Russian oven: device, properties and features

A small house, a Russian stove ... Probably, many inhabitants of megacities today would like to be there, especially if the house is in a secluded corner, on the shore of a narrow stream or in the shade of a forest. True, the Russian oven, the device of which is quite complex, is today less and less common. In its place, most fireplaces come to replace it - more modern and fashionable devices, with which you can create a certain atmosphere in the house. And the old kind Russian stove is gradually forgotten ...

Tribute to traditions

First I want to note that in Russia without a stove the house was not a house at all, because it not only heated, but also made it possible to cook food. Yes, and just from the very words and breathes a cosiness, a native hearth. The Russian oven device has such that it can be used for both home heating and cooking. By the way, today in many remote corners of our vast homeland there are still houses not connected to the benefits of civilization in the form of gas heating, and therefore their tenants are forced to still use the stove.

From a technical point of view, the device of the Russian kiln is rather complicated, it consists of the following elements:

• Shantsov;
• Podduvala;
• An air-blast door;
• Grate ;
• Furnace door;
• Filing;
• Furnace chamber;
• Hayla (in a different burnout);
• The furnace arch;
• Camera;
• Outer wall;
• Smoke smoke;
• Blocking the furnaces;
• Chimney to the pipe;
• An apostasy (the gap that remains between the chimney and the stove);
• Channel;
• Smoke flaps;
• Inner walls.

To choose what will be a Russian oven device, First, it is necessary to decide for what purposes it is needed, and second, to know how it works. The main elements of any design include the following: a furnace, a chimney and a pipe. The heart of the furnace is a furnace - a chamber in which fuel burns. Traditionally, the Russian oven is heated by firewood. The chamber under the furnace is a scum, it is necessary to blow air into the furnace. By the way, during the combustion of kilograms of fuel, the furnace consumes up to 10 m ^{3 of} air, which ensures excellent ventilation of the room. In addition, the furnace is designed in such a way that when it is warmed up and the operating mode is set, the best values of the thrust, complete combustion of the fuel, efficient use of heat are provided. The second important component is the chimney, that is the canal system, which is created inside the masonry. Passing through them, the smoke contributes to their warming. In the simplest version, the chimney has two turns.

Thus, the Russian oven, the device of which you need to know and when you lay it with your own hands, has the following characteristics:

1. Heat output, that is, power, namely the amount of heat energy that is released during heating.
2. The heat capacity, that is, after combustion of the fuel, the furnace remains warm for a long time.
3. Mass, which is also an important parameter. The lightest devices are those produced in the factory, and also made of cast iron or backfill. They can be installed on the floor even without a foundation. But manual laying will make the stove massive.
4. The traditional oven in Russia was a very important attribute in any home: the room was warmed, used as a warm stove or as a cooker, had a built-in boiler for heating water. And very often it was built by own hands, but for this it was necessary to know well The device of the Russian furnace. The circuit is therefore a very important component, without which it is simply indispensable. For a Russian person, the stove remains a traditional attribute to this day.
