Heating capacity : also known as specific combustion heat. It represents the amount of heat released when a certain
amount of fuel is completely burned. The heating capacity is expressed in calories (or kilocalories) per unit of weight
of fuel.
Rated power : Electric power consumed from the energy source. Measured in watts.
Rated heating power : heating capacity, i.e. the transfer of heat from firewood to the appliance – measured for a
standard load of firewood over a given period of time.
Power output : a manufacturer's recommendation from tests performed to the equipment using firewood loads within
the reasonable minimum and maximum operating range. This power output range will show different firewood
consumptions per hour.
Plumb: The vertical distance to measure the highest point of the installation.
Performance: expressed as a percentage of “useful energy” that can be extracted from a given system, taking into account
the “total energy” of the used fuel.
Ignition temperature : temperature above which the fuel can enter into combustion.
Thermo resistant : resistant to high temperatures and thermal shock.
Glass ceramics: highly resistant ceramic material produced from the controlled crystallisation of vitreous materials.
Widely used in industrial applications.
W (Watt): The unit used by the International System to measure power.
