The F ireplace . . . An Alternate Heating Source

The winter of 1976-77. already on record as the coldest of the century, along with its accompanying fuel shortages has focused new attention by American homeowners on the fireplace as an important source of auxiliary heat. Researchers at Heatilator Fireplace. Mt. Pleasant. lowa, point out that both fireplace design and their use by owners are critical in maximizing heat output from the fireplace and conserving scarce central heating fuels. Most efficient in heat production is the heat circulating type of fireplace which can produce a net heat gain for living areas even under extreme weather conditions. Under tests conducted at Heatilator Fireplace laboratories, this type of fireplace produced the equivalent of a constant 70-degree <Fahrenheit' temperature in a 24x30-foot room while the outside temperature was 29 degrees ’Fahrenheit). During the test, the fire consumed 22 pounds of wood per hour and delivered heat at the rate of 1800 BTUs per pound of wood per hour, for a total of almost 40.000 BTUs per hour. While overall heat output would be reduced in extreme temperatures, even at 20 degrees below zero this fireplace would produce a net heat gain with a properly maintained tire, according to research calculations. The basic concept of the heat circulating fireplace, first developed by Heatilator Fireplace over 50 years ago and refined since, is the addition of special heat exchanging chambers on either side of a factory pre-built fireplace structure. As the fire heats fireplace walls, the air inside then- chambers is heated and passes through the built-in duct system to the living area It s possible to control the upt-

The recommended practice is to collect remaining ash and embers from a dying fire in a scuttle or ash bucket and dispose of them safely, so the damper can be closed, thus retaining warm room air and allowing heat from the fireplace walls to continue radiating into the room. Generally, a good heat-pro-

ducing fire should be of significant size to generate heat. A fire should consume over ten pounds of wood per hour and should be continuously fed for a minimum of two hours. During this time period, the walls of a fireplace absorb a significant amount of the fire s heat so the fire does not reach its

peak heating output until after that time Ideally, the fire should be fed with dry hardwood, split to a diameter of 2 inches or less rather than the 4-6 inch diameter logs many people burn. This will increase the burning rate and subsequently increase the heat output. Once the fire is burning, the coals and burning wood should be spread around the firebox so the maximum burning surface will radiate heat. Glass doors can also be used as an efficient way to conserve energy and should be compatible with the design of the fireplace unit. The doors significantly reduce the amount of heated room air which is drawn into the fireplace, but still allow the visual beauty of the fire to be enjoyed. Glass doors can also be closed as the fire dies so the damper can remain open while the coals burn out, thus minimizing the amount of heat loss. Another development that minimizes the exhaust of heated air is a system that provides the fire with air from the outside by ducting this air as close as practical to the fireplace opening. This duct work should be insulated, and its air flow controlled with a suitable dampered register, to prevent cold air entry when the flreplace is not in use Zero-clearance, factory-built fireplaces can be placed on a raised structure and outside air can be ducted through an exterior wall, beneath the fireplace, and delivered through a register in the hearth directly in front of the fireplace unit. If the unit is located centrally within the home, combustion air can be obtained from within the surrounding structure in some single-story homes (through crawl spaces for example), or by ducting from an outside wall between floor joists.
