Altech - Technology

With the Eclips series, Altech has introduced a wood-burning stove which, with regard to its burning technique and output, has no equal. A unique smoke guide system is used in the stove, where the smoke fumes of the basic model alone travel a distance of more than 2 metres. Whilst travelling this distance, the heat of the smoke fumes is transferred to the soapstone. This, and the use of a primary and secondary air control system which is controlled by a bimetallic strip, ensure a very high output of 87% (89% for half power) with a surprisingly low use of wood.

The fact that the Eclips series is a very modern stove is shown by the fact that the stoves have the possibility of having an outside air connection which provides the entire air supply for the combustion process (primary, secondary and window aeration). As a result, the entire combustion process is closed off from the room the stove is located in. An extraction fan or a central ventilation system no longer has any influence over the combustion process.

Both the inside and outside of the Altech stoves are made from soap- stone. The large mass of soapstone used in the construction of the stoves ensures that the heat accumulates, so that the stoves continue to radiates heat for 6 to 12 hours (depending on the model, the room to be heated and the outside temperature) after the fire has died.
