Overview
The Inside Story On Outdoor Wood Furnaces
With increasing concerns about the
environment and the unpredictability of energy costs, wood is
becoming a popular source of heat for many homeowners and businesses.
As a fuel source, wood is inexpensive, readily available, and
totally renewable. And, burning wood as a source of heat is
better for our environment than heating systems that rely on
nonrenewable fossil fuels such as coal or oil.
You may already be using an indoor
wood stove or wood-burning heating system and you're looking
for a better way to continue using wood as a heat source. Or
maybe you're interested in heating with wood, but don't want
the problems associated with burning wood inside your home or
business.
While burning wood indoors
can mean many problems, there is an alternative -- The Classic
outdoor wood furnace from Central Boiler. The Classic eliminates
the problems associated with indoor burning and allows you to
get even more benefits from wood heat. And The Classic can actually
improve the indoor environment in your home or business, while
eliminating the time-consuming chore of tending a traditional
wood stove. In addition, recent tests show that The Classic
is the most efficient outdoor wood furnace, with the fewest
emissions.
Looks Great: Less Filling
The Classic outdoor wood furnace is installed
outside, away from the home. A water jacket surrounds the
furnace firebox - heated water is pumped to the home or building
through insulated underground pipes.
Water-to-air or water-to-water heat exchangers
or direct circulation conveys the heat into the structure's
forced-air furnace, or radiant floor heating system. This
allows for normal thermostatic control of temperatures for
safe, even, comfortable heat.
How Heat From The Classic Gets To Your Home

-
The Classic can be located
up to 500 feet away from the home or building being heated.
-
Heated water from The
Classic is pumped to the home or building through insulated,
underground pipes -- the most efficient way to move heat
over distances.
-
Depending on the existing
heating system in the home or building, a heat exchanger
or direct circulation conveys the heat into a forced-air
furnace, boiler, or radiant floor heating system. This gives
you normal thermostatic temperature control.
-
In addition, by installing
a water-to-water heat exchanger, The Classic can also provide
all of your domestic hot water, allowing you to save on
your electric or gas bill.
