What is a water vapor fireplace?
April 29, 2023How does a water vapor electric fireplace work?
It is the subtle mixture of three components, namely ultrafine water vapor, the light from colored LEDs, and the creation of different air pressures that allow for the realistic creation of real colored flames. Produced by a "transducer" (or fog generator), ultrasounds are mechanical waves that will vibrate water (inaudible) transforming it into ultrafine water vapor. This water vapor is propelled in several ways, without the use of convection heating (AFIRE patents) in specially adapted pipes. It is then dissipated into the ambient air and illuminated by different types of LEDs (AFIRE patents). It should be noted that the ultrafine water vapor (only a few microns) is immediately absorbed by the ambient air. The water vapor does not condense and does not produce moisture on adjacent walls. This is often referred to as dry water vapor. This technical system produces cold flames that are so realistic that it is impossible to distinguish them from traditional flames!
What are the advantages of an electric water vapor fireplace?
How does an electric water vapor fireplace work? Now that we understand the technical principle of operation, what are its advantages over other appliances?
1- 100% safety
First of all, we can say that the safety of the 3D water vapor fireplace is total. The flames, in fact, are cold and therefore do not pose any danger. It is also the preferred fireplace of public reception places (fireplace for hotels, restaurants, businesses, etc.). It is also the ideal fireplace for apartments in buildings that do not allow any hot flame in their safety regulations. But it is also the ideal fireplace for families with children who do not want to take any risks with fire.
2- Modern fireplace without constraints
Secondly, we must mention the simplicity of installation, operation and maintenance of a 3D insert. This steam fireplace is without constraints and consumes only tap water. This is a very important advantage when we think about the difficulties of fossil fuel supply. On the other hand, it is a modern fireplace with high-tech controls: remote control, an application, buttons on the device, remote control (dry contact for home automation applications), etc.
3- Ecological fireplace
We can truly speak of an ecological fireplace in every sense of the term. First, because it uses only water. And then because a 3D fireplace does not produce harmful combustion gases. It does not emit unpleasant odors (aromatic compounds related to combustion), carbon monoxide or other polluting combustion residues. The water vapor fireplace element also has a slight humidifying effect, which is beneficial for comfortable breathing when rooms are too dry due to heating.
4- Economical fireplace
Of course, the purchase price of a water vapor fireplace remains comparable to traditional fireplaces. It is important to realize that its operating cost is practically zero. This is a huge difference and one that makes the steam fireplace the most economical appliance in terms of annual cost. We would not hesitate to light a fire produced by tap water.
