If the inflation time:
* 2 seconds = 37 L / s (75 cfm)
* 4 seconds = 20 l / s (40 cfm)
* 10 seconds = 10 l / s (20 cfm)
If the measured airflow is less than 10 l / s, the stove provides only a small portion of the heat into a room and should be investigated further to determine why the heat does not go through.
