What are the types of fireplaces

In many American movies can be seen in the fireplace, before more to heating as the main purpose, but now more of a decorative effect. So what are the types of fireplaces? How should modern families choose? Next I will give you an introduction.

A, fireplace introduction

Fireplace, independent or on the wall masonry indoor heating equipment, combustible as energy, the internal up through the chimney. Originally from the Western home or palace heating facilities. Because of its fuel for renewable resources, to modernize and improve, is still commonly used in the West, especially in the advocate of environmental protection concept of higher education class is popular. Fireplace is divided into open and closed two kinds, the latter thermal efficiency is much higher.

Second, the fireplace classification

1. coal-fired type

In Europe and the United States has completely abandoned the type of combustion material collection and storage are very difficult, non-closed combustion, the formation of exhaust particles, combustion is not sufficient. Pollution of the environment and harm to the human body.

2. Wood-burning type

Called wood-burning fireplace (Wood Stove) monolithic buildings and villa owners to use the mainstream products, compared with the traditional fireplaces, modern wood-burning fireplaces have been greatly improved,

the use of closed combustion chambers and the secondary combustion technology, and you can use a new type of environmentally friendly special charcoal, the use of low-cost, high calorific value, combustion and clean emissions, is the most natural, romantic heating, the most natural, romantic, the most natural, romantic, and the most natural, romantic, and the most natural, romantic, and the most natural, romantic heating. It is the most natural and romantic way of heating.

Masonry fireplace is the highest efficiency in the application of wood-burning fireplaces, the Russian fireplace efficiency of up to 90%, far more than the efficiency of any one heating method. Fireplace combustion temperature is extremely high, can be low temperature combustion does not open to avoid the production of smoke all burned up, emitting very little particulate matter. In the United States the four most stringent environmental requirements of the region, Washington, Colorado and other places to prohibit the burning of wood in the region, the fireplace is allowed to use the efficient heating facilities.

3. Wood-burning Pellet Type

Called Pellet Stove (Pellet Stove) is suitable for families in areas where there is no gas supply. Wood pellets are wood chips processed with a combustion aid. It must be operated with electricity, and pellet fuel used to be purchased from a very small number of manufacturers due to the small number of pipelines and the high price.

But Europe has been standardized pellets, wood pellets standard EN14961-2, there are many supporting factory production, the domestic no less than a dozen factory production and sales.

4. gas type

Artificial gas due to its very low combustion value, to produce the same amount of heat is required to double the cost of expenditure, and therefore is not suitable as a fireplace gas source, Europe and the United States has never been a factory production and use. Natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas fireplace use low cost, hygiene and convenient, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas can be easily interchangeable. Natural balanced gas fireplace safety/thermal efficiency/application of the highest rate, the best decorative effect, to become a common apartment and non-detached buildings widely used products

5. Alcohol-burning type

called alcohol fireplaces, due to the combustion of alcohol fireplace fuel is smokeless, odorless, non-toxic, and does not require any utilities (wood, gas, coal, electricity) in terms of the supply of fuel, which makes it Suitable for any building environment (clubs, hotels, villas, apartments, offices, homes and other environments).

Because it is fueled by a renewable, modern energy source (denatured ethanol-paste alcohol) that burns cleanly, it is virtually maintenance-free.

The above is the information I gave you about the fireplace, in fact, for many small families are not practical, and not safe enough. You can consider the floor heating heating or central air conditioning, without too much maintenance. If you want to know more information please continue to pay attention.
