How and what to properly heat a Buleryan stove: types of fuel, operating instructions and combustion rules

From the author: Hello, dear readers! The Buleryan gas generator stove is one of the wonderful devices that can give warmth to a home in the absence of a heating system. This equipment was created by Canadian craftsmen and was originally intended for lumberjacks who spent a lot of time in the forest and needed heating.

Over time, the device migrated to residential buildings. It heats the premises using hot air that comes from the firebox through several pipes. Naturally, in order for the result to meet your expectations, you need to know how to properly heat a Buleryan stove.

In this matter, every nuance is important. For example, the wrong choice of fuel can negatively affect the efficiency of the stove and even its durability. Let's take a closer look at exactly what approach you should take with this interesting device to get the most out of it.

What is a Buleryan stove

History says that the device was developed by technologists, and it was intended for mobile teams of lumberjacks. The Buleryan stove is a convection-type solid fuel device for autonomous heating. The Bulerjan stove is produced in Germany. There is also a Russian analogue - the Breneran oven. There is no functional difference, their structure is identical. There are variations of the stove with a hob for cooking, which makes it even more comfortable for home use. The device is suitable for heating residential private houses, bathhouses, and garages.

Device

The wide, sealed firebox door has a blower (throttle) to regulate power. The chamber has curved walls in which batteries of pipes are placed at 2/3 of the diameter (pipes can be round or square). This Buleryan device provides high heat transfer in smoldering mode. At the bottom of the firebox there is a tray in the form of a grate made of cast iron or steel. The upper partition has holes.

The space above the upper partition is an afterburning chamber in smoldering mode. Flue gases from this cavity exit into the horizontal zone of the chimney - the hog. The chimney for buleryan has a damper; it is installed where the pipes turn upward. This smoke choke can control the combustion mode. The fumes always fly out through the pipe and do not enter the room due to the fact that the throttle and damper are not able to block the draft.

The heater economizer is located above the damper. This vertical section has good thermal insulation and is intended for combustion of flue gases. In the economizer, the gas flares up and forms a plug - the intensity of the flame in the firebox subsides. When the plug cools down and slips through, the combustion intensifies again. The presence of an economizer increases the efficiency of the stove to 80%; without it, this figure does not exceed 65%. Using diagrams and drawings, you can make a stove from a cylinder yourself.

Principle of operation

The stove can operate in two modes: kindling and gasification. The operating principle of Buleryan depends directly on the mode. In the first mode, the stove quickly heats up to maximum temperature with a minimum amount of fuel. The room is heated quickly, because the stove is capable of producing 4 cubic meters of hot air per minute. In the gasification mode, the air warms up evenly, and the solid fuel smolderes. In this case, the maximum amount of fuel is added, and the damper is closed to a minimum. In this mode, the oven can operate for up to 12 hours.

Models

Buleryan heating stoves are produced by different factories in different countries. There is a plant in Ukraine. They produce heating “Bullers” and sauna stoves; there are also heat accumulators compatible with some models.

Ukrainian version. "Bullers"

The technical characteristics of Buleryan convection ovens from this manufacturer are summarized in the table.

Thermal accumulators are used mostly in greenhouses, where there are almost no walls that accumulate heat in conventional buildings. The hinged panels are made of painted steel plates and completely follow the shape of the stove, so each modification has its own heat accumulator. The device is hung on the tops of the heat exchange pipes and rests on their lower ends. They can be filled with any solid heat-intensive material: broken brick, large crushed stone, pebbles, etc.

Buleryan with water circuit

The presented unit can be used for water heating, then the heat exchanger will contain liquid, not air. The Buleryan boiler has the same efficiency as gas heating devices. The Buleryan stove with a water circuit is relevant in dachas and industrial premises. Main features of aqua-buleryan:

1. The surface of the stove with a water circuit does not heat up very much, so it can be installed in a small room.
2. The boiler can be used provided there is natural circulation of the coolant.
3. For most models, a concrete base-stand is made for installation.
4. Inside the casing there is a combustion chamber. The pipes containing the liquid fit tightly around the chamber, which results in rapid heating.

Principle of operation

The oven operates based on one of the laws of physics. According to him, hot steam rushes up, and cold steam goes down. As a result, even small units equipped with a water jacket can heat about 50 cubic meters of air.

At the same time, Buleryan does not heat up, as a result of which the burnout of oxygen in the room is eliminated. Such a boiler, according to experts, is economical, since its use reduces fuel costs.

This advantage is achieved due to the presence of an afterburning chamber in the furnace design. It burns all the gas generated during the combustion process. The casing in such a unit serves as a heat exchanger. Inside it there are at least 6 pipes adjacent to the ceiling chamber, which ensures better water-based heat transfer.

Advantages and disadvantages

• The air warms up quickly and is distributed through air ducts.
• The room warms up evenly.
• Ease of operation and installation, minimal fuel consumption.
• High efficiency of furnaces.
• The oven can operate at full capacity for up to 12 hours.
• The oven body heats up less than other types of ovens.

• An insulated pipe is required.
• Fire safety requirements complicate the location. There must be at least 1 meter from the body to the wall.
• Condensation from soot, water and tar forms on the pipes. When burning, an unpleasant odor enters the room.

The advantages and disadvantages of Buleryan indicate that an effective device needs to be monitored. Pipes must be cleaned of condensate at least once a year. The placement features of a convection type oven will not cause any particular difficulties during installation. Thanks to the fast heating of the room and the low price, many are ready to buy a Buleryan stove. The Canadian stove is an inexpensive option and fits into any interior.

Installation

The recommended distance of the stove from the walls is at least a meter

When installing, it is important to take into account the principles of its operation and create conditions for maximum performance and heat transfer. To save on installing a stove in a country house, in a bathhouse or in a wooden house, you can do all the work yourself

1. Fireproof cutting for the chimney is carried out. To do this, a hole is drilled in the wall of a frame house between the posts and it is sheathed with galvanization.
2. After this, the asbestos sheet is laid.
3. It is also necessary to make a support bracket for the chimney using bolts or welding.
4. To install the bracket, be sure to strengthen the wall frame and install a tee on it with a container where the condensate will collect.
5. A protective screen is created on the surface of the wall.
6. The installation of the furnace base must be carried out very responsibly. Thick porcelain tiles are laid out on the wooden floor as the first layer. It is fixed at the edges with ordinary screws. A thin layer of basalt wool and asbestos is laid on top.
7. Next, place a galvanized sheet and secure it with galvanized screws around the perimeter. A low edge around the perimeter prevents ash and wood chips from flying around the room.
8. The oven is connected to the tee through an adapter, which must be placed on a heat-resistant silicone sealant.
9. At the last stage, the chimney is assembled and fixed to the wall using clamps.

How to properly drown Buleryan

The manufacturer recommends using linden or poplar firewood, peat briquettes, cardboard or shavings as fuel. The moisture content of firewood should not exceed 25%. Intense combustion is not a priority operating mode; it is only relevant for quick warming up. At the first stage, the air is heated to 120°C and the room is intensively heated. After the start of smoldering, the body of the structure cools down to 55°C, and air comes out of the batteries at a temperature of up to 70°C. You should not try to increase the combustion temperature with coal or coke; this will not only harm the metal, but will also reduce efficiency.

Heating with Buleryan should be carried out according to the instructions:

1. We light the stove using flammable fuel: cardboard, paper, wood chips. The volume of the bookmark should be enough for 15-20 minutes. The fuel should turn into coals 2-3 minutes before the room is completely warmed up, this requires skill.
2. When burning, you need to close the door, but the throttle and gate remain open.
3. Firewood is laid on the coals until it stops. You can also put whole logs.
4. We set the throttle to the desired position, and the gate must be closed all the way.

The heating system based on a steel, tightly welded Buleryan stove attracts summer residents , owners of private baths and garages with its high efficiency and speed of heating the room.

Visually, the stove looks like a horizontally mounted metal cylinder (furnace part) with a chimney and resembles a regular cast iron stove. At the top and bottom of the firebox there are several rows of pipes that help quickly warm up the room.

The unit works as a gas generator . The fuel burns in the lower chamber, releasing gas that enters the upper chamber, where it finally releases heat.

Thanks to the two-chamber design, the construction of additional tubular convectors on the stove, with the correct selection of fuel, the stove flares up well and the gas released quickly and for a long time provides heat to several rooms at once. You can find out more detailed information about the operating principle and design of the Buleryan stove from the following article.

Below we will look at the basic rules for using the Buleryan stove, the features of kindling and maintaining a fire, and also tell you how to light the stove and how best to do .

Principle of operation

The unit is a hybrid of a conventional stove, boiler and fireplace. The circuit for heating water can be made of separate register pipes located in the firebox or along the walls. Another alternative is that the coolant circulates inside two partitions in the housing; this design is called a “jacket”.

Less often, a water heating tank is placed in the upper part; this is a less effective solution.

Each element is directly connected to the overall space heating system. Due to thermal conductivity, you can warm several rooms at once.

Such devices operate according to the same algorithm, since they are aimed not only at providing housing with heat, but also with hot water supply.

1. The boiler heats the liquid, which flows through pipes using electric pumps.
2. The cooled coolant is returned for further heating.

Description of the furnace design

The firebox of the product is divided into three parts. Cast iron grates are installed at the top and bottom - special grates on which firewood and other fuel are placed, and ash spills down .

In this main part of the structure, fuel is ignited and burned . In a secondary chamber built on top, separated by a sheet of steel with holes, smoldering and post-burning of gases released during combustion in the main block occurs.

The firebox is closed with a door with a lock and a power regulator . A chimney consisting of prefabricated pipes begins with a horizontal part of at least one meter in length. It is brought outside through the wall or ceiling.

You can purchase a Buleryan stove with a water circuit combined with a circulation system, and use such an installation to organize a water heating system .

At the turn of the chimney, a heat exchanger , which ensures the process of post-burning of the resulting gases. For efficient operation of the device, the pipes are well insulated with heat-insulating materials, which also helps reduce unpleasant consequences in the form of condensation .

Combustion adjustment is carried out using the main damper located at the bottom of the door and a gate valve - a valve with a metal plate located at the outlet of the firebox.

Basic rules of use

To avoid unnecessary problems, you should carefully study the operating instructions for the Buleryan stove and follow its recommendations . So:

• For better air circulation a foundation with a height of 20 centimeters ;
• The distance from the outer surfaces of the chimney to the rafters and other roof elements must be at least 10 centimeters ;
• Before lighting, the power regulator is set to the fully open position;
• After intensive heating of the fuel during the first 15 minutes, it is necessary to close the regulator at least halfway;
• It is prohibited to light the stove with flammable liquids and operate it with an open firebox.

Where to buy high-quality oven equipment?

• Prompt delivery throughout Russia. Shipping to remote regions is carried out 1-2 days after payment for the equipment.
• Low prices. We work directly with suppliers, eliminating markups from intermediaries, which allows us to make the best offer on the market.
• Warranty from 2 years.
• Quality control and compliance of equipment with domestic and foreign standards.

To buy a Buleryan stove or get advice, contact the company’s managers by phone or leave a request for a call back.

The manufacturer that produces long-burning stoves, Breneran, has accumulated impressive experience in the production of such equipment. These products have decent demand on the Russian market. The company gives a 2.5 year guarantee for the reliability and safety of its products.

The production company Laotherm has been present on the Russian market since 1993. Previously it produced equipment under the Buleryan brand. Since 2005, the products received a modern brand name - Breneran. This company also produces more budget models - Buran stoves. They are in no way inferior to their predecessor.

Fuel for Buleryan

The reliability and efficiency of depends on the correct :

• First of all, the raw materials for kindling must be well dried . Its humidity should be less than 20 percent ;
• Do not coal or chipboard waste into . Chipboard and its analogues, when burned, release that are harmful to health. Pine and other conifers, during the process of burning and smoldering, release a lot of resin into the air;
• It is best to use dry oak, poplar, aspen and birch pieces, wood or cardboard waste, and peat briquettes;
• Firewood made from ash or hazel is more difficult to melt , but it is less humid and easier to dry;
• Cedar logs are good for a long smoldering process ;
• Expensive beech , which has excellent calorific value, burns quickly and emits a pleasant aroma, is more suitable for bathhouse owners who use the unit only on weekends;
• Dried poplar and birch burns well and will allow you to sleep peacefully at night for six hours without monitoring and adjusting the operation of the stove;
• Alder burns beautifully, emits little smoke, has a pleasant smell, but is more expensive;
• Aspen also does not emit much soot and serves as a good fuel;
• The optimal heating option for Buleryan is charcoal .

Reviews

Although this brand cannot boast of a long history, consumers have managed to fully appreciate the merits of its products. First of all, we are attracted by the simplicity of the stove’s design and its maintainability: the entire unit is made of ordinary structural steel, so it can be repaired in any workshop.

The advantages of Buleryan include its safety: carbon monoxide will go into the pipe in any position of the damper, and the body does not heat up above 65 degrees. As users testify, the air in the room really warms up very quickly.

At the same time, it is impossible not to note a significant drawback of Buleryan: due to the fact that it operates in a low-temperature mode, condensation intensively forms in the chimney, which is extremely toxic. Due to its toxicity, it is not even allowed to be poured into the ground near a vegetable garden or garden. To avoid accidental poisoning, they try to place the vertical part of the chimney only on the outside.

If Buleryan is used in a greenhouse with edible plants, it is operated without an economizer and in full combustion mode. In such conditions, the furnace’s service life is exhausted in a couple of seasons (the walls burn out), but no toxic condensate is formed. But in greenhouses and flower beds the stove can be used as intended by the developer, that is, in smoldering mode and with an economizer.

Some users even use condensate to water flowers, after filtering it first. By the way, Buleryan stoves are often called greenhouse stoves.

How do experts overcome the disadvantages of the furnace?

Experienced users of the Buleryan stove advise :

• Construct a chimney from easily dismountable pipes and direct them against the movement of gas that occurs during combustion and smoldering in the firebox. In this case, the accumulating wood resins will flow down into the firebox and gradually smolder and burn out there, rather than pollute the floor around the stove;
• The stove should be installed at a distance of at least a meter from the wall. With a diameter of more than two meters, flooring on an asbestos cushion is constructed before installing the device
• A brick pipe or a ceramic chimney is better suited for the exit of burnt gases ;
• Once every three months of intensive operation of the device, the chimney is thoroughly cleaned .

The Buleryan stove is a heating device that requires observation and patience to maintain. If you have these qualities, you will be able to master this capricious “device” and it will serve you for a long time and properly.

Buleryan talks about the rules for firing a stove in the following video :

Buleryan is a long-burning stove, one load of firewood is enough for several hours, the fuel smolderes for a long time, which maintains the temperature in the room until the next load of firewood. It is important to learn how to properly heat a boiler. How and what is the best way to heat such a stove is explained in this article.

Brick lining

To increase heat distribution in the steam room, as well as to increase the service life of the stove, a specialist is recommended to create a “protective casing”.
It is not difficult to understand how Brenaren is covered with bricks.

Laying must be done in a checkerboard pattern. To do this, the brick must be soaked in advance. After this, it is shaken, freeing it from excess water, and placed on the cement solution, leveling it with a wooden hammer.

When the installation is completed, the brick walls will need to be dried, leaving the mortar to set for several days. After this, the surface can be finished. At the same time, the first fire must be carried out extremely carefully so as not to overheat the furnace and thereby allow the solution to finally thicken.

Watch the video in which a specialist reveals the secrets of installing a stove and a chimney for it:

General instructions

Buleryan's kindling scheme:

1. Open the chimney gasifier regulator.

2. Open the blower damper.
3. First, lay down wood chips or medium/large-sized firewood, add some crumpled paper/newspaper;

4. Light the wood, check combustion and close the stove door;

5. Check for traction after 15-20 minutes;
6. Approximately every 5 minutes you need to close the damper a little, but you cannot close it completely;

7. Do not move away from the stove while lighting;
8. When the temperature decreases, you can add the next batch of firewood (use only large, dry firewood);

You can also watch detailed video instructions on kindling Buleryan:

After some time of use, you will gain the necessary experience and melting buleryan will become a simple task.

What kind of wood to burn?

Before using the stove, you should figure out how to properly heat Buleryan with wood, because not everyone is suitable for this purpose. Any hardwood firewood is suitable for heating.

It is not recommended to use coniferous varieties ; they quickly clog the chimney. If you heat the stove with apple, pear, cherry, etc., little heat will be released.

Can I use other fuel?

1. Coal. Buleryan stoves come with special operating and fire safety instructions. If you follow these instructions exactly, it is prohibited to heat the stove with coal alone; a large amount of heat from burning coal can melt the metal. You can use brown coal, but only together with firewood. Many sources on the Internet describe many ways to heat Buleryan with coal, but you should not rely on them, these methods may not be safe.
2. Workout. According to the instructions, the waste cannot be used as fuel. Its use will lead to burnout of the pipes and failure of the furnace.
3. Briquettes. Peat briquettes are an ideal type of fuel; they have good heat transfer and do not impair the performance of the stove. Briquettes are difficult to purchase in a store; they are usually ordered on the Internet, but suppliers mainly sell only in large quantities, which is inconvenient for personal use.
4. Sawdust, wood chips and tree bark. Kindling with sawdust, wood chips and tree bark is not prohibited - this is a good way to save money, allowing you to reduce the use of good firewood. In order to use this type of fuel, you must first light the stove with wood, and then add wood waste.
5. Pellets. The method of melting with pellets is similar to that used when melting with sawdust, wood chips and bark. Since pellets are made from wood, they are also suitable for buleryan, but before that a special mesh is installed.

How to properly stack firewood?

First of all, wood chips are laid for kindling. You can set fire using different ignition means. Afterwards the firewood is stacked. The furnace operates in normal mode or in gas generation mode. Continuous operation in normal mode reduces the service life of the boiler. It is important not to use wet firewood, as this will damage the chimney over time.

For a longer service life of the stove, it is necessary to periodically clean it; to do this, it is enough to burn special briquettes if the chimney begins to clog.

How to reduce consumption?

1. Use dry firewood.
2. Clean the chimney regularly.
3. Heat the stove with wood from acacia, oak and aspen - they are the hardest.
4. Insulate the chimney.

Optimal temperature

Before purchasing a Buleryan stove, you need to decide on its size. This affects how much area the boiler can heat. The period between laying firewood is long - 8-12 hours. To always maintain a comfortable temperature, it is enough to periodically add firewood.

The optimal temperature depends on the size, power of the stove and the volume of the firebox. The principle of operation is similar to a conventional potbelly stove, but the efficiency is higher, so the bullerian will quickly warm up a large room.

General fire safety rules

1. Do not add too much firewood.
2. During heating, do not move away from the stove, constantly check for draft.
3. Do not use only coal as fuel, this may cause the metal to melt and spread the fire.
4. Watch the stove closely while it is burning.
5. Clean your chimney regularly.
6. Please read the instructions carefully before use.

Common Operation Problems

The main problem when operating a buleryan is the release of flammable gases, which cannot burn due to the moisture of the wood and are released in the form of condensate. To solve all operational problems, it is enough to use exclusively dry firewood, otherwise the released gases will settle on the surface of the pipes and form growths, leading to blockages.

Why does Buleryan smoke?

Buleryan may smoke due to the fact that there is no draft or the stove has not been serviced for a long time, i.e. the chimney was not cleaned; similar situations occur if the stove was still heated with wet wood. These problems can be eliminated by mechanically cleaning the pipes with a special metal rod or by cleaning with special chemical briquettes. After cleaning the chimney and if there is draft, smoke will not come out.

It can also smoke due to the fact that the damper is completely closed, i.e. there is simply nowhere for the smoke to escape. As stated in the instructions for heating the stove, the damper should not be closed, only slightly closed.

Can't melt it

At the beginning of operation, using Buleryan is a pleasure - it does not take up much space, warms the room well, and saves firewood. But, if over time the stove becomes more and more difficult to light, this means that the chimney may be clogged and needs to be cleaned. There are two ways to clean the stove: mechanical (use a special metal rod to break through the build-up that has formed in the chimney), chemical (heat the stove with special brackets, which remove the blockage during combustion).

When installing a stove, proper installation of external chimney pipes is necessary. If the pipes are installed incorrectly - there are hills nearby (trees or buildings), or the pipe does not rise enough above the roof of the house and the ridge, the smoke will not be able to escape through them, but will go into the room. It is impossible to light the stove under such conditions. Check that the chimney pipes are installed correctly.

Other problems

According to user reviews, the main problems with Buleryan stoves are the emission of smoke into the room and the release of carbon monoxide, which is harmful to health. Other problems may arise due to improper operation, use of wet firewood, or failure of the stove. As stated above, you cannot use coal as fuel to avoid burning the walls of the boiler.

At the beginning of use, smoke will be emitted from the paint, but after a few fires this problem will disappear by itself. In addition, external pipes have to be insulated for better heat transfer.

The Buleryan stove is very convenient and useful if you use it correctly. It does not accumulate heat near itself, but distributes it throughout the room. Such boilers can be used in a home, garage, industrial premises or greenhouse. All the tips presented in the article are most useful for people who use the stove all winter.

When choosing a stove, pay attention to the fact that Buleryan has a number of useful advantages - easy installation, cost-effectiveness, long service life, good heating (it is easy to maintain a comfortable temperature). To heat several rooms at once, it is necessary to lay additional pipes. But don’t forget that the Buleryan stove does not run on coal, only on wood fuel.

Combustion depends on many factors - outside temperature, fuel quality, wood moisture content, chimney height, so there cannot be exact instructions for heating. The main thing is to follow the instructions exactly so as not to harm people in the room and not damage the boiler.

Useful operating tips can be found in user reviews, but do not trust them 100% if they are completely at odds with fire safety rules and do not comply with the instructions.

More articles from the section All about stoves

Everyone is familiar with Buleryan long-burning heating stoves. Having read so many positive reviews about them, I would like to add a little “from myself.” In addition, the heating theme is especially appropriate for the winter season.

The peculiarities of the Brenerans’ work are known to many. Having supported their knowledge about the furnace with positive reviews, our compatriots are happy to purchase this result of engineering. Expecting too much from him.

Chimney

Chimneys can be made of metal pipes with a wall thickness of at least 0.8 mm. The chimney pipe must comply with the parameters indicated in the table for each model and be located above the ridge of the roof of the house. If the roof is flat, the pipe should rise 0.5 m above it.

After installing the stove, make sure that the smoke duct joints are tight and that there is draft. To do this, hold a strip of thin paper or a candle flame to the open firebox door. Their deviation towards the firebox indicates the presence of draft, which must be stable. If you experience smoke coming from these pipes, your chimney is either not the right height or is clogged.

Combustion theory and disadvantages of the Buleryan firebox

If you understand the operation of heating stoves with long-term heat release, the so-called Buleryans (Brenerans). These are simply ordinary, unremarkable potbelly stoves with increased efficiency due to the large heat transfer area. Firewood in Buleryan does not burn, but rather rots, and this process has a lot of disadvantages - more on that later.

At the moment the device is ignited, the wood flares up, warming itself up, it heats the chimney pipe, thereby, as it were, “turning on” the draft in the stove. When wood burns, volatile gases immediately begin to be released. It is these gases that ensure a constant combustion temperature of the firewood in the firebox.

With further combustion, heavy fractions of flammable gases are released. In a good way, these gases should burn in the afterburner. But in practice, due to the humidity of the firewood, there are too many of these gases and they cannot burn, because there is simply no air, and without it there is no combustion. You need to buy dry firewood - this is the first disadvantage.

Many believe that the problem is solved with the help of afterburning tubes, but designers design the furnace so that it saves fuel and does not burn the stacked stack in minutes. This means the tubes are ineffective.

If you do not use dry firewood, then the second disadvantage follows from the first. Rising up the chimney, oily gas fractions adhere to the surface of the pipe. In the cavity of the pipe, drops of condensate flow down and form peculiar growths of tree resin. Which, without burning, freeze and “block” the path of rising exhaust gases until they completely block the chimney. This means the second disadvantage is that the oven often gets clogged.

Kinds

For heating

According to the method of operation, there are two types:

• with water circuit. Perfectly suitable for private homes. The specificity of the operation of furnaces lies in the heating of a liquid (usually water, less often antifreeze) that circulates through the heating system, which warms the house. 90% of the combustion energy goes to heating the liquid and only 10% to the air.

  Water buleryan

• convection type, they heat the air, which is evenly distributed through air ducts throughout the rooms.

  Standard model

Advantages of the Buleryan heating stove:

• large volume heating;
• uniform heating;
• soot and smoke do not enter the room;
• compact size;
• rapid heating;
• efficiency.

With hob

For residential premises, stoves are available with a convenient modification - a cooking surface. The Buleryan stove with a hob is used for the following purposes:

• heating an area up to 150 m2;
• Cooking and heating food, a 6 liter capacity pan boils for 30 minutes.

To achieve heating efficiency, it is recommended to install them in rooms without partitions. The installation point must provide air convection. This Buleryan is just perfect for a dacha.

Model with hob (VESUVI)

Furnace Breneran AOT-6 type 00

Structurally they have a number of features:

• 2-chamber structure - in one, gas generation processes are carried out, in the other, afterburning of the gaseous mixture is carried out.
• Injectors – afterburners are installed in the convection flow channels to increase the efficiency of the equipment.
• 2 operating modes. They function in the form of generating combustible gas and like a conventional furnace. With the second type, food can be cooked on the hob.
• Productivity – the equipment is capable of heating an area of ​​up to 150 m2. The oven will operate for up to 6 hours on one load.
• The working principle is the use of gas generation processes. As a result of combustion, oxidation of the fuel mass occurs - this generates CO. It enters the afterburning chamber, which increases the amount of thermal energy received.
• Heating occurs due to convection - air comes from the room due to pipes located 2/3 in the firebox - this gives rapid heating. Heated air arrives almost instantly.

Buleryan wood-burning cooking and heating stoves are suitable for individual houses, especially when natural gas or electrical energy is unavailable.

We fight the problems of Buleryan stoves

During the first time of use, any smoker is a pleasure. Small sizes. Heats up the room quickly. Convenient door for storing fuel. There is enough firewood for a long time.

But, over time, the stove begins to melt worse and worse, the draft disappears, and the shutter refuses to close. So it's time for the first cleaning.

The first thing that comes to mind is to heat the stove with aspen wood. But their effect is weak. If the stove is clogged, this will no longer help.

Next, it comes to mind to burn the stove with the ash drawer completely open. The pipes must be heated to very high temperatures, literally red hot, for the resin to burn. One of my friends slipped a hose from an oxygen cylinder into the ash pan, and the stove heated up almost to red. But this is a huge risk. Although there was a result.

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about the smoker. But you can get along with capricious heaters.

Practical advice - how to use Buleryan

Guided by experience in use and, moreover, production, I would like to give some recommendations:

• Assemble chimney pipes against the flow of gases, and not along the flow, as the manufacturer advises. This will help keep your flooring safe from the wood resins leaking from every hole in the stove. Then they can return back to the chimney and burn.
• Follow fire safety rules and do not neglect them when organizing a room near the stove.
• Follow the instructions and ensure easy disassembly and assembly of the pipe for easy access when cleaning soot and resins.
• Customize the work of your Buleryan to suit you. Determine the acceptable combustion temperature. Periodically inspect the top of the pipe for resin build-up.
• Select the heating mode that suits you. The longest burning time multiplied by the minimum degree of chimney blockage. The optimal ratio is achieved if you clean the oven twice a season.
• Dry the wood over the stove before putting it inside.

In addition to logs, use briquettes made from wood chips and sawdust as fuel. They will make the stove a little easier to use. They will make the firebox cheaper.

Finally…

The article was written for people who heat Buleryan around the clock in winter. The article will not be useful for weekend summer residents. All my observations and advice are personal opinions and do not claim to be official instructions on how to drown Buleryanchik.

Engineers are constantly introducing something new into heaters. Devices that distribute flammable gases evenly throughout the furnace. The Brenerans also have individual precise adjustment of the wood burning mode.

If there are any innovations in your favorite, be sure to write your comment under the article, I think it will be very useful.

About heating a private house

Okay, the reader may say, but you need to warm up! Yes, but stove heating is used mainly in private households, and there water heating is pure prejudice, a stereotype of “centralized” thinking. For the efficiency of a central thermal power plant, indeed, the heat capacity of the coolant is of paramount importance, otherwise it will cool down before it reaches subscribers.

What about in a private house? What, should we run a line from the kitchen or furnace around the entire area to the living room/bedroom? Isn’t it easier to disperse the warm air through the rooms, which the bubbler gives, as they say, from the top? Judge for yourself:

1. Air ducts can be made with a simple tool from cheap materials: tin, plasterboard, plywood, just cardboard, but pipes are expensive, they need to be bent, boiled, soldered.
2. No registers, expansion tank, fittings, or automation are needed.
3. You can forget about fistulas and leaks once and for all.
4. Ductwork with fans and louvers does not require a design or permit. It is enough to calculate for yourself which section should go into which room.
5. Heat transfer into the walls (and this is up to 15% of heat loss through water) is zero; here the poor thermal conductivity of the air works to our advantage.
6. Install adjustable blinds at the exits - here you have easy, quick temperature control in rooms. It’s better not to compare it with setting up water heating.
7. If you place the exit blinds on the walls farthest from the window above the floor, then the air will give up its heat to the room by the time it gets to where it can heat the street. And everyone knows how batteries in window sills increase the entropy of the Universe.
8. The same technique will also provide a warm floor without any additional costs or work.
9. The walls are straight, there are no deformities in sight - design the interior as you please.
