At all times, baths were in great demand among the population. An important device of such a room is a bath oven with a water tank. Today, various heating facilities of this type are installed in steam rooms: electric, wood, gas. However, experts give their preference to wood stoves.
Highlights of building a bath stove with a water tank
It should be noted that modern bath furnaces are presented in the form of stainless steel structures. In this case, you should take care in advance that the repair of this unit will soon be. If the stove is mounted on wood, a place should be provided for storing firewood.
Another important aspect for a bath furnace with a water tank is the calculation of its power. This indicator is calculated taking into account some factors: the furnace mode, efficiency, the design of the furnace itself. In any case, the main parameters are the type of wood used as heating material, as well as the area of the bath.
Wood stoves for a bath with a water tank
Even in ancient times, in Russia they built baths with wood stoves. These units are also called heaters. This name is due to the fact that in those old days baths were drowned in black. Then the center for heating the steam room was formed due to the arch of boulders. To generate steam, hot water was poured over hot stones.
Modern baths have retained all the most important features of the Russian ancient baths, namely:
- The presence of a heater.
- The presence of a steam room.
- The use of a broom.
Bath stoves with a water tank are also an important feature of the steam room. If earlier a fireplace of boulders was used as a furnace, today it is customary to build them from brick or install a metal unit of a similar action. In the latter case, it is better to install stainless steel furnaces.
These furnaces are heated in various ways:
- With the help of firewood.
- With the help of electricity.
The most advanced option is to heat the bath furnace with a water tank by applying electric current. In this case, you do not need to harvest firewood in advance. It will not be necessary to monitor the cleanliness around the heating unit.
But, despite this, many give their preference to wood-burning stoves. This is due to the fact that such heating systems create special comfort and coziness inside the bath.
Wood stove design
As you know, wood-burning stoves for a bath with a water tank have a rather simple and at the same time reliable design:
- below is a firebox with a blower;
- next is a compartment filled with specially selected nappies of the desired breed, which are resistant to cracks;
- at the top there is a water heating tank and a samovar tap;
- from the bottom goes the chimney.
If we talk about modern furnaces, then these units are equipped with:
- firebox made of chrome heat-resistant steel;
- high-speed built-in steam generator;
- 33 liter built-in water tank;
- shortened fuel channel;
- combined type convector hood;
- built-in register - heat exchanger;
- convector cover made of mirror stainless steel.
In such they are stoves for a bath with a water tank.
