This way, they deliver most of the heat to a single room. Thus, stoves do not have a covering and leave the evacuation tube exposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On the other hand, the hearth of fireplaces can be a simple metal box with ventilation, also called an insert or cassette fireplace, or it can be a cavity that includes refractory materials, that is, materials that withstand high temperatures without decomposing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Furthermore, in fireplaces, the gas evacuation tube is always hidden through a hood or an embedded wall, thus discreetly distributing heat throughout our home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Other differences: open and closed fire<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span> It&#8217;s not just an aesthetic issue, but a major difference in heat production and energy efficiency.

Gracias a este proceso qu\u00edmico conseguimos un <strong>clima c\u00e1lido y hogare\u00f1o<\/strong>. Sin embargo, \u00bfqu\u00e9 diferencias existen entre estas dos unidades de <strong>calefacci\u00f3n<\/strong>?<!--more-->\n\nPrimero de todo, ambos m\u00f3dulos cuentan con dos partes: el hogar, donde se realiza todo el proceso de combusti\u00f3n, y el conducto vertical, dedicado a dar salida a todos los humos y residuos fruto del proceso de la combusti\u00f3n. Sin embargo, la arquitectura de las dos es bien distinta.\n\nLas<a href=\"https:\/\/carbel.net\/estufas-carbel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> estufas de le\u00f1a<\/strong><\/a> suelen ser met\u00e1licas, de hierro fundido o de acero. De esta manera entregan la mayor parte del calor a una \u00fanica habitaci\u00f3n. As\u00ed, las estufas no cuentan con recubrimiento y dejan a la vista el tubo de evacuaci\u00f3n.\n\nPor otro lado, el hogar de las chimeneas puede ser una simple caja met\u00e1lica con ventilaci\u00f3n, tambi\u00e9n llamado <strong>insert<\/strong> o <strong>chimenea cassette<\/strong>, o en cambio puede ser un hueco que cuente con materiales refractarios, es decir, que resistan altas temperaturas sin descomponerse.\n\nAdem\u00e1s, en las <a href=\"https:\/\/carbel.net\/chimeneas-hogar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chimeneas<\/a>, el tubo de evacuaci\u00f3n de gases ir\u00e1 siempre oculto a trav\u00e9s de una campana o bien por una pared empotrada, de esta manera, distribuiremos el calor por nuestra vivienda de una manera discreta.\n<h2>Otras diferencias: fuego abierto y cerrado<\/h2>\nYa no es solo un tema est\u00e9tico, sino una gran diferencia en la <strong>producci\u00f3n de calor<\/strong> y en la eficiencia energ\u00e9tica. Gracias a un panel o a una puerta de cristal se consigue <strong>aumentar la temperatura<\/strong> dentro de la <strong>c\u00e1mara de combusti\u00f3n.<\/strong>\n\nHablando en cifras, un fuego abierto tiene apenas un rendimiento de un 15%, en cambio una chimenea o <strong>estufa de le\u00f1a moderna<\/strong> alcanza un rendimiento energ\u00e9tico superior al 78%, lo que permite calentar nuestra vivienda utilizando menor cantidad de le\u00f1a.\n\nAs\u00ed mismo, el fuego cerrado genera una combusti\u00f3n m\u00e1s limpia y eficaz puesto que el humo se extrae por el laberinto de tubos. Una chimenea abierta emite 15 veces m\u00e1s <strong>CO2<\/strong> que una cerrada.\n\nEn <a href=\"https:\/\/carbel.net\/\">Carbel<\/a> somos especialistas en <strong>estufas de le\u00f1a<\/strong>, <strong>cassettes<\/strong> y<strong> termochimeneas<\/strong>, ofreciendo un producto funcional, eficaz y acorde a los dise\u00f1os de la actualidad.
