摘要： A prefabricated fireplace assembly and method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The assembly is configured for direct mounting to the framework of a rough opening of a building in which it is to be installed. A prefabricated fireplace box having a combustion chamber for either wood or gas fireplaces, is connected to and carried by a surrounding framework of building materials, to provide a zero clearance fireplace module assembly. The framework forms a permanent part of the fireplace assembly and acts as a shipping container, protecting the fireplace box until the assembly is installed. After installation, the framework becomes an integral part of the wall or structure to which the assembly is mounted. External siding of the building and interior room sheetrock can be directly secured to the assembly framework, eliminating the need for additional contractor framing around the fireplace assembly.

摘要： A fireplace for concurrent use inside and outside of a structure includes a combustion chamber enclosure defining a combustion chamber, an inside opening, and an outside opening, wherein the combustion chamber is viewable from the inside of the structure through the inside opening and from the outside of the structure through the outside opening. The fireplace also includes a combustion air plenum system coupled to the combustion chamber enclosure to supply fresh air from the outside to the combustion chamber and an exhaust opening defined by the combustion chamber enclosure for exhausting exhaust air from the combustion chamber to the outside of the structure.

摘要： A heat exchange system and method for heating outside air provided to a structure are disclosed. The system uses and recovers heat from waste products that are being exhausted from the structure. A heated products source generates heated waste products as a result of combustion. An exhaust duct passes the heated waste products through a heat exchanger before exhaustion from the structure. An intake duct that supplies fresh outside air to the structure also passes through the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger couples the exhaust duct and the intake duct and transfers otherwise unused heat from the waste products to the outside air to increase the overall efficiency of the heated product source.

摘要： A proximity warning system for a fireplace including a monitor module and an alarm module. The monitor module is configured to sense when an object, such as a person, enters a defined zone proximate to the fireplace. The monitor module may use a variety of techniques to sense when an object enters the defined zone. For example, the monitor module may use capacitance or pulse infrared light to detect when an object enters the defined zone. The alarm module is coupled to the monitor module to generate an alarm when the monitor module senses that the object has entered the defined zone. The alarm may be audible or visual.

摘要： A log-burner apparatus is for simulating a burning log or piece of wood wherein at least a portion of the burner aperture of the burner is not defined by and does not extend through the artificial log material. As such, any adverse effect of the artificial log material on the efficiency of the burner is reduced. Additionally, the burner apparatus provides for durability of the burner while still providing a realistic simulation of flame coming from a log. In one embodiment, a gas burner apparatus including a gas burner structure with an outer surface including a portion with at least one burner aperture therein. The apparatus further includes an artificial log having an outer surface and the artificial log is disposed at least partially around the gas burner stucture. At least a portion of the outer surface of the burner structure including the burner aperture is exposed adjacent the outer surface of the artificial log. In another aspect, a method of making a gas burner apparatus. The method includes the step of providing a burner structure including an outer surface. The outer surface includes a burner portion having at least one burner aperture therein, and a second portion adjacent the burner portion. The method also includes the step of forming an artificial log at least partially around the burner structure such that the burner surface portion is exposed, and at least some of the second portion is in communication with the artificial log.
