How to make a stove for a bath from metal. How to choose a stove for a bath depending on different criteria? Eternal sauna stove

When asked how a metal stove differs from a stone stove, many answer with a smile and without the slightest hesitation - the material of manufacture. For such an answer you can give a three on the five-point knowledge assessment system. To get a higher score, check out the main and fundamental differences, this knowledge will be very useful to you when making a metal stove for a bath with your own hands.

The stone oven is made of heavy bricks and therefore has a large mass. And all the bodies with large mass are characterized by significant inertia - they take a long time to heat up and give off heat for a long time. This is not bad for a bathhouse, but only under one condition - the firebox design must ensure the maximum combustion temperature of the wood, otherwise you will have to heat the premises for a long time.

A metal stove, on the contrary, has a low mass, heats up quickly and cools down just as quickly. These features put forward fundamentally new requirements for the firebox; the wood in it must burn for as long as possible. This is the only way to keep the oven hot for a long time.

Another important requirement for the firebox is related to the characteristics of the steel. When heated to just +150°C, martensite begins to decompose, it recrystallizes and polygonizes, changing physical properties metal

Look at the table, at this temperature the metal furnace does not change color, it seems to us that everything is normal, but this is no longer the case. Low-temperature tempering occurs at metal temperatures up to +250°, steel loses its resistance to dynamic loads.

The dark brown color of the furnace indicates that the metal has heated up to a temperature of +550°C, and at these temperatures medium-temperature tempering of steel begins, martensite turns into ferrite and cementite. Crystalline transformations of a metal change its linear characteristics. Have you noticed that sheet iron does not return to its original size after strong heating and cooling? It may swell, lose linearity, etc. The appearance of the stove becomes “very original” and far from the original.

But quite often the metal stove heats up even more and turns bright red. This color appears at a heating temperature of +900°C. And this is already a high tempering, the metal becomes very soft and ductile, and the phenomena of residual deformation increase significantly. The stove may warp, and the welds may not withstand the static forces that appear. How to prevent such negative phenomena? It will not be possible to completely get rid of them, but there are ways to minimize them. They will help increase the operating time of a metal stove and improve the comfort of bath procedures by increasing the maintenance time favorable temperature in room.

We are confident that this knowledge will help you minimize Negative consequences the metal oven is too hot. This can be done in two ways: special preparation of the metal and the peculiarities of the firebox design.

Preliminary metal preparation

After all the individual elements of the furnace have been cut out, first release the most heated parts. The sides and top parts and the firebox door heat up the most. Heat them in any way until red and cool slowly. After the holiday, the sheets may warp a little, this is not a big deal; use a hammer to straighten them to their original state. Check the dimensions again, if they have changed within noticeable limits, cut to the required parameters. This simple method will prevent the stove from warping during its operation.

Design features of a metal furnace firebox

Most metal stoves produce maximum amount heat in a minimum time, firewood burns out very quickly, surfaces heat up to high temperatures. It is impossible to maintain a normal and stable temperature in the steam room - you have to often add firewood. The room is either too hot or too cold. Why is this happening? Such ovens in most cases have grates. Their presence is justified in stone ovens; we have already mentioned that these ovens need to be heated quickly. Strong combustion of the flame is ensured by a large amount of air entering the flame through the grate.

Grate bars are made of metal rods, numerous sheet metal drilled holes or cast iron, differ in hole sizes, etc.

The firewood lies on the grate, the air flow is not regulated in any way; on the contrary, all measures are taken to increase draft, which automatically speeds up the combustion process. The top part of the oven heats up the most, a little less than the side, and the bottom and front heat up slightly.

Sheet steel prices

Sheet steel

This combustion mode has an extremely negative impact on both the longevity of the stove and the comfort of staying in the steam room. You have to periodically fill the fire with water; if there is not enough water, the flame will quickly flare up again; if there is too much, the combustion may stop altogether. In a word, a bath day brings a headache instead of pleasure.

What do we offer? The solution is very simple - do not make grates with a ash pit, let the firewood lie at the bottom of the stove, and not on the grate. Seal the firebox door as much as possible; you can use asbestos cord or mineral wool around the perimeter.

Make holes in the firebox door with an ordinary movable damper to regulate the amount of air supplied. One load of firewood in such a stove will burn for more than an hour; it is possible to regulate the heating temperature of the surfaces. In addition, the entire area of ​​the stove will warm up. Due to the absence of a grate and ash pan, the work on making the stove was simplified, and the efficiency and ease of use increased.

As you can see, all the knowledge was useful to us; it can be used not only during the manufacture of a stove for a bath. We've sorted out the theory, it's time to move on to practice.

Brief description and dimensions of the metal stove

Our design will have a separate tank for heating water and a heater built into the top of the stove. The flame heats the heater from all sides, this significantly increases the coefficient useful action ovens. You can take arbitrary sizes, take into account the parameters of the steam room and the number of people washing at the same time. We give the dimensions of our stove as an example.

1. External heater. Width 50 cm, length 50 cm, height 80 cm.
2. Internal heater. Width 40 cm, length 40 cm, height 50 cm. The distance between the walls of the inner and outer heater is five centimeters around the perimeter.
3. Bake. Width 50 cm, length 90 cm, height 50 cm. You can change the length of the stove, make it only for an external heater 50 cm long (then the water tank will have to be mounted on the side on stops) or increase the length to increase the volume of the tank.
4. Water tank. Width 40 cm, length 50 cm, height 60 cm. The tank holds 120 liters of water, which is enough to wash three or four people. Of course, hot water needs to be diluted with cold water.

Instructions for making a metal furnace

Step 1. Prepare materials. For manufacturing you need sheet steel, the thicker the better. But this can be very expensive, we recommend using sheets with a thickness of 1.5÷2.0 mm.

Metal sheets 2 mm

Step 2. Make a sketch of the stove indicating all dimensions and parts. Count the number of parts and their total area. This will help you decide on your sheet metal needs.

Diagram - example of a sauna stove

Step 3. Transfer the dimensions to the metal, cut out all the elements of the stove. Strictly observe the angles, they should be equal to 90°, make the opposite sides as identical as possible. You need to cut metal with a cylindrical grinder, follow safety rules. The grinder is a very dangerous tool, you shouldn’t joke with it, you can end up with too serious injuries. Burrs should be removed after cutting the workpieces. Before starting welding, double-check the quantity and dimensions of all parts.

Welding the furnace

Carry out work on a level surface, free the workplace from foreign objects. Let's start with making a heater for the stove.

Step 1. Place two side panels on the edge at right angles and start making tacks.

Adjust the current, electric arc should not overheat the metal - the seam will be uneven and fragile. Tack a few millimeters at a time; 4–5 tacks are enough for one corner. Constantly check the position of the sidewalls. After cooling, the weld seam moves the sheets to the side; align their position. Check the corners with a square. In the same way, grab the two remaining sides of the heater.

Step 2. Place the two prepared pieces together, adjust the corners if necessary and grab the opposite edges of the heater. You now have a heater box, all that remains is to make the bottom and lid.

Four connected blank sheets forming a box

Step 3. Grab the bottom and lid. When cutting blanks by hand, it is impossible to achieve ideal dimensions; there will always be deviations. This is not scary; before gripping the bottom and lid, install them in such a way that the difference in size is approximately the same on all sides. Gaps of a few millimeters will be welded without any problems. To prevent the lid from falling into the box, place one side on any stand, the main thing is that it is thin and does not disturb the desired position of the part. Make several tacks on each side of the heater; as always, pay attention to the position of the elements and, if necessary, correct deviations.

For the bottom of the internal heater, it is better to take a sheet 10 mm thick. This accounts for the main “blow” of the flame; a bottom that is too thin can burn out quite quickly and smoke will begin to flow into the steam room. When the heater frame is completely sealed, apply full seams.

Step 4. Make a door in the heater. Lay the box horizontally and mark it. You can cut a hole with a grinder or welding.

In our version, the heater consists of two parts: internal and external. The outer one should have dimensions around the perimeter larger than the inner one by about 10 centimeters for the passage of flame and smoke into the chimney. The internal heater is installed in the external one on pipes, the diameter of the pipes is arbitrary.

Step 5. Make holes in the lower part of the outer heater for the pipes, on which the inner heater will stand. If you don't have pipes, you can use metal rods or fittings. Make sure that the holes are horizontal and at the same height on both sides of the sides of the outer heater.

In the same way, grab the outer heater, stove firebox and water tank. Cut holes in the firebox for firewood. We recommend making holes in such a way that the cut parts of the sheet can be used as doors. To do this, make holes in the firebox 1 cm larger than in the heater; from this blank you can make a door for it - material is saved.

Assembly of individual furnace elements into a single structure

Step 1. Prepare four plates for welding two heaters. The dimensions of the plates in length must correspond to the dimensions of the opening of the external heater.

Step 2. In the upper part of the outer heater, cut holes for the chimney pipe. The dimensions of the hole must correspond to the pipe you have and provide the necessary draft in the firebox.

Prices for chimney pipes

chimney pipe

Step 3. Weld metal strips approximately 2 centimeters high around the perimeter of the hole in the stove under the heater; the dimensions of the opening should correspond to the dimensions of the external heater.

Weld a 45x45 m corner from the inside of the firebox; one side of the corner should go into the hole under the heater and form a square. The side of the square should be 0.5÷1 cm smaller sizes heaters. The structure will rest on these shelves in the oven opening. To increase the sealing of the heater installation, use sheet asbestos, cut strips two centimeters wide from it and place it between the bottom of the heater and the corner stops. Plug-in connection will make it easier to install the stove in the steam room. The stove structures are made of thick steel, are large in size and weight, and it is impractical to weld the heater to the stove. It is much more convenient to make it collapsible/dismountable, this will facilitate transportation and installation.

Step 4. Weld the firebox door on the hinges. Double weld all pre-made structures. It is better to lay the seam from the outside and from the inside.

Step 5. Insert the inner heater into place, it should stand on the pipes and be in a vertical position. Using prepared plates, connect the holes of the inner and outer heater. If the fastening of the internal heater is in doubt, secure it on top with pieces of metal, angles or fittings. These fasteners will be hidden; you can use any scrap metal.

The hole is closed by a door. There is an asbestos cord around the perimeter of the door, the lid is secured with bolts

Step 6. Weld the top cover of the outer heater. Cut a hole in it for the chimney pipe. Check the quality of all seams and correct any gaps if necessary.

The heater is almost ready. The only backward thing is to make a technological hole to clean out the soot falling from the pipe and think about installing the furnace. Soot will accumulate on the lid of the inner heater. Side outer wall make a hole in the heater, close it with a bolted lid, use asbestos cord to seal it. Carefully grind all corners with a grinder and remove burrs.

We suggest installing the stove at metal legs. The height of the legs is at least 40 centimeters, asbestos must be placed below, and on top a metal sheet. These are the rules fire safety.

We have already mentioned that each master can make his own changes and adjustments during the manufacture of the furnace, taking into account his own preferences and individual characteristics steam room The changes concern not only the size of the furnace, but also its design. We give some tips for possible use.

It is better to make the legs in the form of longitudinal slides - the pressure on the flooring is significantly reduced, the loads are distributed evenly over several floorboards. This is very important, the stove itself is quite heavy, and you also need to keep in mind the weight of stones and water. To make the legs, any available metal of suitable size is suitable, and for the slide, you can take a 50x50 mm square. The ends of the slide should not protrude beyond the perimeter of the stove, otherwise your legs may be injured.

You can put refractory bricks on the bottom and sides of the stove - the metal heats up less and the heat lasts longer. There are two types of firebricks: heat-conducting (heavy) and heat-insulating (light). The latter are used for laying smelting furnaces; they keep the surfaces cold, despite the enormous temperature inside. Make no mistake, do not take such materials. Fire-resistant bricks for a sauna stove must conduct heat well, pay attention to this. If you plan to lay bricks, then increase the size of the firebox by the size of the brick.

The doors of the firebox and heater can be made from plates obtained after cutting out the holes. To do this, make the cuts as even as possible; to reduce the width of the cut, use thin disks. Working with them is more difficult and longer, but in the end you will still save time - you won’t have to waste it on making individual doors. It goes without saying that metal is also saved.

The dimensions of the doors will be smaller than the dimensions of the openings by the width of the cut; the doors may “fall” inside the firebox or heater. To eliminate such situations, weld with reverse side hole stops for doors. You can use narrow strips of metal. It is advisable to weld the stops along the entire perimeter of the holes, and not at several points, this way you will increase the tightness of closing the doors.

It is better to make it from stainless steel; to weld stainless steel you need to use special electrodes. Adjust the current welding machine especially for stainless steel, remember that it is more difficult to cook and requires some experience.

If small children wash in the bathhouse, be sure to make a protective fence around the stove. It can be portable or stationary, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the fence guarantees the safety of children.

If during operation of the stove it turns out that its power is not enough to heat the room, do not worry. The heat transfer performance of the stove can be significantly improved by increasing the effective area. Weld any metal plates on the sides and top, they will act as radiators and heat exchangers. There is another way to increase heat transfer. For this you will need arced pipes with a diameter of approximately 50 centimeters. Weld them to the sides of the stove, one end of the pipe should be located under the stove, and the other above it. As a result of the temperature difference, a draft will appear in the pipes; cold air is drawn in from the floor under the stove and thrown out hot above it. The stove will work on the principle of the Buleryan stove.

We recommend making an adjustable air supply on the firebox door. The easiest way is to make a blower from a pipe. You will need a piece of pipe approximately 10 centimeters long and a piece of sheet metal of the same size. Make a hole in the middle of the door to fit the diameter of the pipe. Cut a circle from sheet metal with a diameter several millimeters less than the nominal diameter of the pipe. Drill two holes in the walls of the pipe; they should lie strictly on the same line and on the axis of the pipe. The distance of the holes from the end of the pipe is at least half the diameter, otherwise the damper will not completely block the gap, which will impair the ability to adjust the amount of fresh air supply.

Insert a piece of wire rod of the appropriate diameter into the holes, bend the upper end into a handle. Weld a circle cut from sheet steel to the wire rod, fix the manufactured damper to the hole in the firebox door.

There is another way to make adjustable door openings. Drill holes with a diameter of 10÷20 mm in the lower part, the centers of the holes should lie on the same line. Weld a metal plate at the bottom and top of the holes; the distance between the plates and the door should be equal to the thickness of the valve. The plates will serve as guides for the valve. As necessary, open one or more holes when firing the stove.

These are not all the possible improvements to a metal stove; think for yourself and engage in technical creativity. This process brings real pleasure, trust the professionals.

What Russian person doesn't like a bathhouse? From time immemorial, washing in a bathhouse was considered useful and healing. Previously, almost every peasant family had its own bathhouse. It was a place where a person could relax not only with his body, but also with his soul.

With the advent of large cities, public baths began to gain popularity, where many people came at once. However, most people living outside the city prefer to build their own bathhouse. Experienced builders and engineers know what material to buy and what furnace to install. And for those who do not have this knowledge, we have created this rating. It contains the top the best ovens for a bath, based not only on dry statistics, but also on reviews of real people.

This stove model is designed for heating large rooms with an area of ​​14 to 24 cubic meters. If you pay attention to her appearance, you can notice that there are no sharp corners, which, according to Feng Shui, collect evil energy. This type of stove is suitable for any bathhouse, regardless of the style in which it is equipped.

There is a function for installing a multi-section steam generator. It is used to produce light, superheated steam 10-20 minutes after heating the stove. Also, this stove model provides easier fire protection due to the fact that the chimney is located at a distance from the steam room partition. Using a steam generator, you can also adjust the microclimate in the steam room, creating either a Russian bath or a Finnish sauna.

• Fast heating.
• Humidity setting.
• Large volume of heater.

• The chimney must be cleaned regularly.
• Used for large rooms, but with a small area it quickly overheats.

Vasily, 42 years old.

I installed this stove in my sauna 2 years ago. At first I couldn’t help but be happy. It warms up quickly, the entire steam room heated up in 40-50 minutes, and the area is quite large. There was no smoke as such, in general. all advantages. However, I recently noticed that the iron from which the stove is made is very thin, because of this, when used about 3 times a week, the walls became deformed. Now I'm thinking about replacing the oven. So take it at your own risk, I can only say one thing - it won’t last long.

8. Varvara Terma - Kamenka

A good stove for a sauna. It is suitable for people who like to experiment with the purpose of the device. The standard package does not include a tank for heating water, however, if necessary, modification of the model is allowed. You can also change the position of the tank, even installing it on its side. You can also use this stove as a heating boiler. In this case, batteries with water heating are connected to it.

The volume of the hot water tank in this case can reach 60 liters. Such dimensions help to obtain a sufficient amount of hot water without spending more time heating it. The volume of the steam room for heating which this stove can be used can reach 24 cubic meters. The dimensions of the heater are also impressive, while the weight of the stove itself can be about 70 kilograms.

• Convenient installation.
• Profitable price
• Easy to use, does not require additional tools.

• The hot water tank may take longer to heat up than other models.
• Condensed water droplets may appear and then flow down the pipe.

Victor, 53 years old.

I have been using this oven for about 1 year. I didn't notice any major downsides. The only thing is that you have to clean the chimney about once a month, otherwise the draft begins to deteriorate. I'm pleased with the quality of the steam. The steam room heats up within an hour on average. It doesn't take much firewood. The overall impression is positive, so I advise all bath lovers to purchase this product.

This oven also does not have sharp corners. This appearance allows the heat generated to be distributed more evenly. There are 2 models from the manufacturer: open and closed heater. If you need a Russian bath with high air humidity, it is better to limit yourself to closed type. However, if you want to look at the stones in real life and splash water on them, you will have to install additional tools to increase air humidity and make steam lighter.

All stoves from this manufacturer have specific shapes that will definitely be remembered by visitors to the bathhouse. There are a large number of types of “Scythians”, so it will not be difficult to choose the necessary stove for the volume of the room. Also, special attention is drawn to the door for firewood, which can be made in both classic and glass styles. It is possible to connect a tank for heating water. However, it is worth considering that standard equipment does not include this add-on, so it will have to be purchased separately. Fortunately, you can find several types from the same manufacturer.

• High quality material.
• Original design.
• It is possible to add a tank for heating water.

• Heavy steam.

Valery is 32 years old.

I purchased this stove 2 years ago. At first I was happy with everything, but after about six months I began to notice disadvantages. Firstly, the chimney quickly becomes dirty, which is why you have to clean it very often. I can't identify the reason. He carefully took care of the cleanliness of the chimney and cleaned it regularly. Secondly, after prolonged use it becomes increasingly difficult to clean the glass on the firebox door. Again, I used special cleaning products, but they no longer help. In general, it’s a pleasure to use for the first six months or a year, but then problems arise.

The Finnish manufacturer has been working in this field for 60 years and now shows very good results. Harvia Legend 240 Duo is distinguished not only by its attractive appearance, but also by its high-quality device. The large stone compartment holds up to 200 kilograms. This stove is suitable not only for a Russian bath, but also for use in a sauna, because it can produce high temperatures while leaving humidity at a low level.

Very often the premises allocated for the steam room are small in area. However, the innovations that were used in the design of the stove allow you not to worry about fire safety when installing it. Items located in the steam room can be located depending on the wishes of the developer. The large volume of the heater compared to analogues is also an advantage. Firstly, it allows you to produce a large amount of high-quality steam. Secondly, you can lower the temperature without losing the amount of steam. This can help people who are contraindicated in a bath due to high temperature.

• Large compartment for stones.
• Fast heating of the room.
• Large amount of steam.
• High quality material.

• It is possible to add a tank, but it must be purchased separately.

Vladislav, 56 years old.

I bought the stove half a year ago. Very pleased with the purchase. When I first installed it, I was surprised that there was a lot of free space left in the steam room. Of course, I saw that the oven was compact, but I didn’t think it was that much. However, steam quality and heating time are not affected. About 30-40 minutes is enough for the steam room to warm up to 80 degrees. The steam is light and pleasant. And the design is nice too.

Everyone knows the expression “enjoy your steam.” So, when using this stove, everyone describes the steam as light and pleasant. This model can heat the steam room up to 100 degrees in an hour. In this case, the steam will not be heavy. Why is this happening? It's all about the closed heater. To get a pleasant steam, you need to heat the stones to 350 degrees. In a closed heater they heat up to 600.

A water supply system is used to the center of the heater. There is a convector casing that reduces heating time. Soot will not accumulate on the walls of the firebox, thanks to it round shape. Also, many bathhouse owners complain about the difficulty of cleaning it from ash. With this device this problem disappears. There is a retractable panel that allows you to remove ash during combustion. The walls of the firebox are narrow, but this does not affect its operation in any way. The quality of the steel is high and it is also made using chrome. It's worth putting in the bathhouse.

• Steel with chromium impurities.
• Impressive volume of the heater.
• Rapid heating of the room.

• Thin metal in some parts.

A truly good wood burning stove. I purchased it not so long ago, but I am very happy with the purchase. The steam room warms up quickly, and not much wood is consumed. Beautiful design. The heater is spacious, there are enough stones. By the way, this was the first time I saw such a high-quality closed heater.

Quality products. The stove is ideal for a Russian bath. The walls are not as thin as in the previous model, due to which the lifespan quality work increases. To obtain light, high-quality steam, a two-level system is used. A similar tool is used in the Hangar. Heavy steam first passes into the first compartment, then moves to the next, where it receives the necessary lightness. The unique design will also not leave anyone indifferent.

High quality steel ensures long service life. There is a funnel for water supply. A limiter is installed on it, with the help of which it will be possible to prevent excessive water from getting onto the stones. However, for a large room you will need a different oven. This model is designed to heat 8-18 cubic meters. Based on customer reviews, we can conclude that the stove requires attention.

• Fast heating.
• Light steam.
• High quality steel.
• Perfect design.
• Large compartment for stones.

• Not suitable for large rooms.
• There is a noise in the chimney when burning large quantity firewood

Dmitry, 40 years old.

I am satisfied with the purchase. First of all, I would like to evaluate the quality of the steam. When I bought it, the seller said that the steam would be light, but I couldn’t even imagine how light it would be. In general, the steam is excellent. The heater is also comfortable. I used a different model before. When I bought stones, I bought them out of habit, but there weren’t enough, so I had to buy more. However, such a number of stones is only a plus. The steam room heats up quickly, literally 30-40 minutes, although the volume is not very large. Looks nice too. I haven't noticed any cons yet.

Our rating of the best stoves is completed by Hephaestus PB-03. This stove is radically different from the previous one in its heating capabilities. It can bring a room with a volume of up to 45 cubic meters to the desired temperature. Thick cast iron walls give the stove massiveness and volume. Due to this thickness, the service life automatically increases, since it is very difficult to damage or burn them.

Fans of high temperatures will love it. Great oven. The efficiency is 90%. This is much higher than other models. The room warms up quickly. The steam quality is also excellent. It turns out very light and not dry. Retains heat for a long time. So you can steam to your heart's content, without worrying about adding firewood for a long time. The only thing that can affect the choice of this stove is its weight. With basic contents, the weight is 350 kilograms, so the floor in the bathhouse must be strong and preferably reinforced. Best result the stove will show if it is lined with refractory bricks, which will also affect its heating time.

• Reliable design.
• High efficiency.
• The heat is retained for a long time.
• Suitable for heating large rooms.

• Impressive weight.
• High price.

Vladimir, 56 years old.

The best sauna stove I've ever seen. When purchasing, I tried it on for a long time, the price scared me off. However, he did not regret the costs. The steam room warms up very quickly and it’s pleasant to steam. True, I had to strengthen the floor in the bathhouse, since I did not count on such a giant.

In second place is the Bystritsa stove, a high-quality Russian-made product. Optimally suited for a Russian bath, it quickly warms up rooms with a volume of up to 18 cubic meters.

The stove adequately performs not only its immediate task, but will also become a real decoration of the steam room interior thanks to ceramic cladding, aesthetic appearance in a minimalist style.

The design of the stove is designed in such a way that heat flows evenly throughout the steam room, including the floor. For this purpose, a convector is provided, which also ensures an optimal level of humidity in the room.

The furnace firebox is made of a new seamless steel pipe 8 mm thick. The back and front walls are also made of high-strength steel and have a thickness of 5 mm.

Another feature of this model is its versatility. That is, the design of the stove allows it to be additionally equipped with mounted tanks with a volume of 60-90 liters, a removable closed heater, a mesh for stones on the back wall, a mesh for the chimney, a heat exchanger for heating water, and a combustion portal that is adjustable in length and makes installation easier.

All parts of this furnace are assembled at special machines, there are no butt joints welds, only semi-automatic welding is used. In addition, the product is equipped with adjustment of the intensity of firewood combustion; for this, a gate valve and a convenient ash pan are used.

• Pleasant and mild heat;
• Uniform distribution of heat flows;
• Versatility;
• Two installation options (firebox from the steam room, current from the dressing room);
• Aesthetic appearance;
• Fast warm-up;
• Durability and practicality;

• Not detected.

Review from Gennady, 38 years old. Super stove! For little money I got a durable, efficient and, very nicely, beautiful sauna stove, the work of which I have been happy with for about a year now. Not too big and not too small - it fits perfectly into my new bathhouse. Heats the steam room very quickly. The steam is pleasant, light and soft. The materials are high quality, nothing cracks or bursts. The traction is amazing. In general, if you need an ideal stove for a sauna, then I definitely recommend Bystritsa - you can’t go wrong.

In first place we have the Teplyn Lux stove - a product with a cast iron door equipped with heat-resistant ROBAX glass, a removable front decorative frame made of stainless steel, and decorative removable linings on the casing.

For the production of furnaces, steel 6 mm thick is used. The quality of the material ensures an almost unlimited service life of the furnace. The product has a rounded design, so the heat load is distributed evenly. In addition, such a stove will fit perfectly into any bathhouse interior.

Which sauna stove is better to choose?

In conclusion, I would like to give advice on choosing a stove for a bath. I can’t say anything about the model, but you need to choose one that suits the conditions of the bathhouse. It is worth considering the size, properties and specifications. Also, don’t forget about reviews. However, the full picture can only be obtained by using it yourself.

(function(w, d, n, s, t) ( w[n] = w[n] || ; w[n].push(function() ( Ya.Context.AdvManager.render(( blockId: "R-A -345261-8", renderTo: "yandex_rtb_R-A-345261-8", async: true )); )); t = d.getElementsByTagName("script"); s = d.createElement("script"); s .type = "text/javascript"; s.src = "//an.yandex.ru/system/context.js"; s.async = true; t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t); ))(this , this.document, "yandexContextAsyncCallbacks");

Choosing a sauna stove is the most important process. The main criterion is power. The calculation must be correct, it is important not to make a mistake. If the power is insufficient, the bath will take a long time to warm up and cool down quickly. If you install a boiler that is too powerful, it will be impossible to enter there. There are other selection criteria. How to choose the right stove for a sauna?

Stove power

Power is selected based on the calculation, the contents of which are given below. To carry out the calculation, we measure the main dimensions: length, width and height. To obtain the net volume of the bath, it would be enough to simply multiply these numbers.

However, it is so easy to make a mistake. How to make a difficult choice - choose a stove for a bath? When calculating the volume, you need to make the following adjustments:

• Typically, the steam room has the most effective thermal insulation. The walls are first insulated, only then sheathed with finishing material. It is customary to use thermal insulation with a layer of foil, which reflects heat back into the bath. The problem is that when a finished log house is ordered, thermal insulation is often neglected. This is acceptable, but it is worth considering that wood is a very heat-intensive material, its thickness is from 20 cm. Part of the heat will be spent on heating the logs themselves.
• If combustion part The stove is placed in the dressing room, this is a “gap” in the thermal insulation. You need to take this into account in your calculations.
• Doors and windows must be carefully insulated and tightly fitted. Otherwise, this too must be fate.
• If the decoration includes baths ceramic tile, brick, natural stone, part of the heat will be spent on warming them up.

Only taking into account all of the above can you correctly calculate the volume that will need to be heated by the device and choose which stove is better for the bathhouse. To take into account all these parameters, a correction factor is used - 1.2 m3 per 1 m2 of poorly insulated or heat-absorbing surface.

Example: the steam room has a size of 2x3x2.2 m. There is an uninsulated window of 0.8x1.2 m and a door of 1.8x1 m. Let's calculate the volume: 2x3x2.2+(0.8x1.2+1.8x1)x1.2 = 13.2 +(0.96+1.8)x1.2 = 16.5 m3. We accept power: 16.5m 3 x 1 kW ≈ 17 kW. note that 13.2 kW(“pure” volume) would not be enough for us.

Additional selection criteria

Power is the main criterion, but far from the only one. What types of sauna stoves are there? In order for the result to fully meet our expectations, we need to consider the following:

• product material;
• firebox design options;
• steam type;
• various designs;
• type of heater;
• operating time from one fuel fill;
• features of heating the bath;
• what fuel is used.

Only taking all this into account can you determine which sauna stove is better.

Material of manufacture

A sauna stove can be made from:

• cast iron;
• become;
• bricks

Which stove for a bathhouse is better, taking into account the material of manufacture? It is not entirely correct to compare them with each other. Each material better solves a particular problem and, according to experts, creates a special atmosphere.

With a modern assortment furnace equipment, experts give the palm to special heat-resistant alloy steel with the addition of chromium. Steel, by far, is the most reliable and durable. The atmosphere in the bathhouse does not suffer either. Such furnaces do not burn oxygen, since during combustion there is no oxidation process in them.

When choosing reliable sauna stoves, the website recommends paying attention to Finnish companies. They deservedly occupy a leading position in this market. Their products have one drawback - high price. Although, the same “Harvia” also produces quite budget models.

Sauna stove from Harvia

The production of cast iron stoves is not particularly popular today. The disadvantage of a cast iron stove is its heavy weight and shorter service life compared to the previous version. Heating occurs more slowly. This is worth taking into account when deciding which stove to choose for a bath.

Cast iron stoves are not very popular today

The choice of a brick stove is a tribute to tradition. Installing this is very labor-intensive. Good craftsmen and before there wasn’t much. Now you won't find it at all. You can try to build a stove yourself, but is it necessary? This work is not easy - you need to correctly build the foundation and chimney, and the result will clearly be inferior to modern industrial designs. Brick requires more energy to warm up, so fuel consumption will increase.

At the same time, although such a stove will take longer to heat, it will also give off heat much longer. It all depends on your financial capabilities and personal preferences - sometimes such a stove is a good choice.

The brick option is long, expensive, and difficult.

Features of the firebox location

The firebox can be located in a closed steam room, but it is much more convenient when it is remote. This complicates the selection of a cast iron, steel or brick stove. You can add fuel at any time without disturbing those in the steam room. This slightly reduces the thermal insulation of the bath, but not critical. New thermal insulation all junctions and seams will solve this problem. But the door to the steam room will open less often.

The new firebox door, made of heat-resistant glass, will allow you to monitor fuel consumption. The remote firebox itself must be made of thick heat-resistant steel with the addition of chromium. This design is an indicator of quality; it will not burn out for years and will withstand the highest temperatures.

Steam source

First, let's figure out what kind of steam exists. There are:

• Dry steam is the most beneficial for the body. The stones heat up to +500 0 C. It’s worth splashing on them warm water- it instantly turns into steam. This steam evenly heats the entire bath and does not increase humidity.
• Wet steam - occurs as a result of boiling water directly in the bath. Hot water is also heated by a heater, which is equipped with a water tank. This method does not require a hot water supply. For washing, use water directly from the boiler. It is also a heat exchanger.

How to choose a stove for a bath correctly and quickly in this case? Fans of wet steam can organize a similar process in a sauna. There is no need to install a boiler with water for this. It is enough to buy a special device that will produce steam. The principle is the same, only the steam generator runs on electrical energy.

Design requirements

When choosing a stove for a bathhouse, you need to take into account the requirements for the design of the stove. She must:

• ensure gradual and uniform heating of the bath;
• heat the room to +80 0 C (under the ceiling) in 3 hours;
• ensure adequate fire safety;
• eliminate the possibility of smoke and soot getting into the bathhouse;
• heat the stones to +500 0 C;
• provide ease of use;
• have an aesthetic appearance.

Heater type

What kind of stove should be in a bathhouse? There are two types of heaters:

• open;
• closed.

What are these types of sauna stoves?

Open - they heat the air in the room directly with the heat given off by the stones. The best option for frequent visits. This option is often used for individual use. The bath heats up quickly, but also cools down quickly. It is needed at the summer cottage.

Closed - when deciding which stove to install in the bathhouse, pay attention to the stove that has a damper that covers the top layer of stones. The room will warm up more evenly due to convection. Fuel is used more economically. There is also a flip side to the coin - you will have to start heating the bathhouse in 3-4 hours.

Which stove is best to put in a sauna, taking into account the type of heater? Here everyone chooses for themselves. We discussed their pros and cons above. But from experience, we will say that it is better to use stoves with a closed heater.

Duration of operation on one fill of fuel

Another one important characteristic- how long will it work on one load of fuel? The longer the better. For example, the efficiency of a conventional brick kiln is about 85%, and a kiln that implements the technology long burning due to the pyrolysis process - 91-95%. Accordingly, the second option will work more efficiently. Efficiency assessment is needed to make the most efficient use of fuel, the amount of which may vary.

The stove can operate not only on solid fuel (wood), but also on gas, liquid fuel, and electricity. In each specific case, you need to calculate the best option. Everyone's initial data is individual. Accordingly, everyone will have their own result. When choosing a stove for a bath, take into account the characteristics that the manufacturer indicated in the passport. If you decide to make a stove yourself, calculate and evaluate the possible efficiency in advance.

A standard wood-burning brick stove with a remote firebox will burn for about 4 hours. Long burning technology will increase this time to 30 hours.

Features of room heating

There are two options: hot and cold. Hot - the walls of the oven, heating up to more than 100 0 C, warms up the entire room. Cold - the walls of the oven are insulated and do not heat above +40 0 C. The room is heated due to special channels in which air circulates. Each method has its pros and cons.

Hot - heats the room faster, but there is a chance of getting burned. It is necessary to construct a protective screen made of bricks.

Cold is safer, the sauna heats up more evenly and cools down longer, but the process takes longer.

Type of fuel used

A sauna stove can operate on almost any type of fuel:

• natural gas;
• solid fuel (firewood);
• wood processing products (compressed sawdust pellets);
• liquid fuel;
• electricity.

The classic option is a wood-fired sauna. Experts say that no other type of fuel is capable of creating such an atmosphere. IN modern conditions, this statement is quite controversial. Modern manufacturers with high rating, offer analogs that run on both gas and electricity. According to technical indications, they are not inferior to wood-burning stoves. Gas is the cheapest type of fuel, and the cost of firewood is steadily rising. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the choice.

Choosing a wood stove

When choosing a good wood stove, you should pay special attention to the following factors:

• design features;
• principle of operation;
• manufacturer (more precisely, its rating).

Design Features

The combustion temperature is high, so that the stove does not burn out, it must be made of high quality metal. The oven will have to be heated for at least 3-4 hours. It is worth remembering that the design of such a furnace includes the following elements:

• Ash pan - used to remove combustion products (ash).
• Firebox - it happens different designs. It is most preferable to install an extended one, which will allow you to install the stove in the wall so that the firebox is in the adjacent room. The thickness of the metal must also be sufficient.
• Gas duct and gas afterburning chamber - used in pyrolysis boilers long burning. Allows the stove to burn for up to 30 hours on one load of fuel.
• Heater - directly heats the air in the bathhouse.
• Chimney - serves to remove gaseous combustion products.

The need for an additional foundation and the complex design of the chimney have led to a decrease in the popularity of traditional wood-burning brick stoves.

Principle of operation

According to the principle of operation, wood-burning stoves are divided into

• long burning;
• periodic combustion.

The advantages of a long-burning furnace are obvious: fuel savings as a result of the pyrolysis process. Design feature- the presence of an afterburning chamber for gases obtained as a result of pyrolysis. Disadvantage: soot formation. It is not recommended to pour water on stones, which, by the way, require much less. Otherwise, soot may be released into the bathhouse. The heating temperature of the stones is no higher than +350 0 C. But fuel savings can be up to 500%.

In a batch furnace, the stones are heated with an open fire to a temperature of about +500 0 C. The soot simply burns. You can safely pour water on the stones.

Manufacturer

The rating of manufacturers of bathhouse stoves is confidently headed by the Finns and Swedes. Particularly popular are manufacturers such as Kastor, Harvia and Helo (Finland) and Tylo (Sweden). The Russians cannot yet compete with these manufacturers with any confidence.

Choosing an electric oven

The main feature of an electric furnace is the constant need for electricity. If up to 7 kW a standard 220V network can be used, then over 7 kW will require an additional 380V line. This may not always be convenient and not everywhere, and, in general, it is possible. A new sauna stove can be too expensive.

Advantages of electric heaters

The advantages are obvious:

• do not require construction complex structures(chimney, foundation);
• can be installed in almost any bathhouse where there is electricity;
• safety;
• a closed system with a heat exchanger is possible;
• durable, stainless steel;
• ease of use.

Main selection criteria

What kind of electric stove is needed for a sauna? The selection criteria for specialists are standard:

• presence or possibility of supplying the required voltage;
• heat exchanger power;
• the price of electricity in a specific region.

Selection of a gas furnace

A gas oven completely eliminates any independence. This is a source of increased danger, so installation and connection work can be carried out by specialists with the appropriate approvals and licenses.

Advantages and design features

Natural gas is the cheapest fuel. This is its main advantage. Efficiency is the highest when using low-temperature equipment, up to 109%. This explains the high popularity of this equipment.

However, natural gas is not available everywhere. This is the main drawback.

When choosing a gas sauna stove, check the following:

• Modulation type burner. This burner automatically selects optimal mode work, depending on specific conditions. This allows you to minimize the negative effect of underburning fuel.
• The coolant (hot water) should be heated to +70 0. The gas temperature should not exceed +110 0 C.
• Use a coaxial chimney.
• Have a gas recirculation system.

Under such conditions, the efficiency will be maximum.

About gas-wood stoves

There are modifications that can operate on both gas and wood stoves. This allows you to solve several problems at once:

• increases ease of management;
• If there is no gas, you can use firewood.

Installation Requirements

Only specialists who have all the necessary licenses and permits are allowed to install gas furnaces. All fire safety standards must be observed.

Conclusion

Which sauna stove is best to choose for a Russian sauna? It is impossible to give a definite answer, but it is worth choosing between wood and electric stoves, because gas is not supplied everywhere. Further, main criterion to choose - oven power. We have given the calculation formula above. The remaining parameters depend on your desire and wallet.

Having correctly determined the initial data, selecting a stove for a bath according to the parameters is not difficult. All characteristics are indicated in the product passport. Among manufacturers, the Finns confidently hold the first place, offering, among other things, fairly budget-friendly systems. The presence of a Russian-language website and the design of the case also influence the choice, which is not at all as small as we would like.
