  2. Fireplace insert - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace_insert

    The fireplace insert was invented in 1742 by Benjamin Franklin, which he called 'The Pennsylvania Fireplace' (also known as the Franklin Stove), in the United States.He came upon the idea as a means of using coke (a smokeless fuel made by the destructive distillation of certain types of coal) and incorporated the use of an electric blower to improve efficiency.

  3. Fireplace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireplace

    Some fireplace units incorporate a blower, which transfers more of the fireplace's heat to the air via convection, resulting in a more evenly heated space and a lower heating load. Fireplace efficiency can also be increased with the use of a fireback, a piece of metal that sits behind the fire and reflects heat back into the room.

  4. Electric fireplace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_fireplace

    The electric fire was invented in 1912 [2] and became popular in the 1950s. [3] Electric fireplaces found in 1950s homes were typically small and could be easily moved. [4] Techniques for electrical "flame effects" have been around since at least 1981. [5] Commercial electric fireplace techniques include the Optiflame, introduced in 1988 by ...

  5. Direct vent fireplace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_vent_fireplace

    Direct vent fireplaces are extremely efficient compared to a traditional fireplace and can operate at about 85% efficiency. Even a very efficient traditional fireplace only operates at about 15% efficiency. This is because most of the hot air generated by the fire travels up the chimney due to convection.

  6. Kerosene heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerosene_heater

    The Japanese non-vented "fan" heater burns kerosene gas and is known as a gasification type heater. The liquid kerosene fuel is pre-heated via an electric heating element to vaporize the fuel. The resulting gas is collected and forced into the burn chamber where it is ignited and burns with a blue flame, similar to propane.

  7. Grate heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grate_heater

    This tubular fireplace grate heater has a large surface area heat exchanger in a compact design, with a fan or blower (fans and blowers are not the same) to multiply the effect of natural convection. This is a very basic tubular blower that sits under a grate and heats the air being pumped through it from the heat of the coals.
