What stones are suitable for filling in bannuyu oven that was hot, park and secure.

Despite the presence of a bath or a shower, a bath does not lose popularity and are an attribute of suburban life. The effectiveness of the bath procedures depends not only on the structural elements flat and heating equipment parameters, but also on the "quality" of the pair. Therefore, for those who like to warm up the important question of filling for the heater, and FORUMHOUSE have specialists who can help choose the "right" stone for the bath.

introduction

Stones for sauna - is both a heat accumulator and steam, they accumulate heat by direct or indirect contact with fire and pass it to the pair that allows you to warm up the room faster and longer to keep working temperature.

To maintain optimum humidity stones water is supplied instantaneously converts to steam.

The stones can be placed on the outside of the furnace, in open (latticework basket) or a closed box with three sides, but may be within the furnace. There combined variants - the inner, closed stove from the water supply device and the steam outlet, and outdoor, where rock mass loading. Number of stones varies depending on the structural elements and the furnace capacity, and this can be tens of kilograms of steam, and perhaps one hundred.

Stone filling must meet several requirements:

• increased thermal stability;
• high heat capacity;
• security.

For many matters and aesthetic aspect to the stones looked beautiful, the other is more important to get a "tasty" steam formed a special breed, but at least the stones should withstand strong heat and keep warm as long as possible. With respect to security: filling should not be radioactive and give off noxious substances or tiny particles, and does not "explode" flight of the fragments. And this is possible if the rock fill, in principle is not designed for strong heating. The network and various specialized resources wealth of information, as well as in brochures distributed by trading companies, but it is often contradictory.

In order to facilitate all interested task of choosing the stones for filling one of the participants of the portal opened appropriate branch, but it currently contains 104 pages, and the time for painstaking study is not at all. Below we set out the main recommendations of Default and others who are connected in the development threads specialists.

workshop onjadestone

Of Education jadestone petrologist (the study of rocks), successfully works in the supply of stones for the sauna stoves for many years; experience, allowing to give advice, it is quite enough.

jadestone (User FORUMHOUSE):

I already had experience in this format, and I understood that the competent information on this topic is sufficient demand. For this reason, I decided to create here a profile subject and, if possible, in an accessible form to answer some common questions with regards to the stones for baths and saunas.

In view of the characteristics of the heaters are suitable for two types of rocks - igneous and metamorphic rocks, as meeting the requirements, although igneous rocks are used more often. Specifically: olivine diabase, gabbro-diabase, gabbro, quartzite, dunite, peridotite, pyroxenite, jade, jade, basalt, basaltic porphyry.

As for the soapstone, the controversy over its use does not cease, one is completely satisfied, others are totally against its use in stoves. The mineral composition of the stone - is preferably talc and chlorite in different proportions, which determines its performance. Main talc property - go into a powder by mechanical action; fluctuations caused by heating and cooling, in time for it and relate.

Therefore, on the surface of the stones in the backfill will produce a characteristic "dusty" plaque at the vaporization passeth all over the room. Chlorite also has a lamellar structure and in a heater minute particles of stone-like mica, talcum are together exposed to the air.

In addition, talkohlorit when heated gradually becomes porous and fragile, which significantly shortens the filling service. But this stone has a good vaporization.

jadestone:

Most quality steam and heat gives talkohlorit soft high and low talc - chlorite naturally and suspended from such stones smaller.

However, the sale of the stones of this quality are rare, mostly they go to the lining of furnaces and under the guise of bath stone allowed waste and nekonditsiyu. Therefore, if there is no confidence in the supplier, not worth the risk, the recommendations previously washed and ignited tab significant improvements will not bring.

But fellow soapstone - Talkomagnezit, perfect for filling instead of chlorite in the composition of the refractory magnesite, perfectly withstand the high temperatures without degradation. But here was not without its disadvantages - it is a rare breed in nature, that the selling companies.

When the most important criterion when choosing a price is not the issue, experts recommend jade stone with an optimal combination of physical characteristics and decoration. This refractory stone (but not intended for direct contact with the flame) with high thermal capacity, which is due to the composition and structure capable of producing a special steam. It is not about getting rid of all complex diseases, as promised by marketers, but a certain effect actually observed.

jadestone:

I have property of jade, which can speak with confidence, based not on speculation but on perceptions of different people, parivshihsya at different times and in different places. Jade has a pronounced tonic effect. The man that this action on itself, never change on the jadeite any other stone if finances allow it.

And topikstarter in this opinion is not alone.

NickB (User FORUMHOUSE):

I, while jadeite did not tried it, too, thought that much of a difference there is, and what makes sense to buy stones at exorbitant price. Then I try and see what the difference is significant. From jade other couples can not be compared even with gabbro, although with stainless steel or cast iron. How to explain, I do not know, but it is not a self-suggestion, there are some physical and chemical roots of this phenomenon. And does it make sense to pay for filling in the stove even as much as she should stove, everyone decides for himself.

Some users of the portal, for which the price is still important, wondered whether it makes sense to combine the filling, for example - 40 kg and 20 kg diabase top jadeite. Or is it a waste, and there is no difference compared to backfill entirely of diabase.

Just a passerby (FORUMHOUSE User):

It will be, and a very large, diabase in the morning cooled and jadeite hot - hand can not be kept. And when soared, other couples, most notably the early days when I was a stone, the price is justified. Stone, one might say, the eternal, but jadeite jade discord, if the crystals are not brilliant, it is not necessary to spend money.

If not finance even part of jadeite, is fine and gabbro or the like, although life has less, and will require periodic updating of stoneware.

jadestone:

Gabbro - this is a very good option for a bath! Both from the point of physical properties, and by the aesthetics. It is a pity that the sale of this breed is significantly less than the same gabbro-diabase. Personally, I would prefer gabbro, especially when there is the opportunity to regularly replenish backfill.

Regardless of the type of rock is important fraction and arrangement of stones, Jadestone advises fill the main the volume of medium and small stone, mixed with a small number of large to increase the density backfill.

The largest stones are placed in the water supply area - they warm up more and not so cool after steam production, therefore they are able to generate heat for a long time, even if the oven is no longer is enclosed.
