Zhara - excellent stoves for saunas, reviews from owners

Features and operating experience (from owner reviews)

The market for sauna stoves does not stand still.
It is constantly evolving, offering new and improved designs. Among the variety of models, it is sometimes difficult to decide: the manufacturer puts something special into each that distinguishes it from its analogues. Zhara sauna stoves, produced by the company of the same name from Togliatti, are quite popular today. Installation diagram of Zhara stoves

1. If the floor where the stove is installed is made of flammable materials, then protection should be installed with a metal sheet over a 10-mm layer of asbestos cardboard so that the edges of the metal protrude 250 mm around the perimeter. The distance from the floor to the bottom of the stove should be 100 mm; it is recommended to use a foundation laid in a quarter of a brick.
2. To protect the hot metal body from the intense heat, a protective screen made of brick or other fire-resistant material is installed around the stove. The brick screen is made in ½ or ¼ brick at a distance of 40–50 mm from the furnace body; in its lower part, air passages are arranged in increments of 250 mm. To lay a protective convection screen made of brick, it is better to use oven bricks, and prepare the mortar from sand and red clay.
3. The partition between adjacent rooms into which the heating unit is installed, in the immediate vicinity of the stove on the left, right and top must be made of fireproof materials of at least 500 mm. Read more in the article “How to install a metal stove for a bath.”
4. The chimney must be at least five meters high. Plan a straight option for its placement with a minimum number of knees.

Warning! The manufacturer categorically does not recommend making the connections between the stove and the chimney and the water tank non-separable. This is necessary to prevent fires and ease dismantling.

According to the information posted on the official website of the manufacturer, the advantages of Zhara stoves are:

• Long service life of units up to 20 years. This is achieved due to the cylindrical shape of the combustion chamber and the reinforced arch of the firebox. According to reviews from the owners, the Zhara stove has been used without any complaints for many years. Opinions often positively note the quality of welds, which affects the durability of the structure.
• The heat transfer of the stove is 2 times greater compared to analogues of other stainless steel sauna stoves. This was achieved through the use of durable carbon steel St20, which has the best thermal conductivity, in the manufacture of the firebox.
• The spiral chimney eliminates the direct flow of hot gases; their movement is directed along the heater like a snake. This increases the heating of the stones and ensures fuel savings. According to the manufacturer, the steam room can be heated to 100 °C in an hour or even less, provided that the room is properly insulated. Experience in operating Heat stoves shows that the steam room actually heats up quickly: in the summer in 30 minutes, and in the winter in 2–3 hours.
• The dismountable design of the damper assembly allows for convenient cleaning of the chimney.
• Various ways to attach a water tank - remote, on the back wall, on a pipe. The tanks are easy to install and detach, which allows you to take into account the characteristics of specific rooms. According to owner reviews, the design of the tank allows you to add water without disconnecting it from the stove. It is also noted that the water in the tank remains warm the next day.
• The combination of a simple and original design and high heat transfer provides the best combination of price and quality, which is invariably noted by the owners.

Air flow pattern

Along with the above advantages, the operating experience of Zhara stoves shows some shortcomings, namely:

• Fragile coloring. Additionally, when ordering a protective coating for the stove and pipe assembly, some customers were faced with the fact that the paint simply peeled off.
• Not the best appearance is also indicated in reviews, but some stove owners lined it with brick and the problem disappeared.
• There is no online payment service on the manufacturer’s website; you can purchase goods only by paying a bank account.

Of course, Zhara sauna stoves may not have an elegant appearance, but as operating experience and reviews show, the products of this brand are of excellent quality. There are some disadvantages, but they are not critical and are easily covered by the low price.

Advantages and disadvantages of Zhara stoves

We can talk about the benefits of Zhara sauna stoves for a very long time. In order not to bore you with lengthy stories, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the key advantages of the units in question. For greater ease of perception, the information is presented in table form.

Table. Advantages of Zhara sauna stoves

Heat stove diagram

Along with numerous advantages, Zhara sauna stoves have a number of disadvantages and shortcomings.

Firstly, the color is fragile. According to user reviews, over time the base enamel coating will simply peel off. To solve the problem, you have to order additional protective coating.

Secondly, not the most attractive appearance. The disadvantage, although subjective, is mentioned quite often. To solve this problem, many owners line the stove with bricks.

Thus, even despite the few and in fact not the most significant drawbacks, Zhara stoves can safely be considered an excellent option for installation in a bathhouse. The existing shortcomings are not critical and are fully compensated by high quality, affordable cost and long service life.

What are the advantages of the “Heat” sauna stove?

The Zhara company offers sauna stoves of two categories, differing in the type of fuel:

• gas - Malyutkagaz, Standardgaz and Supergaz;
• wood-burning - Zhara-Extra, Zhara-Malyutka, Zhara-Standard, Zhara-Super.

Come here for health

The Russian bathhouse is an integral part of the culture of our people. People always went there to wash and relax. Village baths are considered the best. They acquired such fame due to the fact that the stoves in them are real, handmade, tested, of good quality, and the secrets of their construction are passed on from generation to generation.

In urban conditions, achieving the desired pairing effect has been difficult for a long time. And all because metal stoves for mass-produced baths did not at all meet the needs of real lovers and connoisseurs of steaming, and rustic samples were too bulky.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the best way to insulate walls in a bathhouse.

Gas stoves for saunas Heat

These units are produced for heating rooms of different sizes, can be made with different wall thicknesses of the combustion chamber, differ in weight, type of GGU (gas burner device) and cost. Appearance and drawing of the stove in the photo.

Sauna stove "Heat" running on gas

MalyutkaGaz is the smallest representative of this series of sauna stoves. It is designed for heating steam rooms from 4 to 12 m3 and is equipped with an automatic SABK-9 gas generator with a power of 15 kW. Its weight is small - 52 kg, dimensions WxDxH 400x725x575 mm, firebox wall thickness 5 mm. An open heater that can accommodate 100 kg of stones.

Design of the gas sauna stove “Zhara”

The StandardGas and SuperGas models are designed for heating steam rooms from 10 to 24 m3 and are equipped with a more powerful 30 kW SABK-10 gas turbine unit. The mass of the units is 92 and 124 kg, respectively. Their technical characteristics are presented in the table.

Attention. The combustion process of all Zhara gas heating units is carried out only from the adjacent room (from the dressing room or washing room).

Gas stoves are additionally equipped with a chimney and water tanks with a volume of 50, 73 and 90 liters. It is very important to choose the right volume of the water tank, since its small capacity will not provide all visitors with hot water, and a tank that is too large will take a long time to heat up. There are reviews from customers who have encountered this problem.

first you need a small amount to steam the broom, later - to wash yourself before entering the steam room, then some more to rinse after entering the steam room. Based on the maximum consumption at a time, you need to choose the volume of the tank, and not calculate the total amount of water that may be needed for the entire bath procedure.

When choosing a Heat stove for a bath, you should take into account the internal area of ​​the room. The manufacturing plant produces various modifications of designs that allow you to heat baths ranging in size from 4 to 40 m3. All products are divided into two large groups - gas and wood. The range of wood stoves is represented by the following designs:

• Budget models Extra. They have thin walls and are light weight, so they can be installed without building a foundation. Excellent for heating rooms up to 8 m3.
• Thrifty Baby. Given its popularity among users, manufacturers produce several modifications of this model - 750T, 700, 600T. The products differ among themselves in the depth of the combustion chamber and weight. In these models, the thickness of each wall is 8 mm. The Malyutki 500 E and 600 E are more powerful and of higher quality in terms of heat transfer. You can heat baths with stoves of this series, the internal area of ​​which is 14 m3.
• Standard. Also in demand among owners of country houses and summer cottages. In order to place them indoors, it is necessary to build a foundation. This will help to properly heat the bathhouse and place a structure weighing 120 kg on a supporting base. Steam rooms up to 20 m3 can be heated.
• Exclusive. Such models are installed in bath complexes. The stoves have a wall thickness of 12 mm, which helps to heat a room up to 36 m3 in size. It is also necessary to make reinforcing foundations for these models.

Wood stoves operate on solid fuel and have different combustion chamber depths. The letters U or E indicate wall thickness. U is a reinforced firebox, and E is a firebox with thinner walls. Stoves of this modification are heated from the street, where the combustion mechanism (box) is installed, or from the dressing room.

Gas ovens

• BabyGas. The most compact design from manufacturers, which can heat a steam room with an area of ​​up to 12 m2. Heating is carried out through an open stove, where stones must be placed. They are heated using a gas burner system.
• Standard Gas and SuperGas. Suitable for heating baths up to 24 m3.

Gas sauna stoves “Zhara” are supplied complete with a water tank and a chimney. Heating is provided from the dressing room or washing room.

Wood stoves

Sauna units operating on solid fuel differ in the following indicators:

• the depth of the firebox chamber is from 400 to 750 mm, based on its size, the length of the firewood is determined;
• firebox thickness - models with a reinforced arch are designated “U”, with a thinner “E”;
• type of organization of the combustion process - stoves heated from the dressing room or from the street are equipped with a combustion chamber with a depth of 200, 250 or 350 mm.

How to choose

You should choose a wood-burning stove based on the preferred option for organizing the combustion process:

• if you will heat it from a steam room, then it is better to give preference to a model with an enlarged heater without an external combustion tunnel;
• in the case of laying firewood from an adjacent room - stoves with a protrusion-tunnel, determining its size by the type of bricklaying - 125, 200 and 250 mm (for laying ½ brick, “in a block” or “in a brick”).

Diagram of the “Heat” stove with an external firebox

• To heat a bathhouse from the street, you need to choose units with a combustion chamber.
  Diagram of the “Heat” stove with an extended combustion chamber for loading fuel from the street

  Table 3: Technical characteristics of Zhara stoves equipped with a combustion chamber for heating from the street or dressing room

  When choosing, it is also important to take into account that the thicker the wall of the combustion chamber, the longer the service life of the stove and the longer the factory warranty period. For example, for bath stoves with a combustion chamber wall thickness of 4–6 mm, the factory warranty period is 1 year, 8 mm — 3 years, 10–12 mm — 5 years.

How to choose correctly

You should choose stoves taking into account the installation location of the heater. For example, if a wood-burning stove will be located in a steam room, then the heater should have increased dimensions, and there should be no combustion tunnel. If there is not enough space inside the room, then you can choose stoves with a protrusion, which is created during the construction of the foundation. This will allow you to heat the steam room from the street. To lay fuel or stones, you must choose models that have a special combustion chamber.

It is important to take into account the thickness of the walls of the combustion chamber when purchasing. The thicker the material, the longer the Heat will serve its owner.

Additional equipment

Wood-burning sauna stoves Zhara are additionally equipped with water tanks with a volume of 20 to 100 liters with various installation options:

mounted on the back or side wall of the oven.

However, it should be noted that Zhara sauna stoves, reviews of which are left by people who bought them , also have some disadvantages. One of these reviews was left by a person who ordered this product online, and this is what he writes:

“Purchasing the Heat-Malyutka 600 stove for me personally had both a number of pros and cons. I will briefly break down this information into sections:

1. Payment for the purchase is made only through Sberbank of Russia, where they deducted 500 rubles and kopecks from me for the transfer. After transferring the money after 3 days, no one told me anything. Naturally I started to worry.
2. The delivery of the goods took place against the backdrop of complete confusion, due to which there was confusion with the payment of transport costs. When unpacking the received container, I did not find a gate unit. True, they sent it a week after I called them.
3. The custom order I made to apply heat-resistant paint did not pay off - everything was peeling off. The same story happened with the water tank, which has a volume of 45 liters. The water in it heats up incomparably longer than the heating of the stove.

But, despite all the problems that arose, I would still like to say about the stove itself, which in the process of use evened the scales of my indignation in a positive direction. Firstly, the bathhouse warms up in about half an hour. Secondly, one armful of firewood is more than enough. Thirdly, it takes up little space.

Review of “Heat” stoves for baths

The choice of stove for a bath depends on the volume of the steam room and the financial capabilities of the owner. These issues are successfully addressed by the Zhara range of stoves. Their main advantages are undoubtedly:

• acceptable price;
• simplicity and reliability of design;
• durability. With proper use, the service life is 20 – 25 years.
• Keeps warm for a long time, the water in the tank remains warm for 10 - 12 hours.

There are some disadvantages as a consequence of the simplicity of the design:

• unattractive appearance;
• very strong infrared radiation.

Both of them are easy to fix, because "Heat" can be used as the basis for any modern stove. It is enough to shield it, cover it with bricks and decorate it - as a result, you can get a rather interesting result. You just need to leave a hole for air circulation to avoid disruption of heat transfer.

New models of the Zhara stove are more improved and manufactured taking into account existing shortcomings. They are equipped with a heater. which allows you to retain heat longer and makes the bathing process more enjoyable.

What Zhara can offer bathhouse owners: range of products

The manufacturing company offers bathhouse owners a wide range of products, which can be classified into 2 main categories. You can find information about them in the following table.

Table. Classification of sauna stoves Heat

Such a characteristic as the peculiarities of organizing the combustion process in the Zhara solid fuel sauna stove deserves special consideration.

Firstly, the stove can be heated directly from the steam room. In this case, it is recommended to give preference to a unit that does not have an external combustion tunnel and is equipped with an oversized heater.

Secondly, firewood can be placed into the firebox from the room adjacent to the steam room. If this option is more convenient for you, buy a model with a protrusion-tunnel. The design of such a furnace is shown in the following image.

Model with projection-tunnel

Thirdly, the Zhara wood stove can be heated from the street. If this option for organizing the combustion process seems to you the most acceptable and preferable, buy a stove with a combustion box.

Design of the “Heat” stove for a bath

The design of the “Heat” sauna stove is simply ingenious. The idea was based on an ordinary stove - a “potbelly stove”. It consists of the following main parts.

For the manufacture of sauna fireboxes, very high-quality thick-walled pipes up to 10 mm thick are used. Similar ones are used for laying oil pipelines. Their shape may differ depending on where the fuel loading process will take place. The firebox must be connected to the chimney.

It can be purchased complete with the stove or made independently. The chimney design is a coil. A chimney of this shape evens out the draft, saves fuel, and makes it safer, since there are no sudden emissions of flue gas. The convenience of the finished chimney is that it consists of several detachable elements. which can be cleaned of soot as needed.

For a villager familiar with the structure of a conventional stove, such a name as grate is not new. This is a heavy, removable grate on which firewood or coal is placed. After long-term use, it can be replaced with a new one.

An obligatory attribute of a bathhouse is a water tank. They differ in the quality of the metal used, namely its thickness. On the Zhara body there is a place for installing a tank. The large lid on the tank allows you to fill it with water using a container or hose.
