Stove-fireplace for a long-term gorenje: we create warmth and comfort in a country house

Modern gasification of even settlements close to megacities has actually been frozen for about a decade. Even in the prosperous Moscow region, you can easily find old settlements in a 50-kilometer zone where there is no gas and it is not known when it will be. In cottage settlements under construction, there is documentation and supply, but the buyer of a cottage or plot is often faced with the fact that central heating is out of the question. But if there is a stove-fireplace for giving a long–term gorenje, then the lack of central heating is not a problem – rather the opposite.

Advantages of autonomous heating

In Europe, all the northern territories do not actually have central heating. Practically on any plan or photo of a brick house there is a stove, a fireplace or a place allocated for them at the project stage.

Fact! Even small-sized cast-iron stoves (fireplaces) in a wooden house are able to cope with the heating of very large rooms.

It just so happened that, unlike the former USSR, there are no areas with huge deposits of coal, oil and gas anywhere in Europe, so no one wants to burn already expensive fuel with the loss of more than a third of the heat in pipelines from even the most efficient CHP. In the post-Soviet space, on the contrary, they are used to giant boiler houses, and therefore, when the word “stove” is used, most people remember with a smile the “bourgeoisie” of the 20s of the last century. However, even a homemade lopsided “bourgeoisie” has an efficiency of more than 80%, while the CHP, although it produces 90% in the form of heat, 35% is lost in the heating main, and when distributed in an apartment building through pipes, it takes from 5 to 10%, depending on the peak of consumption.

Electric heaters are ineffective (of course, there are Asian technologies for laying nichrome spiral threads directly in wall blocks, but in Russia this is still far away), since only air will warm up, and ventilation naturally blows it out. If the electric heater is turned off on a winter night, the temperature in the room will drop by 2-3 ° C in 15 minutes. Since fresh air is also needed, in order for a room of 16-30 m2 to be able to warm up, you will need a device with a capacity of 3-5 kW, working all night with fully insulated windows, and it is better not to look at the electric meter when the window is open.

Modern cast-iron stoves-fireplaces for the house in terms of design and efficiency have gone far from their predecessors.

Useful advice! For a country house, a fireplace oven with a water circuit or air heating is several times more efficient than connecting to a central heating system.

The currently existing stoves-fireplaces have a number of advantages:

• economy;
• ease of ignition;
• fast heating of the room;
• versatility of application — some models are equipped with cooking surfaces;
• mobility and compactness;
• simplicity and safety of operation;
• the ability to remove ash during operation;
• diverse design;
• long service life.

Of the disadvantages, only the need for firewood and a place to store them can be cited.
The stove-fireplace with a water heating circuit is gradually becoming a familiar attribute of a modern country house. At the same time, the question “How to install a stove-fireplace in a wooden house?” with the modern development of small-scale construction technologies is not insolubly difficult.

Stove-fireplace for giving long-term gorenje

The difference between a long-burning unit and a conventional stove for a cottage or a fireplace is evident from its name.Gorenje. Unlike stoves and fireplaces of conventional design, modern gorenje fireplaces for a long-burning house are able to function on a single fuel tab (firewood or pellets) for several hours.

Modern stoves-fireplaces are a good alternative to centralized heating

Principle of operation and design

During normal gorenje (in gorenje or in the furnace of an ordinary wood-burning stove), most of what is able to burn, evaporates from the flame without benefit: unburned carbon monoxide, methane, propane, hydroamines and many other combustible substances are carried out by convection air flow from the combustion zone, where they instantly cool down.

The principle of operation of long–burning furnaces, as well as pyrolysis boilers, is the same – complete combustion of fuel to CO2, H2O and ash, that is, mineral residue.Gorenje

Interesting to know! Pyrolysis (from Greek. pyr — fire, heat and lysis — decomposition, decomposition) — thermal decomposition of organic compounds (wood, petroleum products, coal, etc.) without air access.

The heating furnace is selected based on the volume of the heated room and the installation location

The complete combustion of fuel in wood-burning stoves-fireplaces of long-term combustion for the country is due to the design features of the combustion chamber.Gorenje It is divided into two sectors: in the lower one, firewood is burned, which is slow due to limited oxygen access. An injector and a nozzle are installed in the upper sector, which operate in afterburning mode. This configuration makes it possible to burn raw materials in the smoldering mode, which leads to pyrolysis. The gas formed during high-temperature gorenje wood in a sealed chamber is called pyrolysis, and the furnaces themselves, creating such conditions, are also called gas-generating.

Types of furnaces for giving long-term gorenje

The main division of fireplaces-stoves intended for installation in wooden houses is the separation according to the material from which they are made. Furnaces can be steel or cast iron.

Steel furnaces heat up faster and give off heat to the surrounding space faster, heating the room to a comfortable temperature. Therefore, it is preferable to install them in those country houses that are used sporadically and by collisions. If a suburban building is intended for long–term or permanent residence, including in the cold season, it is better to install a cast-iron furnace in it, optimally connected to a heating system with some kind of coolant (water or air).

One of the most popular models is the “Bulerian” type oven. The furnace of this type has an improved heat exchanger design and, provided it is equipped with a collector and a water casing, can be used for heating several rooms. In addition, it can also serve as a cooking stove.

Choosing a stove-fireplace for home heating

The basic principles of choosing a stove (fireplace) for a brick or wooden house are simple. A specific model is chosen based on:

• from the features of the operation of the heated structure (how and how long it is necessary to keep the heat in it);
• the volume of the heated room;
• locations of the heating unit.

A fireplace oven with a hob and an oven is a universal unit for cooking and autonomous heating of a country house

Depending on the burning rate of one bookmark , stoves and fireplaces for heating a private house are divided into three classes as follows:

• A – less than 3 hours of operation on a one-time fuel tab;
• B – from 7-8 to 10 hours;
• C – more than 10 hours, which in reality is hardly achievable (only gas-generating furnaces are capable of this).

A high-quality Class B furnace should provide 8 hours of heating on one tab.

Numerous photos of brick fireplaces for cottages will help you choose a constructive option, taking into account both the necessary parameters and the situation of the premises.

Fireplace-oven for home with your own hands

Installing a stove-fireplace for a brick cottage with your own hands is not a myth. It is not difficult to choose a stove-fireplace for a cottage and a house. Existing models are available in various sizes and configurations. Catalogs of heating equipment in chain stores in most cases contain descriptions and photos of stoves-fireplaces in the house.

For the smooth operation of the stove-fireplace, it is necessary to take care of the supply of firewood

An indispensable condition for installing a stove or a fireplace of long–term gorenje in any country house is the presence of a chimney in it, necessary to create traction and remove carbon monoxide. Also, the heating unit must be located away from flammable elements of the situation, and the floor under it must be protected with metal sheets.

But it is impossible to convert ready-made masonry fireplaces-stoves for a wood-burning house into gas-generating ones, in principle, if you literally cling to the terms. Gorenje process itself requires very precise control – “by eye” is not enough, sensors are needed. A couple of minutes of leaving the temperature regime is enough, and the pyrolysis process will be “extinguished” — it will have to be restarted, starting with ignition. Hence the old semi–respectful term “stove maker” or “stoker” appeared – a specialist who knew how to control the operating mode of the furnace, was valued as an experienced locomotive driver.

It is necessary to install stoves-fireplaces on heat-resistant bases

Therefore, fireplaces and stoves of long-term gorenje are produced either in factory conditions, or according to the drawings of craftsmen with their welding machines and extensive experience. But the market reacts quickly: there are plug-in furnaces made of cast iron or steel for already laid out stoves and fireplaces made of brick. However, due to the physics of pyrolysis, these “inserts” have fixed dimensions – no more than 70-80 cm, so their power is average. At the same time, the installation of a stove (fireplace) in a wooden house, its connection and maintenance are no different from standard stoves-fireplaces.

The optimal choice and proper arrangement of a modern stove-fireplace in a country house not only helps to create a cozy atmosphere, but also solves the problems of autonomous heating and hot water supply.
