Heating the house is the main issue thatrequires careful and detailed planning of the future heating system. A water-heated stove with a fireplace can be an excellent option for you to reduce heating costs and improve the comfort of your own life. And most importantly, all the work on the modernization of the usual heating system does not require a large budget.
The heating system using the stove isA great way to get heat for a country house or cottage, when there is no possibility to connect to the gas supply network. After all, wood-fired boilers do not give the room that charm, do not bring aesthetic pleasure from the observation of a living flame.
Design features
The fireplace stove for a house with water heating hassteel chamber in which the combustion of fuel, heating of the incoming cold masses and heat transfer to the coolant is carried out. In most cases, the design consists of the following elements:
- Steel case. Steel thickness up to 6 mm.
- Safety and air valves.
- Circulation pump.
- Filter.
- Radiator.
- Instrumentation - thermometer and pressure gauge.
- Expansion tank.
The control of the furnace device is made manually. For these purposes, there are various valves that regulate thrust, and, accordingly, the power of the boiler.
Basic properties
So, consider the main properties possessed by a stove with water heating with a fireplace:
- A classic oven can set off in 60 minutesheat in the amount of 6500 kcal. This is quite enough to heat a small building. Heating of this type is perfect for a small country house. While the stove with a water heating circuit is more efficient several times, it allows you to heat large areas. At the same time for heating will need the same amount of fuel. Thus, such heating leads to savings.
- Отопительная система, в конструкции которой A stove with a boiler for hot water heating is also provided. The combination of the two systems significantly increases productivity. The simultaneous use of these options allows for 60 minutes to get about 21,000 kcal of heat, which is enough to heat an area of about 300 m2.
- Very often coal or wood is used for heating. The cost of this fuel is quite acceptable. Its delivery is also not difficult. You can combine the use of wood with coal.
- A stove with water heating with a fireplace does not require continuous heating. Bookmark fuel must be done only a few times a day. Regardless of the outside temperature of the house will be warm.
- If we compare the efficiency of a conventional furnace with a combined type of heating system, then the level of this indicator is 35% higher. When using firewood, these figures are excellent.
- To create a heating system with a water circuit, you will need to purchase materials, the cost of which is affordable and acceptable to many.
Advantages
- A water-heated stove with a fireplace starts up quickly.
- Thanks to air heating, there is a quick warm-up.
- The beauty of living flames and pleasant crackling logs.
disadvantages
- For boilers characterized by a higher level of security.
- The presence of the oven leads to the need for frequent cleaning.
- The furnace can warm only one room, in others it will be cool.
Varieties
Structurally, this equipment can be twotypes: with open and closed firebox. In the latter case, the firebox is made of cast iron or steel, the door is closed, and the heat is directed to the room. When the firebox is open, the room air is directed to the oven, and a significant amount of heat enters the street.
It is possible to locate the furnace unit in any placeexample, near the wall, in the center or in the corner. The most practical option for placement is an angular fireplace stove with a water heating contour. It can be installed even in a small room.
The corner oven can be symmetrical orasymmetric. In symmetrical equipment, two rear walls are located in the corner of the room. If the back of the unit is recessed into the wall, then this is an asymmetric oven. Corner fireplace perfectly fit into any interior, they can be interesting to arrange the room.
Open connection system
In this heating system coolantenters the expansion tank, which is located at the highest point of the house, for example, in the attic. The movement of fluid is carried out under the influence of gravity, that is, by gravity.
Открытая система, в которой установлена stove with a water heating circuit, characterized by the lack of electrical appliances for its operation and ease of installation. To date, the advanced equipment of this type is equipped with an additional element - a heat exchanger. In it, the coolant moving into the heating devices and into the hot water supply system is heated by the liquid coming from the coil, which is located in the furnace.
Closed connection system
The movement of water does not occur by gravity, but underexposure to pressure. The coolant enters the storage tank using a circulation pump. The tank is installed at any height, as in such a system there are no restrictions on its placement.
Advantages of a closed system
- Existence of system of protection of the heat carrier frompossible overheating ensures the safety of the equipment as a whole. As part of the protection, there is a safety valve that is triggered at a water temperature above 90 ° C. It sends cold liquid to a special coil located inside the heat exchanger. Water circulates and cools the coolant heated to critical temperatures.
- The stove with water heating does not require a smooth ignition.
- The number of heating devices that are allowed to be connected to the system is greater than in an open system.
- The possibility of heating rooms of more than 100 m2while the open system is limited in area to this indicator.
Fireplace stove with a water heating circuit: consumer reviews
The most popular equipment of the following manufacturers:
- Finnish company - Harvia, Kastor and Helo.
- Italian - La-Nordica and EdilKamin.
- German - Schmid.
- Czech - ABX.
The quality and style of these products, of course, beyond competition, but the high cost makes the product is not for all affordable.
Therefore, it is also worthwhile to draw on domestic-made devices that are closest to the foreign level:
- "Volcano".
- "Ermak".
- "Termofor".
There are many reviews of this equipment, and allthey are different. You need to be guided by them, but it must be remembered that the human factor plays a big role - incorrect installation of the furnace will entail poor operation, and accordingly, the consumer will remain dissatisfied.
To date, numerous positive reviews have received the following models of equipment of this type:
- Печь-камин Edilkamin от итальянского The manufacturer is different functionality and beautiful design. This device can be used both for cooking and for the "warm floor" system. In addition, the stove is equipped with a spit, which allows you to cook directly on the coals.
- Fireplace stove from the German manufacturer Skyequipped with a large firebox that allows you to heat large volumes. Connection to radiators is possible. The side panels are made of tiles, which gives the equipment a Dutch oven look.
- Do not forget about domestic products, toFor example, the Meta stove is worth considering. Its main advantage is adaptation to harsh climatic conditions. The brick firebox levels the temperature drops and stores heat even after the damping of the coals.
