Alternative heating in the country - wood stove

types and device heating wood-fired ovens

Divide wood heating stoves in several types:

• Metal (steel);
• cast iron;
• Brick.

However, in spite of the material from which they are made, furnace design is almost the same:

• Furnace (which laid the wood);
• cast iron grate for coals;
• Ashtray for collecting and storing ashes;
• Chimney exit carbon monoxide.

Steel wood stoves

advantage of these furnaces is that they are available of different sizes, so quite convenient to transport and install.Heat-resistant steel, which made such devices, quickly warms the room, but, unfortunately, just as quickly cools.

Wood stoves made of cast iron

compact dimensions allow such a facility to carry it to any room.Structural properties of cast iron allows the stove to heat up very quickly and for a long time to keep warm.As the chimney using a corrugated sleeve.

brick oven

brick wood-fired ovens - the most ancient and reliable way to heat a private home or cottage.In addition, it is capable for a long time to keep warm, it is also possible to prepare a meal.To build such an oven can be their own hands, but it is better to seek help from a specialist, because the design is very complex and requires certain skills and knowledge.

Modification of heating devices can be very different: with stove, stove bench and a fireplace option.

to wood-burning stoves

requirements for the selection, purchase and installation of wood-fired ovens should be approached very seriously, not only in terms of efficiency, but also security.Place the oven on a special stand unheated area in the 1.5 - 2 times the size of the device and remove all flammable materials.This is done in order not to accidentally fallen embers could cause a fire.The chimney must be displayed on the outside, and be sure to watch out for his serviceability to the carbon monoxide did not begin to go into the room, because it can lead to very negative consequences.

If you come to the country only on weekends, when out with her must scrape all coals of the furnace.The size of the furnace, and therefore the furnace according to the size of the heated space.It is not practical to put too bulky oven in small rooms, and vice versa, a small stove will not heat a very large space.

types of wood-burning heating stoves

By type of heating steel furnaces are classified into:

• Hydrolytic (two-part).Its feature is that the heat is generated not only from the combustion of wood, but also from the hydrolysis gas.The principle of operation is as follows: when the gas valve is closed, is formed in the lower chamber, which falls through the grate into the upper chamber, and raises the temperature.
• Single chamber.It gives significantly less heat, so the heat is used for small spaces.A popular use such furnaces because of low cost.
• convection.It is a unit in the lower and upper parts of which are lattice through which the cool air rising upwards, is heated and enters the already hot room.This heats up and the design itself.However, this unit has a significant drawback - it prolonged operation leads to the accumulation of combustion products in the building.Therefore, you should not use her more than one or two times a week.
