How to properly install a fire-battery stove in the country

Description of the oven

The Fire Battery stove is designed for air heating of room space. Just like its predecessors, it is based on the principle of convection. Convective pipes are built into the structure. They are located inside the oven and do not stand out from the general background. The room heating time is up to 15 minutes. The total operating time of the equipment, when fully loaded, ranges from 8 to 16 hours. This hourly run-up depends on the specified settings.

Each modification ends with a numerical value. Side convectors, similar in appearance to a radiator, have fins. The number in the name indicates their number. There are burners on top, the number of which can vary from one to two. You can both heat and cook food on them. If the model is basic, then the kit includes self-cleaning glass.

Modifications equipped with the index “B” include a heat exchanger. Its power is limited, designed for heating the area.

To meet the needs for hot water, a remote tank is located nearby, in which the water is heated. The system is designed so that boiling does not occur in the container. By connecting 2 radiators to the air-heating stove of the “B” series, you can heat the dressing room or washing room. Such devices are not designed to fully heat up the bath. The Light series is available as an economy option. It is distinguished by the absence of burners and glass inserts. As a result, a reduced price.

Dream Interpretation - Oven, bake, bakery

Any stove (from an old Russian stove to a microwave) symbolizes the state of your home, household, family relationships. Turning on the stove or heating the stove - getting everything you need for the house. For an unmarried woman - marrying a divorcee or widower. Seeing a red-hot stove for a married woman - rejoice in love and family happiness, enjoy the respect of loved ones. Getting burned on the stove means suffering from the machinations of your opponents in business. A cooling or cold stove means deterioration in relationships with others. If the stove (stove) is broken, anxiety is expected because of the children. A collapsed stove means death of one of the relatives. Build or build a new oven - to marriage. If a woman dreams that she is baking something, then in reality she will be disappointed. Baking black bread - to sadness. To see someone baking rolls - to a profitable deal. If you dreamed of a bakery, in reality there will be a reason to be careful at work: your career is in danger! For a young woman, a dream about a bakery is a threat to her reputation. For a man, it means a quarrel with his beloved. To see yourself as the owner of a bakery in a dream means to experience anger in life superiors

Operating modes

The main operating mode of the furnace is smoldering. However, it can burn like a potbelly stove. This need arises during ignition, when the device is starting up. Fire The battery should warm up well. To do this, until the draft stabilizes, all doors are opened, including the blower. As soon as the oven reaches its operating parameters, all doors are closed. The gate is moved to the closed position. The equipment is in smoldering mode.

This ensures rapid heating of the room, and then maintains the heating. This is very convenient for heating a country house.

About water bullers

Buleryan can also carry out heating and water heating at the same time. Boilers equipped with a water circuit are used in homes and factories. Buleryan - a stove with combined functions in design and design is similar to the conventional modification, which uses air convection for full heating.

Example of water buleryan

There are pipes around the combustion chamber.
The basic principle of operation is chemical processes: pyrolysis or gas generation.
The pipes are filled not with hot air, but with heated coolant liquid.

The Buleryan system furnace with a water circuit operates as follows:

Pipes (convection) in the lower part have a collector (lower and upper).
An outlet is specially mounted on the lower of the collectors, which is necessary to return the liquid to the system.
The upper element has a pipe that is required to supply coolant liquid to the system.
The water or other liquid heat carrier used in the system gradually heats up. This happens during the process of firing the furnace.
The desired pressure is created (selected by setting).
Liquid circulation occurs under the influence of physicochemical factors and its rise to a height of 7-8 meters.
The coolant fluid moves through pipes and is supplied to heating devices (batteries, convectors), which are located in rooms (living rooms, production workshops or greenhouses).

The cooled liquid heat source is returned back to the system using an outlet on the lower collector.

In this case, the gas formed during the combustion of solid fuel takes part in the heating process. For this purpose, the design of the furnace provides two, rather than one, combustion chambers - in one, the main fuel is burned (firewood, pressed sawdust or coal briquettes), in the second, the process of afterburning of gases occurs.

Water buller connection diagram

After heating the firewood combustion compartment, it is recommended to switch the boiler to gas generation mode. In this phase of operation, the fuel does not burn, but smolders. This allows you to increase the heat transfer time, but the system will function autonomously. Feature - the efficiency remains the same as when burning wood or other solid fuel. A Buleryan home stove with a water heating system allows you to obtain hot water for domestic needs if the pipes are connected to a special container. Water heats up to 100 degrees in 30-40 minutes, depending on the model chosen for use, which requires about 2.5 kW of energy.

Types of furnaces

Depending on the power, furnaces are divided into 4 types:

The stoves have different levels of configuration, are divided into a standard version and an economy version, which is called Light and has differences:

Fire Battery 5

Oven Fire Battery 5 has the following technical characteristics.

Group 02 – 85 cm, width – 85 cm, depth – 99 cm.
Group 03 – height 90 cm, width – 62 cm, depth – 112 cm.

Buleryan type 01 (Vancouver)

The choice of group depends on the individual characteristics of the structure where the device is supposed to operate. There are also two groups that are recommended to be installed in production areas:

Group 04 – height 96 cm, width – 71 cm, depth – 134 cm.
Group 05 – height – 96 cm, width 75 cm, depth – 150 cm.

Example of Buleryan from group 04 (Toronto)

Power also needs to be taken into account. Depending on the model, they produce 6-45 kW. The volume of the room that can be heated using the unit (m3) is 100-1300. Number of pipes – 7-16. The smallest Buleryan is capable of heating a small cottage (up to 100 m3) or a greenhouse.

Purpose and basic requirements

Fire-Battery is an air-heating stove. That is, it warms the air in the room. Moreover, it does it quickly and efficiently, and burns for a long time. Manufacturers claim that a full load of dry firewood, depending on the model and the settings specified, burns for 8-16 hours. In reality - according to user reports - on dry wood, but with an incomplete stack - 6-9 hours. Large numbers were not found in the reviews.

“I arrived at the dacha, there was no frost yet - around 0°C, but the house was cold. I threw in less than a quarter of the firebox, it burned for 20-30 minutes in potbelly stove mode (I didn’t measure it exactly, but it felt like that). During this time, the temperature rose by 10-15 degrees. I was very pleased with the heating speed. Then he closed the valves, the combustion died down, and tongues of bluish flame appeared from time to time. Everything burned down into dust, and there was very little of it.”

“I have Fire-battery 7. I’ve already fired it 5-6 times. At night I add ¾ of the volume of firewood, and it burns until the morning. In all this time I cleaned it only once, and it was as thick as ash. My wife was even upset; she decided to fertilize the garden with ash.”

Important operating requirement: use only firewood. This is a purely wood burning stove.

To reduce the amount of condensation and soot they must be dry. For greater convenience, then, after ignition, you can pour pellets from above, through the burner.

The main mode is smoldering. When lighting the stove and warming up the chimney, intense combustion with an active air supply is required (all valves are open). After the draft stabilizes, the valves/gates close and the furnace goes into smoldering mode. This mode accounts for up to 70-85% of the burning time of the bookmark. Specific figures depend on the heat capacity of the firewood, the degree of its dryness and the “starting” temperature.

If you need a heating stove for a temporary residence, Ogon-Battery is a good choice. She will get the job done quickly. All users noted that with this stove they took off their jackets much earlier than with all the previous ones. And in the “previous ones” there were brick and other metal ones, including Professor Butakov of the same Termofor.

For heating permanent homes, metal stoves are not recommended at all, and this one too. Although it is effective and heats “softer”, it is still better to have a hot water boiler for a permanent home. Moreover, this opinion is expressed by the developers themselves. But, as they say, the master is the master.

In the active combustion phase, the flame is yellowish-red

Probably, to emphasize the “country” purpose of the stove, it has a burner. This is great for a dacha or garage: while the firewood is burning, you can boil the kettle and cook/heat food. Then, when it goes into smoldering mode, it becomes almost useless, except to maintain the temperature in the kettle.

What is the battery used for? Requirements

Having numerous reviews, “Fire-battery 7” is an air heating device that performs the function of heating and heat exchange in a room in an accelerated mode and for a long period of time. So, with a full load of firewood in the stove, its burning time is up to 16 hours, and with a partial load – up to 9 hours.

To ensure that the oven operates for the stated period of time, the following requirements must be strictly adhered to:

Use of dry firewood. This is one of the key conditions on the part of the manufacturer. The use of just such fuel leads to a maximum reduction in the number of wet drops on the walls and soot build-up. However, pellets can also be used when lighting.
Bringing to decay during the waking period. When igniting the stove, all dampers must be kept open. This is necessary for a strong supply of fire using oxygen. In the process of equalizing the draft, the dampers gradually close, and the fire gradually goes into smoldering mode. This process must occur while owners are awake to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Smoldering should take most of the time, with a significant amount of wood burning through.
Choosing a room to install the stove. The latest generation heating device is absolutely not suitable for premises with permanent residence. However, as reviews indicate, fire battery 7 fits perfectly into temporary conditions. It warms up the home faster than other types of products.
Using a burner. When purchasing a stove, you should know about one more feature. The heating device has a burner. Its operation is carried out only during the heating period: you can boil a kettle or cook food. When smoldering, its presence becomes useless: the burner can only keep the water heated. In addition, you should also be aware of such a nuance as the absence of a cooking circle in the “Fire-battery 7 light” variety: it is not provided there.
Presence of smoke. The stove does not produce smoke when in good condition. If present, it is recommended to check the cleanliness of the chimney and the correct installation of the heating device.

Features of stoves Fire Battery

Heat generators of this brand belong to the new generation of heating installations, which are developed exclusively using computer technology and taking into account all the shortcomings of popular stoves and fireplaces. A fundamentally new design of fire battery installations was obtained as a result of careful calculations and optimization of the geometry of the fuel chamber, slot convectors, and the aerodynamics of the movement of combustion products and air.

Advantages of heat generators of this brand:

The heat exchanger is used to heat water used for domestic needs. Slot convectors serve as protection against hard infrared radiation and transform three-quarters of the useful heat into convection currents. A vertically oriented door of significant size allows you to load the fuel chamber to the top with firewood, which ensures long-term continuous combustion. The combustion intensity is controlled precisely and steplessly.

Attention! Additional convenience is provided by the universal chimney outlet. Thanks to it, the pipe can be routed both upward and backward.

Unit features

Before purchasing a stove, you need to study its differences from other heating equipment.

Design

The external design is laconic, which is suitable for the design of any room. The all-welded metal body is coated with dark gray powder paint that is temperature resistant. The flap is elongated vertically for easy fuel storage. At the bottom of the combustion chamber there is a metal sheet that prevents burnout. For additional tightness, the contour of the door and ash pan is decorated with a heat-resistant cord.

Heat flow

Due to the protrusions of the fins, soft thermal radiation is obtained, rather than hot heat. Compared to modifications without shielding, the entire room is heated, and not just the stove area. Infrared and thermal radiation are in equal proportions, so the air near the stove does not burn the skin. Welded slot convectors on the body promote uniform distribution of heated air masses through longitudinal slits.

Firebox volume

The firebox is the same for the entire Teplofor product line - 35 liters. The opening dimensions are 15x30 cm, which is enough for firewood from 30 to 35 cm in length.

Burning intensity control

Due to the tightness of the ash pan and the flap, air leakage practically does not occur. To regulate the combustion intensity, a gate under the door and an ash pan are used. The combustion rate can be reduced by closing the flue pipe damper. The draft decreases and the combustion intensity decreases.

In the closed position of the slide damper, a gap of 25% of the chimney diameter remains, this is enough for high-quality removal of carbon monoxide.

Chimney outlet

Models with side and top chimney outlets
Ogon-Battery is characterized by two types of chimney direction - upper and lower. The user should pay attention to the following points:

The pipe is brought up. Condensation and soot particles get inside the firebox. When they burn, a plug is formed, which can only be removed after disassembling and cleaning the chimney.
The pipe is brought down. Lifting to the top is carried out using a tee with a container for collecting condensate at the bottom. Preventative cleaning is performed through the outlet.

To normalize draft, the cross-section of the chimney pipe should be equal to the outlet or slightly increased.

Fuel chamber protection

The stove is in use for an average of 5-7 years. At the end of this period, the firebox may burn out. Replaceable protective plates extend the life of the unit. Owners will need to bend the fasteners with a screwdriver, install a new metal sheet and bend the elements back.

Installation of stove fire battery features

By and large, in terms of installation, a fire battery is not much different from other stoves - the requirements are almost the same, but there are also some differences related to the operating features of the heater.

Chimney. The battery fire is universal, and you can turn it in almost any direction. No matter how you twist it and no matter which direction you direct it, the efficiency of the stove will not be affected.

Long burning stoves fire-battery photo

In all other respects, the requirements for installing a unit of this type are exactly the same as for other long-burning furnaces.

Advantages and disadvantages

If the firebox burns out, unusable parts can be replaced.
Heating devices “Teplofor” of the Fire-Battery series have many advantages:

neat execution of the body - welds are not visible;
the uniqueness of the heat flow - a person feels warmth, not heat;
Can be installed in any room;
the presence of a screening effect - IR heat flows;
efficiency indicator in intensive mode is 76%, with long-term burning – 87%;
special design of the firebox - at the bottom there is a container for collecting ash;
combustion rate adjustment – two types of dampers are used (for oxygen supply and smoke exhaust);
quick replacement of a faulty combustion chamber;
the presence of cast iron grates for complete combustion of firewood.

The disadvantages of furnace equipment include:

formation of soot on the glass sash when laying wet firewood;
access of smoke to the room if the chimney height is not maintained at 5 m;
accumulation of ash and condensate on the walls of the chimney without thermal protection;
the need for water in models with a heat exchanger.

The fire-resistant glass of the door has a self-cleaning function when exposed to fire.

Design

It differs from others in its unusual shape and stylish design, allowing it to fit into any interior. It is equipped with a cast iron burner with two rings of different diameters, which makes it possible to cook food over an open fire in dishes of various sizes and clean the surface of the device from soot. There is a choice of combustion mode, thereby regulating the intensity of the stove. Wood is loaded both through the burner openings and through the wide side doors.

Among other advantages, it is worth noting the absence of harsh infrared radiation. Judging by the reviews of the furnaces of the Termofor Fire-Battery company, slot convectors convert about 77% of the heat into a soft convection flow. The heat exchanger is made of stainless steel and allows you to heat water for various domestic needs. The design of the chimney allows it to be discharged backwards and upwards. The oven damper position lock holds it firmly in the selected position.

The geometry of the firebox eliminates the possibility of accumulation of unburnt coals, which is confirmed by numerous customer reviews. During the operation of the furnace, they fall off under the influence of gravity down onto the grate. The firebox is equipped with replaceable burnout protection. The ash pan has a lock, which prevents spontaneous air intake from the room, but cleaning it from ash is very simple. Due to the fact that the stove is assembled by a robot, it has high quality welding. In addition, all welds are located inside.

“I bought a garage stove, Termofor Light 5B Fire-Battery series, based on reviews on the Internet. At first I regretted that I had skimped on the option with glass in the door, but then I got used to it. I especially appreciated the connection to the water circuit of a battery with a compression tank filled with antifreeze - after all, it’s good that I took a stove with a heat exchanger! Now the garage is warm all year round.”

Oleg Vasiliev, Kazan.

“I’ve been looking at the Fire-Battery stoves for a long time and finally decided to install a similar one at my dacha. The first thing I would like to note is its efficiency. One stack of firewood is enough for at least one night. The previous brick kiln used 2–4 times more of them! And in this one the warming up speed is higher. It takes up little space and fits perfectly into the living room interior. I am extremely pleased." “We were attracted by reviews from friends about these stoves, which is why I bought one for myself. But in my model, Fire-Battery 5, the firebox is very short - only 30 cm, although it is quite high. Because of this, we constantly have to add firewood. I’m disappointed - you can’t even retreat for a long time, otherwise you’ll have to flood again.” “A year ago, my parents bought a wood-burning stove, Fire-Battery 9, to heat a house in the village with an area of 220 m3. We finally decided to dismantle the old brick one and install something more compact. They are still happy - there is more space in the room and it copes with the functions of the previous stove perfectly, as follows from the reviews of its other owners.”

What is long burning in heating stoves?

As is known, the intensity of the fuel combustion process depends on the amount of oxygen supplied. If there is enough fuel, the fuel burns intensely, releasing a large amount of heat, but the fuel burns quickly. With limited air supply, combustion can enter the smoldering stage, in which even flames are not always observed.

A solid fuel stove with a sealed door can be switched to smoldering mode

In principle, any furnace can be switched to a long-burning mode by manipulating the valves. Another thing is that not all of them are designed for this mode. Conventional stoves with closed valves can even be dangerous - in smoldering mode they can become a source of smoke or carbon monoxide. So it’s better to look for a fireplace stove for a summer house whose characteristics include the line “long burning” and the maximum burning time for one bookmark. This could be 6-18 hours.

How to determine whether a stove supports long burning or not

One of the characteristics by which you can distinguish a long-burning fireplace stove for a summer residence from a conventional heating stove is its sealed design. After all, you need to make sure that air flows in the right quantity. No more and no less. The second sign is the presence of several adjustable dampers.

Dampers and dampers must be airtight (the photo shows the ash pan door of the Nordika stove)

The tightness can only be checked during combustion, but the presence of dampers can be monitored visually and how tightly they block the access of air, you can also see how well they move. In some models, the air supply is adjusted through the ash drawer. In this case, you need to look at how well it “moves” and how tightly it blocks the air supply. Although the ash box cannot be airtight, it should not leave large holes either. You can also track the presence of a seal on the door, a gate on the pipe. All these are criteria by which you can determine whether a given fireplace stove supports long-term combustion.

With afterburning of gases

How else do long-burning stoves differ from conventional ones? The fact that they can be used to burn gases that are formed during the combustion of wood. In conventional furnaces, these gases escape into the chimney, since their ignition requires a special regime - high temperature and limited access of air. In long-burning furnaces, the fuel chamber can be divided into several parts. In one firewood burns, in the rest there are gases that were formed during the decomposition of fuel. Such furnaces are also called gas generators, since it is in the smoldering mode that the largest amount of gases is formed. What is characteristic is that most of them have a calorific value higher than that of the fuel during the decomposition of which they were formed. So when using conventional ovens, a significant portion of the heat is lost. That is why it is believed that a long-burning fireplace stove is more profitable for a summer house or home, since it requires less fuel.

The technical specifications should contain a line stating that this model supports a long-burning mode. There should also be a maximum time on one tab in long-burning mode

The downside is that a long-burning fireplace for a summer house or home costs a lot of money. The price tag for models that support long-term combustion starts from $400-450, if it is a Russian manufacturer and the body is made of structural steel. Domestic stainless steel costs twice as much, and cast iron costs twice as much. Imported fireplace stoves with a long-burning function, with the same characteristics, are approximately 70-100% more expensive.

The difference between a classic open fireplace and a fireplace stove

A classic open-type fireplace is only an additional source of heat that cannot heat a room in cold weather. It gives heat in small quantities, it spreads only during the combustion of the fuel, and immediately before the firebox. This type of heating device is good for a damp summer or autumn/spring day. In winter, it is not able to provide enough heat for the entire room, since its operation requires good draft, which “pulls out” most of the heat.

One of the simplest models: a long-burning fireplace stove for a summer house and home “Bavaria”. Manufacturer – EKOKAMIN (Russia)

The fireplace stove has different characteristics, a closed firebox. Such a unit can heat the room independently (with correctly selected power). And a long-burning fireplace stove for the country house and home also does this economically, as it uses fuel energy to the maximum.

Questions and answers

How to light a fire-battery stove?

The answer to your question is in the “Operation Manual” for the Fire-Battery stove, which is included with each stove. If you do not have the necessary information, you have the opportunity to ask a question and receive a qualified answer from our specialists.

When heating the stove, add firewood to the firebox. To ensure access of air to the combustion zone, firewood should be laid loosely. In the future, the supply of air, which affects the intensity of combustion, can be adjusted using the fine air supply damper above the ash box lid. When lighting, the ash drawer must be pulled out to ensure intensive ignition of the fuel. To switch the furnace to an economical operating mode, simply push in the ash drawer and close the damper. In this case, the damper for fine adjustment of the air supply above the ash box lid should be set to an intermediate position, and then select the damper position that ensures stable operation of the stove in economical mode. The amount of closure of the chimney damper will be determined experimentally during operation, while the guaranteed flow area of the chimney with the damper completely closed will be 20% of the maximum. If it is necessary to add fuel, before opening the door, be sure to fully open the gate (the position of the handle flag along the axis of the pipe) and fully close the fine adjustment valve above the ash box lid. After 2-4 minutes. When operating in this mode, you can smoothly open the door and add fuel, close the combustion door and return the gate and ash box to their original state. When cleaning the Fire-Battery Light furnace from slag, it is recommended to leave the ash on the grate inside the gutters. Thus, due to the presence of ash in the grate grooves as a natural heat-insulating material, its resource will be significantly increased. For proper operation of the stove, it is necessary to use firewood of group 1 (with a density no worse than birch) from deciduous trees, with a humidity of no more than 20%.

Attention: in the process of improper operation - overheating of the stove during prolonged operation in intensive fuel combustion mode, the replaceable protection of the stove firebox in the lower part of the firebox may burn out. In this case, the protection must be replaced with a serviceable part.

Reviews and comments

Some of the reviews that related to certain characteristics are given above, and in this paragraph - general impressions and shortcomings that were identified during operation.

“I carried out the first combustion of Fire Battery 9 at my dacha. I covered half of it with dry poplar, chopped into small logs. I let it flare up, closed the ash pan for 5 minutes, and with the front damper open, it burned for another 10-15 minutes. During this time, the temperature increased significantly. I tried a sandwich near the ceiling - it was hot, I couldn’t hold my hand, and the floor (tiles) under the stove was only warm. I threw in 5 more unsplit birch logs, closed the gate at the bottom, set one notch on the pipe to the “closed” position and went to look at the pipe. When I heated it on the street for the first time - I burned it - the smoke poured out in a column. I expected to see something similar here too. There is almost no smoke, but my wood is dry. I looked and looked, the temperature had leveled off, there was no smoke, and, at about one in the morning, I went to bed. I woke up at 7. The house is warm, the wood is almost burnt out, but the stove is warm. It turns out that approximately 60% of the load burned for 6 hours. By 9 I decided to clean it - there was almost no ash. All the firewood produced approximately ¼ of the volume of the ash pit.”

More convenient to load firebox

“I finally started up my 11th Battery. What I like is that the firewood fits long and that’s great, it starts to produce heat very quickly. When this one is heated, it is enough for all 80 square meters on the first floor, so I don’t start a brick one yet (two stoves in one chimney). If you dim the fire, the heat from it is pleasant and does not burn. What I didn’t like is that I can’t achieve more than 4 hours of combustion, although I don’t close the back valve - I’m afraid and the fire is quite active all the time.”

There are some tips regarding active combustion. If even with the dampers closed there is a fairly strong combustion process, then your draft is very good, and the existing gaps for air supply are too much. The following recommendations are to reduce the clearance on the damper (add a small plate, but only so as not to completely block the clearance) or, if necessary, plug one or two secondary air supply pipes. They come out below under the slot convectors. But you don’t need to shut everything off at once: the combustion will slow down, but soot will form more actively.

Installed in a brick chimney

“I installed Fire-Battery 7. At first everything was fine, but after a month of periodic fires (while we live at the dacha), it began to smoke terribly, both in the burner and in all possible cracks. I’ve already taken it to friends and specialists, and they say that such a design will smoke from the burner. Your stove is bullshit"

What emerged from this review is that the chimney was made incorrectly: it was narrowed. It was brought out backwards, but without a tee to collect condensate. They burned with raw wood and all sorts of construction rubbish. In this situation, a plug of soot formed in the pipe, which almost completely blocked the lumen (this happened in just over a month of heating). After reworking the chimney, the problem was solved, there were no problems in further operation (three years have passed since the incident).

What is the difference

A few years earlier, the same Termofor had developed a good line of heating stoves, Professor Butakov, and a more budget-friendly one, Student. These units have performed well, are in stable demand and have good reviews. At the same time, manufacturers claim that Fire-Battery is much better. Below we consider a list of its advantages and differences.

More stylish design

This point can be left almost without comment, since the difference is obvious even in the photo. There is only one thing worth saying: the design is designed in such a way that there are practically no welds on the body, which, even with high quality, still remain seams and spoil the appearance of the same “Student”.

The look is truly unconventional and original

“I had a Student. I almost didn’t buy it again because of the burner at the top, but I decided to take a chance and buy the Fire Battery. The undeniable advantage of the Battery is that 15 minutes passed from the start of the fire to the moment the jacket was removed. And in general, she gives me continuous positive emotions: I really like her in appearance, and I’m a designer, so it’s not easy to please me.”

Heat flow structure

The “ribs” protruding on the sides are not made for beauty, these are slot convectors. With their help, hard thermal radiation is converted into softer, convection radiation. To put it simply: even during the period of active combustion, only pleasantly warm air comes from the Fire-Battery, and not heat. It is worth dwelling on this point in more detail.

Metal furnaces can be shielded or unshielded. Most metal unshielded stoves (such as potbelly stoves) heat the air in the room from a hot body. The nearby air heats up, rises, and cooler air takes its place. The entire room gradually warms up, but a clear unevenness remains: it is very hot near the stove, in the corners, it can even be cold. Moreover, in the active phase of combustion, the heating of the metal walls is such that a noticeable wave of heat rushes from the body. It’s uncomfortable to be with such a stove even in the same room, but next to it, it’s almost impossible. In furnaces of this type, about 20-25% is transmitted by IR radiation, 77% by hard thermal radiation.

Comparative table of some characteristics of two popular stoves

To make the experience more comfortable, the walls of the housing are shielded: another (sometimes two or three) layers of metal are installed at some distance from the firebox. Moreover, gaps are left at the bottom and top, that is, the housing is not hermetically sealed. This is done so that air rises along the body. Passing along the hot walls, it heats up, cooling the metal and carrying heat into the room. Such ovens are also called convection ovens (convection is the movement of air due to temperature differences). With this structure, heating occurs faster and more evenly, the feeling is more comfortable, and fuel consumption is less. Here the ratio of soft and hard heat depends on the number of screens and the design of the stove, but is approximately 40/60.

At the next stage there are so-called “pipe” furnaces. Like Buleryan, Breneran, Professor Butakov and Student. In them, instead of a screen, hollow pipes are welded into the body. The principle is the same: cold air enters the lower part of the pipe, passes through the pipe, it heats up and comes out at the top. Since the inside of the pipes goes into the firebox, heating is faster. Due to better shielding and more efficient heat transfer, the ratio of hard and soft heat is approximately 50/50 (branded Buleryans are better).

The lineup

The average lifespan is 6 years. After this, the firebox burns out. To increase service life, manufacturers have installed removable plates that cover problematic parts of the firebox. Such parts of the structure can be easily replaced with new ones. They are held in place by metal clips and, if necessary, can be easily removed without the use of specialized tools.

All described stoves are divided into 2 types - Fire-battery and Light. The second version of such a stove has a lower cost and has the following features:

the chimney of such a stove can only be directed upward;
the described designs do not have a burner;
the oven door is solid and does not have a glass insert;
similar products do not have front and rear convectors;
Also, such stoves do not have grates or ash pans.

It should be noted that such stoves are not inferior in efficiency to more expensive models. The service life is also 5-6 years. All models of the described products can be equipped with a heat exchanger for heating the liquid.

If you need a stove for occasional use in a country house, you should purchase a cheaper model, since spending extra money for additional functions is unwise. But when choosing a more expensive stove, you can be sure that its use will be more comfortable.

Dream Interpretation - Fire

Dreaming about fire is good, provided that you yourself are not on fire. A dream in which you see your house engulfed in flames means that you have loving friends and obedient children. An entrepreneur who sees his store on fire can count on profitable deals. Fighting fire promises hectic work. If you light a fire in a dream, pleasant surprises await you. For example, you will be able to visit friends whom you have not seen for a long time. A large fire seen in a dream is a good sign for everyone. He promises sailors a successful and safe voyage, writers - success and honors, business people - unlimited success in business. Seeing fire in a dream, you will soon fall in love, and your feeling will be mutual. You will have a wonderful relationship, full of love and harmony. And the Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga interpreted dreams about fire as follows. To see a sheet of paper engulfed in fire in a dream is a sign of a strong fire, as a result of which all the forests of the globe will be destroyed. To see one approaching from the sky in a dream a fire from which a bad smell emanates is a sign that soon you will become aware of the evil gossip that your ill-wishers are spreading about you. You will have to work hard to refute the machinations of your enemies and restore your honor and dignity in the eyes of others. Warming yourself by the fire in a dream - in real life you are a very happy person who knows that in difficult times he will always find understanding and support from his family members . This is not given to everyone, so you should value your neighbors. If you watched a fire in a stove in a dream, your home is in great danger from a fire. Be careful when handling fire, otherwise you will find yourself without a roof over your head. Seeing a small flame from a lit candle in a dream is a good omen. You will find peace, tranquility, happiness and love. If you dreamed of cities or forests on fire, then a terrible drought may happen in the future. D. Loff described “fire” dreams this way: “Fire has always evoked an overwhelming fear among representatives of various cultures. However, it is often also associated with purification: to come out of the fire undamaged means to be purified. But, if you dream that you are on fire, therefore, life seems threatening and unpleasant to you. If you dreamed that any object (house, car, etc.) was burning, this indicates your excessive attachment to this thing: without you simply don’t think about life. According to Freud, fire symbolizes male power. If you interpret the dream in this vein, then fire shows that you are striving to master the situation and control it to the extent possible. If in a dream you successfully cope with the flame, then in real life you will keep the situation under control, and vice versa.”
