Types, consumption and choice of gas furnace for heating a private home

A gas stove is considered an excellent option for heating a country house. This heating method is especially suitable for people living in villages that already have a main gas pipeline. But the device can be installed in any home without any problems, since it can do its job using bottled gas.

Gas furnaces are practically no different from conventional boilers in design. The main difference lies precisely in the operating principle - the heating device is not connected to the pipeline system. Ultimately, the result is a very convenient heating method to use. If necessary, the living space can be heated very quickly, and there is no risk of freezing of the system with liquid coolant, as when installing a boiler.

Methodology for calculating fuel consumption


Connecting the stove to the cylinder
The amount of gas per month can be calculated using the formula:

Equipment power (kW) x 0.112 (how many cubic meters of gas need to be burned to generate 1 kW), multiply the resulting number by 720 (the number of hours in a month).

For example, for a dacha with an area of ​​70 square meters. meters you need a design with a power of at least 9 kW. It will burn at least 725 cubic meters of gas per month (with round-the-clock operation).

Features of work in winter


Insulating a cabinet for a gas cylinder
It is better to store floor-mounted or wall-mounted gas containers in insulated cabinets during the winter. At the same time, the cylinders themselves cannot be heated or insulated; they can be located inside separate structures with minimal heating. Empty cylinders cannot be stored; full cylinders may be placed at least 10 meters from the nearest residential premises. Before making calculations, you need to take into account that in winter, energy consumption costs increase greatly, and in summer they decrease.

In the fall, it is recommended to pre-stock fuel and assemble a special rack for storing containers outside the house. The rack is insulated and the cylinders are placed in a horizontal position.

You can rearrange the cylinders vertically only after connecting to a single system. This requirement must be observed, because the gas from the inside presses on the walls and affects the upper part. In a horizontal position, the risk of leakage will be minimized.

Basic laws of heating

There are quite a few copies broken as to what kind of heating system should ultimately be considered, if not ideal, then at least approximately optimal. There are many heating systems.

The battles continue. If not user-created, then advertising - every sandpiper sings about its swamp no worse than a nightingale.

It is not easy to thoroughly understand these plot twists and turns. Especially for a person who plunged into the problems of heating engineering temporarily and, partly, forcedly.

Meanwhile, the question is serious - any of the projects is not cheap and is aimed at a long-term user perspective. Therefore, it requires detailed study.

What to do in the oven

First point. Burnt gas produces a higher temperature than wood. Consequently, the internal volume of the converted furnace must be lined with refractory bricks. It is necessary.

Second point. There should not be any closed volumes left inside the furnace where there is a risk of gas accumulation due to possible malfunctions of the gas shut-off, control and supply valves.

To do this, they completely change the operating principle of the furnace - they remove all channels or caps and make the furnace non-revolving, direct-flow. That is, the pipe is placed on the stove (stoves with a bottom pipe connection cannot be altered). And inside, in the path of hot gases, dividers are placed in a checkerboard pattern - small slotted partitions.

Or they resort to variable volume - much like a silencer for a firearm. That is, several horizontal partitions are placed along the path of hot gases. In them, successive moves are made opposite each other. Although, in this case, heat extraction occurs somewhat less successfully.

But it’s worth keeping a similar scheme in mind if for some reason it doesn’t work out with the dividers.

Advantages and disadvantages

Many experts argue about these types of heating devices and the advisability of installing them in a country house. For us, consumers, knowledge of all the positive and negative qualities of such structures is required:

  • By concluding an agreement with the gas service, you do not have to fill the cylinders with fuel yourself, and interruptions in the operation of the heating device are eliminated;
  • in comparison with electricity, the cost of gas is much lower;
  • modern designs allow significant fuel savings while maintaining power and thermal energy productivity;
  • the operation of the equipment can be fully automated and controlled from a mobile phone at a distance;
  • After burning the fuel, only carbon dioxide comes out into the chimney, so there is no need to clean it of soot.

Quite controversial disadvantages include:

  • unlike firewood, fuel will require spending money to purchase it;
  • if you plan to connect to the natural gas main, you will have to spend time and money on coordination, drafting and acceptance of equipment and its connection to the gas network.

Refilling containers with gas


All cylinders are filled to 85% to prevent an explosion.
A gas stove for a building or bathhouse requires timely filling of containers with fuel. Tanks are not filled to more than 85% of the total volume, since gas can expand and break through the walls of the cylinders if they are filled in the cold and immediately brought into a warm room. Gas supplies can be replenished at gas stations or at independent points. Before selecting and pumping a substance, the container is placed on a scale in order to turn off the gas supply in time and prevent an increase in pressure.

Even if refueling is carried out according to the rules, the risk of overflow remains. Small cylinders of 5 liters fill up to 2 kg, large cylinders of 12 liters up to 6 kg. This amount will be enough to heat a house or bathhouse. The pumping occurs at high speed; if the critical level is exceeded, the excess must be pumped out immediately. It is better to refill cylinders in places where there are electronic scales with a cut-off device, which increases the level of safety.

Making a boiler

From all of the above it follows that gas generator-type boilers are considered the most economical and high-quality elements of the heating system.

The main problem in purchasing and using such a boiler is the cost of this product. For example, the simplest model of such a boiler, which is manufactured by domestic companies, costs about $1,000.

If you choose imported manufacturers and improved models of such boilers, the price can increase 5 times. It follows from this that gas generator boilers cannot be called publicly available. But there is a more economical option for purchasing such a boiler. This method is a wood-burning boiler, made with your own hands. To make such a boiler, you need to use special drawings that are developed and posted on the Internet by craftsmen.

Gas-generating boilers developed by folk craftsmen have not only a low manufacturing price, but also other positive aspects. The use of a homemade boiler, manufactured according to ready-made drawings, provides for a significantly longer operating time of the boiler on one load of fuel into the combustion chamber. Due to the fact that in factory boilers, special nozzles are installed under the combustion chamber, through which air is supplied, pumped by forced systems, the combustion process of solid fuel is almost doubled. In addition, the direct dependence of such a boiler on the electrical network ensures that the system operates correctly only when the boiler is connected to the network. Homemade boilers are devoid of such elements, which allows them to work better and longer.

Some homemade boilers are equipped with two solid fuel combustion chambers. This allows the fuel to be burned in a consistent manner. When one chamber lights up, the fire in the other chamber automatically goes out. This helps achieve the highest efficiency with maximum fuel burning time in the boiler. Some design features of homemade boilers make it quite easy to control the process of fuel combustion in the boiler. This is achieved by correctly positioning the grates under the fuel bunker.

Almost all homemade boilers, drawings of which can be easily found on the Internet, burn all contaminated particles, such as essential oils, various resins and alcohol. This became possible due to the fact that in such boilers there is a separate zone of additional combustion. Contaminated air from the combustion chamber enters this zone. It is this air that contains polluted particles that are burned separately. It follows from this that a minimum amount of harmful particles enters the atmosphere, which can enter the heated room through the cracks and pores of the building material.

Solid fuel boiler drawing

A homemade wood-burning boiler is intended not only for the use of wood fuel. In such boilers you can use sawdust, peat briquettes or coal as fuel.

The use of such fuel materials involves the appearance of slag, which must be removed. This is necessary for the combustion process to occur correctly. In order to perform screwing, the boilers are equipped with a special hole under the combustion chamber. It is through this hole that you can insert a poker and destroy the slag crust. This hole is closed with a small door, which blocks the flow of excess air into the combustion chamber.

Drawings of homemade boilers are developed on the basis of finished factory products. The main difference is considered to be the changes made in design and production terms. The positive side of such boilers is the ability to heat a larger amount of air coolant with the same volume of the combustion chamber.

As practice shows, using air as a coolant allows you to create a more comfortable microclimate in a heated room. When using such a coolant, you can heat the air in the room in a short time. In addition, heat losses in such a heating system are minimal. Do not forget about the significant savings in money that must be spent on purchasing a special coolant. In addition, complete tightness of the heating system with air coolant is not necessary.

Safety precautions

To prevent emergency situations, electric heaters, heating elements, heating coaxial cables and other elements are not used for heating. Fuel cylinders are stored only inside separate cabinets, in the upper parts of which holes are made for ventilation. It is recommended to insulate them from the inside on the sides and bottom using polystyrene foam. Cylinders should be filled according to the rules to avoid a possible explosion of equipment at home. After assembly, the heating unit must be checked for possible leaks.

Which oven is better: gas or electric?

Gas models have exactly one advantage over electric ones - they do not need to be connected to the mains. Therefore, they can be used to heat a dacha, a private home - in general, anywhere where there is no centralized power grid. Such devices operate either on gas cylinders or from a gas pipeline. It is not advisable to use a bulky and unsafe gas device in an apartment; it is better to choose an electric convector for it. It has the following features:

  • it's impossible to get burned by it
  • Doesn't consume much electricity when used
  • devices are well protected from moisture
  • electric oven does not dry the air when operating
  • Most models have built-in overheating protection and other types of protection

Now we can conclude that an electric heating device is much more convenient than a gas one.
