Bringing Down Your Monthly Heating Payments With Wood Fireplace Inserts
With the intention to reduce emissions from wood stoves and to tally with the new environmental regulations, today wood fireplace inserts are used the advanced combustion technology that was developed in both the us and Canada. To make certain more complete combustion of the wood and smokes, a secondary combustion was a part of this new technology to increase the fireplace operating efficiency also to cut down the amount of emission escaping through the firebox.
The popular wood fireplace inserts use two separated preheated path of combustion air, one of the air sources feeds directly into the wood burning and the other one is aimed above the main fire to capture and ignite the imperfect combustion gases that would rather be released up the chimney.
The advantage from using double combustion air path:
* This dual combustion air path synchronized zone and flame patters in the wood fireplace insert
* Minimize the emissions by ten fold when compared to a classic fireplace
* Free up the low levels of creosote and incomplete combustion products, and eliminate the potential for chimney fires.
As a way to allow much of the infrared heat to be transmitted into the room, wood fireplace inserts using advanced combustion technology included airtight, gasketed doors, and special ceramic glass windows. And to allow easy viewing of the fire, a hot air blower used as a way to sweep the window with air.
This new wood fireplace inserts have a better heat exchange property than regular fireplaces because room air is drawn with a fan via a grill under the firebox then sent through a heat exchanger and back into the room at the top of the fireplace. If you want to send the heat to the rest of your home, the heat can be ducted to adjacent rooms while auxiliary fan can send it through ducts.
The chances of combustion products leaking to the house are minimal as these wood fireplace inserts have such little interaction with the house air. For better safety and effectiveness, the outdoor air is supplied directly to the fireplace for combustion and the maze that is used for preheating the air before it goes to the firebox is designed to maintain the combustion gases from escaping. The amount of energy efficiency can be around 50% to 70% in a normal installation and when installed in a major living area with an open view to other parts of the house could be higher. The insert can provide much of the heating needs for the entire house and also can lower monthly heating costs.
The wood fireplace inserts provided the energy freedom. This wood fireplace insert can still operate as heat source for the home even with the power failure. However the heat from the fire will radiate through the fireplace to the house by natural because the electric circulating fan will not run.
