Bath is a healthy and useful type of rest with relatives and friends. It is especially pleasant to visit the well-equipped steam room, where the water supply and heating system is properly set up. In our time there is a large selection of modifications of furnaces and heating tanks. The most important thing before buying - to decide on the necessary design.
Types of sauna furnaces
Regardless of the material of the furnace( metal or brick), when buying the product, attention should be paid to another important detail - to determine the modification of the tank. This element of the heater is necessary for hot water to be available constantly, because few people imagine a steam room without a shower. Furnaces for a bath with a water tank are represented by manufacturers in four types:
- Metal stoves for a bath with built-in tank.
- Heaters with hanging capacity.
- Products with an external reservoir.
- Heaters of samovar type.
Built-in tanks for heating water appeared first. These iron structures( often made of stainless steel) are compact, but not practical. The first inconvenience is that it should not be left empty, this could cause the boiler to overheat. Water boiling inside the tank is a source of wet steam, which is not suitable for a bath. As a result, you have to keep an eye on the liquid all the time - drain the hot liquid and top up the cold one. A stove for a bath with a built-in water tank is not the best choice.
The design of the heater and the hinged tank is popular due to the fact that the tank is located in the steam room and the water is heated by hot air. The principle of operation of the unit is similar to the built-in models. From one side of the stove body, where no brick is placed, the tank is hung, and the heating occurs naturally. The obvious plus of such a design is the ability to remove the capacity when there is no special need for it.
The oven for a bath with a water tank( remote) is very practical. Capacity can be placed anywhere - in another room( shower room) or on the street. A separate hanging tank is connected to the heat exchanger inside the stove, thereby heating the water. Leading manufacturers of bath heaters provide a wide range of such designs in stores. The principle of operation of the remote unit is simple - according to the laws of physics( if you place the tank above the stove), cool water will drain into the heat exchanger, and boiling water - go back to the tank.
If the bath room is used daily and repeatedly, then a tank for a stainless steel bath on a pipe is perfect. The design of the "samovar" type is placed directly above the stove on the chimney, which passes through the tank. Water heated by leaving hot gases, can reach temperatures up to 500 degrees, which will allow using warm water even after the heater cools.
How to choose a stove in a bath with a water tank
Buying a stove-heater, having already picked up a water tank in the bath, you should pay special attention to other parts:
- Power of the stove. This figure is calculated based on the volume of the steam room. Manufacturers calculate the ratio, equating 1 cubic meter to one kilowatt of power. For example, for a room measuring 10 m3, a sauna stove with a water tank with a capacity of 10 kW is needed.
- Type of thermal energy. By type of heating heaters are divided into wood, gas and combined. Choose a heater by these parameters is necessary, based on personal preferences. Combined models are popular in that they already have a gas burner installed, but if it is impossible to connect to communications, firewood is temporarily used.
