How to make a country house with stove heating

Heating

What to do if electricity and gas are not supplied to the site, and the temperature outside the window is getting lower and lower? You can use a solid fuel boiler for heating, but then you have to install radiators and lead pipelines to them, which is quite expensive. There is a second option - stove heating, when it is enough to build or install a stationary or mobile heating device in a house made of brick or metal.

Thus, old technologies can successfully compete with new ones.

A good example of how to make a stove heating a country house with your own hands

New - well forgotten old

Every year, manufacturers of heating boilers offer options that are better and better than the previous ones. However, conventional brick furnaces, invented many years ago, or modern metal ones are quite capable of producing the same amount of heat energy.

At the same time, there is no need to lead a separate pipeline to each room and install a radiator, and then worry about the fact that in your absence the coolant does not freeze and damage the system. In fact, a stove is a good alternative to a gas and solid fuel boiler.

Brick stoves for heating a country house

What to consider when choosing a furnace heating

Consider the advantages of the example of a brick structure:

  1. There are enough types of furnaces, among which you can choose simple in their structure and do not require large financial investments.. For example, do not install it in the oven and stove for cooking. You can fold the structure with your own hands relatively quickly, and you should definitely follow the ordering scheme.
  1. Often, the stove is made in conjunction with a fireplace, because of which the interior becomes more attractive, and the house will always be warm and dry.

  1. The living fire in the stove creates in the country house a unique atmosphere of comfort and coziness, which cannot be achieved with any other heating appliance.
  1. Solid fuel is an affordable material, and its price is not so expensive.

Among the shortcomings, experts point out the following:

  1. If you decide to install a real Russian stove in the house, you will need a lot of space for it.

Tip: the larger the size of the heater, the more it can give heat and will keep it longer.

  1. It takes a lot of time to warm up the device, i.e. he has great heat inertia.
  1. Chimney stove is considered the main cause of heat loss in a country house.
  1. The efficiency of a brick stove is about 25%, which is very low compared to other heating systems.

Tip: when building a device, take into account all heat losses and the total area of ​​the heated room.

Experts recommend for a room in 35m2 must be folded 1 m3 ovens. On average, about 550 kcal / h is required for normal heating of a warmed country cottage.

Mobile ovens

As we said at the beginning, not only brick stationary devices can be used in the house, but also mobile ones made of metal:

Zinger
  1. Simple design with a firebox designed to load wood logs up to 500 mm long.
  2. High efficiency of the device is its main advantage.
  3. The instruction recommends using a stove for heating 200 m2.
  4. One bookmark is enough for 6-7 hours of normal work.

Although it looks like a “stove” in appearance, however, the design today has stepped far forward. In addition, its performance is disproportionately higher at lower fuel costs.

Of the advantages should also be noted:

  1. Compact device that allows you to install it in any room where you can mount the chimney.
  2. The cost of equipment is significantly lower than a solid fuel boiler.

Do not use for heating a two-story house. Often they are a backup or temporary heater in combination with an electric, gas or oil-fired boiler with a water circuit.
Buleryan
  1. The design is a horizontal cylinder with its envelopes, through which cold air enters from below and hot air comes out from above.
  2. The combustion chamber is bunk and vertically divided.
  3. At the end there is a door covering the fire chamber, a smoke gate and an air supply regulator. Habitated ash in the design is not provided.
  4. The benefit of the device is not only in economic terms. A single load of dry hardwood is enough for the kiln to function normally for 12 hours. In this case, the air from the pipes will come out with a temperature of 110 ° C-120 ° C, and not just the firewood will smolder in it.
  5. Another fact is that Buleryan doesn’t have to be cleaned of ash every day, since there it practically doesn’t exist because of the upper, gas-generating combustion chamber.

High performance of the device is based on the gas generator principle of its operation. Fuel is not just burning, it is smoldering, decomposing into pyrolysis gas. After the supply of secondary air, it is completely burned in the upper chamber.

Often they put air ducts on the pipes, which evenly distribute heat over the area of ​​the house and even to the second floor.

When installing a heating furnace Buleryan, you should follow the fire safety rules, since you are dealing with open fire. You should also properly adjust the dampers and insulate the chimney.

Oven and water circuit

If the arrangement of the rooms in the house is such that it does not allow the walls to adjoin the furnace “coarse”, which is why they do not receive heat in winter, you can add a water circuit to the device. To do this, it is made of steel or purchased from cast iron heat exchanger, which is installed in the combustion chamber.

Two branches are withdrawn from it, which are connected to the mounted heating system with pipelines and radiators. The heat carrier, heating up in the heat exchanger, spreads heat energy to all elements of the heating circuit.

The heating system can be with natural and forced circulation. In addition, in addition to it, you can add hot water storage tank.

Conclusion

A properly selected and installed stove in the house can heat it to the required temperature. You can use stationary brick options or give preference to metal mobile. In the first case, it is possible to additionally install a water heating circuit in the room (see also the article Heating water heaters: the main types and mode of operation).
