AEFECC is the only association that brings together manufacturers, importers and suppliers of wood burning stoves, fireplaces, cook stoves, boilers and, in general, wood burning and biomass appliances in Spain.

Air Power

High-pressure ventilation system with centrifugal turbines and speed regulator (control unit).

Airtight

Combustion occurs within a closed chamber, acquiring the necessary oxygen from the outside without altering the oxygen in the fireplace.

Atmospheric power

Heat transferred to the atmosphere.

Axial fan

This is a type of fan where both the motor and the blades are mounted directly on the shaft. When the shaft and blades rotate, it produces a current parallel to the shaft.

CE Power

Average power available from the device, certified in official laboratories.

Centrifugal Turbine

A centrifugal tangential fan in which air is driven by a turbine or impeller, sucking it through the centre, expelling it through its blades parallel to its axis and exiting in a perpendicular direction to achieve greater pressure / speed with less sound.

Clean Air

Technology that ensures complete combustion of all pollutant particles in the flue gas.

Cleaning Access

Easy access to remove soot through a hatch (patented) Easy manual disassembly of the baffles, no tools required.

Cleanout door

They are usually cast doors without glass. They are totally opaque.

Closed stove

Completed constructed modular wood burning cook stove ready for installation.

CO emissions

A value that measures emissions of carbon monoxide, an odourless, colourless, tasteless, toxic and highly flammable gas.

Conto Térmico

An Italian regulation that encourages interventions to increase energy efficiency and thermal energy production from renewable sources for small installations.

Convection

It is called convection when heat is transmitted and creates natural air circulation in any room.

Damper

Rotating cover that allows the passage of air/smoke through a pipe to be opened/closed

Deflector

A device used to divert the direction of the smoke flow before leaving the duct

Double Combustion

Technology whereby the gas from the firewood’s initial combustion is burned again. It provides greater efficiency and life for your firewood with lower consumption.

Double sided

These are fireplaces or wood burning stoves that have glass on the front and back of the fireplace in order to see the fire and get heat from both sides.

Ducting

Channelling of air through ducts

Easy Fire Control

Fire control system that can regulate the optimal combustion and cleaning of the firewood appliance with one simple remote control device.

Easy To Clean

Surface treatment of the wood burning cook stoves with a high-quality enamel. Makes cleaning easy with as little as a damp cloth.

Ecodesign 2022

A European regulation (compliance with which is mandatory starting in 2022) that will require greater energy efficiency in all products and lower emissions of CO, OGC, NOx and other types of hitherto uncontrolled pollutant gases.

Ecolabel

A European certification related to energy consumption. It grades the product based on strict sustainable criteria defined at European level and ensures that the purchased product meets the maximum sustainability requirements

Energy efficiency

This consists in the efficient use of energy. We refer to an efficient wood burning appliance when it consumes less energy than the average energy required to make it work.

Eolo System

High pressure ventilation system with centrifugal turbines and speed regulator (switchboard) to allow different rooms of the home to be heated through ducts.

External Air Inlet

Connectible system that takes air from outside the house for combustion. Suitable for low consumption housing.

Extra Clean Glass

Novel air intake system on the glass to keep it clean for longer.

Fan

An instrument or apparatus with rotating blades that drives or removes air.

Flamme Verte

Flamme Verte is a quality label for wood burning appliances in France. To obtain the Flamme Verte label, the energy and environmental performance of each device is controlled in laboratories, accredited against ISO / IEC 17025 and notified by the European Commission, whose tests give access to the CE certification.

Flow Driving

Hot air bypass system with selectable outlet. It allows for longer ducts and makes it possible to close the air outlet. Includes a turbine control unit.

Guillotine opening

A sliding door opening that pulls up and can stay hidden

Hatch

Entrance that provides access to clean the cook stove, wood burning stove or fireplace.

Heat ducting

Wood burning appliances with heat ducting are those that heat the room in which they are installed and also the adjoining rooms through a duct system that distributes the heat to different spaces.

Heatable area

The square metres heated by the wood burning stove, cook stove or fireplace.

Heatable volume

The cubic metres heated by the wood burning stove, cook stove or fireplace.

Heater

Cook stoves, wood burning stoves or fireplaces that heat water in a circuit to heat the entire house in a more even and balanced way

Inset

Also known as cassette fireplaces, they are an evolution of the classic open fireplace. Specially designed to be inserted into existing holes

Ironwork

Set of iron pieces used to decorate or reinforce the structure of a door or another object.

Monobloc

An appliance, in this case for firewood, that is embedded in the wall in a single piece.

Nozzle

Tubular opening where the air used for combustion in the wood-burning appliance enters in or travels out through ducts to other rooms

Perfect Combustion

Optimum burning technology allowing high combustion efficiency values to be achieved. Consumes less and makes loads of firewood last longer.

Potentiometer

Device with which the wood burning appliance’s power can be controlled.

Power range

Minimum and maximum power of the wood burning appliance or the variance in power obtained from conditions of slow and maximum combustion.

Pure Air

Directed turbulence combustion to reduce particulate pollutants.

Refractory

This refers to some materials’ property of being resistant to high temperatures without decomposing or storing heat.

Retractable doors

Door opening system that slides completely flush with the wall, making the doors disappear.

Safety coil

A hollow, spirally wound tube used to cool the heating device’s tun (tank) in case of overheating.

Screen printed glass

This refers to glass with the imprint of something written or drawn on it.

Silent Mode

A system allowing turbines to be shut off to enjoy complete silence.

Smoke outlet

It is the part of a wood burning appliance through which the fumes are expelled.

Tangential fan

All fans in which air flow leaves its axis in a tangential direction.

Thermal discharge valve

A valve that prevents overheating in wood-burning appliances by letting cold water pass through it toward the safety coil

Thermotte

A material with a high capacity for storage and thermal transmission, besides its insulating properties. It is resistant to high temperatures and is an excellent heat accumulator. Great white finish.

Total heating power

Useful heat released by the device. It is the sum of the heat released to water and the atmosphere.

Tun

A tank containing the water to be heated by fire in boilers

Vermiculite

A novel material with excellent insulation, high strength, aesthetics and lightness. In addition, LACUNZA vermiculite uses the appropriate density, thickness and dimension for each device. This customised design for each project allows for longer lasting fires, avoiding any type of problem. It is essentially a material composed of aluminium magnesium and iron silicate.

Water power

Average power released by a heating appliance (for water) to a heating system.

Workplace stove

Wood burning cook stove requiring on site assembly with heat-resistant materials such as refractory bricks.

Yield

Relationship between the power generated in the combustion chamber relative to the heat felt in the household.
