The combustion process in a direct vent linear gas fireplace is carried out with air drawn from the surrounding environment rather than air from within the house. A flue that has two chambers is called a dual chamber flue system. One of the chambers in this system is used to bring in cold air, while the other is used to remove the exhaust. The result is an efficient fireplace that can reduce the amount of heat that escapes up the chimney, return a greater portion of that heat to your house, and ensure that your home is always full of air that is both warm and clean. Fireplaces that use direct vent gas may be risk-free since they do not require electricity.
What Is a Direct Vent Fireplace?
A direct vent linear gas fireplace has a sealed combustion chamber, enabling it to vent out a side wall or through the ceiling. Direct vent fireplaces are also known as sealed combustion fireplaces. A direct vent fireplace takes advantage of the natural principle of warm air rising, which creates a negative pressure inside the system, allowing the fireplace to suck in cold air for burning. When it is not in use, cold air cannot enter your home through the chimney because the firebox is shut, which also improves the fire’s effectiveness while burning.
Where Can You Put a Direct Vent Fireplace
A direct vent fireplace’s adaptability in installation is one of its finest qualities. A gas linear fireplace vented through your roof or a side wall of your home is possible, but a natural vent fireplace must only vent vertically. This implies that you may put your fireplace in any area, including the bathroom, cellar, bedroom, kitchen, and living room. However, a Power Vent can be required for installations in large rooms or commercial settings.
