At all times, baths were in great demand among the population. An important device of such a room is a sauna stove with a water tank. Today, various heating facilities of this type are installed in the steam rooms: electric, wood, gas. However, experts prefer wood-burning stoves.
Highlights of building a sauna stove with a water tank
It should be noted that modern sauna stoves are presented in the form of stainless steel structures. In this case, you should take care in advance that this unit will soon be repaired. In the case of installing a wood-burning stove, a place for storing firewood should be provided.
Another important aspect for a bath stove with a water tank is the calculation of its power. This indicator is calculated taking into account some factors: the furnace mode, efficiency, the design of the furnace itself. In any case, the main parameters are the type of wood used as a heating material, as well as the area of the bath.
Wood-burning sauna stoves with water tank
Still far awayancient centuries in Russia built baths with wood-burning stoves. These units are also called heaters. This name is due to the fact that in those ancient times baths were heated in black. Then the hearth for heating the steam room was formed due to the set of boulders. To create steam, hot water was poured over red-hot stones.
Modern baths have retained all the most important features of the Russian ancient bath, namely:
- The presence of a heater.
- The presence of a steam room.
- Using a broom.
Stoves for a bath with a water tank are also an important feature of the steam room. If earlier a hearth made of boulders was used as a furnace, today it is customary to build them from bricks or install a metal unit of a similar effect. In the latter case, it is better to install stainless metal stoves.
These ovens are heated in various ways:
- With firewood.
- With electricity.
The most advanced option is to heat the sauna stove with a water tank using electric current. In this case, you do not need to prepare firewood in advance. There will be no need to keep clean around the heating unit.
But, despite this, many people prefer wood-burning stoves. This is due to the fact that such heating systems create special comfort and coziness inside the bath.
