The workshop stove
A workshop stove is a special stove that, in keeping with its origins, is usually used for heating in workshops, garages, hobby rooms or similar work areas. These stoves are designed to be robust and efficient to provide a reliable and fast source of heat in often harsh and uninsulated environments. Here are some key features of a workshop oven:
Robustness: workshop ovens are usually made from tough materials such as cast iron or steel to withstand the harsh conditions found in workshops.
Heat output: They offer a high heat output to effectively heat even larger or poorly insulated rooms.
Ease of use: Workshop ovens are often designed to be easy to use and maintain, as they require regular cleaning and refuelling.
Workshop stoves are a practical solution for keeping working environments warm and comfortable, especially in the colder months.
What makes the Bullerjan Free Flow such a good workshop stove?
The Bullerjan Free Flow is a highly valued workshop stove due to its unique design features and performance. Here are some reasons why the Bullerjan Free Flow is considered an outstanding workshop stove:
Efficient heat distribution: the Bullerjan Free Flow has an innovative convection system. The special design with the characteristic pipe bends ensures that cold air is drawn in from below, heated and released into the room as warm air. This enables rapid and even heat distribution.
High heat output: Thanks to its robust construction and efficient combustion, the Bullerjan Free Flow can heat large rooms effectively. It is particularly suitable for workshops and other large, poorly insulated rooms.
Durability and robustness: Made from high quality steel, the Bullerjan Free Flow is extremely durable and resistant to the harsh conditions of a workshop.
Easy to use and maintain: The Bullerjan FreeFlow is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy to operate and maintain. Refuelling and cleaning are uncomplicated and require little effort.
Low fuel consumption: Due to its efficient combustion and high heat output, the Bullerjan Free Flow requires less fuel than many other stoves, resulting in cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint.
These features make the Bullerjan Free Flow an excellent workshop stove, providing reliable and efficient heat in many workshops and workspaces.
The Bullerjan® Free Flow
The Free Flow is an extremely efficient, reliable, safe and durable heating appliance. Unchanged in its functional form for over 40 years, it remains the benchmark for a pure warm air stove. The incorrigible shape of this fully-fledged wood-burning stove ensures that rooms are heated quickly and evenly. Thanks to the high-quality vermiculite lining, the Free Flow fulfils all emission requirements in Germany and Europe.
Main features and design
For 40 years, this stove has epitomised a high-performance hot air and convection stove. The nominal heat outputs range from 6.8 kW (type 00) to 10 kW (type 01) and 14.2 kW (type 02) up to 20 and 30 kW (series FF18, details in separate folder). With an efficiency of up to 81 per cent, it offers very high efficiency. The stove is available with a wide range of thermal insulation panelling, including steel, stainless steel and glass. Handmade storage ceramics, manufactured in Germany, are available for types 00 and 01 in various glazes, which expands functional and design options. There are different handle variants, optionally made of chrome-plated steel, brass or wood. Various pedestal options are also available.
Function and quality - Made in Germany
A Bullerjan Free Flow workshop stove is characterised by modern, efficient and patented combustion technology. This fulfils the highest standards and is fully approvable. The robust combustion chamber is made of bent steel tubes, which ensures durability and stability. A high-quality vermiculite lining ensures optimum thermal insulation and increases the efficiency of the stove.Thanks to the effective window purging, the viewing window remains clean, allowing a clear view of the flames. The precise air supply control allows easy control of the stove and ensures an optimum flame pattern. When the product is registered, the guarantee on the stove body is extended to five years, providing additional security. Comprehensive service from Bullerjan dealers or Bullerjan customer service is available to provide support and advice if required.
These features make the Bullerjan Free Flow particularly suitable as a workshop stove. Its efficiency and high heat output, combined with a robust construction and versatile customisation options, make it the ideal choice for workshops and similar work areas.
Wood as a fuel
Wood is an excellent fuel for a number of reasons:
- Renewable resource
Wood is a renewable resource. In contrast to fossil fuels such as coal and oil, which take millions of years to form, wood can grow again relatively quickly, provided that sustainable forestry is practised. - Carbon neutrality
When wood is burnt, only as much CO₂ is released as the tree absorbed during its growth. This makes wood a more climate-friendly fuel, provided that the forests are managed sustainably and the trees that are cut down are replaced by new ones. - Availability
Wood is readily available in many regions of the world. It can be sourced and processed locally, reducing transport costs and the environmental footprint. - Energy efficiency
Wood has a high calorific value. Well-dried wood can be burnt very efficiently, providing a considerable amount of heat. Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces are often designed to optimise the use and distribution of heat. - Wide range of applications
Wood can be used in various forms - as logs, wood pellets or wood briquettes. This offers flexibility in application and enables use in various heating systems, from traditional wood-burning stoves to modern pellet heating systems. - Costs
In many regions, wood is a cost-effective source of heating, especially if it is produced and sourced locally. It can often be cheaper than fossil fuels. - Environmentally friendly
Wood burns cleaner than many fossil fuels. Modern wood-burning stoves and heating systems are designed to operate with low emissions and minimise pollutants. - Contribution to the local economy
Using wood as a fuel can create local jobs and support the economy, especially in rural areas. Forestry, wood processing and the sale of firewood offer numerous employment opportunities. - Simple storage
Wood is relatively easy to store. It does not require a special tank or complex infrastructure, as is the case with liquid or gas fuels. A dry storage area is sufficient to store wood for long periods of time.
Wood is a sustainable, efficient and versatile fuel that is both ecologically and economically beneficial. These characteristics make wood an ideal choice for heating systems, especially in regions with abundant wood resources.
Hot air stove principle
A warm air stove is a heating appliance that has been specially developed to heat the air in a room and thus ensure rapid and even heat distribution. Here are some key features and functions of a warm air stove:
- Operating principle: A warm air stove heats the air through direct or indirect contact with a heat source. This heated air rises and ensures an even distribution of heat in the room through convection.
- Convection system: Many warm air stoves, such as the Bullerjan Free Flow, utilise a convection system in which cold air enters the lower part of the stove, is heated and then exits as warm air from the upper part of the stove. This creates a continuous circulation of air and efficient heating of the room.
- Heating source: The heating source can vary and includes firewood, pellets, gas, oil or electricity. The choice of heating source depends on the specific requirements and availability of fuel.
- Areas of application: Warm air heaters are particularly suitable for large and poorly insulated rooms, such as workshops, garages, warehouses and also living spaces. They are effective in heating rooms quickly and can often be used as an additional heat source in areas with high heat requirements.
- Advantages:
- Rapid heat distribution: Convection distributes heat quickly and evenly throughout the room.
- Energy efficiency: Warm air stoves utilise fuels efficiently to achieve maximum heat output.
- Flexibility: They can be operated in different environments and with different fuels.
- Comfort: They provide a pleasant and constant heat that ensures a comfortable indoor climate.
Overall, warm air stoves are a practical and efficient solution for heating rooms that require fast and even heat distribution.
