Improved insert René Brisach: air preheating

[Flytox]

Test by increasing the cross section of 30% of 4 holes (from 5 to 6 mm in diameter).



Overall, the flames are + light yellow, there are almost no more dark orange flames. The front air zippers completely closed, this seems to heat a little less than slightly open, but the flames remain significantly clearer than before.

Considering the expansion noises you can hear even with an "average" fire, the floor of the fireplace must certainly be warmer than before. If it is, it will not blow the insert ...

Sorry but since 2015 I changed this insert for a pellet stove ... It finished the winter 2015 without problems in the config described above. I think his main problem came from the exhaust much too big / free which I recovered too little heat.
