The actual Calorifère room is completely walled in and only accessible through a small opening. In it there is an oven , fox with smoke pipe and evaporation pipe .

Fresh air can be supplied from outside, which is done by means of a corresponding slide. In order to avoid excessive dryness of the air in the rooms to be heated, semi-cylindrical tubes are let into the calorific room. They are filled with water and thus regulate the humidity . Flaps in connection with the pipe coils can be opened from the outside and are used for pipe cleaning.
