Practical and Technical Questions About Installing an AFIRE Ethanol Fireplace

How much electrical power is required? Any electric outlet will do (from 100 to 240 volts – 50/60 Hz). AFIRE provides a 12V adapter you just need to plug in (like with a laptop computer). AFIRE will deliver the electrical plug appropriate for your country.     What is the autonomy for a device? The autonomy of a device depends on the line it comes from. – BL Line, Fireplace Line: autonomy from 5 to 7 hours – BX, BC and Modulo Line: autonomy from 8 to 10 hours   Besides the flame, does the AFIRE combustion block heat...
Differences between Manual and Electronic Ethanol Fireplaces & Burners

Differences between Manual and Electronic Ethanol Fireplaces & Burners

Design differences Manual ethanol burner This is simply a box. There is no separation between the burner and the reservoir, so all the combustible, several liters of alcohol is being used. This results in the heat emitted is very high and spreads everywhere. AFIRE electronic insert On the other hand, with an electronic insert, the reservoir and the burner are separated. The burner is constantly fed by a pump. It is smaller in size and is isolated from the body of the device. The insert is therefore cold and the burner only contains a few centiliters of ethanol being...

What is Bio Ethanol, Which Type Can I Use In AFIRE Devices & Where Can I Find It?

What is bioethanol? Ethanol, or CH3-CH2-OH bio-alcohol, is a modern combustible made from plants or waste; it is considered a renewable energy source. It is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. When it burns, it produces no odor or smoke as long as it is sufficiently oxygenated in an appropriate combustion block. What type of ethanol should I use for AFIRE devices? The bio ethanol used in AFIRE devices must be liquid with a concentration of 95% to 97%. Attention: gels are not appropriate for AFIRE combustion blocks. Vehicle fuel and any other combustible are strictly prohibited from...
