The alcohol fireplace is a high-efficiency combustion device with a stainless steel structure. The combustion products are only carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). Therefore, good ventilation is required to ensure sufficient oxygen supply and air circulation during combustion. Smooth ventilation in the area can also ensure the indoor air quality, which is beneficial to physical and mental health to a certain extent.
Bioethanol is an internationally recognized major renewable energy source. It is made by fermenting and distilling plant sugars (such as sugar cane, potatoes, beetroots and grains) and is 100% ecological and environmentally friendly. The use of bioethanol ensures an 85% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in open flame combustion, thereby helping to slow the trend of global warming.
The concept of an alcohol fireplace is different from a traditional gas or wood-burning fireplace. An alcohol fireplace uses bioethanol energy to generate flames and heat. Due to the high efficiency of the fuel, no flue or chimney is required, and no soot or ash is produced when in use.
The ventilation of alcohol fireplaces is also very different. The air first enters the burner and is discharged from the combustion area. This also stipulates the ventilation concept of alcohol fireplaces from one side, that is, it must be carried out from the bottom to the top, only in this way can perfect combustion and operation be achieved. Therefore, you must ensure that the equipment is properly ventilated, and if there is an external exhaust device, it must be turned off, otherwise the natural airflow running in the system will be affected or even reversed.
Common alcohol fireplaces are divided into two categories, built-in and freestanding. Under the condition of maintaining a sufficient safe distance (generally speaking, the distance between flammable objects and real fire is preferably one meter or more), both can bring sufficient visual impact and overall design creativity of the space.
However, one thing that still needs to be paid attention to is that children and animals are prohibited from approaching alcohol fireplaces in working state. Because children cannot perceive and realize danger or other emergencies, children must maintain a certain safe distance when watching the fireplace flames and must be accompanied by users with full behavioral ability.
But even experienced users need to be careful because alcohol fireplaces in working state can reach extremely high temperatures. Therefore, it is forbidden to touch it without any protective tools in such cases. Once the high temperature comes into direct contact with the skin, it will cause severe burns and other incalculable damage.
If you leak or spill bioethanol on the floor when filling the alcohol fireplace fuel, please wipe it with cotton cloth and then clean it with a wet cloth to avoid all possible safety hazards outside the combustion area of the alcohol fireplace. If you spill bioethanol on the surface of the alcohol fireplace, please do not panic and clean it immediately with a wet cloth to avoid ignition outside the combustion area after encountering open flames, damaging the surface of the fireplace and causing other unpredictable property losses and personal safety hazards.
