Flueless Gas Fire: A Savior For Our Planet

By Mike P Reader

Man has gradually depleted the world of its huge natural reserves of oil and gas. Efforts are now being made to preserve these energy resources as well as our environment. Researches and advancements in technology have been focused on developing fuel-based appliances, vehicles and other machinery, in such a way that they conserve and preserve energy.

Among the various traditional and contemporary heating equipments, flueless gas fire is proving to give optimum heating results while saving energy. The reason being, that these have the ability to fully combust the fuel. Moreover, these require very little or no ventilation at all, thereby trapping all the heat that is produced by the flueless gas fire in the enclosed room.

In traditional gas fires, heat also escapes along with the exhaust from the chimney. Therefore, more fuel was needed to bring the room temperature to a certain level. On the contrary, a flueless gas fire maintains the room temperature without burning more fuel, hence saves a lot of energy.

To heat up a room, the flueless gas fire requires 100% of the fuel whereas the old-fashioned gas fires use around 10% of the fuel. In the modern world, the flueless gas fires have left the traditional gas fires behind, and are considered as an asset, since they save energy, money and protect the Earth.

Flueless gas heaters, as the name suggests, come without a flue, or chimney. In a well-ventilated room, it preserves the heat inside the room.

By taking safety measures and precautionary steps, we do not just save energy, but also control our budgets. The price of oil and gas has increased vastly in the last few years. If we do not control the usage of the reserves right now, we might face a big disaster in future. Hence, we should not waste energy in oil and gas, and start working together to protect it. After all, it will also save our money, which goes heftily in oil and gas bills.

LPG or natural gas is the source of energy for flueless gas fires, and it is manufactured to ensure, it uses up 100% of burning of the fuel. A catalytic converter is attached to flueless gas fire to control the combustion process. This converter converts the waste product of combustion, carbon monoxide, in to carbon dioxide, and water vapours. Although carbon monoxide is considered to be harmful, even carbon dioxide is not good for the atmosphere.

However, one is dependent upon heating systems during winters, especially in the colder regions of the world. Carbon dioxide emissions have lately become a cause of major concern, because these have yielded the 'Green house Effect' in the world. This has been declared as the main factor of increasing 'global warming'. Now to counteract the effects of global warming, we tend to resort to air conditioning of our homes, offices and cars, which simply raises the energy consumption worldwide. Therefore, in this vicious circle of energy crisis, flueless gas fire technology is deemed as a saviour of our planet, and its fast disappearing energy resources. - 29954
