2. GARN (company) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GARN_(company)

   GARN pioneered wood gasification in conjunction with thermal storage in 1984, after GARN founder Martin Lunde developed the technology under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy in the late 1970s, along with researchers Richard Snyder and James Buesing. [1] [2] [3] Lunde was awarded patents in wood-fired hydronic storage in the early ...

3. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Some central heating plants can switch fuels for reasons of economy and convenience; for example, a home owner may install a wood-fired furnace with electrical backup for occasional unattended operation. Solid fuels such as wood, peat or coal can be stockpiled at the point of use, but are inconvenient to handle and difficult to automatically ...

4. Wood-burning stove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood-burning_stove

   Wolfgang Schroeter invented the first wood-burning stove with a cast iron frame and glass door. This allowed the user to see the fire burning inside the stove. [16] A fireplace insert converts a wood-burning fireplace to a wood-burning stove. A fireplace insert is a self-contained unit that rests inside the existing fireplace and chimney.

5. Masonry heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masonry_heater

   A classic Scandinavian style round ceramic stove, which fits in the corner of a room, from the porcelaine manufacturer Rörstrand in Stockholm, c. 1900. A masonry heater (also called a masonry stove) is a device for warming an interior space through radiant heating, by capturing the heat from periodic burning of fuel (usually wood), and then radiating the heat at a fairly constant temperature ...

6. Rocket mass heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_mass_heater

   Rocket mass heaters are developed from rocket stoves, a type of wood-burning stove, and masonry heaters. A primary design of a rocket mass heater consists of an insulated combustion chamber where fuel is burned with high efficiency at high temperature, and a large thermal mass in contact with the exhaust gases , which absorbs most of the ...

7. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   These furnaces were still big and bulky compared to modern furnaces, and had heavy-steel exteriors with bolt-on removable panels. Energy efficiency would range anywhere from just over 50% to upward of 65% AFUE. This style furnace still used large, masonry or brick chimneys for flues and was eventually designed to accommodate air-conditioning ...

8. Fireplace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace

   Standard, modern, wood-burning masonry fireplaces though have an efficiency rating of at least 80% (legal minimum requirement, for example, in Salzburg, Austria). [11] To improve efficiency, fireplaces can also be modified by inserting special heavy fireboxes designed to burn much cleaner and can reach efficiencies as high as 80% in heating the ...

9. Jetstream furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetstream_furnace

   The water jacket prevented the upper parts of the logs from burning so they would gravity feed as the log was consumed. The products of combustion left the chamber and passed through a narrow ceramic neck which reached temperatures of 2000 degrees F where the gases and tars released by the wood completed their burning.
