Bio-Ethanol Fires

Safety Tips

Ethanol fireplaces are an excellent alternative for those looking to add real flame warmth to their home without the need to use an old-fashioned log-burning stove or chimney.

However, with a bit of caution and knowledge, they can be minimised.

It is essential to follow manufacturer's instructions for refuelling your bio ethanol fire and lighting it. This includes the clearance distances to nearby materials that are combustible and the proper use of equipment for extinguishing fires.

Bioethanol is highly flammable, and it should not be consumed by pets or children. When using a fireplace, maintain a distance of at most 1 metres and make sure that any clothes or accessories aren't too close to it.

If any ethanol liquid does come into contact with skin or eyes, wash immediately. If it is inhaled you should seek immediate medical attention as it can cause serious health conditions.

Make sure to use the ethanol burner only with the approved 'e-NRG liquid ethanol. Utilizing other fuels like gels could interfere with the operation and safe operation of the burner, and could invalidate the warranty of the manufacturer.


A second important tip is to not move the bio-ethanol fireplace when it is still lit. Doing this could cause the ethanol to leak out of the tank and ignite, which can result in a fire hazard. In addition, it is advised to wait until the fire has cooled completely before refilling.

As with any fireplace it is important to keep the burner clear of anything that can ignite like curtains and furniture. You should also put the fireplace in a place that is well ventilated to avoid smoke buildup and to keep the air clean. This will help to protect your family, guests, and pets. You should also have an extinguisher of class B at home in the event an accident occurs.

Fuel

Ethanol fires require a special fuel to function. The liquid, also referred to as ecoethanol or bio-ethanol, is poured in the burner and ignited to create a flame. The flame creates heat, creating warm air and adding ambience to your home.

The fuel is made from renewable resources, like sugarcane, corn or cellulose. This makes it an environmentally friendly alternative than fossil fuels like coal or oil. traditional bioethanol fireplace is also more healthy than other fuels as it requires less chemicals.

Some critics also assert that crops grown to produce ethanol fuel can divert resources for food production. While these concerns are valid, the benefits of using a bioethanol fire outweigh these issues.

Before refilling a bio-ethanol fuel it is essential to inspect the burner for signs of damage or wear. Make sure the flame opening is clean and free of any debris or construction material. When you're satisfied that the burner is in good shape then open the lid and pour the fuel into the burner via a funnel. Be sure to not exceed the "max line" on the burner's surface when refilling.

A typical fill of ethanol can last from between one and 10 hours, dependent on the size of the burner and the flame. Certain ethanol burners come with automatic refill functions that shut off the flame and automatically refuel when needed and save time.

Burner

Freestanding bio-ethanol fires are ideal for creating a warm and cozy space without the requirement for a chimney or flue. They also have a wide range of applications and some models are able to be mounted into a wall, whereas others are made to be zero-clearance fireplace inserts that can be inserted into non-combustible surrounds in the same way that a gas fire would. This allows an entirely built, custom-built, and insulated fire to be placed in a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The key to the success of a bio ethanol fire is the burner, that is designed to effectively burn ethyl alcohol, also known as 'bio-fuel'. The liquid fuel is derived from plants such as sugarcane, corn and rapeseed. It's also derived from grapes, potatoes the pomegranates and bananas. The liquid fuel is then distilled, filtered and packaged.

As the fuel burns it will vaporize and produce a fake flame that mimics warmth produced by real wood or gas fireplaces. This flame is extremely efficient and can provide enough heat to heat an average home.

In contrast to a gas flame, a bio ethanol fire can be turned on and off with the flick of a switch, and can be easily recharged with a bottle of fuel. The fuel bottles can be flammable, and you need to be careful when refilling the bio-fire.
