Summer is in full swing, and our sauna is busier than ever. This article offers tips for clean, wood-saving sauna heat.
Heating costs are rising sharply in 2022 as energy prices increase rapidly. This will also affect the price and availability of firewood. The value of firewood is increasing, and as much heat as possible should be extracted from each cubic meter of combustible wood. On average, heating with firewood has been 40 percent cheaper than electric heating.
If you want to extract as much heat as possible, the combustion system and its fundamentals must be in good condition.
Wood burns by gasification. Heat causes wood to release combustible gases, which should be utilized as efficiently as possible in the combustion chamber. Cleanly burning wood produces colorless smoke, which appears at the chimney as nothing more than air shimmering. At its cleanest, combustion produces only water vapor and carbon dioxide, just as wood decays. When wood burns cleanly, more heating power can be extracted from it.
- Acquire firewood in good time.
- Buy wood of the right size.
- Store firewood in a dry and clean storage area.
- Burn wood properly in a clean combustion chamber; do not allow combustion gases to escape into the environment as pollution and wasted heat.
- Ensure the combustion system is well-maintained and regularly swept.
Enjoy the sauna while protecting nature and your wallet – LumoX EkoAir S
The LumoX EkoAir products developed by fire-stove specialist Pasi Sillanpää solve common combustion system problems such as high wood consumption, smoke nuisance, draft and ignition issues, and, of course, reduce harmful fine particulate emissions.
The energy efficiency of LumoX EkoAir products is based on clean combustion, in which combustion gases are burned in the combustion chamber. Patented combustion technology directs preheated combustion air over the combustion process, directly onto the combustion gases. This allows the combustion gases to burn in the combustion chamber rather than escaping through the flue as pollution and wasted heat into the environment. Research shows that a large proportion of fine particulate emissions are burned off. When wood burns cleanly, the combustion process is noticeably calmer. This also reduces firewood consumption. Calmer combustion also uses less oxygen in the sauna room.
During the summer, saunas are heavily used, and the sauna may be heated several times a day. If you heat your wood-burning sauna frequently, could you be saving money and burning more cleanly? The solution is the LumoX EkoAir S, developed for wood-burning saunas. In addition to traditional wood, it also enables wood-burning saunas to be heated with wood pellets.
