To equip a private sauna in the country house, you can buy a stove for the Tunguska bathhouse. Such a heating unit is convenient to use, compact. It is easy to install, operation does not cause any difficulties. The Tunguska stove will fit perfectly into any interior.
Technical specifications
Separate models of heating systems for the bath:
- Tunguska is classic. It has a small weight not exceeding 50 kg. Its thermal power is enough to heat a steam room with a volume of 15 m3. If during operation the door of the latter is left ajar, 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 mass is 62 kg, thermal power is about 22 kW. In such a heating device, the volume of the heater is increased by 30%. The furnace can continuously operate at maximum power.
The dimensions of both installations are 41.5x79.5 cm. All products are made of alloyed heat-resistant steel (thickness exceeds 0.3 cm).
You can also purchase the XXL version with an enlarged screen of 43 cm - Tunguska Vitra.
Design features
The bath installation is able to quickly heat up, heat the entire room to 100 ° C in 40 minutes, which is an excellent indicator.
The effective operation of such a design is easily explained by the internal filling. The stove and chimney canal are made of heat-resistant steel, to which chromium is added (13%). This significantly increased the strength of the entire structure.
The walls of the furnace have a thickness of only 0.2 cm, so they heat up instantly. Due to the outer casing between the parts of the unit, a gap is formed. A certain amount of air is in a confined space, so it quickly warms up and leaves, and a cool stream takes its place.
Also, the purpose of the casing is to transmit infrared radiation from the flame. At the same time, thermal efficiency increases even more rapidly.
Flue ducts are arranged so that the combustion products ignite completely. The air channel approaches the latter, which significantly enhances the flame.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main positive aspects of the Tunguska furnace are considered to be a long term of use and attractive appearance. Additionally, it is worth noting:
- The environmental friendliness of the equipment eliminates environmental pollution in the case of firewood.
- Outgoing soft steam is excellent for a bath.
- The equipment does not require complex installation, almost ready for operation. All that is required is a connection to the chimney.
- The furnace is equipped with a heat-insulating coating.
- The compactness of the device allows you to place it in any type of room.
- Significant heat output.
- There is no restriction on a specific type of fuel.
- Long service life.
- Stability and reliability, maximum security.
The main disadvantage is the high price of the Tunguska stove. This is because all the components of the device are made from high quality, expensive raw materials.
Criterias of choice
When selecting a bath furnace with a heat exchanger, it is recommended to pay special attention to such points:
- The volume of the water tank. It is better to calculate the required capacity in advance (on average 10 liters per 1 person).
- The color of the heating system.In stores there are models of stoves of different colors, which makes it possible to choose the option according to your taste preferences.
- Product power. It is selected based on the building materials used in the construction of the building.
Thermal insulation of the building matters. For the construction of bricks, it will be necessary to increase the volume of the thermal carrier by 1.2 m3 for 1 m2 of uninsulated surface.
User manual
When using the 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 inner area. Therefore, the furnace is turned on at maximum power. Under the influence of high temperature, the oil coating burns out, harmful gases are formed. You need to open the door to get rid of the presence of harmful substances in the room.
- The first launch is done only to configure the furnace. Then the room is aired, water is drained from the tank.
- Stones are laid only after cooling the equipment so as not to burn yourself.
- Water is added at a certain distance so as not to get damaged by hot steam.
In the bathhouse, sauna or steam room, it is forbidden to leave children unattended by adults.
Popular models of Tunguska furnaces
The following bath stoves are in great demand:
- Tunguska 2011 Carbon. The firebox and heater are made of structural steel material (4 mm), the heat-loaded sections are thickened to 6 mm. Due to technical improvement of the casing, maximum shielding of infrared radiation was 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 furnace material, the device of the fuel channel. The Tunguska 2011 Inox stove can work in intensive or economical combustion mode.
- Tunguska 2017 Carbon. An improved model that retains all the properties of previous ovens: intensive heating of the steam room, self-cleaning from soot, efficiency, attractive design. Some drawbacks have been fixed: the chimney location has become central, the stove has become stiff, the furnace has been transformed into a fully bent.
The Thermofor Tunguska furnace received positive reviews from consumers due to the advantages of the heating system, which exceed a few disadvantages. A modern and reliable heating unit will last for many years.
