Water heating - we are looking for profit in the ordinary fireplace

Types of heating fireplaces, their thermal power, material and functionality

try to briefly explain how to make the house a water fireplace with his hands.Imagine cast iron or refractory steel conventional device.To create a home water heating, put enough into the furnace heat exchanger, in which the circulation of the coolant will occur.It is not necessary to use water, antifreeze is also nice.Heat exchanger itself can be a water jacket or coil.Some place the capacitance between the chimney and flames.

Dense cold water masses squeezed up the heated water, which expands.As a result, the house has a ready source of heat in the form of a gravity system.

Thermal power can be varied.For example, for small models it is 8 kilowatts.They are suitable for rooms of 80 sq.m.

Heating stoves may be used in a single circuit with electric, gas, solid fuel boiler or solyarovoe.To connect the device to the overall scheme of heating used gidrostrelku.

There is also a model with a capacity of 32 kilowatts.They are able to heat the house with a total area of ​​300 sq.m.

As for the material, the above mentioned that the fireplaces are made of cast iron or refractory steel.However, because of very massive iron products because of their lower mechanical strength.Cast iron fireplace suitable for heating small premises.To make a big fireplace, will have to use a lot of iron, and therefore its value is impressive.For such purposes the use of 4-6 mm thick steel, wherein the steel is also a water jacket.But the frame of the door and the grille to make firewood iron.

products Mass in shirt ranges from 145 kg and above (without coolant).

Features

Some modern fireplaces are provided such functions:

• additional insulation of the furnace;
• cleaning glass;
• built-in automation;
• use of pyrolysis;
• air supply from the street, etc.

Additional insulation of the furnace to protect the steel from burning, and thus increases the device resource.Due glass cleaning it is not deposited soot.Integrated Automation allows you to control the damper.Air supply from the street may need for fireplaces with a large thermal capacity.

cost price of water a fireplace, as well as on any other things, has a lower and upper limit.In the market you can find both cheap and expensive models.

For example, a modern 8-kilowatt fireplace will cost about 1080 euros, but the fireplace insert, with different functions, up to 3000 euros.However, you can always get to the nice discount or make your own hands Water fireplace.It's enough to put into the furnace brick fireplace heat exchanger or stainless steel.Of course, the efficiency will be lower, but it is an economical and easy option.

installation features and fuel requirements

Virtually all modern fireplaces use wood from solid hardwood as softwood resinous and will often clean the chimney, glass furnace itself.Firewood should not be too large.Depending on the fire, the size can vary from 20 to 40 cm. In this case, it is better not to use wood humidity of more than 20%.

For fireplaces with gravity system to the requirements of the standard layout:

1. After fireplace set collector.
2. Put the expansion tank.
3. Make spill bias.
4. parallel bump radiators.

using bottom or diagonal circuit when connecting radiators.
