The electric hearth has now become a very popular attribute of urban apartments.
Electric focus for home and apartment
For the installation of this fireplace requires conditions that do not always seem feasible even in a private house. For example, a chimney and fireproof foundation should be provided. But the electric hearth successfully copes with the task, it will not be difficult to install it in any conditions.
The imitation of flame in individual models seems so believable that distinguishing it from the present can be difficult. It seems that you find yourself in a cozy country house where you really want to bask in a live fire and tell or listen to interesting stories.
There are also electric foci for fireplaces, where the visual effect is complemented by a sound when crackling firewood is simulated, making the technical device even more realistic. In some models, you can find the effect of blue glow, making the flame mysterious and magical.
Equipment
A fireplace set, as a rule, includes an electric hearth, as well as a portal. These technical devices look especially expressive when they are surrounded by an exquisite case, which can be made in a variety of styles: to be with an original modern design or to adhere to strict classics. So, portals made of wood or stone will look like a real wood hearth.
Specifications
Innovative technologies make the instruments completely safe during operation.
The technical component of the device is represented by a combustion chamber covered by a curtain or door. This is a convection oven with a ventilation device inside and a design resembling a flame. All models include elements simulating gratings, a chamber with a fan, a heater, smoldering firewood and a flame.
The sizes and shapes of the devices may vary. However, most of them start from 520 * 620 millimeters. The most common length is 300 millimeters.
Almost all devices have a remote control, thanks to which the power of the work is regulated, the picture: firewood or coals, operation mode and so on.
Hardware Functionality
An electric hearth is capable of performing not only a decorative function, it can also heat. The temperature is regulated depending on the needs of households. At the same time, heating can be completely turned off. One way or another, the metal casing will not heat up during the operation of the device, and the heat will completely come out.
The electric hearth will perfectly cope with heating a room of up to twenty square meters in the off-season. Most models have a two-stage heating mode and a power of 2 kW.
Basically, the devices are thermostatic. Therefore, it is possible to set to the desired heating level. Then the necessary temperature will be maintained all the time.
The advantages of the electric center
Among the advantages, the following can be distinguished.
- Ease of installation, maintenance and operation.
- Save space.
- Impossibility of fire.
- Simple adjustment.
- Low cost.
If desired, the electric fireplace can simply be moved to another room. There are flat models that are built into the walls.
What are the electrical foci
According to the place and method of location of the device are divided into several groups:
- angular;
- frontal (adjacent to the wall, built into it or wall);
- freestanding.
Competition in this market is forcing manufacturers to achieve the most realistic combustion. At the same time, 3D foci of electrical foci are often used. In them, to distinguish the flame from the present becomes virtually impossible.
Professional lighting technology using LED lamps creates real masterpieces, competing with naturalism with the fire itself.
And the variety of portals allows you to choose a case that fits perfectly into the interior of the room and emphasizes its individual style.
But it happens that the visual effect does not play any role. Then pay attention to completely different characteristics.
