BEV Technology – Future-friendly Flames

Innovations in fireplace technology are playing a role in the need to reduce our carbon footprint and transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. Among these innovations, Burning Ethanol Vapours (BEV) technology is making waves in the world of eco-friendly bioethanol fireplaces. Planika, a leading brand in this space, is at the forefront of incorporating BEV technology into their bioethanol fires range, bringing us closer to a cleaner and more sustainable future.
Bioethanol emits minimal greenhouse gases when burned, making it an excellent choice for eco-conscious homeowners. It’s a renewable and sustainable fuel source derived from organic materials like corn, sugarcane, and other crops. One big advantage of bioethanol fires is their ability to produce real flames without the need for a chimney or gas connection. This makes them incredibly versatile and suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.

Enter BEV technology

BEV technology represents a groundbreaking advancement in bioethanol fireplace design. Rather than directly burning the liquid ethanol, BEV technology vaporises the fuel, allowing it to mix with oxygen in the air before igniting. This process results in a clean and efficient combustion, producing a beautiful, dancing flame that offers a multitude of benefits.

Improved Efficiency

BEV technology ensures that bioethanol is burned at its optimal rate, minimising fuel consumption and maximising heat output. This increased efficiency translates into more hours of enjoyment with fewer refills.

Lower Emissions

By vaporising ethanol before ignition, BEV technology reduces emissions even further, including particulate matter and volatile organic compounds. This results in cleaner indoor air quality and a reduced environmental impact.

Enhanced Safety

Traditional bioethanol fireplaces can be vulnerable to spills and flare-ups, but BEV technology mitigates these risks by ensuring a controlled and consistent burn. In Planika’s BEV technology bioethanol fires, a small amount of fuel is pumped from the main tank to the vaporising tank. This means that the resulting flame is not in anyway connected to the main fuel tank.

Easier Maintenance

The clean combustion of BEV technology reduces the build-up of residue, making maintenance easier and less frequent.

Versatile Installation

Planika's BEV fireplaces are easy to install and can be placed in various settings, whether you're looking to enhance your living room, bedroom, or even a commercial space. 
BEV technology means you can enjoy the warmth, ambience and beauty of a bioethanol fireplace with real flames without compromising on safety or sustainability. These fireplaces are more than just heating solutions; they are eco-conscious lifestyle choices that reflect a commitment to a greener future.
BEV technology is a potential game-changer in the world of fireplaces, and Planika's bioethanol fires range is a testament to the brand's dedication to innovation and sustainability. Planika are leading the way with technology that combines aesthetics, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. So when you’re next planning to upgrade your living space (or commercial establishment), consider calling us to discuss Planika's BEV technology-enhanced bioethanol fires.
