If you want to lower emissions from wood stoves and also to tally with the new environmental regulations, today wood fireplace inserts are utilized the advanced combustion technology that has been developed in both the us and Canada. To make certain more complete combustion of the wood and smokes, a secondary combustion was a part of this new technology to increase the fireplace operating efficiency also to minimize the amount of emission getting away from the firebox.

The popular wood fireplace inserts use two separated preheated path of combustion air, one of the air sources feeds straight to the wood burning and the other one is aimed above the primary fire to capture and ignite the imperfect combustion gases that would well be released up the chimney.

The advantage from using double combustion air path:

* This double combustion air path synchronized zone and flame patters in the wood fireplace insert

* Minimize the emissions by ten fold when compared to a classic fireplace

* Free up the low levels of creosote and imperfect combustion products, and eliminate the opportunity for chimney fires.

As a way to allow much of the infrared heat to be transmitted into the room, wood fireplace inserts using advanced combustion technology included airtight, gasketed doors, and special ceramic glass windows. And to allow easy viewing of the fire, a hot air blower used as a way to sweep the window with air.

This new wood fireplace inserts have a better heat exchange property than regular fireplaces because room air is drawn by a fan through a grill under the firebox then sent via a heat exchanger and back to the room at the top of the fireplace. With a purpose to send the heat to the rest of the home, the heat could be ducted to adjacent rooms while auxiliary fan can send it through ducts.

The chances of combustion products leaking to the house are minimal as these wood fireplace inserts have such little interaction with the place air. For better safety and effectiveness, the outdoor air is supplied directly to the fireplace for combustion and the maze currently in use for preheating the air before it goes into the firebox is built to keep the combustion gases from getting away. The amount of energy efficiency might be around 50% to 70% in a normal installation and when installed in a major living area with an open view to other parts of your house might be higher. The insert can offer much of the heating needs for the entire house and also can lower monthly heating bills.

The wood fireplace inserts offered the energy independence. This wood fireplace insert could run as heat source for the house even with the power failure. However the heat through the fire will radiate from the fireplace to the house by natural because the electric circulating fan will not run.
