How heat is delivered by your stove
10.1
Radiant heat
All Arada stoves radiate heat into the room. The radiated heat is most
intense at the front of the stove and less intense the further you move
away from the stove.
This radiated heat is delivered as infrared rays which heat the objects
they strike. It is then these objects (such as the chimney breast, hearth
etc.) which heat the surrounding air.
10.2
Convected heat
Air immediately adjacent to the stove is heated as a result of contact
with its hot surfaces. This air then rises being replaced by cooler air which
is then heated and rises again.
This creates a circuit or flow of air referred to as a convection current,
which helps to distribute heat around the room in which the stove has
been installed.
