11 Ways To Fully Redesign Your Bio-Ethanol Fires
Bio-Ethanol Fires
Bio-ethanol fireplaces aren't limited to chimneys and can be put in any location. They don't release harmful fumes smoke, ash or smoke.
The fires are powered by a sustainable 'bio-fuel' made from crops that are specifically grown for this type of fire. Using bio-ethanol reduces carbon emissions by swapping fossil fuel for renewable energy sources.
Safety Tips
Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people looking to provide real flame heat to their homes without the need for chimneys or traditional log burning stove. They work on bioethanol, a type of fuel which is an eco-friendly and renewable alternative to wood and gas. There are some safety issues to be aware of. However, with a bit of caution and understanding, they can be minimised.
As with any type of fire, it's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines to refuel and light your bio ethanol fireplace. This includes the distance of clearance required to adjacent burning materials as well as the proper use of fire extinguishing tools.
Bioethanol is flammable and is not recommended to consume it by children or pets. Keep a distance of at 1 meter from the fireplace when using it. Also, ensure that the clothing or accessories aren't too close.
In the event that any ethanol liquid does come into contact with your skin or eyes, rinse them immediately. In the event that it is inhaled you should seek immediate medical attention because it could cause serious health issues.
Make sure you use only the 'eNRG' liquid ethanol approved by the manufacturer. Utilizing other fuels like gels can affect the operation and safe operation of the burner and could cause the manufacturer to cancel their warranty.
A second important tip is not to move the bio-ethanol fire place while it is lit. This could lead to ethanol spilling and ignite in the tank, creating the risk of a fire. It is also recommended to wait until the fire has cooled completely before refilling.
Like all fireplaces it is crucial to keep the fire away from anything that could ignite like curtains and furniture. It is also recommended that you place the fire in a room with adequate ventilation, in order to keep smoke from accumulating and to ensure that the air is kept clean. This will protect your family, guests and pets. You should also have a class B extinguisher at home in case an accident occurs.
Fuel
A special fuel is required for operating ethanol fires. Often referred as eco-ethanol or bio-ethanol, the liquid is added to the burner, and then ignited to form an ember. This flame is what creates heat, creating warm air and adding ambiance to your home.
The fuel is derived from renewable sources, such as corn, sugarcane or cellulose. This makes it a more environmentally friendly alternative than fossil fuels such as coal and oil. It is also healthier than other fuels because it uses fewer chemicals.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces do not produce smoke or ash like wood-burning fires. This makes them much easier to use than traditional fireplaces and does not require a chimney or a flue. Additionally, bio-ethanol fires are more adaptable and don't require to be enclosed by a secure distance, as you would with a gas or wood burning fire.
You can select between bioethanol that is either gel or liquid depending on your appliance and burner type. The manual that came with your fireplace should inform you the type of fuel you should use and how to refill it. Keep any extra fuel in a safe location, away from flammables and children or pets.
Bio ethanol, while it is a greener alternative to other fuels than others, still produces carbon dioxide after combustion. In addition, some critics claim that the crops grown to produce ethanol fuel take resources away from food production. While these concerns are valid, the advantages of using a bio-ethanol fire outweigh these issues.
It is important to check the burner for signs that it has been damaged or worn. Check that the flame openings are clear and free from debris or construction materials. The lid can be opened on the burner and pour fuel into it using a funnel once you are confident that the burner has been examined. When refilling, be sure not to go over the maximum "max line" marked on the burner's surface.
Typically, bio fuel fire of ethanol can last from between one and 10 hours, depending on the size of the burner as well as the flame. Some ethanol burners are equipped with automatic refill functions that shut off the flame and refill automatically when required. This can save time.
Burner
Freestanding bio ethanol fires are perfect for creating a cosy space without the need for an chimney or a flue. Certain models can be positioned on the wall, while others are designed to be zero clearance fireplace inserts that can be placed in non-combustible surrounds, as a gas fire would be. This allows for an built, custom-built, and insulated fire to be placed in a variety of indoor and outdoor areas.
The key to the success of a bioethanol fire is the burner, that is designed to efficiently burn ethyl alcohol, also known as 'bio-fuel'. The fuel liquid is derived from plant byproducts as well as crops including sugarcane, corn, potatoes, rapeseed and more recently fruits, such as grapes, pomegranates and bananas. The liquid fuel is separated, distilled, and then packaged.
As the fuel burns, it evaporates and produces an artificial flame that mimics the heat produced by the real wood or gas fire. The flame is extremely efficient and produces enough heat to heat an average home.
In comparison to a gas-fire, a bio ethanol fire can be turned on and off at the flick of a button, and can be easily recharged with a bottle of fuel. However, there is an element of dexterity needed when refilling a bio-fire since the bottles are flammable. Therefore, it is important to be cautious and ensure that they are cool before touching.
However, all of our bio ethanol fireplaces are rigorously tested by the TUV to ensure that they are in compliance with strict safety regulations.
