Italian term

Cucine domestiche a combustibile solido ad aria/ad acqua

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation stoves or cookers
These are stoves covered by regulation UNI EN 12815:2006 which refers to:

"Residential cookers fired by solid fuel"

I don't know to differentiate ad aria/ad acqua, as I don't know how these things work and I don't want to buy the complete text.

My text doesn't offer any further information, it's only a list of equipment applying for Quality certificates.

Central heating residential cookers using air/water ....

These are two different heating systems: one heats water to be sent into the heating system, the other heats air that is distributed in the building (forced air).

domestic solid-fuel stoves used for space or water heating

I assume they're stoves rather than cookers. This may not be the exact wording used in the standard, but the meaning will be clear.

The English translation of the Italian standard says cookers, so you might want to use that instead, though my preference would be stoves.

Note from asker:
Yes. I initially wanted to put stoves, but I see the standard uses cookers! So ad aria means for heating the environment while ad acqua means for domestic hot water, I presume.
