The bio fireplace is not a heating element. Its main function is to improve the aesthetic characteristics of the room. Despite the relatively simple design, the cost of factory models is very high and can reach several tens of thousands of rubles. Therefore, the best option will be the production of biofireplaces with their own hands.
Features of the design of the bioway
It is first necessary to get acquainted with the principle of this decorative element, as well as with the specifics of the design. The bio-fireplace consists of a fuel storage area, a burner and an external housing.
The principle of operation of factory burners is based on the evaporation of fuel. The vapors, entering through a special filtering net, enter the combustion chamber. There is a narrow gap in it, through which combustion of fuel takes place.
This design provides the following qualities:
- Security. The surface of the fireplace is practically not heated. The only source of thermal energy is the combustion zone of the fuel.
- Economical fuel consumption. Its flow can be adjusted by means of a special damper.
- Possibility of installation in other interior details. Externally, the fireplace is a small box of stainless steel. It can be mounted in any element of the interior, or in a false fireplace - read about how to do it.
What is the difficulty of independent production of a fireplace? First of all, the correct choice of design. Often attempts to copy the factory models lead to malfunction of the entire device. Therefore, it is best to consider the possibility of producing a fireplace on a fuel of a different design.
How to make
First, you should consider the design of the burner. To do this, you can use a simple tin can, in which fuel will subsequently be poured. To create a uniform flame, it is recommended to use a wick made of natural materials - hemp or jute.
Bio-fireplace block
Wooden or steel sheets can be used as the manufacturing material. The latter option is preferable, since it is safer to operate. Then a grate platform is mounted on the upper part of the structure. It will serve as the basis for stones. They are a decorative part of the bio fireplace and do not perform any functions.

grille For additional appearance, additional glass walls can be installed. They will protect the flame from drafts, which will significantly increase the safety of the entire device.
A jar of cooked fuel is placed on the bottom of the fireplace, the wick is led out through the holes of the grate. After filling the layer of stones, it must remain in the visible part. A similar model can be installed on a coffee table, chest of drawers.
If desired, you can make a complete simulation of the fireplace. To do this, you must first draw a drawing of the decorative design. Most often, its shape and dimensions correspond to real fireplaces. Differences are in the materials used. To do this, apply gypsum board and profiles for it.
Drawing of a fireplace. CLICKLY
The order of its manufacturing consists in performing the following steps:
- Drawing drawing. It depends on the location - in the corner of the room or at one of the walls.
- Determination of optimal dimensions. It is important to know that the dimensions of the combustion chamber is not an essential parameter. Those.in fact, you can make it small in height. The only restriction is the fire from the fireplace - it should not heat the top surface of the furnace.
- Installation of the finished burner. It is carried out only after the final finishing of the fireplace.
This design will not heat the room, but serves as a unique interior detail.
Choosing the right fuel
As an energy carrier, it is best to use ready-made compounds. They are made on the basis of bioethanol. This liquid without color and odor is ideal for creating a uniform flame. It is noteworthy that during combustion no soot is released.
However, during operation, it is necessary to remember the following points:
- When open, the fuel evaporates relatively quickly. Therefore, after the burner is extinguished, it is necessary to completely seal the container with bioethanol.
- Despite its properties, after a while in the combustion chamber a soot of soot will form. To a greater extent, it is associated with the burning of dust in the flame of the bio fireplace. It should be periodically cleaned.
In the rest of the biofireplaces are the simplest in the manufacture and unpretentious in use of the interior details. You can make and can be made of almost any materials at hand. It is important only to know the operating principle and characteristics of the fuel used.
