The well-known Russian company Termofor manufactures heating, bath and portable stoves. The production was established in Siberia, where their reliability was tested by the harsh climate of the region. The company specializes in ovens for various purposes. Products of this brand are distinguished by long-term operation, as they are made from high quality raw materials.
Types of heating installations
The Termofor company produces different models of furnaces, which differ in design, heat output, availability of additional options and operate according to separate principles. The assortment includes:
- heating devices;
- woodburning stoves;
- gas and electric ovens for baths;
- units for heating and cooking;
- boilers for various purposes.
A separate samovar-type tank can be installed on the stove in the Thermofor bath. It can also be present in the set of models as an option.
Considering the material of manufacture, Termofor stoves are divided into devices made of high-alloy stainless steel (Inox) and cheaper units made of structural carbon steel (Carbon).
If the firebox of the stove is made of stainless steel, the service life of the heating device is significantly increased. But the price of such models is 15% higher.
Low power
Compact sauna stoves Termofor are suitable for a steam room of 4-10 m3. Heating units heat up quickly, little firewood is consumed. The stoves in modern models are of impressive size and can accommodate a lot of stones. This allows you to warm up the steam room for a long time. Equipment in this category is considered ideal for summer cottages and small cottages. Despite the fact that low-power models consume little fuel, their efficiency is quite high. For this reason, it is possible to save on heating without reducing the comfort in the house. This group includes ovens "Compact", "Normal", "Birch", "Cinderella".
Basic
Perfect for a steam room of 6-16 m3. Medium-power devices warm up the room well for an hour, the walls of the structure retain heat for a long period of time. Basic models retain all the properties of low-power devices, only they are installed in rooms with a large volume. If you choose the wrong heater for the steam room, problems may arise: excessive consumption of fuel, disruption of the operation of the unit (with all the consequences), low temperature in the room. Therefore, basic models on a level with low-power ones are often installed in summer cottages, in small cottages. Thermofor furnaces of this class include Tunguska and Geyser 2014.
Enlarged
The most powerful heating units are designed to heat 12-24 m3 steam rooms. This is the best option for a country house. By choosing such a model, you can provide sufficient coziness and comfort in the room for little money. Reliability of high-power heating furnaces Termofor eliminates unnecessary financial costs and other unpleasant moments. Representatives of devices with increased power: "Kalina" and "Hekla" Inox.
Heating stoves operate in the range from lowest to highest power. Many manufacturers, in order to attract a client, indicate the maximum parameters.The use of heating equipment at such a capacity will lead to its rapid deterioration. Therefore, the stove should be bought with a small margin of indicators.
Model classification
The Termofor company produces heating stoves of various types. They differ in design and have a specific purpose.
Sauna stoves
The range of heating devices for baths is wide enough. The smallest stove is suitable for a steam room with a volume of only 4 m3. The most powerful unit can heat a 50 m3 bath.
The stove for a bath Termofor consists of the following elements:
- casing-converter - designed to protect people from infrared radiation;
- system for self-cooling of handles on dampers and ash pan;
- construction for filling with stones in order to increase heat transfer;
- heat-resistant chrome-plated steel used in the fuel tank to increase the efficiency and heat transfer of the device.
The sauna stove Termofor can be used in Russian and Turkish steam rooms, Finnish saunas.
Wood stoves function on the basis of burning coal or wood. These are continuous heating ovens. They distribute heat evenly, warm up the ceiling, walls, floor, and also the shelves of the steam room well. Solid fuel stoves of this brand (Anthracite, Berezka, Angara 2012) are extremely colorful, reminiscent of old bathing customs.
Fireplace stove
The main functions and structure of wood heating equipment have not changed since old times. The Termofor fireplace stove differs from its predecessors only in unimportant parameters, for example, in design. User requirements for the appearance of the unit are caused by the desire to create a comfortable environment for work and rest. Modern fireplace stoves fit well into the interior of the room.
Furnaces with a water circuit
This model is a boiler that allows you to organize heating with water. A similar device ("Fire battery") is chosen by the owners of huge country mansions, since water heating evenly heats the premises of the house. The main difference between a boiler and stoves is the presence of a water circuit. Otherwise, they are similar.
Furnaces - mesh
There is no convection casing in this series of products, as the fuel chamber is surrounded by a heater. Outside, the latter is bounded by a net, which is made in the form of a barrel and performs decorative functions. An example of such a device is the popular Sayany stove Vitra.
Materials for the manufacture of heating systems Termofor
The popularity of heating units of the Termofor brand is ensured by an excellent design and high-quality materials used in production.
- The firebox, pockets, stove are elements of the stove that can withstand heat stress. They are made of heat-resistant alloy steel with a chromium content of at least 13%. Such a material has ductility and the required toughness.
- The use of electrodes for the housing allows for a robust design with unlimited service life.
- The chemical inertness of the material used for the production of the furnace eliminates such a negative phenomenon as the destruction of oxygen in the air in the room.
- Thanks to the use of heat-resistant boiler steels, it was possible to reduce the wall thickness of the unit to 2 mm. This reduced mass and thermal inertia. The Termofor stove heats up quickly.
- The grates are made of cast iron. This material ensures uniform combustion of fuel in the combustion chamber.
- The parts of the heat exchanger that are not exposed to strong thermal effects are made of structural steels.
- The outer surfaces of the unit are painted with silicone paint.
The small weight of the Thermofor heat generator is compensated by a spacious heater, which is a steam generator.
Design features
The models of Termofor ovens have some differences in the device, but all units are similar, since they function according to the same principle.
- The devices operate on wood, instead of which it is permissible to use pellets, Euro briquettes. The special design allows the fuel to burn for a long time (before turning into ash).
- Convective pipes pass through the combustion chamber, which provides convection heating of the room.
- Thanks to the enlarged removable grates, a lot of oxygen enters the combustion chamber. In addition, the ash does not remain in it, but falls into the ash pan. Oven operation and maintenance, including replacement of parts, can be done in-house.
- The firebox is shaped like a flame, which guarantees uniform heating of the surface.
- The surface of the combustion chamber is lined with a fire-resistant material from the inside, which prolongs the life of the product.
- The special design guarantees fire safety, improves heat transfer.
Furnaces Termofor have an attractive appearance, compact size. Therefore, the structure is installed in any premises of a residential building, dacha. But at the same time, the owner must comply with the necessary safety rules.
