*
Energy Efficiency
: capacity to generate large quantities of heat with the least
amount of energy possible, causing the least environmental impact and reducing the
energy budget.
*
CO Emissions
: emission of carbon monoxide gas into the atmosphere.
*
CO Emissions (13% O
2
)
: carbon monoxide content corrected for 13% of O2.
*
kcal
(Kilocalorie): multiple unit of measurement of calories. Equivalent to 1000
calories.
*
kW
(Kilowatt): Unit of measurement equal to 1000 watts.
* l/h: liters per hour
*
mm
(millimetres): unit of measurement.
*
Pa
(Pascal): standard SI unit of pressure and tension. This unit is named after Blaise
Pascal, eminent French mathematician, physicist and philosopher.
*
Calorific Value
: also known as specific combustion heat. Represents the quantity of
heat released when a certain quantity of fuel is completely burned. Calorific value is
expressed in calories (or kilocalories) per unit of weight of fuel.
*
Inch
: unit of length used in the British imperial system of measurement. One inch is
2,54 centimetres or 25,4 millimetres.
*
Rated output
: Electric power consumed by an energy source. Measured in watts.
*
Nominal heat output
: heating capacity, i.e. the heat energy the unit transfers from
energy present in the firewood – measured for a standard load of firewood over a given
period of time.
*
Power output
: a manufacturer's recommendation from tests on the equipment with
firewood loads within a reasonable operating range. This power output range will present
different firewood consumptions per hour.
*
Efficiency
: expressed as a percentage of “useful energy” that can be extracted from a
given system, taking into account the “total energy” of the fuel used.
*
Ignition temperature
: temperature above which the fuel can enter into combustion.
*
Heat-resistant
: resistant to high temperatures and thermal shock.
*
Ceramic glass
: Highly resistant ceramic material produced through controlled
crystallisation of vitreous materials. Used widely in industrial applications.
*
W (Watt):
SI unit of power.
