The advantages of furnace heating
Choosing a heating system for your home you need to carefully study each of their existing options, choosing the best for yourself. So, what are the properties of a home oven:
- effectively heats the room;
- By adjusting the burning rate of wood / coal, you can change the temperature in the house;
- there are no problems with fuel, since wood waste is easy to procure;
- The installation of the furnace is not as costly as running an air / water heating system.
Well, the most important thing is that the artfully laid out brick oven becomes the center of the composition in the interior and sometimes serves as its only decoration.
However, along with the above advantages, the furnace has a number of disadvantages, namely:
- cumbersome (the amount of heat that it can accumulate depends on the size of the structure);
- inertia (it takes a long time to wait until the furnace starts to accumulate heat);
- low efficiency;
- there is a risk of fire, smoke entering the room, getting burns;
- impossibility of automation.
Types of brick stoves for home
At the moment the most popular models are:
- Traditional Russian oven . A compact multifunctional model that is ideal for a summer kitchen or country house. In addition to the heating function, the product functions as an oven in which it is possible to cook pastries. Many models have a cooking surface designed for heating food.
- Dutch . This model has a characteristic elongated shape, which allows it to more fully give heat to the body of the structure. The secret of high efficiency of the furnace is that the smoke path is artificially lengthened, so that less heat is lost through the chimney. Significant advantage of the Dutch is that for its laying requires a small number of bricks (650-700 pieces), while the Russian oven takes no less than 1400.
- Stove with a couch . This is an old model in the design which includes a special sun lounger on which you can not only bask, but also dry your shoes and clothes. The deckhouse is heated by a duct chimney through which heated smoke and soot exit to the street. This furnace is often installed in hunting and country houses.
- Brick stove-fireplace for the house . This is perhaps the most luxurious model of all of the above. Built-in fireplace allows you to watch the burning coals and makes the room unusually cozy and atmospheric. The only downside - for laying the furnace with a fireplace furnace, a large amount of material is required, accordingly the cost of the masonry increases.
