Bio Clean Fuel
BTUs -- British Thermal Unit, the primary heat measurement unit used by the hearth industry. It is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 lb. of water by 1 degree F. at sea level.

The new Apex belt offers unparalleled support in two adult sizes. in bio foam kidney coverage and support.

Earth Bio Fuel B-Vent -- A gas-burning appliance that takes in combustion air from the home and vents products of combustion outside the home. B-Vent is also commonly known as natural vent.

Yes, ULSD fuels have a lower BTU value and thus when burned in a diesel engine will result in less power. Cetane enhanced products can offset this power loss. Cetane is a high energy compound that makes the fuel burn more completely in the combustion chamber, resulting in more power, reduced emissions, and improved fuel economy. Power Service diesel additives contain "+ Cetane Boost" to offset this power loss while also improving fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Builder Series -- Fireplaces specially designed for builders and contractors, featuring a beautiful blend of elegance, efficiency and economy.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Cabinet -- A fireplace cabinet is usually a wooden finishing option for direct vent or vent-free fireplaces which are installed on the floor of the room and vented through the wall. They encase the entire fireplace and can be made for walls or corners. They range from 13 to 28 inches deep.

ULSD was mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be sold at all retail pumps by October of 2006. This new fuel is a reduced sulfur content formula of diesel fuel. Sulfur content went from 50 parts per million (ppm) to 15 ppm in this new fuel. The reduction of sulfur is mandated to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions 2. Do new diesel engines require use of ULSD

Make Bio Fuel Catalytic Combustor -- A device used on some wood burning stoves to reduce the temperature at which smoke is ignited.

based fuel cells. In the long term, this may be highly desirable. In the short term, it ensures the increase demand for gasoline, fueled motor vehicles will not be brought to production until at least 2010. This guarantees a high demand and high fuel prices imported from foreign countries. Precisely what the country does not need.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Catalytic or Non-Catalytic -- Catalytic wood stoves and fireplace inserts have ceramic honeycombed chambers coated with a metal catalyst (usually platinum or palladium) that works to increase the rate of combustion. The catalytic combustor burns away gases and particulates normally emitted into the air. Catalytic wood stoves allow people to burn wood at lower temperatures for longer periods of time. With Non-Catalytic wood stoves, combustion occurs in the firebox. These stoves are generally less expensive than catalytic wood stoves and require less maintenance.

Fuel Cell Bio Chase -- A structure built around, and enclosing, portions of the chimney and in some cases, housing the appliance.

Bio Conversion Fuel Circulating Firebox -- Has louvers at the top and bottom so that a fan can be installed. Louvers cannot be covered.

Green Energy Clearance -- The distance required by building and fire codes between stove, smoke pipe or chimney and combustible materials such as wood furniture or carpets. Clearances must be observed even if noncombustible plaster or other masonry materials protect the combustible materials, such as wood furniture or carpets.

Bio Ethanol Fuel Direct Vent -- An appliance that draws combustion air from outdoors and exhausts it's combustion products to the outdoors eliminating the need for a standard chimney system. A glass panel in direct vent units is critical to keeping the combustion system sealed from the home, maintaining high efficiency and indoor air quality.

Bio Clean Fuel Electronic Ignition -- Requires electricity to start the unit either 110 volt or battery.

Earth Bio Fuel EPA Regulations -- Government regulations of wood burning appliances mandating that products sold after July 1, 1992 emit no more than 4.1 grams of particulate matter per hour for catalytic-equipped units and no more than 7.5 grams for non-catalytic-equipped units.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Firebox -- That portion of the solid fuel appliance where the fuel is located and where primary combustion occurs.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Hearth -- The floor of the firebox, most commonly used in reference to fireplaces. More generally, the foundation upon which fires for aesthetic and heating purposes are built. Differs from floor protection.

Make Bio Fuel High-Efficiency Wood-Burning Fireplace -- EPA-approved fireplaces offering a balance of elegance and energy efficiency.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Inserts -- Heating units that retrofit into an existing fireplace (masonry or factory-built). They burn wood, gas or pellets and offer superior efficiency.

Fuel Cell Bio Mantel (Flush Mantel) -- Another finishing option for direct vent and ventless fireplaces. They can be wood, marble or stone. The mantels do not encase the entire fireplace, but frame it. Therefore they are only 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 inches deep. Mantels are used when the fireplace is installed inside the wall or on the outside wall of the house.

Bio Conversion Fuel Manually Controlled -- Control the height of the flame at the unit only.

Green Energy Mid-Efficient, Heat-Circulating, Wood-Burning Fireplace -- Security's HE43 fireplace adds style and warmth to any home with 50% efficiency and a panoramic view of the fire.

Bio Ethanol Fuel ODS -- Oxygen Depletion Sensor - A safety device that activates the fire's flame monitoring device in case excessive levels of CO² (deadly carbon monoxide), are detected. This would reduce the levels of oxygen, causing the pilot flame to become unstable and lift off the thermocouple tip. The fire then turns off automatically before the situation becomes dangerous.

Bio Clean Fuel Pellet Burning -- Made of 100% wood sawdust with no additives. The sawdust in pellets is a manufacturing byproduct otherwise destined for landfills.

Earth Bio Fuel Radiant Fireboxes -- Also known as flush face. The facing (Stone, Tile, Brick) can cover above and below the fireplace opening.

Bio Flight Fuel Green Jb100 Remote Ready -- Able to turn the unit on and off remotely via a wired or wireless remote. Remote is sold separately. The height of the flame cannot be adjusted remotely. Not recommended for vented gas logs.

Bio Bio Fuel Less More Waste Surround -- For this site we will define a fireplace surround as a marble or tile frame between the fireplace itself and the wooden mantel. Cabinets seldom use surrounds. However, some manufacturers do call a wooden cabinet a "cabinet surround."

Make Bio Fuel Thermostatically Controlled -- Senses the temperature at the unit not of the room. Not as versatile as a remote ready with a thermostat.

Bio Fuel Jb100 Jet Properties Variable Flame Height -- Via the remote, you can increase and decrease the height of the flame and turn the unit on and off. Also available in thermostatically controlled.

Fuel Cell Bio Vent-Free -- Gas appliance that has no need for a flue. Although vent-free units offer high efficiency, some areas may not permit their use. Please check with your local building official.

Bio Conversion Fuel Zero Clearance Fireplace -- A factory-built fireplace that is constructed so that it can be placed, safely, close to combustible material.
