Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of havingblue fuel in your home. For this reason, long-burning wood-burning boilers are becoming quite popular. They have a simple design, have a huge number of advantages and can be designed with their own hands. Consider the features of the presented device in more detail.
So, long burning boilers with wood areheating devices of a special design that allow you to fully heat the required area and at the same time significantly save fuel. They can be installed both in residential private homes and in enterprises. The main thing - to choose the appropriate characteristics of the device.
Coppers of long burning on firewood havefairly simple principle of operation. The design of the device includes a heat exchanger, a chamber for the combustion of fuel, an ashpit. Also for this type of apparatus is characterized by additional details that provide air flow from the outside. At the same time, fuel is significantly saved. The fact is that it does not burn, but smolders very slowly.
Coppers of long burning on solid fuel or firewood possess certain technical features:
- The temperature mode of operation is 70/50 or 60/45 degrees.
- Efficiency - up to 80%.
- Functioning without interruption - 12-15 hours.
- The frequency of cleaning the ash pan - once a week (with permanent work).
These basic features will help you figure out whether to buy such a device. Naturally, you should also consider the advantages of the unit.
Coppers of long burning on firewood have some advantages:
1. High efficiency and performance. The device is capable of providing a good thermal return. They are very productive, even in those areas whose size reaches 200 square meters. m
2. Simplicity of design. You do not need special knowledge to operate or care for the device.
3. Availability of fuel. In addition to firewood, you can use pellets, coal or sawdust briquettes. This saves you money.
4. Ecological safety. For the operation of the device used natural material.
5. Efficiency.
6. Autonomy. Many device models do not require connection to the electrical network or other equipment.
7. Durability and reliability.
8. Duration of continuous work.
9. Durability. This design can last for at least 15 years.
Unfortunately, they also exist. The boiler on the wood of long burning "Buran" (or another model) has the following disadvantages:
- Large enough dimensions.
- A rather big weight. The fact is that some parts are made of cast iron. This makes the boiler more durable, but very heavy. Naturally, in this case, the installation location is limited.
- Today, firewood is becoming more expensive fuel.
- Periodically, the fuel chamber must be replenished.That is, you must follow the burning of wood. Otherwise, the boiler will simply go out. The frequency of pouring solid fuel is on average once every 3 hours.
- Some models are dependent on electricity. If not, then the device simply will not work as expected.
- The need to arrange the chimney.
The real boiler of long burning on firewoodworks quite effectively. However, you need to choose the model that will satisfy all your requirements. Try to pay attention to such criteria:
1. Camera to download. If it is large, then you will have less to load it with fuel.
2. Air supply mechanism. Naturally, the more efficient is the electric motor. However, this makes the boiler volatile.
3. Design features. You can choose a device that will be additionally equipped with a water tank.
4. The method of adjusting the intensity of smoldering firewood. Most often used for this mechanical thermostat.
5. Type of own heating system. It depends on what outputs should be in the unit.
Naturally, before buying should be carefullystudy reviews of other users about the selected model. It is necessary to acquire the unit only in licensed stores, which will be able to produce all the necessary documents for the goods.
Boiler on the wood of long burning do it yourselfmake relatively easy. However, this process has certain features. First of all, be sure to try to draw the exact scheme of your future creation on paper. Here make all the necessary calculations. At this stage, it is advisable not to make mistakes, because the effectiveness of the tool depends on correctly performed calculations. Naturally, you can use ready-made drawings.
Next you need to collect all the necessary material.and tool. Please note that you can use even available tools. However, there are parts that need to be purchased in the store. This applies to the air supply system and other elements. Naturally, the device should be equipped in such a way that it is stable, in a safe place.
The boiler on the wood for a long time burning it is not difficult to make your own hands. First you need to collect all the necessary components and accessories:
1. Fittings, bricks and concrete (for the manufacture of the foundation).
2. Stainless steel water tank or galvanized.
3. Metal pipes for connecting the tank.
4. Doors for ash pan and firebox.
5. Metal barrel or steel tube. In the first case, the volume of the vessel should be 200 liters. As for the pipe, it is desirable to choose a product 50-80 cm in diameter, as well as about 1 m in length.
6. Metal corners and steel sheets, whose thickness is 5 mm.
7. A circle 5 cm thick, which will separate the ash pan from the firebox.
8. Welding machine.
9. Drill and screwdriver.
10. Fasteners (for doors).
11. Scissors for metal.
12. The Bulgarian.
You may have to prepare some other tools. You will think about this during the manufacturing process.
If you decide to build long-burning boilers with wood, building your own hands involves several steps:
- First, prepare the central part.Divide it into several chambers using metal circles. The largest capacity should be a firebox. For fastening elements use a welding machine. The following chambers should be located in the pipe: combustion, complete combustion and ashpit. Immediately cut the doors for the first and last containers.
- In order for firewood to be carried outsystematic pressure, it is necessary to fix a special disk inside the chamber, equipped with blades. Consider that inside it you should make a hole with a diameter of 4 cm. Note that the volume of the bounding circle should be less than the volume of the case by a few cm.
- Steel pipe of smaller diameter should be fixed in the upper part of the stove. It will serve as a chimney.
- Now all the pipes and taps can be welded to the furnace, through which the device will be connected to the heating system.
- In addition, you can equip the boiler with a special water “jacket”, which will help to cool the combustion chamber. It is placed between the walls of the furnace (if they are double).
- Lastly, install on the device all the necessary instruments to control the power of the product, the air supply. Then the doors are fixed.
Now it remains only to properly install the device.
Made by long-burning stovewater on the wood should be properly mounted. In order to make all the manipulations right, you need to adhere to certain installation rules:
one.First of all, you need to make the basis for the product. Naturally, the installation site should be suitable. Try to mount the boiler in a room where no combustible materials are stored. It should be well ventilated. It is desirable that in this room there was no access for small children.
2For the manufacture of the foundation, you can use bricks and high-quality concrete. The base is necessary for the construction to be installed smoothly. Moreover, the presented boiler has a rather large weight.
3. All joints must be checked beforehand.
4. After connecting the heating system, the boiler can be checked. If everything is in order, then the installation occurred correctly.
If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to entrust this work to specialists.
The boiler for a long burning on the wood isunique heating device, the merits of which we have already considered. However, before making the product, read some useful tips to help you design a truly effective device:
1. All calculations must be accurate and correct. The smallest mistake can lead to the fact that the quality of work will decrease significantly.
2. After laying the fuel in the chamber and igniting it, the door must be closed. This is necessary to ensure that the material does not burn quickly. Heat enters the system.
3. A long-burning boiler for firewood must have a large loading chamber so that it can be loaded with fuel tightly.
4. It is impossible to mount such a device where explosive and combustible substances are stored.
That's all. Be careful and cautious during the manufacture of this device.
