When it's cold outside, it becomes necessary to heat not only residential premises, but also garages, as well as workshops.
Need to use
If you are a car enthusiast, you are familiar with the fact that the battery does not like the cold. And starting the car will be quite difficult when the temperature outside the garage drops below the maximum possible mark. If you like to do things in the garage, then you have probably come across the need to use the oven.
As practice shows, a diesel stove is the most optimal and economical device that you can make yourself.
Using gas bottles
Of course, in stores you can buy a unit designed to heat small spaces. However, such devices are designed for certain operating conditions. If you make the device of the described type yourself, then you can rely on your needs by making the oven one that will ideally meet the intended operating conditions. It will be not only economical, but also effective.
Quite often, for the manufacture of such devices, gas cylinders are used, which were used for oxygen or carbon. The fuel will flow by gravity, and the forced supply of oxygen must be abandoned, since it is not required for the design. In order not to create a fire hazard, the heating of the cylinder should be excluded by setting the height of the circuit according to the height of the combustion source.
Preparatory work
If you will be making a diesel stove, you will have to prepare pipes for the chimney, the length of which should be 4 meters or more. In this case, the wall thickness should not be more than 2 millimeters. The inner diameter of the pipes should be equal to 10 centimeters. The main element will be a silent cylinder, the volume of which is 50 liters. Its walls should not be more than 1.5 centimeters. The fuel tank should be between 8 and 15 liters and the burner pipes should be copper.
You will need a file and a grinder, steel 20 cm corners, a welding machine, electrodes, a tape measure, a level, a drill and drill bits.
Preparing the balloon
If you will be running a diesel stove, it is important to pay attention to the wall thickness of the product. The principle of operation is that combustible fuel vapors should be formed. If the walls are thicker than the above parameter, then the boiling point will not be reached. Drain the condensate from the bottleoutdoors, and then rinse the tank twice to rid it of the odorant. After the balloon is filled to the top with water, buried in the ground for stability. The grinder comes into play, with the help of which it will be necessary to rid the container of the upper part with the valve.
When a solar stove is made, the very first cut will cause the water to decrease. You need to wait until it drains, only after that you can continue to separate the upper part from the lower one. Using a welding machine, legs, which are made of metal corners, should be welded to the bottom of the tank. The cylinder is installed, and then you can proceed to the assembly of the structure. The chimney must be vertical, devoid of slopes and angles. The length of this element should not be less than 4 meters. Mining can also be poured into the structure, however, it must first be cleaned. If you use unprepared oil, it may contain alcohol and water. When heated, such a mixture can lead to a fire or explosion, which is especially critical in a garage.
Manufacture of a furnace based on the drip method
A miracle stove in diesel fuel can have a drip design. This option is considered quite simple and fast to manufacture. To carry out the process, you should prepare a medical heating pad, the volume of which is approximately 2 liters. To the rubber hose, which is provided in the heating pad, it is necessary to attach a copper tube, which is bent at an angle of 90 degrees. The rubber hose is bent in half, at the benda tin clamp with a screw is installed. This design will effectively regulate the flow of fuel from the burner, which should drip.
The device is hung on the wall, for this you can use the hole provided by the factory. When such a miracle stove is made in diesel fuel, the next step is to prepare a rag that will act as a wick. Rags are soaked in diesel fuel, and red bricks are placed in the oven under the rags. The furnace itself will be a metal container, for this it is recommended to use 1/2 of the barrel. The door should be small, its dimensions should be sufficient for loading fuel. Often, home craftsmen make a diesel stove with their own hands. When the door is made, gaps are formed that will play the role of a blower. The pipe should be made of tin and look like a samovar. Thus, it should consist of several knees.
The hole for the pipe should be located as far as possible from the door. In the central part of the furnace, you need to make a hole that will correspond to the diameter of the tube. If you place this element on the side, and not on top, then you will have the opportunity to get a surface for heating and cooking. Such a diesel fuel stove, the price of which is 7,000 rubles in stores, can be made by you yourself. You do not need to use wood as fuel, and you can adjust the intensity of combustion as you wish. Among the disadvantages are the fire hazard and unpleasant odors.
Making a furnace from metal sheets
The most common devices are made from steel sheets. This design is compact, and you can use the following dimensions: 70x50x35 centimeters. This is true, except for the chimney. Such a device will weigh only 27 kilograms, with its help you can cook food or connect water heating to it.
Considering the positive features, we can also highlight the fact that the device is absolutely not afraid of frost.
Preparation of materials and tools
You can make a solar garage stove if you prepare 4 steel 20-centimeter corners, steel sheets whose thickness is 6 and 4 millimeters, as well as a chimney. You will need a hammer, tape measure, level, file, grinder, welding machine, bending machine and electrodes.
Work methodology
You can buy a ZAZ diesel stove in a store, but you can make it yourself. For the tank, the material should be cut with a grinder, and then the workpieces should be connected to each other by welding. Further, holes are made in the body for installing a chimney, as well as for mounting the door. At the final stage, the legs are strengthened for the stability of the structure.
The ZAZ diesel stove is sold in the departments of the relevant goods, but it costs much more than the one you can do yourself. That is why garage ownersoften resort to this solution.
