How does the air gas mixing chamber of a fireplace log lighter work?

The gas orfice when operating creates a vacuum drawing combustion air into the burner. This is the reason that gas pressures vary between types. Natural gas appliances operate at a nominal 3.5" wc pressure, while LP appliances run 10-11" wc. Natural gas has about 1000 btu's per cubic foot, while LP gas has about 2500. As an example, if you were to reduce the manifold pressure of LPG, you would have an oxygen starved mixture that would not burn properly. lc

If a gas fireplace is on and the electricity goes out will the fireplace continue to work?
It really all depends on the type of Fireplace you have. Fireplaces usually run on a pilot with a thermocouple or thermopile. These produce their own milivolts to run the gas valve. These type of fireplaces do not need power to ignite. If the fireplace's on/off switch is a remote that runs off of batteries or is a switch on the faceplate of the fireplace, then this fireplace should work with no power. Most fireplaces have a blower that circulates the warm air it generates. This fan would be running on 120v from the street and would not work when the power goes out. You may still have a flame on, but all the heat it generates is going out the stack. Other fireplaces have no fan and are mainly for looks. You may have a fireplace that is dependent on the 120volts and will do nothing. Check the operation manual on your fireplace.
