TOP-10 of the best fireplace stoves for giving long-term burning: rating of the 2020-2021 year of cast-iron wood-burning models and a description of their parameters
At the mere mention of the word "dacha" a feeling of relaxation and tranquility comes to mind, and the crackling of firewood in the hearth.
The main difference between a long-burning fireplace stove and a conventional heating boiler is that it will allow you to fully enjoy the play of tongues of flame.
And also fill the home with warmth and comfort.
Distinctive features
The operation of any of the systems based on long-term fuel combustion occurs by ensuring the combustion of pyrolysis gases... They are released when fossil fuels are slowly burned.
Air ducts in such structures have their own characteristics, due to which the wood smolders and releases hydrocarbons in the form of gas.
The principle of operation of fireplace stoves is as follows:
- Pyrolysis gases, which are formed during the slow oxidation of organic-based fuels, come into contact with air and then enter the combustion chamber. As a result of the process, a significant amount of thermal energy is released.
- The resulting heat can be used to transfer the temperature to a coolant or indirectly heated boiler.
IMPORTANT! An important advantage of the fireplace stove can be considered the minimum level of soot formation during the combustion of pyrolysis compounds.
But it is worth considering that when arranging such a device, you need to correctly mount the chimney... It will allow high-quality removal of exhaust gases, ensuring the safety of residents and the efficiency of the furnace.
How to choose and what to look for?
When choosing a long-burning fireplace stove, you should pay close attention to the following circumstances:
- Fuel availability and cost... If there are available sawmills or other sources of waste from the carpentry industry near your place of residence, you should pay attention to models that run on wood. If coal or peat resources are available, stoves designed to consume this type of fuel are suitable.
- Material used for the production of the case... This factor will significantly affect both the price of the fireplace stove and the heat transfer rates. In addition, the service life of the entire structure largely depends on a high-quality housing. The body can be made of steel, ceramic material or cast iron. The last option is considered the most optimal.
- Power characteristics... They are selected depending on the area that needs to be heated in the ratio of 1000 W for every 10m2 (with a ceiling height of 2.5 to 2.8m) + 15-20%.
- Weight... The weight of a cast-iron fireplace stove will exceed that of a steel product by about 1/5. If the house has already been renovated and the site for installing the stove has not been reinforced in advance, it is worth choosing a steel product.
