Nominal heat output/Nominal heating
capacity
The nominal heat output is the heat energy given off per
unit of time when the fireplace is operated according to
the specified filling quantities in its work phase.
Fireplace dependent on room air
A fireplace dependent on room air removes the
combustion air completely or partially from the
installation room.
A fireplace dependent on room air can be equipped with
a supply line which feeds in the combustion air from
outdoors. Nevertheless, this variant is considered to
be dependent on room air, as the fireplace itself does
not hat the increased leak-tightness to prevent the
removal of combustion air from the installation room.
Schmid masonry stoves are fireplaces dependent on
room air, which are provided with a connection for the
supply of air from the outside.
Fireplace independent of room air
A fireplace independent of room air does not remove
the combustion air from the installation room. The
stove system must meet certain technical conditions
(leak-tightness) and must be approved for this use.
Return line
The return line is the connection side at which the cooled
heating water is fed into the boiler from the heating
circuit.
Self-closing door
A self-closing door falls back into the door frame
(usually with spring force) without any action by the
operator. However, in this position, the door is not locked
or closed and the the door seal does not seal tightly.
Therefore, these doors must always be locked with
operating the stove system.
Safety device
A safety device is a protective system for the
prevention of damage. The function of safety devices
must be checked regularly. On a heating water circuit,
e.g. the thermal discharge safety device and the safety
valve, at least once a year.
Thermal discharge safety device
The thermal discharge safety device is a safety device
which adds cold drinking water to the system at
excessively high heating water temperatures
(approx. 97° C). It must never be locked, tampered with
or deactivated.
Combustion air line
The combustion air line is the component that routes
the combustion air to the fireplace.
Supply line
The supply line is the connection side at which the
heated heating water is routed from the boiler back into
the heating circuit.
Thermal output range
The thermal output range specifies the limits for the
minimum/maximum thermal output within which the
fireplace can still be properly operated. This thermal
output primarily results from the quantity of fuel used
and the quantity of air provided.
Temporarily burning fireplace
The term temporarily burning fireplace describes (in
highly simplified terms) that your fireplace requires
intervention in the combustion process during the
combustion period.
For the term continuously burning fireplace may only
be applied to fireplaces which continue to burn without
the addition of fuel and without intervention in the
combustion process for a certain minimum period and
at a low setting so that the embers (at least as large as
the basic mass of embers before adding the fuel) can be
started again at the end of the period.
All fireplaces operated with a wood fire always require
intervention in the combustion process, among other
things to be able to meet the requirements for Germany
in accordance with the 1st BImSchV and are therefore
temporarily burning fireplaces.
However, the term temporarily burning fireplace does
not specify a time restriction for the operating duration.
Ultimately, the combustion duration is determined by
the quantity of fuel used and the quantity of air provided.
If combustion is ended, the next combustion can also be
started again immediately with the embers. This means,
your needs determine how long and how often you heat.
