Electric fireplaces with the effect of a living fire are an opportunity to give your home a more comfortable environment without unnecessary costs. What could be better than the dancing flashes of flame on the walls on a cold evening? How wonderful it is to miss these long evenings before the fire in the fireplace, even if it's not real, but so realistic that it's almost impossible to visually recognize the deception! This article will help you choose a standing fireplace, simulating the burning of a living flame, so let's get started!
How it works?
Electric heaters with the effect of living fire in addition to its direct purpose - heating the room, can very realistically simulate the effect of burning a flame with smoke. Those who have seen this miracle heater immediately wonder how this works, because the fire in this fireplace looks like alive?
The visual three-dimensional effect is achieved thanks to the technology Opti Myst, which I use to this day and many illusionists. It all starts with the operation of an ultrasonic steam generator, which produces the smallest water vapor. After it rises above the imitation of smoldering firewood, it begins to illuminate powerful halogen directional lamps. They are equipped with a red light filter, through which illuminated steam and takes on the appearance of a living fire, and it looks so natural that the catch is invisible even when very close examination. After the steam leaves the red light zone, that is, it rises higher, it becomes similar to the smoke from the fire, which complements the picture of real burning of firewood in the fireplace.
Practical use
These devices are very convenient in the sense that they can be used both as a heater and as an element of the decor of the room. The thing is that the 3D effect and the heating function are mutually unrelated, therefore their joint and separate activation is provided. Want to sit in the summer near the fireplace, but without pumping even the already high temperature? No problems! Turn on the visualization mode, and enjoy the "cold" fire in the fireplace.
The configuration of these devices can be very different, ranging from patch panels that are installed on a horizontal surface, ending with panel options that accurately simulate the fireplace focus. Dimensions of fireplaces that simulate the burning of a living fire, can also differ significantly. This allows you to choose a model suitable for placing any size. The variety in the choice of heaters presented allows them to effectively complement the interior of the living room, kitchen or summer house with their help. With the help of such a fireplace you can make an unforgettable impression on the guests of your house. The 3D effect of burning a living fire in the fireplace will give the design of any room a romantic and noble note.
Helpful information
Initially, your choice should be based on the very concept of the unit, because they are a great many. Thoroughly consider the place where the fireplace will be installed, and also analyze how much this or that type of presented devices will be appropriate. Note that there are models even for angled mounting, so take your time with the choice, buy carefully
It should be understood that this category of heaters is more decorative than practical, so you should not choose a fireplace with a power of more than 130 watts. This capacity for heating the comfort zone in front of the device is quite enough, and more of it should not be expected in this regard.
By the way, thanks to the steam generator this equipment can perform the functions of a powerful air humidifier in the room. The only significant drawback of this equipment is its rather high price, because for the visualization of the effect of a living flame, expensive components are used, but what can one do about the comfort of its own corner, it is possible to fork out.
