Fireplaces

As much as I enjoy "Do it yourself" projects, this is probably not one well suited to that. It will be necessary to run gas lines, and possibly make changes to the draft system on the fireplace. This should be be left to a professional from a gas utility service company, who knows the building codes you must comply with when installing a gas appliance.

A fire creates light through a process called incandescence, where the heat causes the fuel source to give off visible light. This is typically due to the presence of hot, glowing particles or gases in the flame, which emit light as they release energy. The color of the light produced can vary depending on the temperature and composition of the fire.

Many gas fireplaces can run on either natural gas or propane, depending on the type of fuel line available in the home. Propane gas fireplaces are more common in areas where natural gas is not readily accessible. It's important to check with a professional to ensure the fireplace is compatible with the desired type of gas.

At first, they may be heated by radiation- heat radiated by the fire. As the fire burns, and ashes build up, they will be heated by conduction- heat conducted (poorly) through the ash to the bricks.

A venous duct is a tubular structure that carries venous blood from one place to another in the body. The most well-known example is the ductus venosus, which is a temporary fetal blood vessel that connects the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava.

The floor around a fireplace is commonly referred to as the hearth. It serves as a protective barrier between the fire and the surrounding flooring and is often made of fire-resistant materials such as stone or brick.

It is not recommended to put an electric insert in a propane fireplace as they are designed for different types of fuel sources. If you are looking to convert your propane fireplace to electric, it is best to consult with a professional to discuss your options and ensure a safe and effective conversion.

To calculate the cost of operating the 1350 watt heater, first convert the watts to kilowatts by dividing by 1000 (1350 watts = 1.35 kW). Next, calculate the hourly cost by multiplying the kW by the electricity rate ($0.07 kWh). Finally, multiply the cost per hour by the number of hours the heater is used per day to determine the daily operating cost.

The floor of a fireplace is called the hearth. It is typically made of fire-resistant materials like brick, stone, or tile to protect the surrounding area from heat and sparks.

You can find Dimplex electric fire flicker motors at hardware stores, online retailers, or directly from the Dimplex website. Make sure to check specific product specifications to ensure compatibility with your electric fire model.

A natural gas fireplace can turn off due to reasons such as a blocked flue, malfunctioning thermocouple, or low gas pressure. It is important to have a professional technician inspect and troubleshoot the fireplace to identify and fix the issue.

Burning logs in a fireplace is a chemical change. The wood undergoes combustion, which involves a chemical reaction where the wood reacts with oxygen to produce heat, light, and new substances like ash and smoke.

Yes, wood burning is an example of combustion. Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent, such as oxygen, resulting in the release of heat and light. When wood burns, it reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat and flames.

The heat from the burning wood below causes the air to rise; the hot air has a density lower than the cold air and consequently a trend to rise.

The fine ash has also a very low density; consequently can be carried by warm air rising in the atmosphere.

So any of the ash that is released from the wood above the heat of the fire will rise until the air cools.

If a fireplace is only being used once a week or for only a few hours at a time, it is necessary to only have a cleaning once evey two to three years. However, if there is soot coming down when opening and closing the damper, this is a good determining factor that the fireplace/chimney is in need of cleaning.

A way to make sure that your gas log fireplace is safe is to make sure the logs fit correctly in the fireplace. Keep the logs a safe distance from curtains and carpets. A glass cover keeps children and pets at a safe distance. Make sure that you have proper vents to release the heat.

First you must figure out if is a vented or non vented gas logs. Also you must inspect you fireplace to make sure it can use gas logs. Most fireplaces can use gas logs so you shouldn't face many changes.

No, a pellet stove insert cannot be used in a gas fireplace. They are designed for different types of fuel and operate differently. It is important to only use the appropriate type of insert for your fireplace.

Firelighters typically smell of paraffin or other petroleum-based chemicals used to ignite and start a fire quickly. Some firelighters may also have a slight scent of wood or other combustible materials used in them.

No, it is not recommended to install a thermostat on a gas fireplace as it could interfere with the proper operation and safety features of the fireplace. Gas fireplaces are designed to be operated manually and should not be equipped with a thermostat. It is best to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for operating the fireplace.

Wood needs heat, oxygen, and a fuel source to burn. When wood burns, it releases carbon dioxide, water vapor, ash, and potentially other gases depending on its composition.

1) heat is evolved

2) it is quite difficult to react

3) new compounds are formed while others react

point 3 is the most important as a chemical change is one in which new compounds are formed.

The metal support used in a fireplace is called a "fireplace grate." It is placed inside the fireplace to hold logs and allow airflow for a better burning fire.
