Not all settlements are supplied with natural gas, and therefore one has to look for alternative heating options.
Today there are a lot of them, but at the same time, electricity or diesel fuel are quite expensive, so most often consumers choose solid fuels.
A large number of devices operate on it, but not all foreign samples correspond to our climatic conditions, therefore, domestic products are in the greatest demand. It is represented by various enterprises producing solid fuel heating boilers of our Russian production. And each of them has its own characteristics, which will be discussed below.
Siberia products
These solid fuel boilers differ from other models by the presence of a steel hob, which allows them to be used not only for heating the room, but also for cooking. They can operate on wood, coal and other types of solid fuels, have a power of up to 30 kW and are capable of heating private households and summer cottages.
Solid fuel boiler Siberia with a water circuit, presented in the form of a boiler, can provide residents with hot water.
Solid fuel boilers manufactured in Russia under the Siberia brand with a water circuit are also produced. Water heating in them is carried out with the help of electric heating elements, which can also be used in the process of cooking, both in an independent mode and when burning fuel. The presence of a built-in thermostat in the heating element forces the boiler to turn on to maintain the required temperature.

The outer walls of the device have a polymer coating that protects it from rust and mechanical damage. The large furnace allows the use of wood up to 60 cm long, and the coal can be loaded from above through cast iron burners. A thermometer is built into the boiler drum to indicate the temperature of the heating medium.
The advantage of this equipment also includes:
- Ability to work on coal, briquettes and wood
- Small size
- It can be used with any chimney
Of the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting only the systematic cleaning of ash and control over the combustion process, with the need to periodically add fuel.
Due to its design features, the solid fuel boiler Siberia has good reviews and is the best option where there is no gas.
Heating equipment Viadrus
The products of the Czech manufacturer are represented by a wide range of models. The most common is the Viadrus Herkules U22 C / D model. It has been produced since the end of the last century, and during this time it has not lost its relevance, thanks to constant improvement.
The solid fuel boiler from Viadrus has two modifications:
- Standard
- With increased firebox
Moreover, it will work equally well on any type of solid fuel, be it:
- Coke
- Coal
- Wood
- Briquettes
The boiler has a fairly voluminous dimensions and impressive weight, since it is made of cast iron. For such equipment, a separate room should be allocated - a furnace.
Viadrus solid fuel boilers have positive reviews, thanks to their high-quality performance and modern equipment. Appliances with a power of 20 kW are capable of heating a room up to 200 m². It is equipped with a top-mounted thermomanometer that monitors temperature and pressure.

Prices for Russian-made boilers
Prices for solid fuel boilers made in Russia vary greatly. They depend on factors such as: heat exchanger material, power, temperature control method and the presence / absence of automatic fuel supply.
The cheapest version of a boiler made in Russia will cost 180 dollars and will have a steel heat exchanger, passive temperature control and a power of 12 kW.
A more expensive model with a cast iron heat exchanger, passive cooling and a rated power of 20 kW will cost 330 dollars.
One of the most expensive boilers produced in Russia by the Bourgeois-K company will be a two-circuit solid fuel boiler with an efficiency of 85% and a nominal power of 24 kW. Such a heating system will cost in the area 1200 dollars.
In conclusion, we can say that Russia produces a huge number of different boilers, suitable for the most severe conditions and the most varied needs.
Heating equipment model Hearth
Devices of this brand are made of steel and are most effective when heating rooms up to 250 m². These are the products of OOO Gazstroy, they are considered one of the best among local counterparts.
Solid fuel boilers Hearth are of three models:
- New
- Standard
- With heating elements
Since all devices of this manufacturer are universal, they are equipped with gas burners.
Solid fuel boiler The outbreak has reviews only in a positive way, despite the fact that it is still only 2 years old. It has a modern design and is equipped with a draft regulator.
Standard equipment is divided into one and two-circuit. The latter are equipped with a coil. Their power varies from 6 to 31 kW.
The modern modification is equipped with two special holes for heating elements and has an elongated firebox designed for firewood.
But their greatest advantage is the possibility of converting to another type of fuel - gas. So when the line is connected, the boiler does not have to be changed, it will be enough to install an appropriate gas burner in it.
Types of Russian-made solid fuel boilers
Solid fuel boilers can be classified by the material of which the heat exchanger is made.
Heat exchangers of Russian boilers can be made of steel or cast iron. Cast iron heat exchangers have a feature that they cool and heat up for a long time, due to the fact that cast iron has a high heat capacity. Also, this material is fragile, which is why cracking may occur if the return water temperature is too low. But with proper operation of a boiler with a cast iron heat exchanger, it will last much longer than a boiler with a steel heat exchanger.
Solid fuel boilers with a steel heat exchanger heats up and cools down much faster than cast iron ones, and such heat exchangers are also not afraid of temperature changes. However, they corrode and burn out faster.
Since most houses in Russia are built "for centuries", preference is given more to boilers with a cast-iron heat exchanger.
Zota heating apparatus
The products of the Krasnoyarsk plant are known to the domestic buyer for such brands of equipment as Dymok and Zota Mix. They are of good quality and have proven to be efficient and economical devices. Solid fuel boilers Russia Topol became one of the newest developments of the plant.They are designed for heating homes and industrial areas and have a welded steel body.
Their main distinguishing feature is the way of fuel loading.
They are equipped with two fire doors:
- Vertical
- Horizontal
And firewood can be loaded through any of them. The structural features of the combustion chamber allowed the manufacturer to achieve the efficiency of the device in 70%. Solid fuel boilers Zota are equipped with an electrical kit with a power control panel.

In addition, the Zota Carbon solid fuel boiler can be included in any heating system. This allows them to be installed in small spaces.
Ease of maintenance, solid sheet steel for the body and, as a result, a minimum of welded seams, made Zota boilers one of the most popular with consumers.
Volatile technology
Some boiler models are dependent on electricity or, during operation, use electricity for circulation pumps.
If there are no power outages, it is better to buy volatile equipment, which is much more comfortable to use.
Automatic solid fuel boilers regulate the temperature and intensity of the fuel supply themselves. They are more expensive, plus they need to be connected to the mains. But thanks to automation, they save fuel and owner time. Thus, the heating of the house becomes efficient and does not require tireless attention.
Equipment brand Prometheus
Russian solid fuel boilers for long burning are produced by various manufacturers. But not all of them can claim the role of leading production, like Sibenergoterm.
It produces a solid fuel boiler Prometheus with a capacity of up to 45 kW. Which can be used for heating even production halls up to 450 m² in size.
The main type of fuel for them is coal. But in comparison with other models, they are small in size, economical consumption of firewood, non-volatile.
The range of such devices is equipped with a volumetric loading chamber, which ensures long-term operation. Made of steel with anti-corrosion treatment, the solid fuel boiler Prometheus has reviews in which they speak of its reliability and efficiency.
The functional feature of the apparatus is a significant external area of the heat exchanger, enveloped by hot exhaust gases and flames, which guarantees high heat transfer, and made it possible to achieve high efficiency. The thermal insulation of the front walls of the boiler also contributes to an increase in this indicator.
The loading of firewood is done manually, while during the burning of the lower logs, the upper layers dry out, which also increases the efficiency. For ignition, the combustion flap is opened, which leads to increased draft. It is closed after the combustion chamber has warmed up, and then the boiler operates as usual.
The ash drawer has a convenient design and is easy to remove, which greatly simplifies its cleaning. The set of the device also includes the necessary devices for this:
- Poker
- Scoop
The use of only high-quality materials in the manufacture of the device has significantly increased the period of its operation.Its heat exchanger is made of boiler steel, and in the areas exposed to the greatest heating, there is a refractory brick that can withstand up to 1800 ° C. This prevents the walls of the heat exchanger from burning out.
The control system of the device does not depend on electricity. It is equipped with a thermostat that controls the opening of the damper. The presence of branch pipes on both lines allows the device to be used in various heating systems. And ease of operation makes it possible to use industrial solid fuel boilers in the most remote villages.
Features of the device of a solid fuel boiler
The most popular equipment for heating country houses is solid fuel or direct combustion boilers. The popularity is due to the simplicity of the design and reliable operation.
A distinctive feature of long-burning boilers is:
- large dimensions of the fuel chamber;
- the way of burning occurs from top to bottom;
- cylindrical shape of chambers.
Combustion in the chamber is supported by the flow of air through a telescopic tube, which, under the influence of a load, constantly descends as the fuel burns. Thus, complete combustion of firewood occurs within 12 hours, and coal can burn up to 2 days or more, depending on the volume of the chamber and the fuel used.
Equipment for pellets deserves attention, it is expensive, but quite promising. The units are automated, and the absence of inertness determines the efficiency of efficiency up to 85%, provided that dry and high-quality fuel is used.
Boiler Smoke
Equipment under this brand is produced at the Krasnoyarsk plant. It is used for use in residential buildings and can provide them not only with warm and hot water, but also with food, thanks to the presence of burners.
Solid fuel boiler Dymok can work on wood or coal. It can be equipped with heating elements as additional equipment. Usually, the composition of a combined solid-fuel apparatus includes:
- A group of 3 heating elements with a capacity from 3 to 9 kW
- Water and air temperature sensors
- Control block
The boiler can be equipped with one or two burners. Antifreeze is allowed as a coolant in the system.
The horizontal loading firebox is very easy to use. Its depth is calculated for firewood up to half a meter long. The device is able to provide heating of water even with a small amount of fuel.
Some modifications of the Haze are made without a plate, this significantly increased the power while maintaining the dimensions. It can be installed in a room equipped with a chimney.
All products of the company are certified and comply with the existing quality standards. This makes solid fuel boilers Dymok, reviews of which correspond to their quality, the most demanded.
