Talking about the types of fireplaces by roasting fire in winter.

In the cold winter, the family sat around the fireplace, warming themselves and talking about homely and warm pictures. Fireplaces, most of which have only been seen on TV, seem a little far from our lives. However, with the development of society, the improvement of people's living standards and the change of life concepts, more and more Chinese and western integration has emerged. Fireplaces are no longer only available in Europe and America, but can also be found in some families in China. This article will tell you the type of fireplace and find the one that suits you.

A, fireplace core according to the fuel points:

1. True fire fireplace (wood burning, carbon burning or wood core particles)

2. Gas fireplace

3. Electric fireplace

Remarks: Wood is the most traditional fireplace burning material, and gas is a reliable and simple fuel. At present, the gas burning device can control the temperature of the whole room with a thermostat just like an air conditioner. Wood-core particles are an environmentally friendly and energy-saving combustion material popular in Europe and America in recent ten years. Its main components are sawdust, crop stalks and nut shells, which are crushed and extruded, and dehumidified during the treatment to achieve smoke-free degree.

Electric fireplace directly uses the power supply at home as the energy supply for heat energy and watching flames.

Wood-burning fireplaces and smoke need a certain vertical distance to be discharged, so chimneys are generally needed, but balanced fireplaces don't need chimneys, and the flue of fireplaces can directly lead to the back or side walls, so apartments can also be installed.

The gas fireplace uses natural gas or liquefied gas as the burning raw material, and the wood uses ceramic fiber as the main raw material, which is red and hot when burning, but never exhausts. Wood-burning fireplace uses sawdust, waste newspapers, etc. As a raw material for combustion, it burns fully and has almost no dust and smoke, which is very environmentally friendly.

Comparatively speaking, wood-burning fireplace and gas fireplace have better thermal energy effect, which is more suitable for people who want to keep warm and decorate, but wood-burning fireplace feels more classical; The electric fireplace is very convenient to install. Just like an electric heater, it has a certain power, but it has a small range of heat energy and is cheap. It is more suitable for people who want to decorate the fireplace. Among these fireplaces, the electric fireplace is the most convenient, cheapest and safest. The average market price is only a few thousand yuan, and the cheapest is only a few hundred yuan, which is most suitable for ordinary families.

(1), the characteristics of electric fireplace

A, ornamental and practical: vivid flame adds warmth and romance to the home. A variety of styles can be matched with a variety of home improvement styles.

B, environmental protection and energy saving: electricity is used as energy source, without any pollution, and viewing and heating can be selected at will. The power consumption for viewing is 50W-200W, and that for heating is 800W-2000W.

C, convenient installation: one socket can be installed in one space.

(2) Characteristics of gas fireplace

A, natural warmth: the real flame creates a warm, comfortable, romantic and elegant atmosphere.

B, economy and comfort: gas is used as the heat source, with high efficiency and low cost; Through convection heat radiation heating, the heating mode is natural and comfortable.

C, safe and clean: adopt a balanced flue, so as not to consume indoor oxygen, and exhaust gas is completely discharged to the outside; Explosion-proof and high-temperature resistant glass, air leakage-proof automatic cut-off device.

D, diverse styles: luxury, elegance, simplicity, independence, perspective and various colors and materials to choose from.

E, easy to use: the switch and flame are equipped with manual and automatic adjustment functions.

F. Central heat source: connected with a specially designed pipeline thermal wave system, which can distribute heat to the other two rooms.

(3), the characteristics of wood-burning fireplace

A, the warmth of nature: the burning of real fire can better satisfy your feeling of returning to nature and relaxing.

B, low cost: using wood as heat source, high efficiency and low cost; Through convection heat radiation heating, the heating mode is natural and comfortable.

C, safe and clean: the explosion-proof glass panel is self-cleaning and transparent, and the unique secondary combustion technology makes the wood fully burn, and the exhaust gas is completely discharged outside, which meets the requirements of environmental protection.

D, diverse styles: luxurious, elegant, simple, independent, and a variety of colors can be selected by yourself.

E. Central heat source: connected with specially designed pipeline thermal wave system, which can distribute heat to the other two rooms.

Second, according to the distance of the stove.

1. Closed fireplace

2. Open fireplace

Remarks: enclosed fireplace is more popular because of its high heat energy and clean and hygienic characteristics. The fire in the enclosed fireplace burns more fully in the glass cover, and the thermal efficiency can reach 40% ~ 70%. In fact, it can completely achieve the heating effect produced by the central heating system. The technology of enclosed fireplace has been very mature since it came out more than 20 years ago. For example, in order to protect the glass furnace cover from smoke and dust, many manufacturers have introduced glass purifiers, which use two fixed automatic air valves to continuously deliver airflow to the furnace cover to prevent smoke and dust from gathering, thus keeping the glass furnace cover bright for a long time.

As the name implies, an open fireplace is a fire exposed to the air, and its thermal energy efficiency is only 10% ~ 20%. As a simple heating facility, it may not be ideal, but it does have a strong nostalgia and romantic feelings, which is more suitable for people who are excessively pursuing life sentiment.

Three, according to the structure shape classification:

1. Embedded fireplace

2. Independent fireplace (vertical fireplace)

The biggest advantage of vertical fireplace is that it can provide radiant heat around the stove and use fans to assist the conduction of convective heat. Generally speaking, the vertical gas appliance device is the easiest to install. As long as it can be connected to the flue, it can be installed anywhere in the home. The most suitable room for decoration.

Embedded fireplace is a very attractive installation method, which can upgrade the furnace hole made of brick to an efficient heat source and has a very high combustion effect. All embedded fireplaces will always be the center of your room, and gas fireplaces can provide efficient heat energy and jumping flames. Because a flue is needed, a more detailed installation plan is needed.

Fourth, according to different national cultures:

1. American fireplace

2. English fireplace

3. French fireplace

European style features: interesting curves, asymmetric rules, soft and gorgeous colors, advocating nature, etc.

American: Compared with British luxury, American home is more concise and personalized. While inheriting the essence of traditional European style, it well integrates the special background of the country, including the remarkable characteristics of multi-ethnic immigrant countries. American architectural style is actually a mixed style, unlike European architectural style, which evolved step by step. At the same time, it has accepted many mature architectural styles, which are mutually integrated and influenced. It has the characteristics of paying attention to architectural details, classical feelings, simple and generous appearance and integrating various customs. Compared with British villas, American villas are generally larger in building volume than British villas; American villas have multi-wood structures, while English villas take concrete blocks as the main structural walls. Due to the difference of climate, the sloping roofs of English villas are steep; English villa space is flexible and natural.

Five, mantelpiece by material points:

1. Marble mantel

2. Wooden mantel

3. Imitation marble mantelpiece (resin)
