Many people love to admire the flames and dream of a fireplace in their home. But it would be doubly pleasant if, in addition to creating a cozy atmosphere, he also heated the room. Theoretically, there is nothing complicated in this — it is enough to combine the stove and fireplace in one structure. But in practice, everything is not so simple, tk. each of them has its own principle of operation. For what purpose do people decide to buy a fireplace Kiev? In order to maintain an intense combustion process. For this, the fireplace is equipped with a wide firebox and a straight chimney. The stove, on the other hand, must accumulate heat for a long time and heat the room even after the flame has gone out. To this end, it is equipped with a polysyllabic chimney, passing through which, the heated air gives off all the heat to the air in the room..
A device such as a metal fireplace stove combines a potbelly stove and a traditional fireplace. It has a wider firebox than a standard stove and a straight chimney like a fireplace. The firebox is necessarily equipped with a glass door. To increase the efficiency, a special casing is installed around the unit, in which heated air is circulated.
Some manufacturers equip the fireplace stove with a system for regulating the air supply to the firebox. This allows you to control the intensity of combustion. You can make it so that one bookmark of firewood will last for 5-8 hours, however, in this case, their smoldering will most likely occur and there will be practically no flame.
These units are mainly made of steel and cast iron. These metals have the best heat dissipation. Despite the lack of the possibility of special restructuring, these ovens still have a distinctive design. Individual design is achieved by changing and decorating elements such as the chimney, outer casing, firebox doors and handles. Also available in a wide range of colors.
The fireplace stove has several advantages:
ease of installation;
light weight, so you do not need to create an additional foundation;
compactness;
rapid heating and quick heat release 10-15 minutes after the start of combustion.
Of course, this unit cannot be compared with a classical stove in terms of the heated power. It is not possible to heat several rooms with a fireplace stove.
