Make a pot in a bath with his hands

good alternative to brick bathhouse furnace - boiler with a metal casing.It can be done by hand, with welding skills, and the quality of it will not yield to the purchase.The material for the manufacture of boiler may serve as a metal pipe, thick-walled barrel or sheet metal.

Features boiler unit for furnace

boiler, as well as any other furnace for the bath, must necessarily be composed of the following structural parts:

• furnace in which combustion occursfuel;
• Chimney, which is given by the smoke from the burned fuel;
• ash pan to extract ash;
• Kamenka, to redistribute and dissipate heat;
• water tank.

can make the boiler and without heater, bath heated in this case will take place only on the walls of the boiler and tank, but couples in a bath will be difficult, because the heat from the furnace will only be used for heating water, while it quickly boils and fillsthick steam bath.

boiler furnace is made of thick-walled metal - it carries the greatest thermal load, and a thin metal quickly burned.The bottom of the furnace is required to equip the grate through which ashes from wood poured into the ash pan.The thickness of the grate should be not less than 5 mm.

Ashtray - a space under the furnace, whose purpose - to collect her ashes and convenient retrieval.Through the ash pan door there is the air intake into the furnace, whereby the fuel is burning.

chimney - part of the combustion system.He must be provided with a valve or slide valve, the opening degree of which can be controlled traction.Chimney passes through the pot or stove, heats them and ends chimney.

Kamenka - built or container mounted in the boiler, which laid special stones for the bath.The volume of the heater depends on the size of the boiler itself and bath too small heater is not able to heat the room, but too much will require long-term heating of the stones, during which time the water in the tank begins to boil, and a bath filled with water vapor, it will be hot and uncomfortable.Therefore, you should follow the rule: the volumes of the heater, the water tank and the furnace should not be much different.

Required tools and materials

For manufacturing bath boiler will need the following tools:

• welding machine;
• Bulgarka with cutting wheel.

addition of sheet metal or barrels also need:

• trim valves and channels for making the internal cross-walls;
• thick-sheet (minimum 5 mm) for metal grate;
• pipe about 100 mm in diameter;
• metal hinges for doors;
• valve for the tank.

To create a screen that allows better distribution of heat in terms of separating the steam room, use fire-resistant brick.It spread along the outside walls close or at a distance, and they lined the inner walls of the furnace.

boiler for a bath out of the barrel

most simple design, which allows the boiler to make from scrap materials.Carry out a boiler of a metal barrel with a wall thickness of not less than 3 mm - thinner walls burn through quickly.

1. bottom of the barrel is cut and instead set the bottom of the metal thickness of not less than 5 mm welded to his feet from scraps of an I-beam or sill.
2. At a distance of 3-5 cm from the bottom of the grinder cut out window size 15x10 cm - this will be the blower door and ash pan.Samu door made from sawed metal piece.Is welded to the door hinges and the handle-latch.Secure the door in place.
3. above ash to 5-7 cm inside the barrels are welded grate - metal sheet cut to the shape of the barrel with holes for air intake and ash eruptions.Holes typically perform longitudinal, center, at 1/2 the diameter of the grate length.You can just weld in a series of grate bars of thick rebar.
4. at 5-10 cm above the grate, by analogy with the blower door cut out the door of the furnace, a minimum size of 25x40 cm, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to lay the wood in it.Just welded handle-valve, loop, put the door back into place.The walls of the furnace is lined with refractory bricks.
5. Above the stove firebox is located at the height of the furnace is selected as 1/3 of the height of the barrel less the ash.The partition between the furnace and the stove is not solid, it is made of scraps channel, while the holes between them should not exceed the size of the stones.Height of the heater is approximately equal to the height of the furnace.In the middle of the heater it is necessary to make a window with a door - through the inside of the boiler lay the stones, it also lends itself to the water when steamed ..
6. upper part of the barrel acts as a water tank.The partition between the heater and the tub must be continuous seams well cooked, and the center hole walls made approximately 100 mm in diameter to which the pipe section is welded a height twice larger than the height of the water tank.Heat the water in a tank is carried out by passing through the pipe of hot smoke and heat radiation from the stones in the sauna stove.
7. upper part of the tank operates as a cap, through which water is poured.You can make a hole, but then the tank would be inconvenient to wash.In the lower part of the tank welded scrap of half-inch pipe, and it is secured by a thread tap.

resulting boiler cleaned of scale and rust, and optionally coated with a heat-resistant polymer coating - it is sold in stores that sell furnaces for baths.

boiler sheet metal

in progress in a similar way, but the cross-section of the boiler is not round, but square or rectangular.The basic material - the sheet metal thickness of 3 mm.The doors of the boiler can be made from scrap metal or weld ready, purchased at the store.To begin implementation of such a boiler is necessary from the drawing as the correct cutting helps to save material.

boiler sheet metal consists of a water-heating tank (s) to the chimney (1) passing through it;heaters (b) with the lining (3) and sinuses (4);the combustion chamber (c) with the brick lining (5) and the firebox and ash box doors (6, 7).In each section Navarro stops (2).

Location structural elements at the same time is the same as in the boiler of the tube: bottom ash tray, ash pit, combustion chamber above it, above it - the stove.The boiler can be made collapsible, if sections are not connected to each other by welding.Smoke insulation joints, in this case made of asbestos.

boiler sheet metal allows slightly improve the design and make the furnace door to the dressing room or the washing compartment, thereby extending the furnace.Water tank in an oven rectangular section can be mounted above the heater and one of the walls.In a second embodiment, placing the water tank wall will serve as a screen from the hard infrared radiation.
