Male Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi) along the Tiger Trail at the San Diego Zoo.

I'm not sure if this is correct but my guess is the "HN" monogram may refer to 'Henry of Northumberland': Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland, who lived at Petworth in 1622.

 

The coronet seen at the top of the picture bears the attributes of the rank of Earl and so is consistent with this interpretation.

 

This Siamese Fireback, Lophura diardi, was photographed in Thailand, as part of a research project utilizing motion-activated camera-traps.

The tubes have a trapezoidal shape that better matches the shape of your fireplace, allowing more heat exchanger to snugly fit.

It works in masonry and zero-clearance

fireplaces, as well as with gas logs or gas starters. You can use a cardboard

box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.

  

The most elegant, well crafted,

customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable

cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of

eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate

Heat Exchangers are built to last.

 

When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger

in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs

and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a

larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our

Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to

capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU

heat generated by your fire.

 

Our volume of sales and positive

feedback speaks for itself!

 

We have grates that have been in

operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.

 

All our products are made with fully

welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon

steel, and UL certified electrical components.

 

We use 100% renewable wind and hydro

electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and

recycled steel.

  

Here is how it works:

Our all steel design uses several

perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat

exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn

through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded

together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The

tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then

blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction

from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the

radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU

from the embers and flame of your fire.

  

The AC fans plug into a standard 110

VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo

voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet

running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM

each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is

more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of

our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.

  

Customers have observed how the warmth

generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining

rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate

prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural

gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to

increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood

you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods

of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or

pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.

standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

start saving on the heating bill!

Here the wrought-iron fire-basket and dogs refer to the earlier Tudor period when the burning of logs was more common. Coal was rarely used at this time, at least in the more rural areas such as this. The fireback is a modern take on the former fashion of highly decorative backs portraying scenes, dates and initials. Note the use of small bricks to line the fireplace and hearth to reduce the risk of the fire migrating! This provided a surface for further decoration according to how the bricks were laid, herringbone etc.

 

The overmantle is typical for the period, classical and mythological figures support the mantle whilst heavy cartouches or carvings fill the panels. This example is in wood, many were in plaster or stone. Here the decorative plaster of the friezes and ceiling have been painted in bright primary colours, highlighting the figures and characters. This is somewhat controversial, as little evidence survives for supporting such an action, but some does. Plas Mawr in Conwy and Buckland Abbey in Devon exhibit such painted plaster detailing, and no doubt represent the fashion of the day for bright colours and painted surfaces on both plaster and timber within houses.

 

I find the placing of candles in the upper holders of the dogs a little annoying as this was not what they were intended for. Such features would have supported metal cups and utensils for keeping food and drink warm, the juices for basting meat and other items required in connection with cooking if in a kitchen or parlour. Candles in this location would not have served any purpose and would simply have melted, besides, they were too valuable to waste in this way.

Female Crested Fireback. Photographed at Taman Negara National Park, Malaysia on 13 March 2016.

(lophura diardi) The Siamese Fireback is distributed to the lowland and evergreen forests of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam in Southeast Asia. This species is also designated as the national bird of Thailand.

Rose Hill Mansion - This is a section of the office. Here you see a late Empire mahogany fall-front desk with many cubbyholes and scroll legs, which was used by Robert Swan, for forty years, to preside over the business of his Rose Hill farm. To the right you get a glimpse of the fireplace. The mantel which is painted black, has Tuscan columns with a cast-iron fireback inside the fireplace. The door you see is one of the two outside entrances, which were for the farm manager and other business guests, thus preventing them from having to go through the house. Located in the mansion on Route 96A in Geneva, NY.

Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi) - Male

 

The Siamese Fireback, Lophura diardi also known as Diard's Fireback is a medium-sized, approximately 80 cm long, pheasant.

 

This is the other *star* bird at Phu Khieo - the Siamese Fireback (Lophura diardi), which is designated as the national bird of Thailand...

a big bird with long tail - luckily I had brought along my 105mm macro lens ! else I would not have been able to get shots of the entire bird using my 600mm, as the group - one male and 3 females strolled around only mere meters away from our hides.. :)

 

This is only my 2nd pheasant - the 1st being the Silver-backed Pheasant - also photographed in Thailand at Kreang Krachan

Fireback Crayfish are primary burrowers, indicating they almost never leave the safety of their burrow complexes. Their burrows are constructed in muddy seeps or along small streams where the soil is perpetually saturated. This species has an extremely small range, occurring only within a handful of steephead ravines along the eastern bank of the Apalachicola River in Florida.

[Vietnam] #476

(lophura diardi) The Siamese Fireback is distributed to the lowland and evergreen forests of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam in Southeast Asia. This species is also designated as the national bird of Thailand.

The castle had its beginnings in the 1460s. It was repaired and enlarged around 1600, but it was in 1567 that the famous tragedy was enacted that is said to have inspired the plot of Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Isobel Sinclair, in a diabolical attempt to divert the line of succession to her own son, arranged to poison her visitors, the 11th Earl of Sutherland and his Countess and their son, while they were taking dinner at the castle. But the plan miscarried and the Earl's son did not drink the poisoned wine, while her own son did, as well as the Earl and Countess.

The original castle was square in shape and had been the hunting seat of the Sutherland family. A find in the Kildonan Strath was a cast iron fireback dated 1633. The grandson of the 11th Earl records that his brother, Sir Alexander Gordon of Navidale, was responsible for the repair of the castle, and his two sons were born there in 1614 and 1616; but in 1621, when the clan troubles were at their height, he built a castle at Torrish, in the Strath, and presumably took the fireback up to it. These ornamental slabs of cast iron were introduced when fireplaces were built into the wall, instead of the usual simple structure in the middle of the room.
