Despite the fact that recently modern technologies have been developing very intensively, stove heating does not cease to be relevant.
How to choose
A wood-burning stove can also be installed in a private country house. If you want to choose a model of such a device, you should know that such units are divided into brick, cast iron and metal. Each type has its own disadvantages and advantages.
Varieties of wood stoves
The cast iron stove is used as an emergency or additional heat source. Such devices are compact, they can be installed in any part of the house. To ensure the exit of combustion products, a special sleeve or chimney is used, which has a corrugated structure. If you want the rooms to warm up as quickly as possible, then you should choose just such a design, sinceafter the stove is finished, the chimney retains heat for a long time.
If you need a wood-burning stove, you can choose a metal version of it, which is heat resistant and quickly heats up the room. However, you should not count on the fact that a sufficiently thin metal will retain heat for a long time. If this parameter is one of the most important for you, then you should choose a stainless steel construction. However, do not expose the device to rapid heat, as weak seams may crack.
When a wood-fired stove is considered, consumers quite often prefer brick structures, as they are the most reliable. They are the most expensive, have a serpentine chimney that heats the room, retaining heat for a long time. If you compare with metal stoves, then the heating of the room with a brick structure is much slower, but this is compensated by the preservation of heat after the device is finished. A wood-fired brick stove can be used for cooking. Among other things, it can be used as a fireplace.
Classification of brick kilns
Such devices can be divided into three categories. The first are cooking devices that can be used for space heating. The devices have a stove, and the unit itself can heat several rooms at once. Brick home-made wood-burning stoves can also beclassic Russian, which are supplied with sun loungers. They can also be used for heating and cooking. But especially large devices are used for drying apples and mushrooms.
When making fireplace stoves, not only brick, but also metal is used. Such devices are designed not only for heating the house, but also for aesthetic enjoyment.
Stove wood heating options
You must have heard of pyrolysis or gas-fired ovens. The most common among them are devices called "Buleryan". Such a long-burning wood stove provides heat supply due to the fuel supply in the tank. The unique design allows you to lay firewood in an increased volume, and then set the mode, which provides for the burning of the first part of the firewood, while the second portion is in standby mode. The user can ensure this operation of the device by closing the blower damper. In this case, the wood will not burn, but smolder.
Such a long-burning wood stove can be used as a component of air heating. It provides fast warm-up, which is appreciated by gardeners. Its efficiency can reach 85%, but there are also disadvantages. They are expressed in extremely high requirements, which are imposed not only on the quality of the fuel, but also on the technology of chimney arrangement.
Characteristics of the furnace "Stropuva"
Everyone knows how to heat a stove with wood,but to understand the variety of models that are on the market, it can be quite difficult. Another type of gas generating installations is the Stropuva furnace. The shape of the device resembles an Indian candle, and the principles of operation include the need to lay firewood in a metal column. It is noteworthy that the furnace can also work on the basis of briquettes, as well as coal. Fuel is laid almost to the entire height, and then ignition is performed. The furnace closes, and then its work begins. The combustion zone moves lower as the fuel gradually burns out. The air pipe descends behind it.
You can adjust the burning intensity with the damper. Such a furnace works without reloading up to 48 hours, but if coal is used, the time increases to almost a week. The safety of the device is on top, as is the efficiency, as well as the economy and the possibility of functioning in tandem with a water heating system. Stropuva stoves are installed in houses where free space is very limited, as they are compact.
Auto Loading Designs
Wood-burning stoves are quite often made by craftsmen on their own, since their purchase is impractical due to the simplicity of the design. Such devices can be made from improvised materials, which reduces their cost. During operation, such units do not differ in increased fire safety, however, after manufacture, as well as induring installation, you must provide the room with fire-proof surfaces that will be in close proximity.
More modern equipment is the design, which provides for the possibility of automatic fuel loading. The device works with intensive combustion mode, since the firebox itself has a compact size. The fuel supply is provided by a complex method, and the command for the arrival of a new batch will depend on the temperature sensor. When its level begins to decrease, fuel enters the furnace.
Difficulty may arise in the fact that firewood must be made in the form of discs, the thickness of which is at least 10 centimeters. But there are many benefits. Among them, it is especially worth highlighting the possibility of regulating the intensity of combustion in automatic mode. This happens with the help of a tire and a blower flap.
Device with water circuit
Mini wood-burning stoves are made by yourself, as it is quite simple to make. However, if more serious tasks are supposed to be assigned to the structure, then a device with a water circuit can be used. The heat exchanger in such devices is built into the chimney or tube. The heated gases give off heat in the water. In order to increase efficiency, it is possible to equip such an oven with several tanks at once.
Conclusion
There are many models of wood-burning stoves on the market for related products today. These include "Teplodar", "Termofor", as well as "Ermak". Not bypassedrange without Finnish wood-burning stoves, which are distinguished by their high cost, compactness, durability and reliability.
