What is an electric tank. Features and characteristics

Take a steaming in a bath or sauna - the procedure is not only pleasant, but also healthy. Having your own sauna or bathhouse on the territory of a private house is the dream of many steam room lovers. An important choice that is to be made during the construction of a home sauna, what a stove is installed. Is it necessary to undergo a complex procedure for constructing a classic furnace on wood or can you facilitate your task by installing a modern electric stove?

Advantages and disadvantages of electric taps

Electric chatting is an electrical model of the furnace that creates steam. It is also called an electric stove for a bath or just a stove. Usually it is a container for stones with a built -in heater. The power of the furnace depends on the number of built -in electric heaters.

The advantages of electric taps in comparison with wood stoves are as follows:

• It is much easier to design and build a steam room without a classic wood stove. Mainly because there is no technically difficult task of designing the chimney. This is especially true if the bath needs to be equipped in one of the rooms of the house or an extension, and not a separate room.
• Do not have to invest a lot of forces in the time -consuming process of harvesting firewood; There is also the need to build a repository for their reserve.
• Electric stoves for paired are much simpler and safer to use. Their designs are designed in such a way as to protect users from random burns as much as possible. They are equipped with thermostats and fuses to prevent overheating.
• Electric cans are compact that will allow them to place them in a small home sauna. For convenience, manufacturers have developed two options for installation - wall and corner.
• If you want to take a steat, you need to take only a couple of easy actions: turn on the stove, set the desired temperature and that's it. It is not required to spend time and effort on the stove span.
• Some manufacturers embed a humidity regulator. Choosing different modes, the steam room will turn into a bathhouse or sauna at will.
• Advanced stove models are equipped with a deferred start. This function allows you to program the switching time so that the sauna is already warming up.
• Models with a tank for heating water are also made. The acquisition of such an instance will save on the purchase and installation of a boiler.
• Often, electric taps are equipped with a control panel. It is either built into the furnace body or mounted in a dressing room.

There is only one significant drawback of electric taps - electricity consumption. Someone else may lack the sound of firewood crackling in the furnace and a characteristic smell of burning wood. For these, samples of bath electric furnaces are provided for these.

Types of electric camber furnaces

Depending on the purpose and functions, the electric tan furnace in the market is presented in the following options:

1. Electric tanks for the sauna (often in a separate category, Finnish electric taps are distinguished).
2. Electric chat for a Russian bath.
3. Electric chat for small saunas.
4. Electric camera with a steam generator.

Models differ not only in functions, but also in and technical characteristics, configuration, materials and design. Together with the stove, it is possible to purchase accessories and additional elements, such as:

• thermal insulation materials,
• ten,
• stones,
• control panel,
• steam generator,
• power cable.

It is better to buy an electric car in specialized stores or large food hypermarkets. However, the choice there is often small. Therefore, the best option is to order an electric tank via the Internet. There are always a variety of options at hand. There is time to slowly study all the technical indicators, materials and characteristics. The most pleasant thing is that having decided on the model is not necessary to buy it at the only proposed price. After all, competing suppliers offer different prices for the same model. And this is another opportunity to save.

In Russia, in a large assortment, electric stoves for saunas and baths of domestic production are presented. There are many imported models, in particular, from Finland and Sweden - world leaders in the electrical market. Prices vary widely: starting from 3,000 p. up to 100,000 p.

Good quality stoves are produced by companies such as:

• Sawo, Harvia, Tulikivi and Helo from Finland,
• russian Ermak, Polytechnic, the INZHCOCenter of the Air Force, Ural Mikma-Term,
• as well as Tylo (Sweden).

An electric tank, whose price is high, will not always be the best option. The choice of a furnace is a process that requires the knowledge of some subtleties, which we will talk about later.

What should be paid attention to when choosing electric caminated furnaces

• It is preferably at the stage of designing the steam room to determine the place of placement of the furnace. For small rooms, a hinged version of the stove is recommended instead of flooring. Or choose a compact corner model. Keep in mind that for the safe use of a wall electric tank, the height of the ceiling should be at least 190 cm.
• Among the various materials of the Kamenka case, it is better to give stainless steel. This is the most economical and durable option.
• If the voltage in the mains is standard, 220 V - the power should not exceed 4.5 kW.
• More powerful stove models require rated voltage in the network of at least 380 V.

• The calculation of the required power is made according to the following formula. If the room is less than 10 m ³, then for each cubic meter of area should account for 1 kW of power. If the room is larger, the coefficient is 0.8 kW per m ³. At the same time, the steam room should be well -insulated, and the ventilation system is installed in accordance with the current building standards.
• The ventilation system, when installing a furnace with a steam generator, should be paid special attention.
• Provide the possibility of creating grounding for installing an electric tank.

Electric tanker for a sauna or a bathhouse

To begin with, we determine the main differences between the bath and the sauna:

1. The temperature in the sauna is higher than in the bath. And humidity, on the contrary, is higher in the bathhouse. Therefore, the sauna, as a rule, is easier for the body, although the wet pairs of the bath is considered more effective for healing.
2. For the sauna, the presence of a pool is mandatory, while in the bath may not be. It is also associated with humidity.
3. In the sauna, unlike the bath, the stones lie openly.
4. Soaked brooms are used only in the bath; In the sauna, they quickly dry out and crumble.

Armed with this knowledge, manufacturers of electric ties released individual models for the sauna, and separate - for the bath. When choosing one of them, keep in mind the following:

1. Sorry for saunas create dry steam, and for baths, respectively, wet. The latter can be additionally equipped with a steam generator.
2. There should be no open fire in the bath. Bath models of electric taps are made with a closed furnace, inside which stones are hot. Both gas electric tanks are produced for the bath, and more traditional - firewood.
3. Stapes with steam are considered less fire hazardous, since dry air can lead to overheating of wooden sheathing. At the same time, modern models of sauna furnaces comply with all fire safety rules as much as possible
4. Finnish electric taps are environmentally friendly, high quality materials and a beautiful design.
5. The stones in electric buffal are selected natural. It is better not to experiment with this so as not to harm health.

A few words about stones for a bath and sauna

1. The stones in electric buffal are selected natural. It is better not to experiment with this so as not to harm health.
2. You should immediately abandon granite and marble, as they are mined in places with an increased radiation background. As a rule, indicators are not significant, but with regular use, radiation is inevitable.
3. Before laying into the furnace, the stones must be washed with water and dried in the air.
4. Small stones should be removed. Of the remaining the largest, we lay the largest to the bottom of the electric firewood.
5. Heating elements (heating elements) should be closed with stones.
6. Then make sure that there are enough stones in the furnace. Otherwise, the steam room will heat up too quickly, which again is poorly said on well-being. However, if there are too many stones, the air circulation between them will slow down, and at the same time the process of warming up the room will be delayed.
7. It is best to make a stove lining from natural stone.                                                                                                                     Stones are sold both packaging and by weight. Price from 8 p. up to 300 p. per kilogram. The most common for use in electric tags are such breeds of natural stones as:

• diabase is an ecologically clean rock of black color. One of the most typical stones for saunas and baths, including due to its low cost. Differs in high heat capacity and density, racks to wear, durable and durable;
• halto Serpentinite has excellent heat accumulating properties. It is believed that this breed has a therapeutic effect and is especially useful for people with respiratory tract diseases. Also serpentinitis attracts many with its aesthetic appearance;
• talkhlite is a rock formed from natural minerals. It accumulates well and evenly gives heat. Racks to the effects of high temperatures, has high heat capacity and strength;
• raspberry quartzite is natural, natural stone with quartz mineral composition. It has a characteristic raspberry shade, which gives it special beauty. Environmentally friendly, durable and durable, has low thermal conductivity. It is also believed that it has healing properties.
