dc.description.abstractExisting fireplaces are extremely inefficient in fuel conversion and space heating capabilities. Simple modifications can be performed to improve the combustion efficiency of fireplaces to equal, if not exceed, those of existing fuel conversion devices. This study investigates ways in which the fireplace can be designed to effectively withdraw the heating potential from a given amount of wood and distribute this heat effectively to climatize a space.en
