How to make a long-burning furnace

A long-burning furnace is needed in order to warm up the dwelling as long as possible. No matter how it looks like a modern creation, or, conversely, under the old days, the only thing is to give heat. The house can have an autonomous heating system, that is, its boiler room, central heating, and at the same time a long-burning furnace that can be powered at any time, regardless of whether there is water or electricity.

To furnaces of this type can be attributed structures that for 2-4 hours are able to heat the room, while creating comfort and coziness. Fuel resources are getting expensive every day, they sometimes are not enough. Therefore, now the options for long-burning furnaces are actual, the energy and thermal potential of which is consumed completely.

Furnaces-fireplaces are very popular in modern buildings, cottages, cottages. To start building a long-burning furnace with one's own hands, one should adhere to the generally accepted rules created precisely for such construction.

If they decided to build an oven weighing less than 700 kg, then it does not need a foundation. Such an oven can be installed on both the second and the first floor of the building. For the construction of a heavier structure, a foundation is needed. It must be independent of the main foundation. Between the foundations should be a distance of at least five cm in order to avoid cracks formed during the shrinkage of the house. That is, a long-burning furnace must exist independently of the main structure.

For construction, clay is needed. Only it, in combination with mountain sand, will become a good binding material. Of course, you can buy ready-mix, which is now a lot, but according to the experience of people who encounter such work, it is better to use clay. The brick should be used fireproof, of good quality.

First, the ash-pot is spread, ash will be poured into it. The grill is placed on the ashtray. Then put the walls of the compartment for firewood and install the door. Further laid out chimney. It can be either simple or complex. A simple chimney has one turn of the channel, and a complex one - a few. The more channels, the longer the heat keeps in the house. After the long burning furnace is almost ready, it can be applied with decorative tiles, thus giving it an interesting look.

In addition to brick kilns, you can use a "burzhuyku." Such furnaces are used in construction cabins, garages, in cottages. It is easy to manufacture. You can make it from a metal pipe with a diameter of 400-600 mm. The bottom and the top of the pipe are covered with metal cut into size and brewed. In the upper part we cut out the hole under the chimney, later a pipe will be welded to it.

At the bottom of the already almost finished stove we cut out a rectangular hole and mount the door to it. It will blow. A little above is cut out a hole for firewood, and also is completed with a door. To prevent firewood from falling into the lower part, it is necessary to install a grate between the furnace and the blower. Further we weld the pipe - the chimney, and the furnace of long burning - the burzhuyka - is ready.

In order to make heating in a private house stand-alone, it is necessary to make or buy a long-burning furnace with a water circuit. It will heat the room not only with its heat, but also with the heat of water or other liquid that passes through the heating system of your house. A water boiler installed above all heating appliances is needed to relieve pressure. It is one of the main elements in the design of such furnaces. His name is the expansion tank. If it is missing, or manufactured and installed incorrectly, there will not be heating in the house. Therefore, furnaces with a water circuit in the manufacture require a serious approach.
