The appearance of the flame of a burning home for all time has a decorative component of coziness and well-being. Therefore, people pay special attention to the framing of burning logs in furnace furnaces or fireplaces. But the charm and warmth of a high-efficiency stove-fireplace should be supported by a right and reasonable choice of design.

What a cottage without a fireplace
It is noted that the private house will become a real cosiness if a fireplace or heat storage oven is installed. Any heat-storage furnace is the best microclimate in the winter and the decoration of the house.
Naturally, in order to choose a model of a fireplace oven, it is necessary to focus on the characteristics of the room, namely the foundation and the presence of overlap. Certainly, fireplace ovens, photos of which can be viewed for hours on the Internet, are designed for any consumer:
• ovens-fireplaces with ovens
• Fireplace stoves
• Models created on individual orders.
But each fireplace type fireplace is a proven technology, installation by experienced craftsmen and attractive design.
Criteria for choosing a fireplace oven
The choice of the heat storage storage fireplace furnace must be carried out according to the following criteria:
• Material for facing the oven
• The volume and location of the combustion chamber
• type of passage of the fuel route and air supply method.
European manufacturers of heating equipment have a hot season. It is necessary to solve the problem of increasing the heat-storage properties of fireplace stoves, eliminating the increase in equipment capacity. It is known that a traditional fireplace, equipped with a closed firebox, produces and radiates heat from the flame through the glass.
The fireplace quickly heats the room, but as the firewood burns through the firebox, the heat dissipation quickly stops. In the stoves of heat-storing fireplaces, the time interval between laying firewood and maintaining the heating temperature is increased. Accumulation of energy is carried out by the transfer of heat to the material with which the fireplace is lined. In addition, in the process of accumulation, a casing is involved.
The fireplace placed in the casing of such a fireplace is also heat-insulated, and the accumulated heat safely follows the path of heated circulating air. A successful combination of a closed fireplace insert and a heat-insulating cladding of factory production results in a good result. For example, the fireplace ovens of the German company Schmid, equipped with massive lining, evenly give heat to the room for 4 hours.
But the Finnish fireplace ovens are of particular interest. The scheme of air supply to the furnace provides not only pyrolysis of wood, but also high-temperature combustion of gases.
Correct application and use of the properties of the crystalline structure of the facing talclorite and talcomagnesite allows the thermal energy to be oriented in the furnace type of the fireplace type.
Finnish heat storage tanks - fireplaces are able to maintain the temperature for a long period of time (up to 36 hours).
Naturally, a bright future and a happy old age, at the Finnish furnaces, are provided.
Finnish fireplace oven Tulikivi can be confidently called the best.
tulikivi fire stone
The secret of stoves and fireplaces of Scandinavians lies in the material from which the foci are collected. The principle of operation of fireplace stoves is similar to the principle of the Russian oven, when heating occurs due to convection and radiation due to the impressive mass and the accumulation of heat.
But compared to the traditional brick or tile stove in the fireplace furnace, the Tulikivi fire stone - talcochlorite and talcomagnesite is involved. The mineral has tremendous heat-accumulating properties, does not contain harmful impurities, and there is no radiation background.
Recall that the main characteristics of soapstone are:
• Specific heat - 0.98 Kj / Kg ° C
• thermal conductivity is 2 times higher than that of brick (6 W / MK)
• coefficient of thermal expansion - 0,001% / ° C.
In addition, the unique whirlpool furnace, patented by the Finnish manufacturer, reduces emissions to a minimum.
How to choose a heat-storage oven-fireplace
Thus, based on the main characteristics of the lining material, it is advisable to select the heat storage-furnaces-fireplaces taking into account the heat engineering parameters. Recall that these are the parameters:
• heat-transfer time from 20 to 48 hours
• Estimated area of heated premises
• energy intensity, efficiency, chimney class and its location, amount of firewood.
According to the heat engineering characteristics, the furnaces - the accumulating fireplaces can be conditionally divided into several types:
• Furnaces for a small heated area (heat-release time up to 22 hours, heated area from 20 to 75 sq.m. with an energy capacity of up to 58 kW / h and an efficiency of up to 80% with the amount of firewood used is 16-18 kg).
• furnaces designed for a significant heated area from 40 to 100 square meters, with a heat-transfer time of up to 32 hours, an energy intensity of 77 kW / h and an efficiency of 83%, firewood consumption of up to 22 kg for a single furnace).
Light models of interior fireplaces can be installed directly on the foundation slab on the floor. The foundation is equipped on all sides of the fireplace, thus eliminating the possibility of sparks and ignition.
In addition, after the installation of the heat storage furnace is completed, it is recommended that the base of the structure maintains its weight.
Naturally, in addition to thermal and operational characteristics, it is necessary to take into account the overall dimensions of the fireplace stove, the overall design and the appearance of the door.
Interior design with heat accumulating fireplace
An old Finnish proverb says: "Laita ensin tupaan ja laita uuni, ja sitten tuo vaimo", which means: "First put the hut and fold the oven, and then bring the wife." Having dealt with the heat engineering characteristics of the selection of the stoves of the fireplaces, it's time to try to inscribe the fireplace in the interior of a private house.
In this case, it does not hurt to remember that any stove is a weighty construction (in some models the weight can reach 2 tons). Therefore, the location of the furnace must be thought through. In the collections of manufacturers there are foci that can be placed near the walls, in a corner, in a wall opening with the possibility of heating two rooms.
In addition, an important role in the interior will play the overall dimensions of the furnace and the presence of a foundation.
The shape of the heat-storage furnaces is complemented by different versions of the heating doors. This can be a straight, panoramic or bay window doors.
The advantage of the rounded form of the furnace and the bay window is the ability to observe the burning hearth simultaneously from both sides. Scandinavian severity and restraint is seen in almost all models of fireplaces.
Unlike classical fireplaces equipped with a superstructure or cornice, the laconic elegance of the Fiery Stone is the main decoration of a private house.
