For heating a private house or cottage, various appliances are used. If gas is supplied to the object, then special furnaces can be used. They are functional, simple and practical. Gas stoves are classified in three areas: domestic, heating and heating. The choice of equipment depends on the place of the intended operation and the responsibilities that are assigned to it.
There are gas stoves for saunas and baths. This equipment is designed for heating. Such furnaces are divided according to the material from which they are made, the type of burner and the method of heating water.
Gas stoves used in a sauna or bath can be made of stone, brick or metal. Each species has its advantages and disadvantages. Stone or brick stoves heat up for a very long time, so they must be started to be heated in advance. But then they also cool down for a long time, which is an undoubted advantage. Such a stove will blend in well with the traditional interior of the sauna and bath. Outwardly, it resembles an ordinary wood counterpart.
Metal gas furnaces have thinner body walls. They do not need to load a large number of stones. They heat up quickly and cool off quickly. The undoubted advantage is the compact size. Therefore, this device can be installed in any room. Another plus is the relatively low cost. Brick or stone gas stoves are more expensive. Many craftsmen can make it with their own hands, but this requires certain skills and strict adherence to security measures.
Sometimes saunas and baths are equipped with combined gas appliances for heating. Gas and firewood are used here as fuel. But in this case, a lot of space is required.
Gas stoves for the home perform the function of heating. Outwardly, they resemble old wood-burning stoves. In some cases, even the burners hide behind imitation firewood.
Modern gas stoves are more functional than their ancestors. They have a gas pipeline in which a valve is installed that regulates the supply of fuel. These heating systems are equipped with devices showing the level of gas supply.
Advanced models have a pressure regulator. In such furnaces, a chimney is provided, which resembles a control valve that prevents the occurrence of strong traction. An important detail is a special water collector, which is designed to collect condensate.
The operation of such a furnace is simple and does not cause any particular problems. To ignite it, turn on the gas valve and light the burner. Some types of gas stoves are so compact that they can be easily moved around the house.
More expensive models are equipped with software that allows you to maintain the necessary temperature in the house even in the absence of the owners.
Gas stoves run on natural gas and propane, which is supplied in special cylinders.
Like any gas appliance, it requires utmost care during operation. Installation and adjustment of the furnace should be carried out by the master, he is engaged in its repair.
