| New Aire Fireplace Inserts: The Ultimate Central Heating System |
|
New-Aire Fireplaces burn either Wood or Coal and are designed to centrally heat a house -- or, in lieu of Central Forced Air Heating, the fireplace can function as a Circulating Room/Area Heater.
The New-Aire Fireplace System utilizes refined principles of thermodynamics which are designed to provide the efficiency of any current generation High Efficiency Forced Air Furnace [Radiant, Conductive or Convective Heat Transfer].
By forcing air movement through a series of baffles in a specially designed Heat Exchanger that surrounds a Heavy-Duty Steel Firebox and with welded-on airtight New-Aire Fireplace Doors and Outside Combustion Air ducted into the firebox -- the New-Aire Fireplace easily matches the heat output of any High Efficiency Furnace on the market today.
In the Fully-Fired Mode, with 1050 cubic feet of air circulation per minute at Central HVAC Static Pressures, the New-Aire Fireplace System produces in excess of 200,000 BTU.
Available in three basic designs:
1. Standard Models 2. See-Thru Models 3. Room / Area Circulator Models

Notes:
1. Concrete Pad dimensions are based on 4 brick installation. If any wider material is used, extend your Concrete Pad accordingly. Depth of the Concrete Pad is determined by the weight of the unit, mass of the chimney and local building code.
2. If the Blowers are installed in a remote location instead of on the sides of the unit, the width of the Concrete Pad can be reduced accordingly.
For remote blowers, an adapter from rectangle to 6 round is welded on the side of the firebox during manufacture, with a transition adapter provided for use at the far end in going from round back to rectangular where the blower is attached. There is an additional charge for this modification. The duct piping does not come with the fireplace, but must be provided by the Buyer. Rigid Duct Piping is more efficient and quieter than Flexible Ducting which may also be used.
The Air-Lator Outside Combustion Air Damper [option] is installed in lieu of bricks in the brick facing in front of the fireplace. The damper sits just behind the fireplace door in front of the fireplace opening.
Note: In an installation without Fireplace Doors to conceal the Air-Lator, the aesthetics of the damper may be deemed unsightly. Without Fireplace Doors for concealment, the Air-Lator Damper can be recessed and covered with a grille of your choice for better appearance.
The thickness of the metal components in New-Aire Fireplaces is as follows:
1. Interior Wall -- Sides & Back of Firebox: 7 gauge [3/16"]. 2. Optional Heavy Back Fireplace: 3/8". 3. Outer Wall of Firebox: 16 gauge 4. Damper: 7 gauge 5. Bonnet: 12 gauge 6. Floor: 7 gauge 7. Built-In Log Grate: 1/2" x 4" with 3/4" Round End Irons
INSTALLATION PLANNING
The first planning requirement is the size of the concrete pad base, with the above dimensions based on 4 inch brick installation on all 4 sides of the fireplace. The width of the concrete pad from front to back must allow 4-8 inches of brick, cement block or other masonry enclosure [depending on State/Local Code], with the sides and back of the firebox wrapped in 1/2 inch insulation -- plus 1/2 inch of dead air space. Blanket type insulation is provided with the unit. NEVER install brick, cement blocks or other masonry tightly against the firebox. A MINIMUM of 1 inch [1/2" insulation + 1/2" dead air space] is required for expansion. If the back or sides of the firebox are installed against a wall or other combustible surface, an extra 2 inches of dead air space clearance must be provided in addition to the above requirements of masonry surround and expansion air space.
The Rotary Control Damper is an option -- not standard. The unit comes with a 3 position manual damper. With welded-on air-tight fireplace doors that allows the manual damper to be set at the desired opening and the combustion burn-rate controlled by the Outside Air Combustion Damper for best efficiency, the Rotary Control Damper is not needed -- and without proper maintenance and cleaning, the Rotary Control Damper can become gummed-up with creosote build-up which impedes its operation.
New-Aire Fireplaces are All-Fuel Rated and can burn either wood or coal. To burn coal, a Heavy Duty Firebox is required as an option at additional cost. New-Aire does not provide the Cast Iron or Stainless Steel Coal Grate/Basket that is needed to burn coal.
Unlike stoves and inserts, the New-Aire Fireplace can be ducted to provide Whole House Central Heating. New-Aire Fireplaces are certified to the International Mechanical Code -- and, when connected to induce heat into Central Heating Ductwork, efficiently heats homes of 5000 square feet.

Your home is the Heart of Your Family Life. A warm hearth is the gathering place that defines the Spirit of A Home.
The New-Aire Fireplace -- clad in Brass and Glass provides both the traditional and functional elements desired in todays lifestyle.
The Door Series [100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600] refers to the size of the doors and shape of the glass. The frame of the doors is the same size for all series -- only the size of the doors & class differ. The cost is the same for each style/series of door. For colors other than Standard Black, there is an additional cost for Metallic Brown, Metallic Blue or Charcoal.
New-Aire Air Tight Fireplace Doors turns any fireplace into a More Efficient Furnace by controlling the Burn Rate to use up to 2/3 less wood.

DOUBLE-WALL CONSTRUCTION & PRINCIPAL OF OPERATION
New-Aire Fireplaces are constructed with double-walls on both sides and the back of the Fire Box. When the heated air between the double walls reaches approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit, a Thermal-Switch closes turning-on the 2 Squirrel Cage Blowers. Cooler air near the floor is pulled in through the Grille Louvers that cover the Squirrel Cage Blowers, forcing the circulation air into the double-sided walls of the Fire Box.

When the two Air Streams meet, they create a "Hurricane Effect" as shown in the Circulation Pattern of the following schematic. This "Hurricane Effect" is then directed to the sides and back of the New-Aire unit by a series of Thermo-Baffles, which also collect and transmit heat. The temperature of the air continues to rise as the air rushes through the specially-designed maze of Hot Thermo-Baffles which are welded to the sides and back of the Fire Box, with the air further heated in the Heat Chamber surrounding the Fire Box Bonnet. The Heated Air is directed throughout the Duct System, providing Forced-Air Central Heating to all the Heat Outlet Registers in the house. Heated Air may also be discharged directly into the room in which the fireplace is located via Hot Air Adjustable Louvers in the face of the fireplace itself.
The entire system is controlled by a Wall Thermostat, as with other Central Heating Systems. A Heat Limit Switch inside the fireplace wall prevents the unit from blowing cold air when the fire dies down and the heat collected by the Thermo-Baffels has dissipated. When used in conjunction with another Central Heating System sharing common ductwork, set the Wall Thermostat of the Other Central Heating System at a lower temperature than that selected for the New-Aire Fireplace. By doing so, your Other Central Heating System will remain off until the fire in the New-Aire Fireplace has died-down and the heat dissipated in the fireplace.
In the schematic above, the Red Arrows show the "Hurricane Effect" air flow in the Double-Walled Sides & Back of the Fire Box and then flows into the Heat Ducts to be distributed throughout the house or other structure.

| How does the New-Aire Fireplace provide Central Heating?
When the heated air between the double walls of the Fireplace Fire Box reaches approximately 90 degrees Fahrenheit, a Thermal Switch closes turning-on the 2 Squirrel Cage Blowers on both sides of the fireplace to draw cooler room air into the Side Walls of the fireplace where the air is heated and distributed through the duct system to all the Heat Outlet Registers in the house.
Heated Air may also be discharged directly into the room in which the fireplace is located via Hot Air Adjustable Louvers in the face of the fireplace itself.
