Bio Ethanol Fireplace Automatic Bioethanol Burner Insert
People often ask about the advantages of bioethanol fireplaces over traditional wood-burning fireplaces.
This is eco-friendly, what is bioethanol?
It is an organic alcohol produced by the fermentation of plants (usually sugarcane, wheat or corn). It is considered a renewable energy source. Due to the neutral emission of carbon dioxide during the combustion process, it is eco-friendly. The so-called neutral emission means that the amount of carbon dioxide emitted during the combustion process is the same as the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed during plant growth.
How to obtain ethanol?
Because ethanol is 100% alcohol, it cannot be sold as it is. Ethanol producers denature ethanol with various substances for resale, and then call it denatured ethanol. There are many sources to find denatured ethanol online, but you may get a lot of sources from the fireplace. Afterwards, you will have no trouble finding suppliers, because they can be found anywhere, including eBay.
Is it difficult to store?
It is not difficult to store ethanol. It is placed in a quart bottle, but some precautions must be taken to prevent children from touching or near heat sources. Garages and basements are ideal places to store ethanol.
What about the flue or exhaust system?
The bioethanol fireplace does not need a flue because it has no vents and does not require any form of exhaust system. However, many people who use the fireplace in a narrow space sometimes have a headache. Generally, ethanol fireplaces emit neither smoke nor odor. Unlike traditional fireplaces, traditional fireplaces will lose 2/3 of the energy produced; bioethanol fireplaces will transfer all the heat to the room where it is located.
Can it be used as a cheap space heater?
An average fireplace uses an average of 1 pint of ethanol per hour. Depending on the setting, an ordinary burner will consume about 5 quarts in a ten-hour period and generate the same amount of heat as two infrared space heaters. The price of fuel will depend on several factors, such as supplier and delivery rate.
Can I move the fireplace?
The big advantage of the ethanol fireplace is that it can be moved because there is no exhaust system. People living in apartments can bring a fireplace when they move.
How difficult is the operation?
Once the fireplace is installed, it is easy to operate and maintain. With the burner in its place, you will fill the container with fuel. You should always wait for the fireplace to get cold to fill it, and make sure there are no flames nearby when refilling the burner. Be careful not to overfill and overflow. In the event of a fire, please make sure that you do not have fuel on your hands. Maintenance is easy and depends on the type and brand of fireplace you use.
Can I convert my old fireplace to ethanol?
Yes, you can buy ethanol inserts for old fireplaces.
Will ethanol fireplaces be suitable for any decoration?
Yes, the designer has done a great job with ethanol fireplaces, and although many modern fireplace designs are possible, you can certainly buy vintage fireplaces to suit any decoration you want.
