8. Air supply and combustion
Preheated air
The stove utilizes a combustion technology involving preheated air. The air supply
for the combustion process comes from an air inlet and is then conducted through
ducts in the stove that become warm when the stove is in use. The advantage of this
technology is that the air is already warm when it enters the firebox, so a high com -
bustion temperature can be attained very rapidly.
Startup and primary air supply
Most of the stoves are designed with both a startup and primary air vent. The startup
air vent supplies a very direct volume of air, which only serves a purpose in the light-
ing phase. The startup air supply should therefore only be used when lighting the
stove. The primary air vent, however, is used for air control once the stove is lit.
Startup air is defined as combustion air for burning the “mass of wood” and stimu -
lates production of volatile gases.
Primary air is used to burn off the gases at high temperatures (above 1,000 ° Fahren-
heit (540 ° C)) and to keep the glass free of soot.
For wood to burn correctly, the right amount of air has to be supplied at the right time
and place.
Air circulation when stoking
In the Jydepejsen DuplicAir
system, the startup and
primary air are combined into
one air supply system.
