drawings and sketches

future devices As with any job, Bio Fireplace construction begins with design sketches on paper.At first he is an ordinary pencil drawing in the context of interior room.When the drawing is performed in compliance with all proportions, it is necessary to assess their capabilities.Only then can you begin to create a drawing with all dimensions and details.This plan will provide invaluable assistance in the creation of components and assembling them into a coherent structure.

What materials do we need

Since biofireplaces action principle is based on the combustion of liquid fuel, the first thing that we need to make - a fuel tank.It can have any sort of form - it all depends on your choice.In its simplest form it is a sealed box with a rectangular cross-section.Make it out of stainless steel.In its upper part, this tank has a narrow slit for biofuel refueling and fire exit.For the production of this unit is required galvanized steel sheet at least 2 mm thick.So ka carve yourself and to weld galvanized steel into the desired structure is problematic enough, the capacity can be purchased in a completely finished form or to order specialist.

If you may well be satisfied with a small table biofireplaces, the tank can be made of ordinary steel or aluminum cups, where you want to insert a metal mesh.She will play the role of the flame divider and add fuel through it there is no difficulty.

If you show some imagination, then a few cups can be made larger Bio Fireplace.Thus in a composition will be two or more of the same torches.If clubs are equipped with handles, then remove them very carefully, so as not to damage the wall and not to do them unnecessary holes.Constructed with a fuel tank installed in several large metal container, which will serve as a protective shield.

Decorative Biofireplaces

Still, we need a table, nightstand or decorative pedestal on which we place the Bio Fireplace.

Assembly Biofireplaces for apartments

There are many options for bio fireplaces design, which can be collected on their own at home.Consider the two most popular:

first version of the device

Biofireplaces Biofireplaces This option is easy enough to make.You will need to acquire the following materials:

• Heat-resistant gypsum board, of which will need to make base biofireplaces.It is mounted on the profile or wooden bars 30x50 mm screws.
• Ready fuel tank is equipped with a latch and a metal stand.
• Two sheets of fire-resistant glass required size.
• bolts, washers, nuts and pads under them in the amount of 8 pieces.
• metal legs and 4 rubber pads.
• Fire-retardant paint in black or other finishing material for the decoration of the space around the tank.

biofireplaces assembly process must be carried out in a specific order.First of all it is necessary to construct the very foundation, which will be inserted into the furnace.By drawing from the profile or bars to assemble a rectangular frame.The inside of the frame must form a rectangular niche, which corresponds to the size of the fuel tank.

After that fasten the frame with screws drywall on all sides except the bottom.Cut through the upper panel to be installed in the furnace it.All edges are processed and shpaklyuyut.After drying putty plasterboard frame paint fireproof paint or trim material that is not afraid of fire.

in glass mark out holes for the bolts are drilled their size and special glass.Do it yourself is very difficult, since the glass may crack.Therefore it is better to take the blank and take the master, who has a special tool.

glass is attached to the panel by means of screws prepared using soft pads.This should be done very carefully, as though the glass and refractory, but quite fragile.Then, the bottom of the glass walls need to attach special feet which are provided with rubber gaskets.They are sold in DIY stores.

When the whole structure is assembled, it needs to be put on the legs and install a metal fuel tank with a valve in a niche at the top panel is intended for it.After complete assembly of the entire structure near the plane with fuel tank can be decorated with decorative stones.

second variant of the device biofireplaces

There is another interesting option biofireplaces device, which should be considered.

• For its production will require slightly different materials than in the first case:
• Wooden or metal pot square or rectangular.
• refractory glass, which should be cut into four billets, the relevant parties on the size of the pot.

• metal mesh, for which you want to make a frame the size of the pot.
• Silicone sealant, which is used for sealing showers and aquariums.It is necessary to secure the glasses to each other and on the ground.
• Decorative sea pebbles of different colors.Their number should be sufficient to decorate the entire upper surface of the bio fireplaces.
• Wicks for flame can be made of a textile strap.
• fuel tank, which must consist of two containers.In this one placed inside another container.Their height should be less than the height of the pot 3 cm. The need to provide wood flowerpot presence fireproof spacers between it and the surface of the metal container.
• When everything is ready, you can begin to install the glass.With self-manufacturing of the pot, it must be done first.

glass walls are mounted on the finished pot on the likeness of the aquarium.All angles and coat with silicone glue between them.This work needs to be done carefully and without haste, so that the sealant is well managed to fasten securely fastening surface.All the silicone dry in a day.Only then is it possible to cut the excess knife.

Then, in the middle of the pot is placed a metal or a glass tank and secured to the bottom of the same silicone.In it is placed the second tank, which serves as a container for fuel.On top of the fuel tank is placed a metal mesh and passed through it a wick, the lower part of which is lowered to the bottom of the tank.

metal mesh placed on top of the pot and cut to size.It would be better if you make two layers of such a network.Stones laid on it in random order so as to cover the entire surface.Their purpose is not only in decor but also in a uniform temperature distribution.

When the stones are laid on the glass wall of the pot is set.They can not stick that will make it easy to disassemble the structure for periodic maintenance.To start biofireplaces, you need to fuel tank, which flows right through the top.Then set fire to the wick and enjoy the beautiful flame.

Which fuel is used for refueling bio fireplaces

For biofireplaces need bioethanol.In fact, this industrial alcohol made of environmentally friendly biological control.You can purchase it at hardware stores.When burning this fuel does not emit harmful substances and odors, as burned almost completely.You can, of course, and independently produce alcohol by fermentation and distillation, but it does not have sufficient purity, so the fumes and odors when burned emits.There are other ways of self-production of biofuel, but the ingredients for its production still have to buy, so it's easier to buy bioethanol.
