How does the EQUATAIR heat exchanger used in MONTPELLIER work

Following our article on ''The heat exchanger for open fireplace EQUATAIR and its wood-holder support in Montpellier'', many internet users have asked us about the operation of this auxiliary heater for an open fireplace.

The EQUATAIR heat exchanger, how does it work, as a famous TV presenter would say?

It's very simple:

You place a cast iron coil in the hearth and have it rest on four feet, also made of cast iron.

You place a small fan on one side of the fireplace.

It will suck air from the room and send it into the coil through a flexible metal duct.

The cast iron coil, on which the burning logs rest, will gradually heat the air passing through it. This air exits loaded with calories that will be 'heat transferred' or diffused into the living area by the constant airflow coming out of the coil.

The efficiency of your fireplace is greatly optimized!

In all regions of France, and notably in the region of Montpellier, our ancestors built individual houses equipped with a fireplace.

In the second half of the 20th century, inserts appeared, which increased the efficiency of open fireplaces.

However, for technical, aesthetic, or economic reasons - installing an insert is very expensive - it is not always possible to install an insert in your fireplace.

This is why the heat exchanger solution appeared, whose main manufacturers TIFON and AMPHORA have now disappeared;

CONFORT DOMO FRANCE has 'taken up the torch', a warm expression, by having the EQUATAIR Classic and EQUATAI Turbo products manufactured in France.

Thus, old houses equipped with open fireplaces can use wood as an auxiliary heating for 4 to 6 months of the year.

Open fireplaces equipped with an EQUATAIR heat exchanger can then efficiently warm living areas even of large size (75 m²).

The EQUATAIR heat exchanger installation is very simple and takes only a few minutes. No work or modification of your fireplace is necessary to install the heat exchanger from CONFORT DOMO France.

The EQUATAIR is placed in the fireplace, on its simple cast iron support and can be installed in 2 minutes. The support also acts as a log-holder.

As cast iron accumulates calorific energy, the log-holder support allows you to add 2000 Watts to the 5000 Watts already recovered by the cast iron coil. Effortlessly, you can reduce your bills, thanks to the EQUATAIR heat exchanger.

EQUATAIR is a product designed and manufactured in France.

In the region of MONTPELLIER, as everywhere in France, it is possible to obtain this little jewel in 2 to 3 days. You just need to order it online at www.confort-domo.com
