For a private sauna in the country house, you can purchase the Tunguscu sauna stove. Such a heating unit is easy to use and compact. It is easy to install and easy to operate. The Tunguska stove will perfectly fit into any interiors.
Technical specifications
Separate models of heating systems for a bath:
- Tunguska classic. It has a low weight, not exceeding 50 kg. Its thermal power is sufficient to heat a 15 m3 steam room. If the door is left ajar during operation, the Tunguska sauna stove will warm up the entire room in one hour.
- Tunguska XXL. It is considered a more powerful model, designed for 20 m3. Its weight is 62 kg, thermal power is about 22 kW. In such a heating device, the volume of the heater is increased by 30%. The oven can be operated continuously at maximum power.
The dimensions of both units are 41.5x79.5 cm. All products are made of heat-resistant alloy steel (thickness exceeds 0.3 cm).
You can also purchase the XXL version with an enlarged 43 cm screen - Tunguska Vitra.
Design features
The sauna installation is capable of quickly heating up, heating the entire room to 100 ° C in 40 minutes, which is an excellent indicator.
The efficient operation of such a design is easily explained by the internal filling. The stove and chimney are made of heat-resistant steel, to which chromium (13%) is added. This significantly increased the strength of the entire structure.
The walls of the firebox are only 0.2 cm thick, so they heat up instantly. Due to the outer covering with a casing, a gap is formed between the parts of the unit. A certain volume of air is in a confined space, therefore it quickly heats up and leaves, and a cool stream takes its place.
Also, the purpose of the casing is to transmit infrared radiation emanating from the flame. At the same time, thermal efficiency increases even more rapidly.
The flue ducts are positioned in such a way that the combustion products are completely ignited. An air channel approaches the latter, which significantly enhances the flame.
Pros and cons
- Environmental friendliness of the equipment eliminates environmental pollution in the case of using firewood.
- Outgoing soft steam is excellent for a sauna.
- The equipment does not require complex installation, it is almost ready for use. You only need to connect to the chimney.
- The furnace is equipped with a heat-insulating cover.
- The compactness of the device allows it to be placed in any type of room.
- Significant heat output.
- There is no restriction on a specific type of fuel.
- Long operational life.
- Stability and reliability of work, maximum safety.
The main disadvantage is the high price of the Tunguska stove. This is due to the fact that all components of the device are made from high quality expensive raw materials.
Criterias of choice
When choosing a sauna stove with a heat exchanger, it is recommended to pay special attention to the following points:
- Water tank volume. It is better to calculate the required capacity in advance (on average 10 liters per person).
- Heating unit color.The stores have models of stoves of different shades, which makes it possible to choose an option according to your taste preferences.
- Product power. It is selected based on the building materials used in the construction of the building.
The thermal insulation of the building matters. For a brick structure, it will be necessary to increase the volume of the heat carrier by 1.2 m3 for 1 m2 of non-insulated surface.
User's manual
When using a Tunguska stove for a bath, the following rules must be followed:
- On the eve of the first connection, check the compliance of the installation with fire safety requirements.
- At the initial start-up, it is enough to warm up the equipment, remove industrial lubricants from the internal area. Therefore, the oven is turned on at maximum power. The high temperature burns the oil coating and produces harmful gases. It is necessary to open the door to get rid of the presence of harmful substances in the room.
- The first start-up is done only to set up the oven. Then the room is ventilated, the water is drained from the tank.
- The stones are placed only after the equipment has cooled down so as not to burn yourself.
- Water is added at some distance so as not to get damaged by hot steam.
It is forbidden to leave children unattended in the bathhouse, sauna or steam room.
Popular models of Tunguska stoves
The following sauna stoves are in great demand:
- Tunguska 2011 Carbon. The firebox and heater are made of structural steel material (4 mm), heat-loaded areas are thickened up to 6 mm. Due to the technical improvement of the casing, the maximum shielding of infrared radiation has been achieved.
- Tunguska 2011 Inox. The firebox and heater are made of heat-resistant steel material (up to 3 mm). This model differs from the previous firebox material, the device of the fuel channel. The Tunguska 2011 Inox stove can operate in an intensive or economical combustion mode.
- Tunguska 2017 Carbon. An improved model that has retained all the properties of the previous stoves: intensive heating of the steam room, self-cleaning from soot, economy, attractive design.
