Fireplace with water circuit

The original function of the fireplace was always limited to heating the room. But the first fireplaces were so big that theircould not be placed in any house. Over time, the design and dimensions of the fireplaces changed. As a result, soon the open fireplaces turned into fireboxes of closed type, which made it possible to use them in any room. But at the moment designers often pay attention not only to the functionality of this or that element of the interior, but also its decorative qualities. Agree that the boiler looks not so beautiful, as a fireplace. It is for this reason that fireplaces with a water circuit have become very popular.

A stove with a water circuit is an ordinary solid fuel boiler. But that this boiler fits well withinterior, its lower part made like a fireplace. The main distinguishing feature of this fireplace is that it can serve as the main source of warm water and heating the house, as well as an alternative to other heating systems.

What is a thermal fireplace? The principle of a fireplace stove is the basis for the operation of a fireplace. If the fireplace oven simply heats the roomdue to its size, the thermo-fireplace makes heating of the whole house due to its capacity and the possibility of connection to the heating system. Further all the work is done by the water circuit.

You should know, how does the fireplace with a water circuit. All walls of the fireplace are made of thick steelfrom 4 to 6 mm. The thermo fireplace has double walls, the space between which is 4 cm. It is in this space that there is a water circuit, which is completely filled with water.

In order to install a thermal fireplace, Your heating system must meet all the requirements for heating the room with a solid fuel boiler But all the same it is necessary to consider, that at you should beopen type heating system: the presence of another tank into which heated water flows from the water circuit of the fireplace. But it is possible to use a thermowaste in a closed heating system. In this case, the water immediately flows into the heating system. Depending on your requirements for the fireplace, you can use open, closed or mixed systems. The combination of open and closed systems gives the most optimal result, but this option is only possible with a heat exchanger.

With the device of a thermo-fireplace and its work everything is clear. But all the same it is necessary to talk more about that, how to choose a fireplace. Most often, buyers are interested in the price, andit is from its size that people often repulse when choosing a fireplace. But in fact, very few people are delving into the real criteria for choosing a thermo-fireplace: thermal power, work in the non-heating season and the strength of the elements.

Strength of fireplace elements - this is not the most important criterion. Any thermo-fireplace is made of thick, strong steel, the seams are well welded. But always pay attention when choosing a fireplace with a water circuit for the strength of certain elements. Be sure to pay attention to the slide gate system, ash collector and the handle on the fireplace door.

Nominal heat output of the fireplace, which he passes to the water, is the most importantcriterion of choice. But the fact is that in the technical passport manufacturers specify the nominal power of combustion, and not the transfer of heat to water. Thus, all customers will receive less from 1.5 to 5 kW during the fireplace fire.

It often happens that I want to flooda fireplace on cold autumn days or in the spring, when the heating season has already ended or not started, but the weather is cold outside. In this case, you will have to disappoint. Most fireplaces are not adapted to work during the non-heating season.
