Dacha plots in most cases are small, therefore, and cottages can not be large. But even in a small house it is necessary to organize a heating system. A traditional brick oven takes up a lot of space, and it's not economical to call it. It is for small premises (dachas, garages, utility rooms) that a device such as a stove is suitable. Comparison cast iron stoves with electric, gas, gasoline or catalytic in terms of efficiency does not make sense, but you will surely get a home cosiness, warmth and barely perceptible woody fragrance. The modern economical burner on firewood differs from its predecessors with a more perfect design, and the efficiency in comparison with historical models has grown from 15 to 80%.
The advantages of bourgeois are:
- cheapness;
- durability;
- simplicity of operation;
- mobility;
- possibility of modernization.
Furnace arrangement
Furnaces of burzhujki which are the optimum decision for a summer residence or garage, in the basis have the bunker from metal which is equipped by a chimney (branch pipe) and a door for firewood putting. This door can be located either on the side or in front of the oven, and in some models and from above. Such burzhujki is the most simple.
There are also models of turbojets with two combustion chambers separated by a horizontal partition. Under them is a gasification chamber, and on top is a tank for afterburning the gas formed when fuel is burned. In these furnaces the chimney is located above the door, which allows to increase the efficiency by extracting heat from the smoke passing through the chamber. And for heating and cooking, you can use a horizontal heating surface.
Criterias of choice
The main characteristics, which should be paid attention before choosing a bucket, is its economy and heat capacity. The first criterion is determined by the amount of energy generated during combustion. It is he who determines the value of efficiency. The specific heat determines the time during which the turbine will still give off heat upon cooling. If it becomes cold in just three hours, the heat capacity of the furnace is very low. It can be raised with the help of brick. Take into account, between the bricks it is necessary to leave gaps to ensure convection.
Today, various types of burzhuyki ovens are produced:
- Furnaces with a cooking surface, which is very convenient for giving;
- models with chambers for peat briquettes or pellets;
- gas-generator furnaces;
- burzhuyki with a fan;
- furnaces-heaters;
- Oil burners (waste oil is used as fuel);
- long-burning stoves (the effect is achieved due to a sinuous long flue).
As you can see, the choice is huge. To properly choose the right model, you need to estimate the area of the room that you plan to heat, the time during which you will need heat, and
If the premise is small, then using a stove with high efficiency and heat capacity will cause the air to be too dry, scorched. Conversely, a low-power furnace can not provide heat, and fuel will have to be thrown more often.
As for fuel, the most environmentally friendly option is firewood. However, this type of fuel is more suitable for short-term heating. If you plan to use the oven for a day or more, it is better to use peat or sawdust briquettes. The cheapest option is used oil, but it is problematic to find it.
Also in the cold season, a heated wash-basin and a gas stove can be used in the villa.
