A general domestic electric fireplace calorific value love power said electric fireplace energy, electric power unit is w W, while western countries love to use BTU energy BTU is the size of the fireplace, BTU, full name is: BRITISH THERMAL UNIT/HOUR, BTU/HR said, which means the imperial heat dissipating capacity per hour, can understand 1 pounds of water temperature to 1 degrees Fahrenheit heat.
1 and the usual heat unit joule conversion (1 joule energy equal to the point of action in the direction of the force of 1 Newtonian force) is the work done by the 1 meter distance:
1 BTU/HR = 1055.06 J (joule); 1J = 0.0000094781BTU/HR;
2 and electric power W (1W of the physical meaning is the power of 1W electrical work one second of consumption of electricity
The conversion relation is:
1 BTU/HR = 0.293071 watts (W); 1W = 3.41214 BTU/HR;
The other 3 kcal and conversion unit is:
1BTU/HR Kcal = 0.2519 kcal (kcal); 1Kcal kilocalorie (kcal) = 3.9698 BTU/HR;
[actual use effect]
In China, because of the geographical climate, the majority of the fireplace decided to mainly function or decoration, decoration, and then heating.
General electric fireplace electric power design in 1900W (watch power in general about 80W), the equivalent calorific value in 6483BTU/HR; the false, because the power meter is tested, not a little water;
The calorific value of the true fire fireplace is relatively high, but the average person but simply can not test, unless it is a test of specialized agencies, you only see the manufacturers instructions and nameplate self introduction, online search, some manufacturers in the identification of calorific value of 9000 kcal / hour, and some reached 30000 kcal / hour, the disparity between many times but the user can not be verified.
Sold on the market of the coal, if not the ordinary poor coal quality, cheap stuff, in fact, only in the actual calorific value of 4100 kcal / hour about /Kg, only 7 million of the caloric value reaches the standard of high quality coal card / h /Kg, expert in the coal industry most clearly.
Although the electric fireplace low calorific value, but it is not the highest safety factor, emissions, smoke, dust, odor, and the advantages of lightweight, no installation engineering, environmental protection, no cleaning nursing but can not be replaced, the doors and windows, 25 square meters of indoor is warm, the area is large to change the local heating, feel warm.
Not because of inferior calorific value of electric fireplace without elimination, like cooking, are made of coal, wood, straw to produce true fire to burn, burn for thousands of years, but now we use the electric cooker, even Hot pot shop really many also use fire Hot pot, electric Hot pot, society to human progress, will fully enter the electric appliance, the digital age.
Some people use wood or wood chips to say that they are not entirely to save money, but also to avoid environmental problems caused by other energy sources. "Power generation needs coal, coal causes global warming," said Michel Belfi, a user of sawdust stoves. We use the stove to green. Wood itself is recycled wood, is made of wood, furniture factory and sawmill surplus."
