Evaluation of Wall Protection Systems for Wood Heating Appliances

摘要

Measurements of the surface heating potential of unprotected and protected gypsum wallboard materials in close proximity to irradiating surfaces of home heating appliances have been made. A total of 4 unprotected walls and 19 protected interior wall surfaces were evaluated in tests where stove-to-wall clearances were varied from 7.5 to 90 cm (3 to 36 in) and stove surface temperatures were maintained at five different temperature levels ranging from 150-350C (300-660F).
