SCIENCE OF CLEAN COMBUSTIONCOMBUSTION CHAMBERIs made <strong>of</strong> special cast iron base <strong>and</strong> its walls are lined withvermiculite panels. Its shape <strong>and</strong> dimensions are optimized to alloweffective airflow control, which assists near perfect combustion.VERMICULITE LININGVermiculite panels insulate <strong>the</strong> walls <strong>of</strong> combustion chamber.They can sustain very high combustion temperatures, whichincreases efficiency <strong>of</strong> burning <strong>and</strong> decreases carbon emissions.Ano<strong>the</strong>r characteristic <strong>of</strong> vermiculite is that it reflects <strong>the</strong> heatcreating powerful radiation. The result is very high efficiency<strong>and</strong> heat-retention.AIR SUPPLY-POST COMBUSTIONOptimal combustion requires fresh air.There are two ways to feed fresh air into a combustion chamber:1. Primary air - igniting phase2. Secondary air - combustion phase <strong>and</strong> air wash <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> glass paneAir supply is operated <strong>by</strong> <strong>one</strong> or two controls depending on <strong>the</strong> type<strong>of</strong> fireplace. Amount <strong>of</strong> air supplied controls <strong>the</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> burning.In Andorra <strong>and</strong> Kiruna style fireplaces <strong>the</strong> air supply can beconnected to <strong>the</strong> exterior (independent air supply).COMBUSTIONCHAMBERVERMICULITELININGAIR SUPPLY-POSTCOMBUSTION
