How to Choose Manual Ethanol Fires And Automatic Ethanol Fires

How to Choose Manual Ethanol Fires And Automatic Ethanol Fires

If you are looking for lifelike flames, go for electric fireplace inserts that run on bio ethanol fires.Compared with the traditional wood burning fireplace,The introduction of the bio ethanol fires made it possible to place a fireplace almost everywhere and without any venting, flue, smoke, soot or expensive maintenance. no ash, no noise, no smell, no need chimney, easy to install and use. Since then, the technology and security have evolved, and today we have two types of bio ethanol fires: Manual and Automatic  electric bio ethanol burners .

Electronic ethanol burners are a step up from manual ethanol burners. Automatic ethanol burners can be operated with a remote control, control panel or even your smartphone and smart home system. These remote-controlled bio ethanol burners are also safer thanks to many safety sensors overseeing their work. A manual ethanol fireplace insert is a stainless-steel container that is filled with bioethanol fuel. To start the fireplace, you need to use a long lighter to ignite the fuel. The point is that you have to adjust the flames manually and extinguishing the fire is done the same way.

So What's the main Differences between Manual ethanol fires and Automatic ethanol fires?

• Different prices Manual bio ethanol  burners are  much  cheaper

Bio ethanol fires have been existed for some years, with the manufacturers continuously optimizing  the production costs. Furthermore, the manual burners does not require any digital technology, and this means that the prices of manual bio fireplaces are quite low at this point. Electric Ethanol Fires have more complex structure inside and they works on 12V electric power transfer with main-boards , digital screen, and many electric parts. So the cost is higher. Choosing manual fires or electric fires, it depends on your budgets.

• Different Lighting and extinguishing  

To light a manual fire, you need to bring your hand near the fire, and this is the only way to do it. You need to use a match or a long lighter. If the burner is hot, gas is produced in abundance. When lighting, a flash will occur that will be larger or smaller depending on how hot the combustible is. This detonation will at least result in a reflex of surprise or fear, and can also lead to accidents.

With an electronic ethanol fireplace, lighting is done automatically, by simply pressing a button. There is no need to bring your hand near the flame. Also, this means you’re only lighting a few centiliters of the combustible injected by the pump and not the entire quantity of ethanol like in a manual reservoir burner.

• Different Safety performance  

Intelligent Ethanol Fires has the safety protection performance and remote control function of the machine, which can be easily opened from a distance, and Separate Fuel Reservoir and Burner Tray. Manual Ethanol Fires needs to be manually added with ethanol and ignited before burning, and also needs to be manually covered to achieve the flame out effect. But the advantage is that the weight is small, and it can be moved freely in the house conveniently and the price will be relatively favorable under the condition of taking care of ventilation and ensuring the safety of the environment.

• Different way to use

To function well, Intelligent Ethanol Fire need to have an enclosure to house the fire source and a fuel tank to hold the ethanol. Intelligent Ethanol Fire can be stationary or portable. Most types of stationary Intelligent Ethanol Fire are mounted against the walls. Manual ethanol fire No power or cables are required and it can be mounted everywhere.Manual bioethanol burners and fireplaces can be installed and placed freely, because they do not require any power or other cable connection, nor does it need a chimney, vent or flue. The only factor to consider is which size you want the burner to have.However, you, of course, still need to be aware of general fire hazards and safety distances. You can read about safety distances in our guide on the subject.

• Different Routine maintenance  

All machines have a warranty period, within which any damage can be repaired. For routine maintenance, spray some commonly used disinfectant alcohol on the cloth with double-sided flannelette [that is, cloth for wiping glasses and lenses], and gently wipe off the dust on the machine panel. Electric Ethanol Fires can be easily do the maintenance to make it a new fireplace After long time use.But manual ethanol fire’s combustion tray will become black after use and it can not be cleaned easily as a new fireplace.

• Different Routine maintenance  

While it is more technical and more difficult to understand for beginners, this notion of clean combustion is still essential. All specialists agree that proper combustion is complete combustion. This means that it transforms its combustible into heat while emitting the least waste as possible. And Art Fireplace devices are equipped with flame adjustable functions.the users can choose the best flame height for his spaces with the proper heat outputs in different time. So it is the most valuable.

Benefits of a Manual Bioethanol Burner
1. No power or cables are required and it can be mounted everywhere
Manual bio ethanol burners and fireplaces can be installed and placed freely, because they do not require any power or other cable connection, nor does it need a chimney, vent or flue. The only factor to consider is which size you want the burner to have.
However, you, of course, still need to be aware of general fire hazards and safety distances. You can read about safety distances in our guide on the subject.
2. Manual bio ethanol burners are cheap
Bio ethanol fires have existed for some years, with the manufacturers continuously optimizing the production costs. Furthermore, the manual burners does not require any digital technology, and this means that the prices of manual bio fireplaces are quite low at this point.
Disadvantages of a Manual Bio ethanol Fireplace
3. Operated manually
The most obvious disadvantage of the manual bioethanol fireplace is the manual control. It means that you have to get close to the flame for adjusting or switching the burner on and off. Therefore, a manual bioethanol fire should not be operated by children.
4. Fewer safeguards
Although the manual burners are perfectly safe when you follow the instructions and use common sense, the automatic bio ethanol fires have additional safety sensors that the manual ones do not. These sensors are not available when using a manual biofire.

Benefits of an Automatic Ethanol Burner
1. Easy to control the flame
It is easier to extinguish and ignite an automatic burner. All you have to do, is click on the remote control, the control panel on the burner or via an app. Some automatic bio ethanol fires also allow adjustment of the flame size and control over the amount of radiated heat.
2. Safety sensors
An extra bonus with an automatic burner, is the number of safety sensors, which are not possible to get in a manual burner. This may include sensors that monitor CO2 levels, shaking, overheating, etc. So the fireplace will be switched off automatically, in case the sensors picks up any dangers.
3. Fuel economy
Automatic burners often have a better bioethanol fuel economy, since the fuel is only pumped into the burner, when it is needed. This means that no bio ethanol fuel will be wasted when the fireplace is being switched on and off. Furthermore, it will also not evaporate by itself if unburnt bioethanol is left in the fireplace.
Disadvantages of an Automatic Burner
1. Expensive
One of the biggest disadvantages of an automatic bioethanol burner is the price. An automatic bioethanol burner costs a lot more than its manual counterpart. The reason for this is that the technology used in the automatic models is still relatively new and more advanced. This means, it requires more development and working hours to produce, and the materials needed for the manufacturing are more expensive.
2. Requires power
In order for all the electronic components in the burner to work, it is necessary to have a power connection close to the installation of the ethanol fireplace. This makes the installation less flexible.
However, some automatic burners are equipped with a battery and therefore require recharging instead.
