We are studying Teplodar stoves for baths and saunas. Review and features of a famous manufacturer

It just so happened that since ancient times in Russia, bath procedures have been almost the calling card of the country.

The tradition of taking a steam bath has survived to this day: many owners of country houses initially consider the possibility of installing a bathhouse on their property as something self-evident.

But making a purchase without evaluating the offer - that is, the market, and focusing on the cheapness of stoves of unknown production is not the best idea.

You can consider yourself a fairly experienced manufacturer.

The presence of retail stores, as well as online stores, provides a convenient selection of products, assembled in our country and with controlled quality.

“Rus” is a worthy choice for any bathhouse attendant

This reliable stove with a rectangular firebox has an open heater that can hold up to 105 kg of stones. It is perfect for steam rooms with a volume of 4 to 18 cubic meters. Thanks to the presence of a combined converter casing and high-speed steam generator, a stable balance of temperature and air humidity is achieved, which will appeal to any steam room lover.

In addition, the choice of modifications with an extended or shortened combustion channel, as well as the possibility of installing gas burners, offers many options for its location depending on the characteristics of your bath.

Another feature of this model is the ability to order the design of the door covering the fuel chamber. You can choose from regular steel or heat-resistant glass, which will give the stove the appearance of a fireplace.

Bath stove “Rus Panorama”

This stove model has a fireplace door, which allows you to use it as a fireplace and enjoy the play of flames from the living room. The steam generator consists of several sections, which allows you to achieve the ideal temperature and humidity levels, accurate to the degree and percentage of humidity. The body is made of mirror steel, which gives the stove a beautiful aesthetic appearance. This stove needs to be cleaned 2-3 times a year. This teplodar stove has several modifications that differ in the volume of the room and the weight of the stones.

"Sahara" - a unique model with a steam generator

“Sahara” is a truly unique model in which the manufacturer was able to combine many advantages necessary for a Russian bath. The design of the stove does not have sharp corners, which will undoubtedly appeal to followers of the teachings of Feng Shui, and the two-chamber heater, which allows the stones to be heated simultaneously from 5 sides, will ensure their uniform and rapid heating.

In addition, this model provides the possibility of installing a multi-section steam generator that can “organize” a good steam after just 20 minutes of firing the stove, which can be very useful if you do not have much time allotted for a bath.

Design Features

Scheme of a wood-burning stove "Teplodar" for a bath

It is not for nothing that these stoves have won the hearts of many sauna lovers: they have several features that have a positive effect on their characteristics:

• The main parts of the firebox are made of two to four millimeter sheets of stainless steel containing at least 13% chromium. In areas of greatest load, steel with a 17% alloy metal content is used. This is the only manufacturer in Russia that produces such thick-walled stainless steel stoves.
• The perforated steel convector casing promotes rapid heating of air and stones. But for heating, a minimum of fuel is used.
• The built-in steam generator can produce light steam within half an hour after the stove starts firing. This allows you to create a humidity regime characteristic of a Russian bath (not all models are equipped with it).
• Dispenser taps on the water tank allow you to control the water supply to the heater and control the level of humidity in the room.
• Almost all fuel units can be retrofitted with a gas burner (if there is an extended firebox). This option is convenient if it is possible to connect to the main gas pipeline.
• The average sauna readiness time is 50 minutes.

"Siberia" is an ideal option for Finnish sauna lovers

Reviews of Teplodar stoves

Most often in positive reviews about Teplodar stoves you can find opinions that can be briefly combined on some similar points:

• the units have a reliable and fairly simple design;
• variety of choice of models for different modes of steam baths and saunas;

An example of installing a furnace with an external fuel channel

• quickly heat the steam room and water to the desired temperature;
• long service life and trouble-free operation;
• spectacular appearance of mesh ovens;
• convenient and efficient steam generator;
• there is no need to equip the chimney with additional valves, since the ash pan regulates air access to the firebox;
• the central placement of the chimney suits most: it is easier to make the ceiling cut;
• a decent combination of price and quality when compared with foreign analogues.

Let’s say right away that there are no sharply negative reviews about Teplodar stoves, but there are some disadvantages that are mentioned in them:

• one owner about the low location of the firebox door, and the other about the close location of the chimney to the fuel channel (for this reason it was necessary to take it away from the wall), about steam due to strong air convection;
• there are reviews about asymmetrically installed and offset doors on stoves, low-quality and narrowed chimneys (instead of the promised 115 mm 113 mm);
• There are complaints about heat exchanger registers, which, according to some owners, are unreliable and leak quite quickly, but they are very difficult to repair.

As you can see, the comments are not critical. When deciding on a specific stove model, start with what kind of heater you need - open, closed, or maybe combined? And after that, taking into account the size of the steam room and personal preferences, you can easily determine several suitable options.

"Siberian Cliff" - unique design and maximum efficiency

Possessing a high heating rate, the Siberian Cliff heater is one of the best models representing the design of a mesh stove. The stones for the stove in this modification are located around the firebox in a special forged mesh. This allows the top stones to warm up much better than in other models.

Excellent convection, obtained due to the presence of free space between the fuel channel and the stones, helps to achieve the effect of a Finnish sauna with heating temperatures of up to 140 degrees. Thanks to the large volume of stones, the steam in the room is light and comfortable for the body to perceive. Agree, this will be highly appreciated by ordinary lovers and real gourmets of couples procedures.

A convection-ventilated heater, a built-in steam generator and an unusual appearance will help this model not only decorate your sauna, but also give you maximum pleasure while steaming.

Like the Kuban, the Domna stove is equipped with two heaters, and it has a fairly decent height, which is how it got its name. The temperature of the stones of the internal heater is adjusted using a special door, and liquid is supplied from the water tank through a funnel and dispenser.

In addition to the above, this model has a combined convector, the side walls of which are made of mesh, and the back and front are made of solid metal, which gives it a rather exotic look.

Gas-burning devices can also be installed on the stoves of the Domna model range (with the exception of the modification with a panoramic door near the firebox). Residents of gasified areas will highly appreciate this advantage.

How to heat the Teplodar stove

It is necessary to heat the stove for the first time for at least 1 hour with the windows and doors of the bathhouse open. In this case, the firebox load should be maximum, the heater should be empty, and the water tank should be full. During the first heating, the technological compounds and oils that were used in the production process burn out.

After the oven has cooled down, drain the water from the tank and ventilate the room. After the oven has completely cooled down, you can load the stones into the heater.

During further operation, follow the rules:

• melt using dry small wood chips or birch bark when loading 2/3 of the firebox volume;
• during combustion, place firewood on the grate, and not on the combustion channel (if the modification has an external firebox);
• do not burn construction waste with paint and varnish coating, plastic, rubber and other materials that emit harmful substances;
• after good draft appears and half of the stored fuel has burned out, additionally fill the firebox to 2/3 of the volume and completely open the ash pan;
• after the room has warmed up, cover the ash pan and use 2-3 logs per pad to maintain the temperature: in this mode, the water, stones and air in the bathhouse will “keep” their temperature;
• After completing the bath procedures, you should heat the stove again and dry the room by opening the door and ventilation windows.

Attention! For safety reasons, when throwing in the next batch of firewood, you must first completely close the ash pan, and then carefully open the firebox door.

Heating boilers

Heating boiler Uyut is an excellent option for cottages and small houses

Additionally, the boilers are equipped with automatic power control and control panels that connect to the built-in electric heater.
• "Kupper PRO". Also referred to as universal devices. They are distinguished by a longer burning time - up to eight hours from one bookmark due to an additional door for air flow and a special grate. System automation is possible. The heating element allows you to maintain the temperature of the coolant in the heating circuit if the fuel has decayed. There are modifications for larger houses. "Kupper PRO-42" is capable of heating a room of 420 square meters.

Results

When choosing between buying or making your own, it is better to think about safety than about the money saved. After all, 1-2 thousand in revenue cannot be used to repair a burnt-out ceiling or low heating of the fuel tank.

It’s worth spending money on a factory stove, and you need to do this strictly with the calculation of the usable area for a specific room. It’s also worth remembering about the additional “features” of some models. For example, stoves with converters and different types of heaters are put on sale not to attract customers, but for comfort, service and convenient operation.
