The air travelling through the heat exchanger is heated by the fireplace and
then directed out the back of the fireplace. The combined warmed air is then
vented back into the room.
The ventilation opening may be fully open at the top of the enclosure. This
type of ventilation opening would be used when the top of the enclosure
is not visible from above and where the ceiling within the room is higher
than normal. When creating this type of ventilation opening, measures
should be into place to avoid having objects of any type falling or be
thrown into the ventilation opening. Mesh screen or other preventative
measures should be put into place.
