Alcohol fireplaces are the most energy-saving and environmentally friendly fireplaces, which can bring users a warm real fire experience. In this article, I will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of alcohol-only fireplaces.
The source of fuel is a big problem in the world. Alcohol can be brewed from starch-containing and sugar-containing crops. It is the most environmentally friendly clean energy source. Natural gas can only wait for new sources of gas to be discovered and put into production. At present, the world’s oil is only exploited for 41 years, and natural gas is only exploited for 35 years. Moreover, these data are based on the condition that the extraction volume remains the same. Besides, the difficulty of extracting limited resources will become more and more costly. It will also rise, until one day, the cost of crude oil extraction will reach a level that no one can accept. At present, the cost of using natural gas and alcohol has been significantly different, and the advantages of alcohol have become more and more obvious.
From the perspective of use effect, natural gas emits a lot of substances harmful to the environment and humans after burning, so it has to be sealed with glass and used in flue. The ornamental value is greatly reduced, and the heating efficiency is only less than 60%. . After the alcohol is burned, only a small amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor are emitted, which increases the moisture in the environment and makes people not feel very dry. While the alcohol directly burns the indoor air, it also gives people a visually warm enjoyment. The heating efficiency can reach more than 100%. This is the real advantage of the real fire fireplace. Therefore, if alcohol is used as fuel, there is no need to install exhaust and flue, as long as the appropriate height of protective glass is enough, and it can even be made into a mobile alcohol fireplace, which can be placed wherever needed.
The alcohol fireplace has a simple structure and low price. Its structure is mainly composed of a combustion tank and a shell. When it is used, alcohol or other liquid fuels must be manually added to the combustion tank, and then ignited with a ignition rod. After the liquid fuel is burned, it is necessary to add new liquid fuel. When the alcohol fireplace is burned out for the first time, if you want to add alcohol or liquid fuel, you must wait for the combustion tank to cool down before you can add it. Otherwise, the high temperature combustion tank will often ignite the fuel and cause a fire.
In practice, if the added alcohol or liquid fuel is not burned out and needs to be left or temporarily closed, the flame can only be manually extinguished, and the remaining fuel will volatilize in the combustion tank, causing waste.
As a kind of easy-to-use heating appliance, the smart alcohol fireplace is very popular, low in price, low in cost, and environmentally friendly. But here is a reminder that you must pay attention to safety when using it.
