What's the point of choosing a wood-burning fireplace?

1. What is the difference between built-in and freestanding fireplaces?

As the name suggests, a built-in fireplace is a fireplace embedded in the wall. It is also our common fireplace. With a mantel, it can play a very good decorative role. However, because the built-in fireplace is embedded in the wall, the heat dissipation surface is only the front. The surface of the microcrystalline ceramics, so the heating effect is slightly worse than that of the independent stove. The built-in fireplace must be admitted after the water and electricity decoration is completed.

As the name suggests, a freestanding fireplace is a fireplace that is independent from the outside. It can observe the fire on three sides, has better heating effect, and is relatively simple to install. It can be installed at the end of the decoration. Compared with the built-in fireplace, the installation freedom is higher!

2. What are the requirements for installing a real fire wood-burning fireplace?

Real fire wood-burning fireplaces use wood as raw materials, which involves combustion efficiency and combustion emissions. Among them, the role of the chimney is very important!

First, the chimney plays a dynamic role in the entire fireplace system, so the installation smoke of the chimney is installed in strict accordance with the specifications, the vertical height is not less than 5 meters, and the lateral displacement does not exceed 20% of the vertical height.

Second, the fireplace chimney can choose single-layer pipe or double-layer pipe indoors, and double-layer pipe must be used outdoors. This is mainly an industry installation specification formulated from the perspective of the principle of chimney drawing and the safety of use.

3. Is the larger the furnace, the larger the heating area?

There is no proportional relationship between the size of the furnace and the heating area of the fireplace. The size of the heating area is mainly related to the combustion efficiency of the fireplace. The combustion efficiency depends on the design factors such as the structural design of the fireplace body and the air intake control. For real wood burning fireplaces, the following formula is usually used to calculate the power of the furnace required for a specific space: Furnace power (kW) = space volume (m³) ÷ 14

For example, in a closed room with a length, width and height of 5 meters, 6 meters and 2.4 meters, you need a furnace with a power of 5.1kW, which can keep the indoor temperature under the condition of outdoor temperature of 0℃. at 20°C. If the room is connected to stairs, or if heat can be lost through windows and doors, then a larger furnace is needed to make up for the lost heat.
