Bio-ethanol haard brandtijd per liter brandstof in moderne woonkamer

One of our most frequently asked questions is how long a bioethanol fireplace burns on 1 liter of bioethanol. This is important to know. The first question we always ask is which fireplace the customer is interested in. Burning time depends heavily on the fireplace's fire line.

What determines the burn time of a bio-ethanol fireplace?

The burning time depends on a number of factors:

  • Large Reservoir - the full burning time of the fireplace is highly dependent on the reservoir.

  • Burner Size – The larger the burner/fireline, the more fuel is used per hour.

  • Flame height – Automatic models allow you to adjust the flame height. A higher flame creates more heat and ambiance, which also helps the fuel harden.

  • Fuel quality – Pure fuel burns longer and cleaner. With 96% pure bioethanol, you'll enjoy the most efficient results.

Automatic bio-ethanol fireplaces

Automatic models are available in long or short versions. The flame height of these burners is adjustable and reaches a higher flame than most fireplaces. This means they can consume more or less when set to the lowest setting. At the lowest setting, the fireplace consumes 0.5 liters per hour. These fireplaces are especially suitable for larger spaces where warmth and a vibrant flame are important.

Freestanding and hanging fireplaces

Freestanding and ceiling fireplaces have smaller burners and are therefore more energy-efficient. Their average burn time is between 3 and 4 hours per liter. These fireplaces are ideal for creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in a living room, bedroom, or restaurant.
