Product Information

Unlike most convection heaters, the Dimplex 403TSFTie was designed to be portable and its two carry handles make it extremely easy to move. Controls The production of coke from coal produces ammonia, coal tar, and gaseous compounds as byproducts which if discharged to land, air or waterways can pollute the environment. [160] The Whyalla steelworks is one example of a coke producing facility where liquid ammonia was discharged to the marine environment. [161] Emission intensity The environmental impact of heating your home with wood, however, is not so easy to determine as it can depend on several factors. Wood can be a carbon neutral fuel, i.e. it does not emit any more carbon into the atmosphere than the tree absorbed while it was growing. So if you are collecting and burning untreated wood which is in your local area, wood can be a green heating option.

If you decide to go with a hand fired coal stove, you'll need a chimney. If you already have one in your house, you'll probably want to find a way to use it -- chimneys aren't cheap. Constructing a brand new one usually costs more than the stove itself. If you have to install one, then you need to choose an area in your house where the chimney will not only fit, but the stove will be able to efficiently heat the space you want it to heat. Whoever you hire to install the stove will be able to offer you advice on this matter. If you would like to change your heating system to run on another type of fuel which is more environmentally friendly, more convenient and/or cheaper, there are several options open to you. Choosing the right heating fuel for a home comes down to which of the following factors is most important: Hopefully, our guide to the best electric heaters not only helps you understand which type of heater you need but also, which one is the cheapest to run based on your heating requirements. Still stumped? The woody tissue of plants is composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Modern peat is mostly lignin, with a content of cellulose and hemicellulose ranging from 5% to 40%. Various other organic compounds, such as waxes and nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds, are also present. [36] Lignin has a weight composition of about 54% carbon, 6% hydrogen, and 30% oxygen, while cellulose has a weight composition of about 44% carbon, 6% hydrogen, and 49% oxygen. Bituminous coal has a composition of about 84.4% carbon, 5.4% hydrogen, 6.7% oxygen, 1.7% nitrogen, and 1.8% sulfur, on a weight basis. [37] This implies that chemical processes during coalification must remove most of the oxygen and much of the hydrogen, leaving carbon, a process called carbonization. [38] In Europe from the 17th to early 20th centuries, if you had looked inside a person’s bed you might have seen a large frying-pan-shaped device. This was known as a bed warmer.

As an example, let’s just assume you’re on 13p per kWh for electricity on your current tariff and you have a 1kW heater. Cost calculator Of the factors involved in coalification, temperature is much more important than either pressure or time of burial. [21] Subbituminous coal can form at temperatures as low as 35 to 80°C (95 to 176°F) while anthracite requires a temperature of at least 180 to 245°C (356 to 473°F). [22] Keep in mind, too, that the cheaper brands aren’t likely to come with a warranty, compared with Dimplex’s 3-year warranty offering. Power output

Graphite is difficult to ignite and not commonly used as fuel; it is most used in pencils, or powdered for lubrication. Sometimes coal seams (also known as coal beds) are interbedded with other sediments in a cyclothem. Cyclothems are thought to have their origin in glacial cycles that produced fluctuations in sea level, which alternately exposed and then flooded large areas of continental shelf. [35] Chemistry of coalificationYou’ve probably come across storage heaters if you’re on an Economy 7 or 10 tariff. They resemble electric radiators, and can store heat while you’re on your evening tariff, then let you use it in the day. Having an open coal fire in the front room used to be the norm before more efficient and lower maintenance technology arrived. It is no longer a popular choice as a main source of heating, but many people still enjoy the warm glow of a real fire in their home. Having said that, there are some homes which still rely on a coal-fired boiler which needs to be manually topped up with fuel and cleaned out on a daily basis. Home heating with wood
