What is the difference between the heating stove/hydro stove and the stove?

Heating stoves, also known as hydro stoves, work exactly like canonical pellet stoves, the only difference being that they can be connected to your thermohydraulic heat distribution system, so the heating stove is used to heat water from radiators or underfloor air conditioning system, thus replacing the boiler.

The operating principle of the heating stove is non-dispersion of heat, which is why touching it will result in it being less hot than a conventional stove. The reason is simple: the stove transfers most of the heat to the water circulating in the heat exchanger, and once it is hot, it is fed into the thermohydraulic system.

The heating stove can be placed in any room of the house you want, as its purpose is not so much to heat the room in which it is placed, through radiation, but it is mainly to heat the water fed into the plumbing heating system, just like a stove but with the pleasure of enjoying the glitter of the flame during winter evenings!
