You enjoy your open fireplace for its warm and friendly aspect, but you surely know that 80% of the heat generated by an open fireplace is lost…
Thanks to our heat recovery unit, keep the pleasure of your open fireplace, but fully enjoy its calories and make significant heating savings!
Easy installation:
- Place the heating body on the Deco kit specially designed for this purpose or on your andirons.
- With the flexible metal duct, connect it to the fan that you have placed on the left or right of the fireplace.
- It's done! You can start your fire; in ten minutes, the Equatair Classic will pleasantly heat your room.
Operating principle:
The fan draws air from the room and sends it into the flexible duct, then into the heating body placed at the heart of the embers; the air absorbs a maximum of heat there and then diffuses it into your room.
Efficient:
The air meanders for 1.70 meters in the hottest part of the fireplace (750 to 850°C) then is directly ventilated into the room when it has reached its maximum temperature. Twenty minutes after lighting the fire, the air already comes out at 200°C, it can reach 350°C after an hour. As it is dry air that is ventilated, there is no risk of burns; the principle is the same as that of a hairdryer.
With its heating power of 7,000 Watts, the Equatair Classic can heat up to 230 m³. This speed in obtaining a pleasant temperature in the room is particularly appreciated in secondary residences or for intermittent use of the fireplace (a few hours in the evening in particular).
The width of the heating body (50 cm) allows it to be placed even in small fireplaces; in large ones, it corresponds to the effective width of the hearth (a one-meter log only burns over 60 cm); a wider heating body would be less efficient.
Economical:
The fan's consumption is very low (35 W); moreover, to optimize the efficiency of the heat recovery unit, it is not necessary to maintain large flames, good embers are sufficient.
Comfortable:
Blown by a single outlet, the air moves horizontally then spreads harmoniously, giving a homogeneous temperature throughout the room. By leaving the doors open, the heat can spread to other rooms. The foam filter, placed at the fan's entrance, prevents the carbonization of dust.
Modular:
The heating body is reversible, it can be placed with the air inlet on the right or left. The same goes for the Deco kit.
The small elbow allows bypassing the fireplace jamb; it is then placed between the flexible duct and the heating body. At the exit of the heating body, the telescopic extension guides the airflow out of the hearth for deep fireplaces. These two accessories are delivered with the device.
