Predecessors of modern fireplaces were known before the Christian era. Since their construction there have been major changes. But today, this heating device is a traditional stove with an open firebox, which heats the room only radiant thermal energy. And she gives only 10-20% of heat and all the rest goes through the tube. This is extremely small for a full-fledged heating, but enough to create comfort. There are several varieties of fireplaces.





With in-depth firebox type (or closed)the fire boxes of such systems are equipped with two side walls. To improve the heat transfer they can be rotated slightly in the direction of the room or positioned at a 90° angle to the back wall. Closed fireplaces are often equipped in the main wall or attach to it. As an option they can be located in the corners. The rear part of the structure will be deep in the wall, and the size of the protruding part of the portal will depend on the dimensions of the firebox.

In addition, for the normal functioning of the device requires a large amount of air, otherwise the fire begins to vijoliai room. Therefore, the device can be mounted only in large rooms. In strong winds there is a high probability of occurrence in the room of carbon monoxide due to the occurrence of backdraft in the chimney.
