Modern potbelly. Potbelly stove: selection, installation and safety of operation

Most owners of country houses and garages sooner or later face the problem of space heating. It is good if the building is connected to central heating or it is possible to install a heating boiler. This is justified if you live in the house for a long time. But what if you plan to live in the house only during the summer season or on weekends? In this case, a potbelly stove will be an excellent solution to heating problems.

A potbelly stove is the best option for heating rooms with a small area. And, if such a heating device is equipped with a hob, then you can even cook or heat food on it. The potbelly stove can run on both solid fuel and used engine oil, and the simplicity of the design allows you to do it yourself.

Types of furnaces bourgeois

Despite the relative simplicity of the stove, there are many types of potbelly stoves that differ in design, material, cost, and so on. First of all, it is necessary to determine the duration of the stove. There are potbelly stoves of the so-called long burning, and which will be an excellent solution for giving, especially if you plan to spend the summer season on it.

Cast iron stoves are the most popular option, but stainless steel models are also available. The design of the potbelly stove is quite simple and is a metal bunker with a furnace door and a chimney pipe. However, there are stoves with two combustion chambers.

As for the fuel used for bourgeois stoves, the most common option is wood-burning stoves. The popularity of such models is due to the fact that firewood is a fairly affordable material. But the cheapest option for a potbelly stove is a stove that runs on wood chips and sawdust. Of course, there are furnaces adapted to work on used engine oil, however, their design is the most complex of all the others.

Cast iron potbelly stoves for summer cottages

Currently, factory cast-iron potbelly stoves are produced in a wide range and, in addition to the main functions, can serve as a worthy interior decoration. Potbelly stoves can be heated with wood or any other solid fuel and used not only for heating the room, but also for cooking, as well as a hot water boiler.

A modern country potbelly stove made of cast iron is able to heat a room of 50-60 m² with a standard ceiling height. It may well compete with a fireplace or a brick oven. In addition, the potbelly stove is quite mobile and can be easily moved or transported to any other place. The only negative, a cast-iron potbelly stove cannot be made with your own hands at home.

Do-it-yourself stove-potbelly stove from a gas cylinder

Currently, there are a lot of drawings of bourgeois bourgeois of various types on the Internet. Most of the options, of course, are difficult to understand and self-assemble, however, let's look at the most simple and understandable options.

A potbelly stove made from a gas cylinder can be either horizontal or vertical. In any case, before starting work, appropriate preparations should be made to eliminate fire hazards. To do this, do the following:

  • remove the valve and release the remaining gas from the cylinder;
  • turn the container over and drain the remaining condensate into a tank or bucket, avoiding falling on the floor;
  • put the cylinder vertically and fill it with water, which will displace the remaining gas;
  • drain the water and the bottle is ready for the manufacture of the stove.

Horizontal option

In some cases, the horizontal version of the potbelly stove is preferable, especially if the stove will be fired with firewood.

Sequencing

  1. cut off the top of the gas cylinder with a grinder;
  2. from the fittings, cut pieces of the required length for the grate and weld them inside the container;
  3. cut a rectangular hole in the bottom of the cylinder, which will be the entrance to the furnace compartment. A furnace door is made from metal waste, to which hinges are welded and a handle is attached. It is advisable to glue the door around the perimeter with an asbestos cord;
  4. make holes at the bottom of the cylinder through which ash will fall out of the combustion chamber;
  5. under the holes for receiving ash, install a steel box with a door;
  6. make legs from a corner or pipe sections and weld them to the cylinder;
  7. cut a hole on top of the cylinder and weld a chimney pipe in its place;
  8. a metal frame can also be welded on the top of the cylinder, which can be used as a hob.

Vertical version of the potbelly stove

The vertical version of the potbelly stove is good because it occupies a smaller area. The oven is quite simple to manufacture, for this you need to follow these steps:

  1. mark on the cylinder places for the doors of the furnace and ash pan;
  2. cut the marked holes with a grinder and install doors with hinges and handles made from metal waste;
  3. 10 centimeters below the level of the furnace door, install grate bars from fittings;
  4. weld legs from a metal corner or pipe to the bottom of the cylinder;
  5. make a hole for the chimney on top or on the side of the cylinder, to which a metal pipe is welded.

The video shows the entire process of making a potbelly stove from a gas cylinder.

Brick cottage potbelly stove

In the event that it is planned to use a potbelly stove in the country as a stationary stove, then it is worth lining it with bricks. This will make it possible to significantly increase heat transfer.

For such a stove, the main casing of a rectangular shape should be made of sheet metal 3-4 mm thick. First of all, the sidewalls are welded together and a thick cover, grate and bottom are already attached to them. The chimney is recommended to be made of thick metal. Overlay the finished structure with bricks.

Long burning furnace

Such a furnace has a very important advantage, namely, the furnace does not require frequent filling of fuel. This is achieved through the use of a pyrolysis process. Fuel combustion occurs in the upper part of the furnace, and the combustion process is replaced by smoldering. Fuel burn-up lasts up to 60 hours.

To make a long-burning stove, you will need a large diameter pipe or a steel barrel and a channel.

Manufacturing process

  1. the bottom of the barrel is cut off with a grinder, and the edge is leveled and cleaned;
  2. a cover is cut out of a steel sheet, in the center of which a hole is made for a pipe with a diameter of 100 mm;
  3. a chimney pipe with a diameter of 150 mm is welded on top of the stove;
  4. in the lower part of the pipe, a circle is welded and reinforced with corners, which, as the fuel burns out, will fall down;
  5. a special divider of a slightly smaller size with a hole in the middle with a diameter of 10 mm is installed under the upper chamber;
  6. the pipe is mounted in the cover.

How to melt a potbelly stove

It may seem that kindling a potbelly stove is a fairly simple matter. However, this is true if you have encountered stove heating at least once. If you are a beginner among stokers, then let me offer detailed instructions. So:

  1. Paper. Crumpled paper should be placed on the grate (any newspaper will do for this).
  2. Brushwood or torch. Depending on what you have, lay the kindling material on top of the paper. It should be borne in mind that brushwood, no matter how dry it may be, flares up worse than a torch.
  3. Fuel. Lay a couple of small logs on brushwood or a torch. Whatever fuel you use for a potbelly stove, firewood is necessary in any case. Even such fuel as coal simply will not flare up without firewood, because for this it needs a high temperature.
  4. Ignition and control. After everything is done, you can start the oven. Set fire to the paper, while the blower of the wood stove should be half open. Do not forget that the draft in such a stove is regulated only with the help of a blower. It is not recommended to close it completely, but it is best to leave a small gap. Do not overload the oven with wood and constantly monitor the traction force.

Sawdust stove

Sawdust, of course, is not the best type of fuel due to its poor combustion. However, due to the easy availability of this fuel, this type of potbelly stove is as widespread as the wood-burning stove.

The design of the furnace consists of two metal cylinders of different diameters. A cylinder of smaller diameter is inserted into a larger one and is a chamber for fuel. A hole with a diameter of 50 mm and a flanging of about 10 mm is cut into the bottom of the fuel cylinder. The chimney pipe is located at the bottom of the outer cylinder. The ash box is welded from 3 mm thick steel and equipped with a door.

A cone-shaped core made of wood and having a height of 500-600 mm is inserted into the hole of the inner cylinder. Sawdust is poured around the core and compacted well. This is done so that the combustion of the fuel is not too intense. After removing the core, install the fuel compartment in the potbelly stove.

The sawdust stove is ignited through the ash box using shavings, bark or torches. The fire through the slot will ignite the sawdust and when it reaches the top layer, the stove should be covered with a lid.

Installing a potbelly stove in the country

When installing any type of potbelly stove in a country house or in a house, one should not forget that the body of the stove is still metal, which means it heats up quite quickly and strongly. Steel stoves cool down faster, and cast-iron potbelly stoves retain heat for a long time and therefore they must be installed in accordance with fire safety rules.

The installation of the potbelly stove should be carried out on a fireproof base, such as:

  • concrete;
  • brick pedestal;
  • tin sheet;
  • floor ceramic tiles.

It is absolutely unacceptable to install bourgeoisie on:

  • parquet or wooden floor;
  • laminate;
  • linoleum;
  • carpet or any other soft floor covering;
  • plastic.

The potbelly stove should be at least 1 meter away from wooden panels or walls. The section of the chimney located in the room must be solid without any connections. If for some reason this is not possible, then the connection must be made with the lower section entering the upper one. The fuel is placed away from the furnace door so that possible sparks or accidentally dropped coals do not ignite it.

Conclusion

As you noticed, there are many options for stoves for cottages and garages, and sometimes they can be simply irreplaceable. Such stoves can be fired with almost any type of fuel and even waste. Due to the simplicity of the design and with the appropriate tools and materials, it will not be difficult to create such an oven at home.

Inveterate summer residents who spend not only summer on the site, but also part of spring, as well as deep autumn, need to take care of heating their country house. As a rule, holiday villages are not connected to gas supply, at the same time, laying down a brick oven or fireplace is quite difficult and expensive. Therefore, the best option is solid fuel stoves, to which this article is devoted.

General information

At the word potbelly stove, many imagine roughly welded, unattractive steel structures in the form of a metal box on legs, with a door and a chimney. Until quite recently, these furnaces were just that. They had a low efficiency, respectively, it was quite difficult to heat large rooms with their help.

This heating option also has the right to exist. However, recently modern potbelly stoves have become increasingly popular, which look quite nice and can become an addition to the country interior.

Their main advantage is higher work efficiency, although the price of these products is also much higher. Next, we will take a closer look at the features of such furnaces.

Features of modern bourgeoisie

Design features

Modern potbelly stoves are an improved design of a metal stove. They are able to heat a room up to 100 cubic meters and retain heat for a long time.

Among the features of their design, the following points can be distinguished:

Sealed doors The glass doors, framed by a metal frame, fit snugly to prevent smoke from entering the room.
The presence of valves on the doors and air intakes of the ash pan Valves allow you to adjust the air supply, on which the intensity of combustion depends.
Heat-resistant lining of internal walls Allows you to protect the metal from overheating and retain heat for a long time.
The presence of re-burning Afterburning ensures complete burnout of residual flue gases and thereby increases the efficiency of the furnace.
Separation of the chimney into outlet and heat exchanger This design allows you to keep warm longer. The heat exchanger is a "smoke bag", which is located inside the structure. The metal pipe that goes outside has valves that also help keep the heat in.

Advantages

Modern potbelly stoves, thanks to the improvement of the design, can be used as the main or additional source of heat in a country house.

They have a number of advantages over traditional brick ovens, among which the following points can be highlighted:

  • A potbelly stove for giving with a hob, which many modern models have, makes it possible to cook food.
  • Does not require complex maintenance, unlike brick structures.
  • Installing a potbelly stove in the country with your own hands does not cause any problems even in a built house, since it does not require the construction of a foundation. This is due to the low weight of the structure. (See also the article.)
  • Low cost compared to brick structures.
  • Ability to burn multiple types of fuel- peat, firewood and wood briquettes.
  • These constructions are fireproof. The only thing is that during their operation it is necessary to observe elementary safety rules.
  • If necessary, the oven can be moved to another room, in which it is possible to bring the chimney to the street.

Advice!
In order for the heating to be more efficient, it is necessary to take care of the thermal insulation of the house and the elimination of all cracks in the doors and windows.

Election Features

In order for the purchase to be not in vain and work as efficiently as possible, when choosing a product, you need to pay attention to the following points:

  • The dimensions and volume of the furnace depend on the size of the room to be heated. You can find out for what heating area the product is designed for from the instructions that are attached to it.
  • If the house is built from a "cold" material, such as concrete, then the power of the product should be greater than for buildings made of wood or, for example, aerated concrete.
  • The choice of model largely depends on the fuel with which it is planned to heat the stove.
  • It is advisable to give preference to models with a hob. This will allow you to cook food in the event of a power outage.
  • One of the most important parameters of a product is safety. Therefore, it is better to buy a potbelly stove in stores, and not from individuals.
  • Modern designs can have a variety of designs. Therefore, when choosing a product, attention should be paid to its appearance so that it fits into the interior design of the room.

Note!
Cast iron can withstand higher temperatures than steel and is more durable.

If you take into account all these points when choosing, the purchase will be able to heat your country house for many years.

Installation of a potbelly stove

As mentioned above, every summer resident will be able to install such a stove with his own hands.



The classic stove for a wood-fired cottage has a simple design and device, but it is characterized by large heat losses. Modern models use the principle of long burning. Improved design of wood-burning stoves, provides better heat dissipation and efficiency.

Types of stoves such as potbelly stoves, for heating summer cottages

Wood stoves for summer cottages are available in several versions. When choosing a suitable stove, take into account: the material of the furnace, the combustion principle used, the presence of a hob:



After the person has decided on the configuration of the future furnace, they proceed to the direct selection of the model.

Which potbelly stove to choose for a country house

The choice of a potbelly stove is based on several operating parameters and characteristics:

Potbelly stoves for summer cottages are made by several companies. The product range ranges from simple classic models to advanced models with integrated convection tubes and a radiator.

The following models are considered the most popular:

In a separate line, it is worth highlighting a series of convection ovens manufactured on the basis of the Russian company Termofor. Judging by consumer reviews, these are the best furnaces for domestic operating conditions. The product range includes the following models:

Furnaces of the Termofor company, favorably stand out among analogues, with their internal structure and beautiful appearance.

Potbelly stove - the correct installation in the country

After choosing a suitable model, it is required to correctly calculate and determine the location of the furnace, make the connection in accordance with the fire safety standards and installation rules specified in the technical documentation.

Installation work is carried out taking into account the existing SNiP and PPB. Do-it-yourself installation of a potbelly stove is allowed, but, during the work, several recommendations are observed:

How to secure walls in a country house

When burning solid fuels, flue gases are heated to a temperature of 550°C. The body of the stove heats up red-hot, which can cause a fire, especially if the operation is carried out in a wooden house. The PPB stipulates the need for fire breaks and fireproof screens.

Installation work is carried out as follows:

  • Choice of location - the oven must not come into contact with walls made of combustible materials. The minimum distance to unprotected surfaces is at least 150 cm. The walls close to the furnace body are protected with non-combustible basalt insulation, a metal sheet is sewn on top.
  • Correctly install the stove potbelly stove, taking into account its features of operation. From the combustion chamber in the direction of opening the door to the nearby wall, leave a distance of 125 cm.

Usually, a potbelly stove is placed directly in a heated room. Modern stoves such as Breneran are connected to air ducts, which makes it possible to heat even remote rooms.

What should be the chimney at the stove

The peculiarity of all solid fuel units is that soot accumulates in the chimney, over time, this leads to spontaneous combustion of deposits. At the same time, the flue gas temperature rises sharply up to 1000 °C. Installation of a smoke exhaust pipe is carried out taking into account this feature:


How to overlay a potbelly stove with bricks

Completely safe use of a potbelly stove in a country house is possible only after lining the stove with bricks. This solution allows you to fit a solid fuel heater into any interior. If necessary, the brick is additionally lined with tiles or stone.

Furnace finishing work is carried out in compliance with the following recommendations:

  • Refractory materials: fireclay or ceramic bricks, laid on a clay mortar or a special adhesive. The first few kindlings are not carried out at full strength so that the seams acquire maximum strength.
  • In masonry, convection channels must be provided for unhindered air circulation.
You can equip the oven with any ceramic brick, with the exception of facing. When selecting a potbelly stove, further lining is taken into account and the power is calculated, taking into account the necessary heat loss to warm up the brickwork.

Heating a garden house with a potbelly stove does not require significant installation and maintenance costs. At observance of PPB, the furnace is completely safe, convenient in operation. Ideal for heating small spaces.

The potbelly stove is very popular for heating small rooms. It is an excellent option for giving, while being very economical and easy to use. The appearance of this stove is a small rectangular box on four legs, it has a door and a compartment for laying fuel, as well as an ash box that must be cleaned regularly. Each stove has a branch pipe on which an exhaust pipe is installed, its length must be at least 5 meters. The longer the pipe, the better the traction and, accordingly, the power of the potbelly stove. This type of heater can be made of cast iron or steel.

Potbelly stoves were very popular in the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, they appeared in Russia. At that time, this device was considered an excellent solution. for heating small houses and even urban apartments. The stove consumes firewood for fuel, while generating enough heat to heat a room up to 60-70 square meters. Now such stoves are used for secondary heating, for example, a country house. In such a room there is no need to create a heating system with an expensive boiler, therefore, in our time, people actively use potbelly stove. It allows you to warm the room at the right time, while not requiring any financial costs. For the operation of such a stove, only firewood, a chimney and good ventilation in the room are needed.

Functional parameters of the potbelly stove

Nowadays, these stoves are created in various styles, so they can not only heat the room, but also decorate it. The potbelly stove can run on wood, no more than 25 cm long and other solid fuels, its main functions are:

  • Heating of the room;
  • Possibility of cooking;
  • Interior element, decoration.

The potbelly stove competes with fireplaces or brick stoves, but it has an advantage over them - very small dimensions. The potbelly stove is easy to connect, also assemble and transfer to another place, pull it out into the street for cooking in the fresh air, and so on.

If there is a need to constantly transport the oven, then in such a case the perfect solution would be collapsible potbelly stove. It provides for the removal of the top cover, which can be a hob, collapsible legs and a chimney, it can also be divided into several sections. Thus, the potbelly stove does not take up much space, is a very mobile stove and is easily transported. The use of this heating device eliminates the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, since it all exits through the chimney. The main thing is to implement correct installation, this will allow the stove to work at full capacity, which directly depends on the draft.

For these ovens, it is recommended to use dry firewood and logs. To ignite the potbelly stove, you need to open the firebox door, load the right amount of fuel there and set it on fire. After the fuel flares up, you can adjust its power by opening the ash drawer. It is possible to clean the unit from ash only in a cold state, the ash box is removed, and all its contents are poured into the trash. When the stove is fired for the first time, there may be a smell of burning paint, but this will not occur on subsequent uses.

What must be observed for safe operation potbelly stoves:

  • The oven must be installed on non-combustible base;
  • All objects and flammable surfaces should be no closer than 70-80 cm from the stove;
  • It is not necessary to lay in a potbelly stove at a time more than three kilograms of fuel;
  • The firebox door must always be closed, except when loading firewood;
  • It is forbidden to operate the oven with chimney malfunctions;
  • Do not leave a working oven unattended for a long time or with small children;
  • It is forbidden to touch the body of the furnace in working condition or immediately after extinguishing the flame in it, the entire surface heats up to a very high temperature;
  • Do not leave or keep combustible objects and materials near the operating stove.

Subject to all the rules, the potbelly stove will heat the room for a long time.

Advantages and disadvantages of a potbelly stove

Potbelly stove has a lot of advantages, the most important of them is economy, do not need any fuel costs. The stove works great on any wood, sawdust, wood chips, the main thing is that they are dry enough and can flare up. This unit can be easily transported, it is easy to cook food on it if the stove model provides for a hob on the top surface. This great option for a summer residence, which does not need to be heated every day, this unit can also be found at construction sites, in garages and other small spaces.

If you choose a stove in any style decision, then it will also become a wonderful decoration and interior detail. Potbelly stove made of stainless steel quickly heats up and cools down after work, this allows cleanse it of ashes as soon as possible after extinguishing the outbreak. Such a furnace is durable and reliable, the materials from which it is made can easily withstand high temperatures and are not destroyed.

The disadvantages of this stove include the fact that it is able to provide a favorable environment only in a small room. Using it in a cottage or a large building will not bring good results. The cast iron unit tends to cool for a long time after work. During the operation of the stove, the room is stored natural smell of burning wood. It is necessary to constantly monitor the operation of the stove and after it, until the potbelly stove has completely cooled down.

Installing a stove in a country house

Before starting the installation, you need to choose a suitable place for the potbelly stove. It must be remembered that it should be at a distance from all foreign surfaces and objects. At the same time, her work must always be monitored, which means that she must be in sight.

The legs of the potbelly stove are also made of metal, respectively, they heat up to a high temperature. The oven must be installed non-flammable base as: concrete, ceramic tiles, brickwork, tin coating. You can not put a potbelly stove on linoleum, laminate, soft surfaces, plank floors, parquet, plastic.

Chimney pipes must be installed without connections within the same room. If such work cannot be carried out, then the connection should be as tight as possible, the lower part of the pipe should “go into” the upper one. If the pipes provide passage through the walls, then you need to equip ceramic or brick thermal barrier. The fuel storage place must be at a safe distance from the stove.

Combined type potbelly stoves

Often people use such stoves not only for heating the house, a potbelly stove with a cast-iron stove can also be used for cooking. Ovens with a water tank, which in appearance resemble a samovar, are very popular. Cast iron potbelly stove with one burner can great replacement for a gas stove if it is used by one or two people. Furnaces with a continuous hob or several burners are also provided, there can be no more than four of them.

The potbelly stove has a low price, while no costs are required during operation, therefore it is the cheapest option heating a country house or other small room.

Until recently, a metal stove-potbelly stove was characterized by low efficiency with a huge fuel consumption. It took a total change in its device, so that it became a highly efficient heating device. What is the modern design of a potbelly stove?

Historically, the design of a potbelly stove is based on two basic elements: a firebox (combustion chamber) and a chimney. And the shortcomings of the model were largely the result of its primitive structure. The potbelly stove was a metal box or cylinder with legs, a door and a chimney pipe (also made of metal). The modern model is a complete oven with all the necessary structural elements.

Firebox


The upper part of the furnace (vault) of modern bourgeois stoves is made high enough, which makes it possible to install a system for re-burning flue gases in it, which increases efficiency and reduces the temperature of the smoke entering the chimney.


The cast-iron door may not cover the window of the furnace chamber, but, for example, its lower part - the ash pan

Ash pan and grate


A grate is installed at the base of the potbelly stove (fuel is placed on it). An ashpit is placed under the grate (an ash box that spills through the grate). The furnace and ashpit are equipped with doors. At the firebox, the door is often not made entirely of metal, but is supplied with heat-resistant glass. Thus, the potbelly stove turns into a kind of fireplace. The doors are closed hermetically, with a special constipation - this allows you to avoid smoke in the premises. On the doors of the furnace and ash pan, air intake holes are made, equipped with valves. By adjusting them, you can control the intensity of air intake, and hence combustion. Thanks to the valves, most modern bourgeois stoves can work in slow burning mode (one bookmark of firewood is enough for 6-8 hours).


The ash pan of the potbelly stove. The design of the ash pan - a box for collecting ash resulting from the burning of fuel - is almost the same for a stove and a fireplace. This is the same metal box with a door: through it, the firebox is cleaned of ashes.

Chimney of stove-stove


Has undergone the most changes. Previously, it was an ordinary metal pipe connected directly to the firebox. As a result, when the furnace was heated, the draft increased, and the flue gases, escaping from the wide furnace into the narrowing opening of the chimney, received a significant acceleration, which led to large heat losses and rapid wear of the chimney. Its burning was the most common cause of fires. This property has even been called the “potbelly stove effect”.


knee chimney The heat exchange part of the chimney is hidden inside the casing. Its device depends on the shape of the potbelly stove. In horizontally elongated furnaces, the so-called “smoke bag”, also known as a “cap” or “smoke chamber”, is usually arranged. Through the hole in the side wall of the firebox, the smoke does not pass immediately into the pipe, but into the chamber and from there - into the chimney. Getting into such a "hood", the flue gases significantly slow down their movement, due to which the amount of heat that they transfer to the walls of the furnace increases.

In potbelly stoves, which have a vertically elongated shape, to achieve this effect, flue gases are driven through a system of curved channels - knee or spiral. Thus, the heat transfer of the furnace is significantly increased, the speed of movement and the temperature of the gases are reduced, and the service life of the chimneys is increased.


Now the chimney has two parts: heat exchange and outlet. The latter, as before, is a metal pipe that can be taken outside or connected to an existing smoke channel. At the very beginning of the pipe, a damper is installed that blocks the chimney at the end of combustion. The heat exchange part is hidden inside the case. Its device depends on the shape of the potbelly stove: it can be a “smoke bag” or a knee chimney.

Specific instances of slow-burning metal furnaces

Bullerian



Furnace Buleryan (Bullerian, Bulerian) - was created by power engineers in Canada.

Unlike other heaters that emit heat only from the outer surface, Bullerian is designed from the outset as a true air heater.


Peculiarities:
- Powerful air heater for fast heating of any premises
- Not affected by electricity, oil and gas
- Heats the entire room evenly
- Works on all types of solid fuels, cardboard products and their waste
- Economical, easy to maintain
- Controlled combustion, high efficiency
- 7 modifications for rooms from 100 to 1000 cubic meters
- Used in cottages, residential buildings, workshops, garages, greenhouses
- Working time on one tab - up to 12 hours
- Patented, certified. Quality guaranteed

The all-metal construction with numerous pipes welded into it provides forced convection, due to which the air heats up quickly and is smoothly distributed throughout the entire volume of the room. A simple physical principle works: warm air rises, while colder air is constantly sucked from the floor. Each of the pipes, completely touching the furnace, has time to heat the air flow passing through it to 60 ° -150 ° C. The smallest Buleryan (Bullerian, Bulerian) passes through itself 4.5 cubic meters of air per minute. At the same time, the temperature of the stove itself remains quite low, it does not heat up like a "potbelly stove" and does not "burn out" oxygen.

The Buleryan furnace (Bullerian, Bulerian) works on the principle of a gas generator: the gases released during the combustion of solid fuel in the lower chamber enter the ejectors for the complete combustion of gas, where they burn out completely. This achieves a very high efficiency - up to 80%. The temperature of the outgoing air is regulated by a power regulator located on the oven door and a gasifier regulator located on the flue pipe. Furnace Buleryan (Bullerian, Bulerian) operates in two modes - "rapid heating" and "gasification", - solving two problems in succession: quickly heat a cold room and maintain a comfortable temperature for a long time. Arriving at a cold house and melting the Buleryan stove (Bullerian, Bulerian), you will get the required temperature in 20-25 minutes. The temperature of the outgoing air decreases to 50 "-60" C, and a full bookmark is enough for 12 hours, and the fuel burns out almost "to zero". Fuel for the furnace Buleryan (Bullerian, Bulerian) are firewood, peat briquettes, woodworking and paper industry waste. The use of coking coal is not recommended as can lead to premature failure of the oven.

Subject to all the rules of installation and operation, the warranty period for the Buleryan stove is 2 years, however, practice shows that the service life of Buleryan (Bullerian, Buleryan) is NOT LIMITED.


To solve the problem of heating several isolated rooms, flexible metal hoses are used, which are put on the warm ends of the pipes and distributed to the required rooms.


Furnace Buleryan (Bullerian, Bulerian) is used:

For halls and halls, because a single stove heats a room up to 1000 cubic meters (350 sq.m)

For dachas, houses and cottages, because it does not take up much space, quickly warms up the room and requires virtually no maintenance

In workshops, hangars and enterprises, in grain and wood dryers, because with the help of wood waste cheaply produces heat in sufficient quantities

In greenhouses, because it provides fast and cheap heat in a short time when cold weather sets in

INSTALLATION
It is recommended to install an autonomous heating system of a cottage no closer than 1 meter from walls and combustible surfaces (wood, wallpaper, etc.), at a minimum distance from the existing chimney (if any), and the free distance in front of the firebox should be at least 1 .25 m. The distance to combustible surfaces can be reduced to 200 mm if combustible materials are covered with 25 mm thick plaster or metal sheet over a layer of thermal insulation material. In the case of installing an autonomous heating system for the cottage "Bullerian" (Bullerian, Bulerian) in the premises of an organization or legal entities, the installation must be handed over according to the act to a representative of the fire department.

FOUNDATION for Autonomous Cottage Heating System (Bullerian, Bullerian).
For better air circulation through the Bullerian heating pipe system (Bullerian, Bulerian), raise the stove at least 200 mm from the floor level and install it on a base of brick, slabs, stone or other non-combustible material. For ease of maintenance, it is possible to install the system at a height of 300-600 mm on metal structures. In front of the firebox, to ensure fire safety, there should be a metal sheet measuring 500x700 mm, located with the wide side towards the stove.

DEVICE Autonomous Cottage Heating System (Bullerian, Bullerian).
Stove "Bulleryan" (Bullerian, Bulerian) is an all-welded steel structure, covered with heat-resistant paint (during the first furnace, it is completely polymerized, which is accompanied by a characteristic smell). The miracle stove "Bullerian" (Bullerian, Bulerian) consists of two combustion chambers: the lower chamber - the gasification chamber and the upper chamber - the afterburning chamber. There are afterburner injectors in the front pipes. IF YOU HAVE SMOKE THROUGH THESE PIPES, YOUR CHIMNEY IS EITHER INCREDIBLE OR CLOSED. The Miracle stove is equipped with two regulators: on the door (power regulator) and on the chimney at the back of the stove (gasifier regulator).

Stoves Professor Butakov



Furnaces Professor Butakov - a line of solid fuel hot air boilers for long burning. This project is named after the famous Russian heating engineer, Professor Sergei Efimovich Butakov (1905-1968), who taught for a long time at the Ural Polytechnic Institute. The scientist's monographs have become handbooks for professionals in the field of heat and gas supply and ventilation, and many scientific developments have been introduced at the enterprises of the Soviet Union.

All models of Professor Butakov furnaces are produced in five serial modifications for space heating from 150 to 1200 square meters and rated power from 9 to 55 kilowatts, respectively. Models are united by general purpose, principle of operation, layout and fuel used. They differ in overall dimensions, weight, volume of the combustion chamber, the maximum volume of fuel loaded, the size of the furnace door, the diameter and number of convective pipes, the cross-sectional area of ​​\u200b\u200bconvective pipes, the area of ​​​​heating surfaces, the diameter and height of the chimney. The smallest furnace is Professor Butakov "Student". Next in terms of power increase is the “Engineer” model, then “Associate Professor”, “Professor” and, finally, “Academician”, the heating area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich is 1200 m2.

Distinctive features and advantages of Butakov:

  • The area of ​​heating surfaces, one side of which is in contact with the flame, and the other side with the air of the heated room, is a record developed.
  • A large hermetic firebox and a secondary combustion system allow efficient use of the stove in long-term burning mode.
  • Convective heat exchange tubes are located directly in the flame throughout the entire cross section and along the entire length, from beginning to end.
  • The firebox is relatively long, high, narrow and truncated in the upper part. This form most fully corresponds to the form of the thermal diagram of a freely combustible solid fuel.
  • The front and back surfaces, on which the convective pipes are placed, fully participate in the convective heat transfer.
  • The flow of flame and hot flue gases is directed along the convective pipes, from their very beginning to their very end.
  • On the upper horizontal surface in contact with the flame, food can be heated or even cooked.
  • The large replaceable grate ensures uniform combustion. If necessary, it allows you to sharply force combustion to quickly raise the temperature or dry the raw fuel.
  • The capacious sliding drawer allows one movement, without interrupting burning, to remove ashes.
  • The inlets of convective heat exchange tubes are located at a considerable distance from the floor, which is favorable for air circulation. The boiler has a stable base with holes for additional fixing to the floor.

The Termofor company put into mass production a novelty, the analogues of which have not been seen either in Russia or in the rest of the world.

This is a small solid fuel heating and cooking stove with a built-in electric generator that converts the thermal energy of the fuel burning in the stove into electrical energy.

During the operation of the oven for its intended purpose, that is, in the process of heating or cooking, the oven generates a direct current of 12 volts and a power of at least 50 watts.

Is it a lot or a little? For a city dweller sated with comfort, probably not enough. For a person, for one reason or another, completely cut off from the outside world and its benefits - a lot. Often these saving 50 watts can become the line between life and death.

With the current level of development of energy-saving technologies, this power provides the entire set of electrical devices necessary for civilized life.

The development of the project was carried out by the Termofor company together with the Kryotherm company from St. Petersburg.

Recall that today in the world, out of 6 billion people on Earth, more than 1.6 billion people do not have access to stationary sources of electricity.

Of the 21 million dachas in Russia, about 5 million are either not connected to electricity at all or are experiencing severe power outages.

In northern latitudes, generating electricity from furnace heat has a number of distinct advantages compared to generating electricity from windmills, solar panels and diesel generators.


It is easy to imagine real conditions where there is neither wind, nor sun, nor the possibility of delivering diesel fuel.

The current generated by the oven is enough to connect 2-3 energy-saving light bulbs, charge batteries of a laptop, mobile or satellite phone, photo or video camera, connect a portable TV, radio, DVD player and other portable energy-saving devices.

According to the results of laboratory and field tests, the electric generator of the furnace reaches a stable mode in 6-8 minutes after the ignition of the fuel in the furnace.

The reliability of power generators is beyond doubt, since power generators of the Kryotherm company have been supplied to hundreds of consumer firms in 17 countries of the world for many years.

Similar power generators manufactured by our partner are used in the defense industry of many countries, space, and high-tech industries.
