The device and the principle of bio-fireplace work
Automatic bio-fireplace is a heat-generator device, which combines the areas of heat production and technological process. Its workspace (fireplace for fireplace) is fenced off by a fireplace portal equipped with built-in burners. Heat is produced by burning biofuel - ethanol.
A bio fireplace can be described as an improved type of a conventional fireplace, distinguished by its ecological compatibility and the fact that it can be installed in ordinary apartments with an area of at least 25 square meters. m.
The bio-fireplace is built into the niche of the wall.

Unlike conventional fireplaces, firewood for a fireplace is not needed. As a material for ignition and flame, a special substance is used - ethanol. Biofuel is poured into the burner of the device and ignited with a lighter. Just a few seconds, yellow flames appear, which will become even more noticeable after the temperature rises.
The fireplace can work for about 4 - 5 hours. After the fuel liquid runs out, it will quickly turn off. If you want the heat source to continue its work, you need to wait about 5 minutes (before the burner has cooled down), and then refill the biofuel.
If the flame is still burning well, and you are going to go to bed or plan to leave the house, just close the lid with the lid. After stopping access to oxygen, it turns off. The remaining filler can be used the next time, adding a little more ethanol, so that the burner can be quicker to ignite.
Due to the fact that the bio-fireplace fuel used is a pure product, no soot or soot is generated during the operation of the device. Therefore, you can easily plan the design of the built-in bio-fireplace and do not worry that dark spots will appear near it.
As for unpleasant odors, it will not be provided that quality fuel is used. Cheap fuel for bio-fireplaces can have different fragrances. This was repeatedly evidenced by numerous user reviews.
Unlike gas heaters and furnaces operating on firewood, modern fireplaces do not require the installation of chimneys and other ventilation systems. Ethanol is a safe ecological substance and does not emit harmful substances during combustion.
But do not forget that any fire burns oxygen, and therefore the regular airing of the room is simply necessary for its reimbursement.
Types of biofireplaces
This variety of fireplaces is usually represented in several variants:
- wall;
- autonomous;
- insertable.
Wall models are mounted on the wall as easily as plasma TV panels. Their dimensions allow to keep a safe distance between the device and the objects surrounding it - at least one meter.

Two room variants of fireplaces
Choosing a heat generator of this type for apartments, always choose one of two options: a bio fireplace or an electric fireplace. The similarity of these two devices is that they do not require the presence of a chimney. This allows them to be used in apartment conditions. In addition, both versions of the fireplace are simply installed and provide a warm home.
The drawback of the electric fireplace is its dependence on power supply. That is, next to it there should always be an outlet, and in case of a power outage it will not work. Another drawback of the electric fireplace is the illusion of a flame that looks completely unnatural.
