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6%
hydrogen, and 2% mineral substances,
nitrogen, oils, resins, tanning agents,
and colorants.
... that is wood!
2.2 E NVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Burning fi ewood releases only as
much CO2 as the tree has absorbed
from the atmosphere during its growth.
And when the fi ewood comes from
nearby there are no additional CO2
emissions from transport.
Wood rotting in the forest generates
the same amount of CO2 as the same
wood burning.
