Buck in the bath: features, types and proper installation

Since ancient times, bath in Russia was valued much more than just a special place to cleanse the body. It represents a ritual that associated with total relief from excess human mentally and physically. Largely thanks to the bath with a birch broom Russia was famous for beautiful maidens and knights. Tank with hot water, steam bath and heat assisted Slavic be healthy and strong, protects against many diseases, Baudry body and spirit.

Popularity bath treatment does not fall, it only increases every year. And this applies to the whole world. After all, the man who visited the bath absorbs all healing and the healing power of steam and comes out with a great mood and rejuvenated.

What room without normal hot water? And in order to heat it, it is not necessary boiler, as there is an oven and a full-fledged fire in the stove. Well water will be heated by a special heat exchanger.

However, you must first determine what kind of tank for the bath will be better: external, internal or on the pipe from which it is made of the material. In general, how exactly he should be to the point of use in the bath it is not exactly necessary to change to another of any vessel.

You can, of course, to find furnace for the bath already with a tank, but what do you do when the furnace is, but special tanks for heating - no? In this case, you can find special bins for the bath on the market, or make them yourself by applying for this is quite normal welding machine.

Buck built, external tank or on the tube?

Air tanks are of different kinds. The most famous - is embedded, remote and on the tube. For each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Compare and evaluate - what is right for your bath.

Tank-esteem, which is built into the furnace

Once upon a time water tanks to the baths is always built into the oven - so that the entire lower part of the boiler was at the top of the furnace - the hottest. The bottom of the tank in this case is in contact with stove fire directly. Water from this vessel can either derive directly or through a special built-in output tap.

External bath tub: the advantages and disadvantages

Thanks to the excellent opportunity to establish a special heat exchanger in the furnace vessel to a certain place, you can not bind - it is quite possible to install even in the wash. According to all known laws of physics, cold water will sink into the heat exchanger, well, hot climb back.

Bath tank to the pipe

Of course, it happens sometimes that the bath used was not a couple of hours, a whole day - for example, when washed, but the time has passed after the furnace. Then the best option - a bath tub on the pipe where the water is to be heated to the required temperature. This trumpet through which exits the kiln smoke - and its temperature can reach 500 degrees. Such tanks can be quite overall, since the heating pipe area is very high, and the water to warm up evenly and quickly.

There is also another advantage of such a design - in the bath of smoke leaking through a crack in the pipe is absolutely impossible, because the tank in this case is a full fuse.

Steel, cast iron or stainless steel?

From building material, from which was made the tank depends very much - and the longevity of the tank, and the rate of heating and cooling of water in it.

Cast iron: hot water all day

It has long been in the bath tub made entirely of heavy cast iron - the water in it was heated for a long time, and it took quite a lot of firewood, but hot water was until the evening and could wash all day long the whole family. In addition, iron is not afraid of no high temperatures or corrosion. But its biggest drawback, of course, obvious.

Tanks for baths made of stainless steel: durable and lightweight

However, today more and more popular is the tank of stainless steel baths. it is not necessary to isolate moisture, its thermal conductivity is excellent, and the rate of deformation of it due to the very sharp temperature fluctuation is very small and does not go any comparison with black qualities metals.

The best marks for these tanks - 08X17 (430) and 8-12X18H10 (304), which apply also to create dishes. They are completely resistant to temperatures transcendent, completely hygienic and do not lend themselves to warp or corrode.

Such tanks are made to the bath from the thin and strong stainless steel sheet, which are installed for supplying water special ball valves. Caring for these tanks is extremely simple. So if you just do not want to spend on caring for water tanks in the bath time, safely choose this kind.

Enameled pots - fit when properly handled

Enameled tanks completely save you from unpleasant rust. Their only drawback - the possible chips, which can lead to corrosion. The truth is they can always deal with special heat-resistant paint - if the tank itself in the oven will not be inserted.

heating scheme from the furnace or heating element?

Cheaper whether the oven to heat to preheat the water or in this respect is much more efficient heater depends only on how many people in the future will be simultaneously bathe in the bath, and how quickly it will be necessary for hot water washing. For example, for one person is enough capacity of about 50 l, and for the whole company - not less than 70 liters.

The ability to quickly warm up the tank also depends on its walls - the thicker they are, the longer it will be heated and will also weigh more. In the tank for a bath volume of 50 liters - is 0.8-1 mm, have a marker - the walls are thinner 1.5mm definitely not happen.

How to install the water tank right?

So how do you properly install the tank in the bath? If the water in the washer will go from the tap, under pressure, we need a closed water system. The most ideal option for this is considered to be an oven with the coil inside the tank is connected to it. Nevertheless, it is possible to implement, and the following method: the tank is suspended on the oven itself. Suitable for this simple design is about 50-120 liters, which is not difficult to cook on their own. The best option - a tank somewhere in the 80 liters of a special non-galvanized iron, which can be purchased in any specialized hardware store if the same market.

Properly connected will look like a bath tub in the bath as follows: Water is heated in a register and rises in the tank, where gradually cools and soon falls down in the register. In this way, there is circulation, and to some it better, to make withdrawals from the best The return - although it is not very convenient, because in this case, have to wait until the tank is normal warms up. But water can be used as soon as an oven heated. However, more thought out and effectively, if thought the ability to switch a complete withdrawal of water from forward to the return - it is much more convenient. In case if the entrance and exit to the tank bottom to perform, then the circulation will be somewhat slower.

The sequence of operations performed

• The tank is mounted in the steam room, it was under the shelves, pipes connected to heater coil.
• At stable circulation tank upper outlet connected to an upper coil tap, well and the bottom - with a bottom. Withdrawal of hot water will go to the top and bottom will go cold.
• At the cold water inlet mounted safety and backflow preventer - it is also called an explosives.
• Set pressure of automatic action shooter.

To work all this construction will be as follows: filled tank will be heated through the coil, the consumption of warm water it will automatically be filled through a supply of cold water. As the heating of cold water, if it has not yet used, this pressure will continue to grow, and when it reaches its critical point automatically triggered blaster, which will reset all the pressure.

If done correctly, the hot water in the bath, then it will be in an amount as is necessary - and under the pressure under which it will be convenient to wash after the sauna.

Finally must remember that the main thing for the installation and use of the tank - it is to comply with all aspects of an installation as described in the instructions for the tank. In addition, the need to adhere to safety measures for the creation of an independent tank. When following operating bath tub you will be perfect for a long time.
