Many will be surprised to learn that metal tanks for transporting oil products and liquids are best suited for arranging mobile housing in the Far North. It is they who have been used for more than 40 years to create villages for shift workers, researchers, climbers and the military who work in extreme conditions. Despite the fact that it is difficult to call the barrel a home, so far, the shelter has not been invented warmer, because when the temperature air drops to minus 65 degrees, and the wind rushes at a speed of 60 m / s, then only she.
Life in the harsh climate of the North dictates its own conditions, and a person is trying to create, if not entirely comfortable and presentable housing, then at least warm. Oddly enough it sounds, but it was metal barrels from under petroleum products that became the most reliable and a warm home, with the right arrangement, capable of withstanding severe frosts and powerful gusts wind.
Such a discovery was made back in the Soviet Union, when they were actively exploring the North. Housing adapted to extreme cold in those days, however, as now, was sorely lacking, and there were more than enough empty containers. So the enterprising people began to build houses, because what the industry supplied in the form of boardwalks working trailers with frail insulation in the form of slag or sawdust, could not withstand even 20 degrees frosts.
Naturally, the way it was done on the ground cannot be compared with the models developed by engineers Alexander Nikulchev and Sergey Kamolov. They professionally and competently improved the experience of the northern "diogenes". The "All-metal unified block" designed by them (TsUB, aka TsUBik) made a splash in the construction of service housing. In 1975 g. the first model was produced at the Volokolamsk repair and mechanical plant, and serial production was already launched at the Sokolsk woodworking plant.
Interesting fact: In 1978 g. the improved model TSUB-2M became the basis for the creation of the first mobile residential complex. After testing at the proving ground in extreme conditions, fantastic results were recorded. At a temperature outside the TsUB of -56 degrees, at least +16 was maintained inside the object. Long-term practice has shown that in such dwellings it is warm even with frost up to 65 degrees and gusts of wind over 60 m / s. Such indicators, in combination with the fact that creating cylindrical houses does not require large financial and labor costs, with high reliability and excellent service, household and sanitary conditions for living made them popular models.
TSUBs are equipped with kitchens, hallways, showers, warm floors and comfortable furniture, the interior is finished with natural wood panels. Such characteristics and royal comfort made them the dream of many hard workers, explorers and climbers who had to huddle in trailers frozen through and through. Although they had to wait for a very long time for the TsUBs to become the basis of workers' settlements or research bases.
According to the Novate.ru editors, first of all, improved models were supplied to the army. There they were used as temporary shelter, office space and shelters while deploying troops away. from the main location of the part and settlements or in the northern regions where other housing was unacceptable. For military purposes, all-metal blocks were created, which were completely ready for living. Depending on the purpose and purpose, not only folding shelves, tables and plumbing equipment were equipped, but also special appliances and devices.
Let's try to carefully consider what can fit in a barrel called the CUB, and analyze why exactly a cylindrical metal house has become a real salvation for specialists working and living in extreme conditions. Let's start with the fact that the factory production of a "turnkey residential module" provides the highest uniformity of strength in all directions, durability, streamlining during transportation and stability in gusts of strong wind, as well as the relative comfort.
All these qualities are achieved with the correct calculation and manufacturability of production. In TsUBs, the consumption of material has significantly decreased and it has been possible to minimize the surface of heat radiation (if we compare it with rectangular "wagons"). Thanks to the cylindrical shape, the placement of special heaters around the tank and the creation of another metal shell from the sheet, a real thermos house turned out.
If you look closely at the residential modules themselves, you will not see a huge number of chimneys or electric heaters, and all because no stoves, fireplaces and other things are installed to heat the internal space. They are heated with the help of convectors located in the underground space, since part of the barrel of the barrel allows you to do this unnoticed (that's why it always has a warm floor). And the ventilation system is installed under the ceiling at the top of the cylinder, which helps to organize the regulated supply of outdoor air. As a result of such implementations, all conditions are created to ensure a uniform internal air temperature without the accumulation of condensate with the necessary air ventilation.
Important: The use of an optimal heating system, the correct calculation of the structure and layers of insulation for an all-metal shell that does not blown by no winds, made it possible to organize comfortable living conditions even in extreme conditions with a temperature drop below 60 degrees. And if we consider that each central control center has a built-in container with water and a heater, which provide both cold, and hot water, and also allow you to install showers and flush toilets, then we can assume that life succeeded.
If we add to the housing and sanitary conditions that TSUBiki can be transported by any type of transport and even by helicopters, then it is not it is surprising that to this day they are the main residence of all those whose profession is associated with the development of fossils or the study North.

But these houses also have disadvantages. It turns out that with standard insulation, with the onset of hot days, the metal shell heats up very quickly, and therefore requires shading. In those regions where such drops are found, additional covering shields made of wood (in the form of a roof), straw or reed mats are created. Sometimes tarpaulins are pulled or climbing plants are planted. Although, if the cylindrical blocks were additionally insulated from the outside using mineral wool materials or polyurethane coatings, then there is no need to create shading.
Barrel-shaped structures are actively used in more favorable climatic conditions, although they prefer not to live in them, but to arrange steam rooms, baths or saunas. And how to choose the right option that is suitable for your personal plot, you can find out from the following overview.
