Correctly folded unit will heat capacity and cost, and fuels such as coal, peat or wood are available in nearly every region. How to build an oven with his own hands with the observance of technology - on.
The design of the furnace
Brick oven has several types, depending on the destination: cooking, heating and drying. Each species has its own design features. The bath used heating furnace heater.
The design of a classical universal furnace comprises:
- Foundation. This is the foundation on which the whole structure rests. It must be stable, tough and durable. It is the foundation of brick with cement mortar. Protrude from the base of the main structure should be at least 5 cm each side. laying depth depends on the furnace dimensions and its weight. On average, the foundation for the combined furnace deepens 50-100 cm (depending on the number of floors of the structure).
- array furnaceWhich in turn is composed of a body, the fuel chamber, the ash and the hob. Inside the fuel chamber is laid refractory refractory brick. He holds the heat well and is not destroyed by high temperatures. The most important condition in the brickwork of the furnace is the minimum thickness of the seams.
- Chimney. Chimneys are laid red brick with mortar, and placed directly above the heating unit. In the overlap pipe is insulated from the wooden beams soft asbestos roof structure is protected cuff prevents condensate and entering precipitation into the attic space. The loft pipe and plaster whitewash. This is done not as aesthetic reasons, but for practicality: on a white surface more visible a possible leak. So that the pipe does not leak water, put on its top vent.
The decoration of the brick oven, is generally not needed - if the material is stacked neatly and no defects.
If the bricks is damaged and when laying the series was not observed level furnace and plaster whitewash.
Masonry universal furnace incrementally
Consider the example of a step by step instruction on the combined heating and cooking ovens.
Step 1 - Installation of the base. At the place where the oven is installed, dig a hole corresponding to the depth (from 0.5 to 1 m.), The bottom covered with sand and gravel, install the valve and fill the formwork base cement. When the cement hardens, laid roofing and two series of solid brick.
Step 2. Laying array. According to the scheme contained in the project at home, lay out the design by controlling the operation level. During the installation of the doors as soon as the opportunity to check their opening.
Step 3 - Installation of the chimney. Fireplace ( "warm wall") begins laid out simultaneously with the furnace design. To heat lingered in the house, the chimney must be straight and have a few turns. When the pipe reaches the loft element is laid out vertically or rotated and outwardly displayed.
At the final step is to wait until the solution completely freezes, check the operation of the furnace and finish finish when it is necessary.
