General characteristics and design features
Stoves "Varvara" for a bath are characterized by simplicity of design. This is one of the main qualities that users love her for.
All bath stoves include the following components:
- a heating casing that transfers its own heat to the room;
- a firebox for burning wood - the heat of the main structure is transferred from here;
- chimney;
- the furnace chamber is located next to the furnace - here the final decay of the formed flue gases takes place;
- grate and ash pan.
The designers provided for the presence of an opening in the rear of the unit, which simplifies the process of cleaning the furnace from combustion products and soot. There are also models that are additionally equipped with a stainless steel water tank. The thickness of such a sheet is at least 1.5 mm.
The company "Barbara" presented 8 models of stoves for a bath. Despite such a limited selection, the thoughtful design meets all the requirements of the buyer:
- an oven equipped with a water tank that is installed on its side;
- standard equipment not equipped with heat exchanger and tank;
- modification of the previous furnace with a water heating circuit.
An integrated water heating circuit allows you to complete the furnace with a tank of up to 120 liters. As a rule, it is mounted at the top, acting as a connecting element between the ceiling and the hot pipe. Thanks to this, the user gets a double benefit - the pipe allows you to heat the liquid in the tank, which does not require the use of protective materials to isolate the pipe from the ceiling materials and the ceiling itself.
Another feature of the products is the possibility of using the furnace as a boiler as part of a water heating system. In most cases, the side tank has a capacity of up to 60 liters.
Advantages and disadvantages
The demand and prevalence of furnaces of this company is due to a large number of advantages:
- the possibility of retrofitting;
- in comparison with analogs acceptable cost;
- ease of use;
- low weight of structures;
- ease of installation;
- maintainability.
There are also disadvantages that you need to carefully read before buying.
- Installation of the stove involves its lining with finishing materials. Neglect of this requirement will adversely affect the thermophysical properties of the equipment.
- Slow heating of water in the tank.
- The design is equipped with a afterburner, which indicates a long combustion process. In turn, this leads to the formation and accumulation of condensate inside the chimney.
Each potential buyer will be able to choose the right model for their needs.
Barbarian stove with brickwork
Models of brick ovens have an attractive appearance. Advantages of units:
- Increased heat capacity of equipment. Bricks accumulate the received heat, and gradually give it away as it cools.
- The space in which such equipment is installed is filled with dry heat, such characteristics are typical of steam rooms only in Russian baths.
- A design that differs from analogues, especially if instead of using ordinary bricks, use decorative stone.
The main disadvantage of the modifications is the large weight of the brick, which, combined with the weight of the unit itself, forces the owner of the living space to build a new kiln foundation.
A common problem is the search for a conscientious furnace master who can perform all the work efficiently, using materials and compositions suitable for working with high temperatures. In most cases, use a mixture of sand and clay.
