Invented in 1896 by Joab R. Donaldson of Oliphant Furnace, Pennsylvania, US, the fireplace insert is a device inserted into an existing masonry or prefabricated wood fireplace. Joab was a 59-year-old coal miner and father of 14 at the time of his patent. He came upon the idea as a means of using coke (a smokeless fuel made by the destructive distillation of certain types of coal) and incorporating the use of an electric blower to improve the efficiency. The selection of coke and coal tailings as a primary fuel enabled low-income families to heat their Appalachian homes with small-size coal that they could easily dig for themselves in their own backyards.

  • Invented in 1896 by Joab R. Donaldson of Oliphant Furnace, Pennsylvania, US, the fireplace insert is a device inserted into an existing masonry or prefabricated wood fireplace. Joab was a 59-year-old coal miner and father of 14 at the time of his patent. He came upon the idea as a means of using coke (a smokeless fuel made by the destructive distillation of certain types of coal) and incorporating the use of an electric blower to improve the efficiency. The selection of coke and coal tailings as a primary fuel enabled low-income families to heat their Appalachian homes with small-size coal that they could easily dig for themselves in their own backyards. Fireplace inserts are these days categorized primarily by the type of fuel used (natural gas, propane, EPA-certified wood, pellet, coal and electric), though many people associate them with burning wood. Fireplace inserts are invariably made from cast iron or steel and most have self-cleaning glass doors that allow the flames of the fire to be viewed while the insulated doors remain closed, making the fire more efficient. This makes use of an "air wash" system whereby clean air is directed across the interior surface of the glass and thus prevents the buildup of deposits. Today, many manufacturers also augment the operation of fireplace inserts by offering features such as fans and thermostatic controls, depending on the fuel type. Typically, fresh air enters through vents below, circulates around the main chamber, where it is heated up, and the warmed air then exits through vents on the top of the unit. Fireplace inserts are popular with people who have an existing open fireplace and chimney since they significantly improve both fuel efficiency and heat output whilst also providing an attractive focal point to a room. The disadvantages, when compared to a free-standing wood burning stove, are that they are more expensive to install and depend upon there being a usable fireplace and chimney in the first place. Electric fireplace inserts are made to fit any size of a brick or steel-covered hearth. Electric fireplace inserts come in three form factors: electric log inserts (which imitate a natural wood flame), plug-in inserts, and built-in units. Plug-in electric fireplace inserts typically connect to a common 120-volt wall plug and are placed within an existing fireplace. (en)
  • L'insert est un dispositif qui s'encastre dans une cheminée existante. Il transforme la cheminée traditionnelle à foyer ouvert, sans vitre pour fermer l'âtre, en un dispositif à foyer fermé. L'insert fonctionne avec des bûches de bois ou parfois des granulés (pellets). Il permet de profiter des sensations apaisantes du feu d'une cheminée traditionnelle sans en modifier le bâti. Il garantit un rendement thermique comparable à celui d'un appareil de chauffage comme le poêle à bois. La diffusion de chaleur d'un insert se fait par convection naturelle ou forcée et aussi par rayonnement. Du fait du rendement énergétique souvent supérieur à 70 %, et de l'utilisation du bois, énergie renouvelable facilement disponible, l'insert est un système de chauffage éligible au crédit d'impôts développement durable.

  • Il termocamino (o camino termico) è un sistema di riscaldamento domestico alimentato a legna e/o a pellet come combustibile, alternativo o affiancato agli impianti tradizionali alimentati a gasolio, GPL o metano (termoconvettore). Si tratta di un camino a camera chiusa (con uno sportello di vetro termico richiudibile) più efficiente del camino standard a camera aperta consentendo un buon risparmio energetico grazie al recupero, tramite particolari accorgimenti, di buona parte del calore prodotto che altrimenti si disperderebbe nella canna fumaria. Può essere ad aria o ad acqua: se funziona ad aria è dotato di più "bocchette" per l'erogazione dell'aria calda, se funziona ad acqua è collegato direttamente o tramite scambiatori di calore all'impianto di riscaldamento a radiatori o a pavimento. È in grado di offrire un rendimento globale del 70-80%, ma la resa al fluido scende fra il 50 e il 70%. (it)
  • Wkład kominkowy – żeliwny lub stalowy wkład w kształcie paleniska, podłączany bezpośrednio do wylotu spalin. Wkłady o nowocześniejszej konstrukcji mają również przyłącze dopływu świeżego powietrza, a nawet regulator ciągu, który automatycznie reguluje dopływ świeżego powietrza do paleniska. Szyby wkładów kominkowych wykonywane są ze szkła żaroodpornego, wytrzymałego na temperatury rzędu 700 stopni Celsjusza. Wkład kominkowy może posiadać również płaszcz wodny, tj. płytowy lub rurowy wymiennik ciepła, który za pośrednictwem cieczy przekazuje ciepło z paleniska do instalacji centralnego ogrzewania. Wkłady kominkowe stosowane są w celu podniesienia sprawności cieplnej paleniska poprzez ograniczenie wyciągania powietrza z ogrzewanego pomieszczenia przy pomocy zamknięcia paleniska szybą. (pl)
