Buleryan is a long-burning convection oven, based on the principle of operation, reminiscent of a "potbelly stove". The name of the structure was given by a well-known brand, which in 1993 developed a highly economical, efficient heating device. It is used for heating residential, non-residential premises.
Description of the Buleryan furnace
The Buleryan stove is a cylindrical steel structure with pipes hidden inside, bent in a special way. The third part of the tubes protrudes outward. The door with a rotary throttle blower closes tightly, creating an increased tightness. The body is equipped with two combustion chambers and a gate damper at the outlet of the firebox, which regulates the thrust force.
The mechanism works according to the principle of a classic potbelly stove, but at the same time it differs in some peculiarities. Cold air, passing through the inner pipes, heats up to the required temperature and leaves the upper part. In one minute, the furnace is capable of passing through itself up to 6 m3. At the same time, the surface of the heater heats up to 50 ° C, which makes it safe to use.
The Buleryan stove is equipped with two firebox chambers. In the first, the fuel smolders and gases are generated, which move into the chimney, which is the second chamber, where they completely burn out. Such a combustion system makes the mechanism as economical as possible with an optimal efficiency of 80%. Due to smoldering, one full load of fuel is enough for 8 hours of continuous operation.
The main working materials are:
- peat;
- firewood;
- pellets;
- chips;
- briquettes and woodworking waste.
It is forbidden to use coal, which can lead to burnout of the case.
Pros and cons
Over time, the design has become popular among a wide range of consumers, not only in Canada, but also far beyond its borders, thanks to the following advantages:
- compact size, light weight - 50 kg;
- a decent radius of heat spreading - 100 m3;
- low energy consumption with decent performance;
- no need to constantly add fuel to the furnace;
- acceptable price;
- ease of use that does not require complex manipulations and qualifications.
The disadvantages of the Bullerjan oven include:
- the formation of soot due to incomplete removal of combustion products;
- an unpleasant odor that occurs during kindling and in the process of smoldering dust that has settled on the outer surface of the structure;
- the need for constant adjustment.
These disadvantages are not so significant compared to the advantages.
Stove chimney
When choosing a chimney for a Buleryan fireplace stove, it is important to consider the following indicators:
- the presence of thermal insulation;
- how convenient the installation is;
- lifetime;
- indicators of intensity and stability of traction.
An important factor is the material of manufacture:
- Brick. A popular option that is better to install in a ready-made system, and not at the stage of building a building.
- Ceramic. Difficult to assemble, requiring the installation of protective blocks for ceramics, plaster, pipe lining. But at the same time, the chimney is resistant to temperature extremes and the appearance of condensation. It has a long service life of up to 50 years.
- Stainless steel.Fast, easy installation, during which it is necessary to take care of additional thermal insulation to protect the material from deformation during strong heat.
The chimney for the Buleryan stove can be made by hand. To do this, you must first stock up on everything you need and follow the instructions.
Place of installation
Buleryan for heating with a water circuit is mounted in compliance with fire safety rules in places with good air circulation. For an even distribution of heat, it is recommended to install the structure in a room that is located in the middle of the building at an equal distance from the heated rooms.
The Buleryan boiler is used to organize the main or additional heating. In the first case, the equipment is suitable for houses with an area of no more than 70 m2, with 4-5 rooms. As an auxiliary heat source, the device saves gas / electricity and helps maintain a comfortable temperature in severe frosts.
According to fire safety, the distance from the nearest object to the front door must be at least 1.25 m, to elements with flammability - 1 m, to non-combustible products - 0.7 m.
A boiler for a house or a stove for a Buleryan bath is mounted on a special non-combustible support made of metal, brick, 20 cm high. The floor covering in front of the door must also be made of non-combustible materials.
Features of the firebox
For the Buleryan stove, deciduous wood is used, coniferous wood quickly clogs the chimney, so this type of fuel is not recommended. Fruit tree varieties emit a minimal amount of heat.
In front of the firebox, open the chimney gate, the blower damper. Firewood is ignited by any kind of ignition. After combustion has started, the loading door is closed. It is imperative to follow the process for 10-15 minutes to make sure that the current process is correct. Warm air begins to flow into the room quickly enough. If there is a strong draft in the stove, a kind of hum appears, at which it is recommended to slightly cover both dampers.
In addition to standard firewood, you can use:
- brown coal together with firewood - it is forbidden to heat only coal, this will greatly reduce the service life of the equipment;
- peat briquettes - the best option with ideal heat transfer;
- tree bark, sawdust, wood chips - will help to save money;
- pellets - pre-installation of a grid is required.
To reduce fuel consumption, it is necessary to insulate and regularly clean the chimney, lay only dry firewood from hard trees: oak, aspen, acacia.
