There is no need to say that rarely in any country house, cottage or dacha there is no bath. It is very convenient and, most importantly, good for he alth. And what bath without hot water? The main element in the equipment of such a room is a stainless steel bath tank. The use of stainless steel is due to several advantages:
- steel does not corrode, therefore, the water in the tank will be clean, rust will not form. Welds are made by argon welding;
- stainless steel is not exposed to the harmful effects of high temperature and high humidity in the room during long-term operation.
Usually a stainless steel bath tank is made of such steel grades - 08X17, 12X18H10. They have high heat resistance and high resistance to deformation under the influence of high temperature.
There are several types of tanks depending on the method of heating the liquid:
- water heated by stove;
- heating it with a heater built into the tank.
For uniform heating of water in the tank andlong-term preservation of high temperature, it matters what thickness of the metal a stainless steel bath tank has. When heating a liquid with a furnace, the thickness of the metal is taken more than when heated with a ten. This is due to the effect on the boiler of a higher temperature. At the same time, an increase in the thickness of the metal affects the mass of the tank, and hence its cost.
It depends on how many people will steam at the same time and on the method of heating water, what size a stainless steel bath tank is needed. A capacity of up to 50 liters is enough for one person.
The industry produces tanks that are mounted on the smoke pipe from the furnace. The remaining chimney is installed on the tank. The smoke passing through the pipe heats its walls, which transfer their heat to the water. Water is poured through the upper hole in the tank, draining is done through the drain fitting. Mounted tanks are also produced, which are attached directly to the furnace wall and heated by it. In this case, the tap is located inconveniently, at the very bottom.
Electric heaters are used in baths or saunas to heat up a room in a few hours. In this case, there is no need to stock up on firewood. Everything will be done by electric heaters for saunas. Tena heat the stones that are laid on them.
Electric heater is usually made in a rectangular shape, with a heating element inside. Its main purpose is to create hot, dry air in the steam room. Blinds are made on the furnace body on three sides to improve heat transfer. From quantitystones depends on how quickly the steam room warms up. If there are many stones, the heating will take longer, but the steam will be more “soft and fluffy”.
Recently, stoves made of cast iron have become widespread. They are more durable and resistant to the environment.
The cast iron sauna stove has some advantages over other heating appliances:
- easy indoor installation;
- it does not need lining, which saves both time and money;
- easy to carry anywhere.
A small capacity cast iron stove can heat a large area. In addition, it has versatility - it heats both water and the steam room itself. The material is high-quality heat-resistant cast iron. A feature of such furnaces is the adjustment of the furnace process. Up to eight hours, a slow burning process can occur in a metal furnace.
