Oven stove Stand 57

Oven stove iron POV- 57 is an essential attribute of travel. Such a heating device was developed by Soviet scientists in the 50s of the 20th century. Such undemanding heater will provide a comfortable temperature in tents, barracks and field conditions. Universal oven besides heating the room could be used for heating water, cooking - It was enough to put an aluminum mug, a teapot, a small pot or cans of preserves on top of the housing.

Features of operation

The appearance of such a model does not differ particularly attractive, but the low cost and extreme simplicity and reliability of design ensured its popularity even among the civilian population. Stove capable of providing space heating by quadrature 20 m³ or more in the absence of a central communications.

Scope of this model are:

  • storage, technical, industrial premises
  • railcars
  • greenhouses
  • makeshift, barracks, etc.

It should be noted that the installation and use of stoves in apartment buildings is virtually impossible, because it involves serious difficulties due to the observance of fire safety. If a furnace set illegally, it will entail the imposition of a fine on the fire safety service.

The heating plant is unpretentious and combustible materials. To ensure the warmth and support of fire inside the furnace can be used as wood, coal, and any combustible materials. The equipment is small fuel consumption - one tab enables the combustion chamber warm room to 12 hours, so to maintain the heat in the room to add enough cleaved twice day.

Sheer Army iron stove has a cylindrical shape with the two smaller compartments and doors on the front side of the oven dressings 57dlya access to the furnace. The first compartment is intended for loading and combustion fuel, a second - for separating the products of combustion, namely, ash and soot. In the upper part of the housing is located a chimney. The entire structure is steadily stands on four tall metal legs, which allows not to finish building an additional foundation when installing the oven. Overall height of 525mm, 330mm and its diameter, weight - 46kg. In the furnace there is a device which can regulate the amount of air fed to the combustion.

Advantages and disadvantages of furnace dressing 57

Among the advantages of the army stoves can be identified as follows:

  • The compact dimensions allow you to set a model in small spaces, such as in the garage.
  • Sufficient simple installation - to cope with it people without special skills, enough to use punch and a hammer when installing the chimney will need some experience with laying bricks or casting concrete.
  • Slow cooling, due to the high specific heat of iron - the metal longer holds heat and easier dials when re-ignition.
  • The simple design and high-quality metal rise to a long service life.
  • Multifunctionality - the upper housing part is the wall of the combustion chamber, and therefore suitable for cooking.
  • The process of combustion and smoldering lasts up to six hours.
  • Cast iron housing provides fire safety in the correct operation of the furnace.
  • Stand-57 can sink any solid fuel including coal. In principle, burzhujku can be charged with everything that is lit - the model is very undemanding, it is important that the distance from civilized places.

Heating food on stove

The compact, simple design in the assembly of this model mobile and disassembled without problems, transported and installed in a new location.

Weaknesses iron furnace stoves:

  • surface of the oven is very hot, so the user can get burned.
  • Iron fragile enough of a sharp cooling (cold water ingress) may crack. Iron may break even if dropped, so carry this model costs very carefully. Such material is not wrinkled, however with a substantial mechanical action just crack.
  • It is necessary to ensure a flow of air in the heated room as chimney design has no tight seal.
  • If the walls are made of combustible material, the army can not be built into the furnace wall, without preparing fire protection layer in a thickness of two feet on each side of stoves.
  • Oven burn oxygen in the room.
  • Practically maintainable.
  • It is impossible to adjust the operating conditions and the temperature values ​​except Bookmarks solid fuel.
  • The thick walls and high specific weight iron provide substantial weight of the whole structure. This lack of substantial weight as the iron in the furnace is leveled prefabricated models - their much easier to disassemble and transport the disassembled. It is clear that the integrity models are not at the height, so that these models require constant supervision.

Installation army furnace stoves

  • The installation can be operated only in a specially designated place with all the fire safety measures. Usually, it is placed in the corner / the wall for maximum heat input. When setting the distance value to the wall should not be less than one meter. It is also necessary to remove from the heater flammable items and materials.
  • The floor beneath the oven should be equipped with a layer of non-combustible material that protects it from the high temperatures. Plain concrete screed is not suitable, because the constant heat exposure even concrete collapses.
  • In place of the chimney exit to the outside is necessary to provide thermal insulation. Isolate steel chimney pipe is required.

How to rekindle a cast-iron stove burzhujku

  1. Through the top of the door lay on grate Firing up the paper or something flammable.
  2. The next step for paper put finely chop kindling wood and thin. Paper need to ignite when the bottom door is open.
  3. When the paper and the torch will light up on top of them put large pieces of wood.
  4. For wood finished loading close the upper door and the lower reserve ajar. This promotes the formation of traction, which provides a constant flow of combustion air.
  5. This oven should not be left unattended - is required almost constant human presence. Also do not forget about fire safety rules when working with flammable materials!

Despite the emergence of a more spectacular and safe furnaces, stoves are popular today, due to the optimal combination of functionality, undemanding maintenance and acceptable prices. Moreover, now the lineup army furnaces has increased significantly, so that the consumer always has plenty to choose from.

In particular, the popularity of purchased lighter and mobile models of steel, which have a smaller weight - they are maintainable, and technological properties of metal make it possible to create units with attractive design.
