Heat Storage

Heat storage is a phenomenon known from the large mass stoves where heat is stored in the stones surrounding the combustion chamber. Heat storage in a wood-burning stove is the combination of the wood-burning stove's ability to quickly and comfortably distribute the convection heat and the mass stove's ability to store the heat.

As something entirely new, the HWAM 3500 Series is designed with a heat storage compartment. The compartment can be filled with a large amount of soapstone. Soapstone has a special ability to store heat from the wood-burning stove, which will then slowly be emitted into the room, even long after the fire has died. This way the advantages of the convection heat of the wood-burning stove and the heat storage of the mass stove can be enjoyed at the same time - enveloped in the stylish HWAM design.

While the wood-burning stove is burning, the soapstone in the heat storage compartment will be heated up. Once the fire in the combustion chamber has died, the soapstone will continue emitting the stored heat into the room. Tests show that soapstone in the small heat storage compartment (HWAM 3510 and HWAM 3520) will keep warm for up to 10 hours, whereas soapstone in the large storage compartment (HWAM 3530) will keep warm for up to 14 hours after the last stoking.

As an extra feature, the HWAM 3500 Series has a knob which regulates the convection air to the heat storage compartment. When the convection damper is closed, the heat stored in the soapstone will be retained in the heat storage compartment for as long as possible; once the damper is opened, the heat will be distributed to the room as quickly as possible.
