Introduction
Fireplace
blowers are a popular accessory in most fireplaces sold today. A
fireplace on its own is capable of releasing a good amount of heat in a
room. However, the heat often rises and does not permeate the room as
well as it could. This is where a fireplace blower is used to both
increase the amount of heat being produced by the fire and help move the
heat out away from the fireplace to better distribute the warmth.
Tubing
A
fireplace blower starts with special heat-resistant tubing. The fire is
built directly on top of the tubing, which causes the tubes to heat the
air inside of them. The air inside the tubes can get as hot as 500
degrees F.
Air Intake
Once
the fire blower unit is turned on, an air intake device sucks cold air
out of the room and pumps it into the pipes that the fire is built on.
Once inside the pipes, it takes very little time for the air to become
superheated.
