Advantages of the Equatair fireplace system

The Equatair heat recovery system is the quintessential energy saving mechanism when you have a fireplace in your home. Equatair has a fan that draws in the already warmed air in the room. Next to the fan, there is a dust filter, which cleans the air of possible particles that are floating in the environment.

The aspirated air is sent through a metal tube, 170 cm long, located under the lit fire, in the form of a serpentine. In this way, the air increases its temperature, as it travels through the tube, calculating that the burning fire reaches between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius.

It is then sent by another extension of the metal tube into the room. This section of the exhaust pipe has a hot air distribution range that reaches 230 square meters. In this way, more use is made of the caloric source that constitutes the burning wood in the fireplace, and the entire house can even be heated, depending on its size.

It is important to consider that the Equatair system allows to establish a virtuous circle , in which the air in the room increases its temperature with each new cycle through the fan and the metal tube. In other words, as the air passes through the tube over and over again, gradual increases occur, with which the entire room can be properly air-conditioned in a short period of time.

Finally, it should be considered that to get the most out of this heat recovery system for fireplaces, it is not necessary to keep a live fire all the time, but, on the contrary, you can only keep the coals burning and this will be enough to heat the air through the Equatair metal tube.

Another advantage of this system is that it does not require any type of reform works for its installation. Simply take advantage of the space already available in the fireplace and place the firewood that will be used to light the fire on the device. The system has an elbow that allows you to get around the chimney jam, although it is also possible to drill it, but that is up to whoever decides to opt for this energy-saving means.

In addition, the Equatair system is versatile, in the sense that it adapts to different types of fireplaces , such as more or less deep fireplaces, with or without andirons, etc. Similarly, the fan can be placed on either side of the fireplace.

Finally, it is important to consider that the Equatair system works with an electrical connection, but it is optimized for low electricity consumption: it only consumes 35 W. However, it is estimated that the Equatair system saves up to 25% on domestic heating.

With these Brycus tips we hope we have contributed both to reducing your energy expenditure and saving energy in general, which, in turn, allows us to reduce our carbon footprint, something increasingly relevant to the care of our planet.
