Fireplaces

If you are not hearing or smelling gas when the gas fireplace is turned on, but the pilot light is working, the issue may be with the gas valve not fully opening or a blockage in the gas line. It is important to have a professional technician inspect and service the fireplace to ensure safe operation.

it depends on the fire place. traditional fireplaces loose most of their heat via the chimney. ventless fireplaces loose 99.9 percent of their heat out of the front of the fireplace and into the home

It is not advisable to use a 20 lb propane tank on a fireplace designed for natural gas, as the pressure and fittings may not be compatible. It is best to use the type of fuel specified by the manufacturer to avoid potential safety hazards.

An aerosol can should not be thrown into a fireplace because it can explode when exposed to high temperatures, leading to serious injury or property damage. The pressurized contents of the can, such as gas or flammable liquid, can cause the can to rupture violently. It is safer to dispose of aerosol cans properly according to local guidelines.

A ringing noise from a gas fireplace can be caused by a buildup of debris or dirt on the burners, improper gas pressure, or a faulty pilot light. It's best to have a professional inspect and service your fireplace to diagnose and correct the issue to ensure safe and proper operation.

Fire is not a physical or chemical property. Fire is not a property. Fire is a chemical reaction where oxygen combines with some or all of the chemical components of the fuel, emitting light and heat.

Bio bricks are considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional wood because they are made from compressed sawdust and other wood byproducts, reducing waste. They also burn more efficiently and produce less smoke and ash compared to regular firewood. However, the choice between bio bricks and wood ultimately depends on individual preferences and needs.

To replace a thermocouple on a gas fireplace, first turn off the gas supply and wait for the fireplace to cool down. Locate the thermocouple near the pilot light and unscrew the old one from the gas line, then install the new thermocouple by screwing it in place and reassemble the gas line. Finally, relight the pilot light and test the fireplace to ensure the new thermocouple is working properly.

LP gas stands for liquefied petroleum gas, which is commonly used for heating, cooking, and powering vehicles. It is a mixture of propane and butane gases that are compressed into a liquid form for easy storage and transportation.

Yes, gas logs can wear out over time due to use and exposure to heat. The ceramic fibers or refractory material that make up the logs can deteriorate, leading to cracks, warping, or discoloration. It's important to inspect them regularly and replace them if needed to ensure safe and efficient operation.

A twin-tube damper consists of two concentric tubes with the inner tube containing the piston and valve assembly while the outer tube acts as a reservoir for the hydraulic fluid. When the piston moves in response to vehicle suspension movements, hydraulic fluid is pushed back and forth between the two tubes through the piston's valves, controlling the rate at which the suspension moves and providing damping to control bounce and jounce.

Chimney use to remove the flue gases and smoke from the building and from the boiler, furnace, fireplace, stove to outside atmosphere. Chimney construct as much as possible in the vertical shape to remove the smoke outside easily. Romans used hole in the bakeries to remove the smoke outside but real chimney found in Northern Europe in 12th century.

A fireplace doesn't do much... it is just a solid, primarily made of brick and steel. However, if you actually burn a fire in a fireplace, you are doing a chemical change on the matter.

The simple version is, if something is burning in the fireplace, chemical energy is being converted into thermal energy via combustion.

Chemical energy -> Combustion -> Thermal energy

A fireplace provides thermal energy in the form of heat and light. When wood or gas is burned, chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted to heat energy, which warms the surroundings.

Bernoulli's principle - the pressure on the top of the chimney would decrease, due to the speed of the air.

No. At least not inside. I was told by poison control after I had gotten carbon monoxide poisoning by burning a combination of store bought manufactured fire logs and real camphor wood. It was bad!

The wood in a match can burn at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius (1,832 degrees Fahrenheit).

A coil spring damper is used in a vehicle's suspension system to absorb shocks and vibrations from the road surface. It helps to provide a smoother ride by controlling the movement of the suspension and minimizing the impact of bumps and potholes. Additionally, the coil spring helps to support the weight of the vehicle and maintain proper ride height.

The chimney sweep who came over used a white, abrasive lotion-like substance (probably available at fireplace shop) and spread it liberally all over the glass and scrubbed. Worked extremely well.

Try this:

1. Get a super-absorbant tampon.

2. Get a blowdryer.

3. Place tampon over wax spill.

4. Turn on blowdryer to hot full and heat up the pad. The wax will be sucked in.

Possibly balsa wood. Incredibly light, but not very strong. Check hobby shops for small pieces.

The spark temperature produced by a piezo igniter is typically around 1800-2000 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is sufficient to ignite the pilot light on a natural gas fireplace, as natural gas requires a high temperature spark to ignite.

Not possible to give you an answer, since weight will vary greatly based on the size of the logs (big logs= big air spaces between them) and whether it is dry or green. Small green pinion may weigh 4500 lbs per cord, dry large unsplit wood 2500 lbs.

This is why firewood is sold by volume (cord being 4'x4'x8') and not by weight.

The warmth you feel when standing beneath a heat lamp is an example of radiant heat transfer. The heat lamp emits infrared radiation, which travels in waves and is absorbed by your body, resulting in the sensation of warmth.
