Electric fireplace
An electric fireplace is a heating resistor, which is operated with electric power.
Genesis
The first electric fireplace - the combination of electric heating and optical fire effect - was patented in 1917 by Berry in England and vermarketet as Berry Magicoal in England and the United States. Since 1966, electric fireplaces are offered on the German market. In contrast to e- set fireplaces fireplaces are ready for use, without rebuilding for connection to a combustion technology are necessary. The electric fireplaces are used both as auxiliary heater as well as a space object. Due to the progressive insulation quality of the building and falling demand for transitional heaters, the electric fireplace is now available as a full heating.
Construction
Today's construction in the box principle consists of the frame shape, a frame unit with decorative ornaments, the tile unit, the heating module in fireplace design and an electric fire. The electrically operated fire mimic the effects of an open fire. Older Flash games were still produced by heat and fan with mirror, they are now being special mirror technology, driven by slowly rotating motors in the low voltage range and an energy-efficient lighting unit causes.
Function and operation
When submitting the heat energy in addition to the radiant heat fundamentally two types of convection are distinguished in their function: the natural Konvektionstechnik and heat dissipation by forced ventilation through fans drive. Basis of operated by convection E fireplaces, the heat energy converted from electric energy into the room to deliver. The purely physical function of the displacement of air or convection corresponds to the displacement of warm air through cold subsequently immigrating and ensures the continuous delivery of the heat energy generated in the interior of the chimney. Here are various heating elements, mostly pure ohmic resistors are used. This electric fireplaces are fundamentally different from the principle of operation of night storage heating. There are up to 3,000 W power offered variants of 1000.
Technical Characteristics
Connection options: Fixed connection with set box (like a stove ) and a connector ( socket and Schuko plug ), voltage 230 V 50 Hz
