General characteristics and design features
All sauna stoves include the following components:
- heating jacket, which gives off its own heat to the room;
- a firebox for burning firewood - from here the heat of the main structure is transferred;
- chimney;
- the furnace chamber is located next to the firebox - here the final decay of the formed flue gases takes place;
- grate and ash pan.
The designers provided for the presence of an opening in the rear of the unit, which simplifies the process of cleaning the furnace from combustion products and soot. There are also models that are additionally equipped with a stainless steel water tank. The thickness of such a sheet is at least 1.5 mm.
The Varvara company presented 8 models of sauna stoves. Despite such a limited choice, the clever design meets all the buyer's requirements:
- oven equipped with a side-mounted water tank;
- standard equipment, not equipped with a heat exchanger and a tank;
- modification of the previous furnace with a water heating circuit.
The built-in water heating circuit allows you to equip the stove with a reservoir of up to 120 liters. As a rule, it is mounted at the top, acting as a connecting element between the ceiling and the hot pipe. Thanks to this, the user receives a double benefit - the pipe allows heating the liquid in the tank, which does not require the use of protective materials to isolate the pipe from the materials of the ceiling and the ceiling itself.
Another feature of the product is the ability to use the stove as a boiler in a hot water heating system. In most cases, the side tank has a capacity of up to 60 liters.
Advantages and disadvantages
The demand and prevalence of the furnaces of this company is due to a large number of advantages:
- the possibility of additional equipment;
- in comparison with analogues, acceptable cost;
- ease of use;
- low weight of structures;
- ease of installation work;
- maintainability.
There are also disadvantages that you need to carefully read before buying.
- The installation of the stove involves lining it with finishing materials. Neglecting this requirement will negatively affect the thermophysical properties of the equipment.
- Slow heating of water in the tank.
- The design is equipped with an afterburner, which indicates a long combustion process. In turn, this leads to the formation and accumulation of condensate inside the chimney.
Each potential buyer will be able to choose the right model for their needs.
Varvara stove with brickwork
Brick oven models have an attractive appearance. Advantages of the units:
- Increased heat capacity of the equipment. Bricks accumulate the received heat, and gradually give it away as it cools.
- The space in which such equipment is installed is filled with dry heat, such characteristics are characteristic of steam rooms only in Russian baths.
- A design that differs from analogues, especially if you use decorative stone instead of ordinary brick.
The main disadvantage of the modifications is the large weight of the brick, which, in combination with the weight of the unit itself, forces the owner of the living space to build a new stove foundation.
A common problem is finding a conscientious kiln master who can perform all the work with high quality, using materials and compositions suitable for working with high temperatures. In most cases, a mixture of sand and clay is used.
