Furnaces for a private house of long burning. which charcoal stove to choose for the house. how to choose the right model

In the apartment, we do not need to worry about warmth in winter - central heating is responsible for creating comfort. But dachas and country houses that are not intended for permanent residence are often heated using stoves. But an ordinary oven is boring and unproductive. There is a more interesting and modern solution - fireplaces with a long burning system. On one load of firewood, they can work up to 12 hours, filling the house with truly cozy warmth. And what are the evenings spent in front of the fireplace, under the soothing crackling of burning logs and watching the fire. There are many models on sale - there are very expensive and quite budget ones. In this rating, we have included only the best long-burning fireplaces that will warm you on long evenings in the country or in a country house.

Requirements for high efficiency furnaces

To ensure the efficiency of a solid fuel furnace was 85% or more, it is necessary that the design meets the following requirements:

• the indispensable presence of a grate, so either install it after re-equipping the structure, or immediately plan the laying of a stove with a grate;

  

  Grate

• the whole stove should be warmed up from bottom to top, while heating should go from bottom to top, and below the stove should be heated more; it is this nature of heating that will allow you to keep warm for 24 hours, while the difference in air temperatures in the room under the ceiling and below will be minimal;
• even with an open view, the oven should not cool down quickly - take care of sealing the connections;
• there should be no cracks on the surface of the walls of the furnace and along the joints, if the furnace is attached to the main wall: it is advisable to plaster it or even lay out facing glazed tiles;
• a good system for cleaning the stove and chimney from soot must be provided;
• organize high-quality, correct combustion of fuel - this is not only the appropriate design of the firebox, but also the proper maintenance of the stove both during combustion and during prevention (see article How to properly heat the stove with wood and coal);
• furnace channels should be regularly cleaned from ash;
• the design should provide for a minimum movement of gases through the pipelines, there should be no unnecessary bends in the chimney;
• Finally, the design of the oven should be as simple as possible.

Cast iron

A huge number of modern fireplace stoves are made of cast iron. They are compact, easy to use, depending on their huge brick counterparts, do not require the installation of a foundation in the wall, do not need special care. It is enough to buy such a stove, bring it home and connect it.

Cast iron advantages:

• high thermal conductivity;
• easily withstands high temperature and its fluctuations;
• attractive appearance, compact size;
• one of the highest in comparison with peers efficiency indicator (up to 85%).

Long burning fireplace stoves

And if we talk about efficiency, then more and more often the owners of summer cottages and country houses are inclined to choose long-burning fireplaces. In such devices, not only solid fuel is burned, but also pyrolysis gas, which is obtained as a result of combustion. Gas, which includes methane, hydrogen and carbon oxides, is obtained when there is a minimum amount of oxygen in the combustion chamber and the wood only smolders, but does not burn. For burning pyrolysis gas separate firebox intended, which is located above the combustion chamber.
In the combustion chamber, the bottom is made in the form of a grate, under which an ash pan is located - a special box for ash and solid combustion waste.

In long-burning fireplaces, the door of the combustion chamber is made of refractory transparent glass and is hermetically closed. The tightness allows you to restrict air access to the chamber, and the transparency allows you to admire the play of fire in the fireplace.

Long burning home fireplace stoves differ not only in high efficiencybut economical, stylish design and mobility. Most models are able to maintain a given temperature for ten hours. But they differ in high requirements for the installation of the chimney and the installation of equipment.

In addition, the wood for them must be dry.

Choosing a stove

Central heating, especially for a separate house, is a rather expensive pleasure today, which is also supplied intermittently. Therefore, many people buy ready-made ovens, trying to choose models that combine excellent performance and acceptable cost, and, of course, high efficiency. However, solid fuel fired stoves are considered less efficient than gas fired because they have low efficiency. At the current prices of coal, peat, fuel oil or firewood, heating costs for a building will be high, even higher than for central heating services - unless the care is taken to purchase or build a high-efficiency stove.

Which oven models should you consider when choosing? If the financial side of the issue is decisive for the choice, then take a look at the domestic models, since foreign analogues have a higher price, using the same principle of fuel combustion. These will be heating furnaces such as "Professor Butakov", "Teplodar", "Varvara", "Termofor" and the like.

Furnace "Professor Butakov"

These models are distinguished by high efficiency, since heat losses with smoke are minimized in them, the uniformity of the combustion process is adjusted, there is practically no underburning of the bookmark and CO.

You need to be guided by the design of just such stoves if you plan to design and lay out the stove yourself. In any case, you cannot do without a finished project, you will need to use not only brick for the construction of the furnace, but also sheet steel, preferably not less than 4 mm thick - so why reinvent the wheel if it will soon cease to be produced?

Analysis of the models on the market

Long-burning furnaces are produced both in Russia and abroad. At domestic points of sale of heating devices, you can easily select high-quality, economical and functional equipment.

Fire-battery

Novosibirskaya produces several types of heating stoves.

Many regions of the country have a harsh climate, therefore, the arrangement of the fuel system is of great importance. Furnaces for houses on wood burning for a long time are becoming indispensable helpers for suburban housing and summer cottages. They are in demand in places where there is no access to other energy sources. Conventional stoves are not as efficient as long-burning wood-fired models. With the use of such equipment, there is no need to build a furnace with your own hands. A long burning stove allows you to create more convenient, beautiful and cheaper heating.

A beautiful stove can be a great decor element.

How else can you try to improve the efficiency of a heating stove?

There are the following small secrets to increase the efficiency of the oven:

1. Increase in efficiency due to additional use of heat leaving the chimney. Additional pipes can be built into the chimney, in which air or water flows - and they can be heated with exhaust gases. How to use the resulting heat carrier later is a matter of technology (see article External chimney - do it yourself). 2. Increase in efficiency by changing the airflow. If you additionally install a metal pipe with a damper in the blower, at the very beginning of the ignition of the furnace, the heat will not be carried away into the chimney at such a high speed.

3. Above the hob, an extractor hood can be installed, which, during the heating of the oven, will take heat and remove it, for example, to another room. Such an air vent can be carried out even through all rooms to the farthest room, in which, as a rule, the coldest air is.

These are albeit indirect, but effective ways to increase the efficiency of your stove, and, consequently, save on fuel. Since the heating season in our climate lasts 6-7 months, an increase in the efficiency of the stove will lead to a significant reduction in costs. Go for it!

Cast iron furnaces: advantages and disadvantages

Cast iron heating units have proven themselves from the best side, due to the ability of cast iron to accumulate heat and give it away for some time after the fuel has completely burned out. In addition, the list of advantages of a cast iron stove includes:

• Corrosion resistance and durability. Gray cast iron has a high carbon content and does not rust when exposed to condensate, so such a summer cottage stove is not afraid of cold kindling and can be used irregularly during the winter season without harm. A cast iron firebox is not damaged by acids formed when ash and soot are mixed with condensate moisture.
• Compact and attractive design. Wood-burning cast-iron stoves look aesthetically pleasing and stylish, organically fit into the interior of the room. The unit does not take up much space in a room or kitchen of a country house.
• A variety of models differing in functionality.

The disadvantages of heating units of this type include the high price. Cast iron stoves cost one and a half to two times more than steel ones. Also the disadvantage is:

• large weight of cast iron products, which complicates and increases the cost of delivery and installation of the heater;
• the tendency of cast iron to crack as a result of a temperature shock - you should avoid getting cold water on the hot surface of the heating and cooking stove;
• brittleness of cast iron - the material is capable of splitting with a strong point impact with a solid object.

Cast iron stove has a high price

Country stoves are inferior in efficiency to boilers, since they are capable of fully heating only one room, emitting thermal energy and providing convection. In neighboring rooms, heat will only come with heated air. If the unit is supposed to be installed in a house with several rooms, it is recommended to choose a model with a built-in water circuit or, in addition to the oven, use electric convectors in the adjacent rooms, which will help maintain a comfortable temperature level.

Main characteristics and parameters of a high efficiency furnace

Let's figure out which parameters affect the efficiency of the furnace:

• the obligatory presence of the possibility of connecting water heating to both one and two or more circuits;
• a powerful water heater for electric options, or a good firebox for solid fuel stoves.At the same time, keep in mind that solid fuel stoves are non-volatile, that is, they work regardless of the presence of an electrical network or a gas pipeline on the site, and this moment can be decisive when choosing. So, for example, if at the summer cottage there is an unstable power supply and the voltage in the network often "sags", then choosing a volatile furnace model in this case is irrational;
• fuel-fired stoves operate regardless of the presence of an electrical network or gas pipeline on the site
• it is possible to control the combustion process and regulate it as needed;
• the ability to use equipment for heating buildings with a sufficiently large area (for certain models or types of ovens);
• ease of maintenance;
• high efficiency.

All fuel costs can be drastically reduced without even calculating the furnace efficiency: costs are reduced up to 10 times (!) when using a slow burning catalytic furnace. It runs on any fuel, including cheap agricultural waste and wood processing - wood chips, sawdust, shavings. This will be especially beneficial for modern settlements in an ecologically clean area and various small enterprises where such types of fuel are obtained as a result of their production activities.

Slow-burning ovens with high efficiency can be used not only for space heating, but also for cooking, drying fruits and berries, mushrooms, even lumber and small logs.
