With a purpose to reduce emissions from wood stoves also to tally with the new environmental regulations, today wood fireplace inserts utilized the advanced combustion technology that was developed in both the united states and Canada. To make sure more complete combustion of the wood and smokes, a secondary combustion was included in this new technology to raise the fireplace operating efficiency and also to lower the amount of emission escaping from the firebox.

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

The benefit of using dual combustion air path:

* This dual combustion air path simultaneous 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 with a fan via a grill under the firebox then sent through a heat exchanger and back into the room at the top of the fireplace. If you want to send the heat to the rest of your home, the heat can be ducted to adjacent rooms while auxiliary fan can send it through ducts.

The probabilities of combustion products leaking to the house are minimal as these wood fireplace inserts have such little interaction with your home air. For better safety and effectiveness, the outdoor air is supplied instantly to the fireplace for combustion and the maze currently in use for preheating the air before it goes into the firebox is made to maintain the combustion gases from getting away. The amount of energy efficiency can 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 provides much of the heating needs for the entire house and also can lower monthly heating costs.

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.
