Arrangement and drawing of a brick stove for the house: device, construction technology

The brick kiln is still popular, despite modern solutions. The main advantage is that it breathes. When the brick body is heated, moisture vapors are released into the room, and when cooled, absorbs back. Due to this, the dew point is maintained at the optimal level for humans.

In addition to the positive impact on health, there is another advantage: when calculating the optimum temperature, the value can be reduced to 18 ° C, due to the ideal humidity ratio in the heating season. In brick and wooden houses, the stove saves fuel: 17 °C, a physically healthy person does not feel discomfort. And in a concrete house and at 18 °C, feels chilly.

When heating with water registers, the lower temperature - 22 °C, and when using an INFRARED emitter, electric and gas heater, a degree higher. Therefore, a brick kiln, at efficiency up to 50%, economically more profitable than modern solutions with efficiency 70%. The heating season starts later, ends earlier. For the middle band, this is the difference per week, and in the south to 3.

Materials and devices

Brick

Furnace brick is different from refractory fireclay, in some sources they are confused. They have a common size: construction brick of 250х125х65 mm, standard oven 230x114x40 mm. If you understand, then kiln brick is a quality M150, red. It is suitable for the construction of Russian and Dutch furnaces. With heat resistance in 800 °C of it can be made and stones for the house, but it cools quickly and absorbs little heat, therefore used only for open flames, where no heating is required.

The firebox sections of the furnace with a high thermal regime are made of fireclay bricks: baths, Swedish, cap. Warmth - 1600 °C, that is enough for a home stove. High heat capacity makes it an excellent heat accumulator. But due to these features, the stove is not made entirely of fireclay bricks, otherwise it sharpens quickly and also cools rapidly. On the outside, the masonry should be covered with ceramics, at least, in half-bricks.

Chamotte clay from different deposits has different colors, but it does not affect the characteristics and determine the quality of the product in appearance will not work. The size and designation are no different from the usual.

How to learn a good brick:

  • Fine-grained structure without pores and inclusions.
  • When tapping a brick with a hammer, a good product has a resounding sound, the bad deaf.
  • If you drop a good brick from a height, then it will fall to pieces, and bad, on small pieces and dust.

When laying the internal openings of stoves for the house, well-established clinker brick. It consists of ceramics and inconspicuous appearance shows good heat resistance and strength. Clinker is cheaper than fireclay, but more expensive than red.

Sand

If you expect, to make your oven last 10 years without regular repairs, then in a solution it is necessary to use mountain sand without impurity. Other species contain large amounts of organic matter, which leads to cracking of the seams. Clay sand - ground broken bricks, at a price it is cheaper than mountain, and the quality of masonry is second to none.

Masonry mortars

When laying stoves for the house use clay and sand mortars. White kaolin and fireclay marl are used for fireclay. With ceramic brick - ground clay with refractory qualities (gray or blue Cambrian, gray kaolin). On 100 PC. You need 40 kg of clay.

When buying clay, pay attention to the smell, if you feel it, it speaks of impurities, not suitable for furnace construction. Before laying it is necessary to define fat content, that is, a combination of viscosity and adhesion, for the correct ratio of sand. Clay of one quality, but from different fields, differ in this indicator. To check 1 kg of powder is filled with water to the upper limit and allowed to stand for 24 hours. Shamotna mergel zakisaє for 2 years.

The fermented clay is moistened with water and stirred, to achieve the consistency of a thick dough. The resulting composition is divided into 5 equal parts and each mixed with sand, in different proportions (10%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100% of volume). Then dried 4 years. Sausages with a diameter are made from each sample 1,5 cm, no less 30 cm, rotates around a round object with a diameter 5 see and watch:

  • If the solution has settled without cracks, then it will be suitable for the construction of any furnace.
  • The dry crust broke, small cracks appear - the material is suitable for use.
  • The cracks parted 1 mm - for ovens, whose temperature does not rise above 300°C (country fireplace, barbecue).

  • Hacks, deep cracks, gaps - high sand content, unusable.

Testing of brick sand, to identify the correct ratio, will allow you to save significantly, quality clay is more expensive.

The working solution is made on the same principle:

  • Clay is placed in water for a day.
  • The resulting mass is mixed to the state of the test.
  • A 3x3 mm sieve is used to remove lumps
  • According to the results of the previous batch, add sand.
  • Add water, until the mixture reaches the density of sour cream.
  • The fat content is checked by wetting the trowel.
  • If necessary, add a little clay or sand.

It comes out of the forging of selling clay 4 buckets of solution.

Stoves

Stoves (latches, the door), attached to the furnace with a mustache, which fall on the seams or skirt of steel, wrapped in 5 mm asbestos cord. The first option is the cheapest, but not suitable for the oven, created fireboxes and heat dampers, quickly becomes unusable. And for replacement it is necessary to break a laying, which is bad for the oven.
