[Stoves] air for gazification

[adkarve]

In the case of water, the flow rate through a pump is refered to as litres
per second. It refers to the amount of water delivered at the pump outlet.
Also in the case of biogas, we refer to litres per hour, when we refer to
biogas flowing through a biogas burner. The distance travelled by the water
or by the gas are not mentioned.
