Country houses in our country, as a rule, are not designed for living in winter, and therefore they do not require the installation of a heating system. For a comfortable stay on cool summer and autumn nights, many people heat their dacha with a stove-stove or use household heaters. These methods are ineffective, since a stove-stove requires a large consumption of wood, and heaters consume a lot of electricity, and both of them are able to heat only a small space around them. An excellent way out for those who like to spend time in the country is to install a long-burning fireplace in the house.
general characteristics
Solid fuel stoves of modern production are very compact and have a very aesthetic appearance. Most models have fireproof glass sealed doors for viewing the flames.
With all the variety of models, all devices consist of the following parts
- metal body (cast iron or steel);
- combustion chambers - furnaces (many models have a secondary combustion chamber);
- ash pan;
- air passages;
- a branch pipe for exhausting gases into the secondary chamber;
- cast iron grate;
- water jacket (for ovens with a water circuit).
Unlike a traditional stove, air is fed into the firebox of a fireplace stove not from below, but from above. The firebox has a control system that artificially restricts the air supply. As a result, the wood in the stove does not burn, but smolders. When wood smolders, pyrolysis gases are emitted, which enter the secondary combustion chamber, where they are burned, thereby significantly increasing the efficiency of the furnace.
Thus, the main advantage of the fireplace stove over other heating devices is the long operating time between the woods, on average, depending on the model's characteristics, from 6 to 12 hours.
Testimonials
Users of long-burning fireplaces first of all, of course, note the efficiency of operation - economical fuel consumption and long-term maintenance of temperature. The disadvantages include a long-term transition to a long-term burning mode, that is, the impossibility of quickly heating the room.
Also, when choosing models with a secondary chamber, it should be borne in mind that when the pyrolysis gases are removed, excessive condensation occurs. Therefore, the chimney should be positioned with a minimum number of transition sections.
