How biofireplaces work

Biofireplaces are a stylish and modern solution for creating a cozy atmosphere indoors or outdoors. They don’t require a chimney, run on biofuel, and produce real flames, making your interior warmer and more inviting. Let’s take a closer look at how biofireplaces work, their features, and advantages.

What Is a Biofireplace?

A biofireplace is a device that runs on a special, environmentally friendly fuel called biofuel. Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, biofireplaces don’t require electricity, gas, or ventilation. Their main function is to create warmth and comfort without polluting the environment or leaving traces of soot or ash.

How Does a Biofireplace Work?

The main component of a biofireplace is the burner, which is filled with biofuel (usually ethanol derived from renewable sources). When burned, this fuel emits heat, water vapor, and carbon dioxide in minimal amounts, similar to the levels exhaled by humans. Learn more about biofuel in our article “What Is Bioethanol?”

1. Filling the biofuel: The fuel is poured into a special tank (burner). It’s important to monitor the fuel level to ensure it doesn’t exceed the maximum limit.
2. Igniting the flame: Once the fuel is poured, it needs to be lit using a long lighter or match. The flame ignites instantly and reaches maximum intensity within a few minutes.
3. Burning: As the biofuel burns, it produces a real flame that creates soft and comfortable warmth. The average burn time of a full tank ranges from 0,5 to 1,5 hours, depending on the fireplace model and the size of the fuel tank.
4. Extinguishing: To put out the fire, simply block the burner’s access to oxygen using a special lid or damper. The flame will extinguish within seconds.

Are Biofireplaces Safe?

When used correctly, biofireplaces are completely safe. However, as with any device involving an open flame, it’s important to follow safety precautions:

• Do not overfill the fuel tank when pouring biofuel.
• Never add fuel while the flame is burning or still hot.
• Keep the biofireplace away from flammable materials.
• Ensure that the room is well-ventilated to avoid the buildup of carbon dioxide.

By following these guidelines, you can safely enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your biofireplace without any risk. All of our biofireplaces come with a detailed instruction manual for proper use, so be sure to read it carefully.
