Stove Fire Battery of the Termofor brand: overview, model range, technical characteristics

Wood heating stoves Termofor Fire-battery - long burning stoves

In order for the wood to burn, air is needed. To burn strongly - a lot of air, to smolder slowly - a small air leak. In the Termofor Fire-battery oven, you can adjust the air flow from the maximum during ignition to the minimum in the economical combustion mode by changing the position of the fine adjustment valve and the gate.

Door... The rotary mechanism of the handle reliably fixes the door in the closed position, and the seal ensures reliable pressing of the door to the furnace body. The door has a size of 15-30 cm and opens at an angle of 120 °, which allows you to conveniently load the stove with wood to the very top.
Ash box... A sealed ash box is installed in the Fire-battery ovens. When switching to an economical combustion mode, it slides into the ash pan and "snaps" behind the ledge. A seal on the front wall of the ash drawer ensures its tightness.
Fine adjustment valve... Located under the firebox door. A fine adjustment valve is necessary to supply air to the furnace during long-term burning, when both the door and the ash drawer are tightly closed. Adjustment of the valve position is stepless and allows you to choose any combustion mode - from intensive to complete damping of the furnace.
Shiber... A damper is a damper in the chimney outlet for regulating the draft in the chimney. Its free rotation is excluded by the fixed positions of the handle. Even in a completely closed position, the chimney is not completely blocked by the gate, it remains possible to create a minimum draft.

Unit features

Before buying a stove, you need to study its differences from other heating equipment.

Design

The exterior design is laconic, which is suitable for the design of any room. The all-welded metal body is finished in a temperature-resistant dark gray powder paint. The flap is extended vertically for the convenience of unfolding the fuel. At the bottom of the combustion chamber there is a metal sheet that prevents burnout. For additional tightness, the contour of the door and ash pan is decorated with a heat-resistant cord.

Heat flow

The ribs produce soft heat radiation rather than hot heat. In comparison with modifications without shielding, the whole room is heated, and not just the heating zone. Infrared and thermal radiation are in equal proportions, so the air near the stove does not burn the skin. Welded slotted convectors on the casing contribute to the uniform distribution of heated air masses through longitudinal cuts.

Firebox volume

The firebox is the same for the entire Teplofor product line - 35 liters. The dimensions of the opening are 15x30 cm, which is enough for firewood from 30 to 35 cm in length.

Combustion intensity control

Due to the tightness of the ash pan and flap, air leaks practically do not occur. To adjust the intensity of combustion, a gate under the door and an ash pan are used. The combustion rate can be reduced by shutting off the chimney gate. The thrust is reduced, and the intensity of combustion is reduced.

In the closed position of the slide gate, a gap of 25% of the chimney diameter remains, this is sufficient for high-quality removal of carbon monoxide gases.

Chimney outlet

Models with side and top flue outlet

Fire-Battery is characterized by two types of chimney direction - upper and lower. The user should pay attention to the following points:

The pipe is brought up. Condensation and soot particles get inside the firebox.When they burn out, a plug is formed, which is removed only after disassembling and cleaning the chimney.
The pipe is brought down. Lift up is carried out using a tee with a condensate collection tank at the bottom. Preventive cleaning is carried out through the outlet.

To normalize the draft, the cross-section of the chimney must be equal to the outlet or slightly increased.

Fuel chamber protection

The stove has been in operation for an average of 5-7 years. At the end of this period, the furnace may burn out. Replaceable protective plates extend the life of the unit. Owners will need to bend the clamps with a screwdriver, put in a new sheet of metal and bend the elements back.

Oven Fire-battery = Oven Fire-battery

Heating stove Fire-battery is also a stove for cooking. Even if the electricity is turned off, the Termofor Fire-battery oven will warm you, feed and give you something to drink. On the upper surface of the firebox there is a cast-iron burner with two rings of different diameters for dishes of different sizes. Even through this window, you can add firewood to the firebox and clean the top of the stove from soot.

Note! There are no cast iron burners in the Fire-Battery Light models. The upper surface of the Fire-Battery Light ovens can be used only for heating food (read about the Fire-Battery Light ovens below).

Fire-battery with water circuit

The presence of the letter "B" in the name of the Fire-battery furnace modification (for example, the Fire-battery furnace 9B) means the presence of a heat exchanger tank inside the firebox of the furnace. It is designed to heat domestic water. The heat exchanger itself has a small volume - 1.3 liters, but is capable of heating water in an attached remote tank with a volume of up to 100 liters. For this, the remote tank and the heat exchanger must be connected with pipes; nozzles for connecting the water heating system protrude on the rear wall of the furnace (external thread G3 / 4). The principle of operation of the tank-heat exchanger is based on the physical properties of hot water to rise, and cold water to fall. Thus, having created an opportunity for the circulation of water in the heating system, the water in the remote tank is gradually heated, and you have the opportunity to wash or wash with hot water.

The article "All About Heat Exchangers" tells in detail about the nuances, dimensions and precautions when installing a water heating system using a heat exchanger built into the furnace.

Ease of installation and operation of heating furnaces Termofor Fire-battery

Cooking and heating water with a heating stove is, of course, good, you say. - But first it must be installed, then heated every day, and also periodically cleaned. We did everything to make it easy and convenient!

The universal chimney outlet allows the chimney to be led out both up and back. Note! The Fire-Battery Light stoves (see below) have only one version of the chimney outlet - upward.
Large vertically oriented firebox door allows convenient filling of the stove with wood to the very top.
A spacious firebox allows you to fill the stove with the maximum amount of wood for long-term continuous burning.
The door has a translucent screen made of SCHOTT ROBAX heat-resistant glass. It doesn't just give the oven a sophisticated look. It is convenient to control the combustion process through this window. Self-cleaning glass.
The well-thought-out geometry of the firebox eliminates the accumulation of unburned fuel, which is gradually poured onto the grate under the action of gravity.
Replaceable protection protects the firebox from burning out in the place of accumulation of hot coals. If necessary, the protection can be easily changed to a new one at home.
To remove ash from the ash drawer, you do not need to turn the drawer over, you just need to tilt it like a scoop with garbage. Easy and convenient!

Furnace Termofor Fire-battery LITE

"Any whim for your money" - this is how they say in our time. But if you are not a capricious blonde, you can save on those heating stove amenities that you do not need. The structure and design have been simplified as much as possible while leaving a beautiful heating stove equipped with a large sealed firebox and a high door; the oven, which is distinguished by excellent heating technology and fine regulation of combustion, provides the ability to heat water and heat food. The cast-iron burners and the rotary chimney outlet, glazing and the convector on the door were removed. The replaceable protection of the firebox from burning out was still left - let the Fire-battery stove last longer.

Thus, all the technical characteristics on the Fire-battery Light model can be viewed in the table above. And here is another small table for comparing prices:

Water circuit connection. Pros, cons, unexpected opportunities.
Good day!
As I wrote above, the factory scenario for using the built-in heat exchanger is not for real life. It is difficult, dangerous, expensive, imposes a lot of restrictions, and when used periodically in winter, it is basically unusable due to the danger of defrosting the system. He also pointed out other disadvantages.In addition, the presence of a heat exchanger forces the oven itself to be cleaned at least twice a week. Due to the fact that its wall warms up only slightly above the temperature of the water in it, combustion products intensively condense on it and quickly tar it up. The gaps between the side walls and the heat exchanger body are overgrown with resin, and it is necessary to pick it out from there. Although, this is uncritical, you can not pay attention, the heat transfer will simply worsen.
So is this very heat exchanger needed? I will answer: I bought the first OB5B out of curiosity, the second OB7B quite consciously!
Now a little lyrical digression. There are jokes about our habit of starting to read instructions only when something has already gone wrong. But with a long burning stove, jokes aside. It is absolutely necessary to read and strictly follow the factory instructions. It contains all the necessary drawings, dimensions, as well as warnings about the dangers of certain wrong our actions. I will refer to it. However, those who write the instructions have another goal: to describe all possible restrictions in order to minimize the likelihood of warranty claims. I sometimes ignore the requirements of the instructions, for example, the following: installation should be performed only by certified personnel from a specialized organization, etc., etc. In my house, all the systems were installed by one person - myself. Therefore, if somewhere below I describe something that contradicts the instructions, take it not as a recommendation, but as actions that may not be worth following after me. That is, I do not advise you to do as I did, but simply report what I did at home and how it works.
Let's get back to the topic. The instruction expressly prohibits “connecting the heating system to the heat exchanger”, “operating the water heating system under pressure other than atmospheric pressure”, as well as pressurizing the heat exchanger and the tank with increased pressure.
We will fulfill this strictly!
The paragraph from the instruction about the fact that "in case of boiling water in the tank, you should add cold water to it", and "do not fill to the top", make sure that it does not overflow, looks to me just like a joke. Here's to you, and the utilization of excess heat!
There is a recommendation to use only clean (as I understand it, in terms of corrosiveness and hardness) water.
For me, this means that an open system is possible with an expansion tank breathing into the atmosphere, filled with an anti-freeze, non-aggressive liquid, with the utilization of excess heat in some kind of heat exchanger, for example, a boiler or radiator. The main thing is that there is no excess pressure anywhere, no stop valves, by closing which, such a pressure could be foolishly created. Well, so that steams
ethylene glycol away from people. That's all, further - a matter of technology. Tomorrow I will post specifics and photos.

Fire Battery - owner reviews

The Termofor company is known for its high-tech products of heating systems with good thermal efficiency. Particularly noteworthy are the series of air heating equipment.

Stove Fire Battery, presented in four basic modifications and several more derivatives in the Light series. Additionally, boilers are offered with the "B" index, indicating the presence of a heat exchanger.

Purpose of furnaces of the Fire Battery series

Solid fuel convection boiler of long burning Termofor Fire Battery, in the basic modification, is designed for air heating of the room.

The numerical value after the name indicates the number of side convector ribs, resembling a radiator in appearance. Additionally, there is a cooking space for heating and cooking food. Basic version models are made with glass with a self-cleaning surface.

Furnaces with the "B" index, with a water circuit, have a built-in heat exchanger. The capacity is not enough for full-fledged heating of the house, but for additional heating of a separate room with an area of 5-8 m², there will be enough heat transfer from the circuit.

The possibility of using it for hot water heating is limited. Really satisfy the needs for hot water supply for 1-2 people. For this, a special external hot water tank is installed. During the operation of the stove, the liquid heats up quickly. The principle of indirect heating is used, so the water inside the tank does not boil.

Air-heating stoves with a water tank of the "B" series can theoretically be used for a bath, although this product line of the company is not specifically intended for this purpose. To heat a dressing room or a washing room, you can connect water heating radiators. The power of the oven will be enough to connect 1-2 batteries.

Light series, promoted as an anti-crisis option. The price difference between heat generators is approximately 2 thousand rubles. The cost reduction became possible due to the fact that in the Light series the hob and glass insert in the door of the combustion chamber are removed. Otherwise, the characteristics of the Light oven remained the same.

Regardless of the model chosen, the principle of long burning is used. Firewood is burned in gas generation mode.

Modes of operation

The main operating mode of the furnace is smoldering. However, it can burn like a potbelly stove. Such a need arises during firing up, when the device starts up. Fire The battery should warm up well. For this, until the traction is stabilized, all doors are opened, including the blower. As soon as the oven reaches its working values, all doors are closed. The gate is moved to the closed position. The equipment is in the smoldering mode.

Thus, the room is quickly warmed up, and then the heating is maintained. This is very convenient for heating a house in the country.

Types of stoves brand Fire Battery

If you count, the Termofor plant produces about 12 different modifications in the Fire Battery series. To facilitate the choice, all ovens are divided among themselves according to several criteria:

The basic modification is hot water boilers equipped with a glass insert for the fire door and a hob.
Light series - stoves without additional functionality.
Index "B" - a model with a built-in heat exchanger.

In each series, there are three modifications, which makes it possible to choose the best suitable stove.

Fire Battery 5

Heating stove Fire Battery 5, designed for small spaces. The maximum heated area is not more than 60 m². In the design, traditionally for this series, a slotted convector is provided.

The volume of the firebox is only 35 liters. The maximum length of logs is no more than 30-35 cm. In the long burning mode, the stove will work for about 6 hours.

Fire Battery 7

Wood burning stove Fire Battery 7, equipped with seven convection fins on each side of the body. It features an enlarged combustion chamber, compared to the previous version, with a capacity of 47 liters. The maximum length of logs is 35 cm.

Fuel is loaded through the firebox door or after removing the cast-iron cooking rings located on the upper horizontal surface of the furnace. The ash box is sealed, you can clean it while the furnace is burning without fear of smoke entering the room.

Fire Battery 9

Oven Fire Battery 9, has several features:

Nine slotted convection fins, on each side.
Possibility of choice of color - ovens are offered, painted in a traditional shade - anthracite, modern - chocolate or metallic.
Productivity is 13 kW.
The loading chamber holds 62 liters, which is enough for full heating of a residential building of 120-130 m² for 6-8 hours.

In the Fire Battery B series, in the basic configuration, a remote stainless steel water tank is provided. The heat exchanger capacity is sufficient to provide hot water supply or to connect 1-2 heating radiators.

Fire Battery 11

Metal stove Fire Battery 11, the most powerful in the series, can heat a living space of 150-160 m². The design is distinguished by an elongated combustion chamber that looks like a vault.

The door is designed to freely fill the entire firebox with wood from top to bottom. It is possible to add fuel during combustion through the hob, if it is provided in the selected model. The weight of the stove without taking into account the mass of firewood, 72 kg

Furnace cost

The price of the Fire Battery oven depends on the selected index and the presence or absence of additional functionality:

OB 5 - the basic model, will cost 14 thousand rubles, a series with a heat exchanger at 16 thousand rubles. The Lite version will cost 12 thousand rubles.
OB 7 - a lightweight oven in the Light series, it will cost 14 thousand rubles, the standard version is 16 thousand rubles. The presence of a built-in heat exchanger increases the price up to 18 thousand rubles.
OB 9 - a standard stove, offered for 18 thousand rubles. Enveloped version, for 16 thousand rubles. A series with a heat exchanger will cost 20 thousand rubles.
OB 11 - a stove without a hob and a glass insert on the door costs 18 thousand rubles. For a model with standard equipment, you will have to pay 20 thousand rubles. The presence of a heat exchanger increases the price up to 22 thousand rubles.

To calculate the cost of installing the oven, add 10-30% of the costs required for the installation to the price declared by the manufacturer.

Scope of operation

The Light model without a burner is used for heating sheds, garages, greenhouses

Heating devices, depending on the capacity, are suitable for country houses, country cottages, workshops and small production halls. Models with a built-in heat exchanger can be connected to a DHW system and hot water heating. The manufacturer's instructions contain information on the observance of safety rules:

the heater is not installed near explosive objects and products;
it is impossible to ignite the unit with kerosene and gasoline;
it is necessary to alternate the regime of intense combustion with smoldering;
it is forbidden to leave the working stove overnight.

The water jacket is built into the heating system using 1-2 radiators.

How to heat the stove

When deciding which type of fuel to use for the furnace, the Fire Battery series, you should contact the manufacturer himself for explanations. Detailed instructions are provided in the instruction manual. In particular, it states:

The main type of fuel is wood. The use of coal is strictly prohibited. It is better to use solid wood (oak, beech, acacia) with a relative humidity of no more than 20-25%.
The length of the firewood - the combustion chamber is designed for loading logs no more than 30-35 cm. When stacking, take into account that it is necessary to leave a sufficient gap to close the door.
Additional type of fuel - it is allowed to heat with wood derivatives. You can use pellets, briquettes, sawdust, wood chips, provided that their moisture content is within the limits specified in the instructions.

Correctly selected fuel makes it easier to ignite the stove and reduces the amount of smoke produced.

Benefits and cons

If the furnace burns out, unusable parts can be replaced

Heating devices "Teplofor" of the Fire-Battery series have many advantages:

accurate execution of the body - welded seams are not visible;
the uniqueness of the heat flow - a person feels warmth, not heat;
the ability to install in any room;
the presence of a screening effect - IR heat fluxes;
efficiency indicator in intensive mode is 76%, with prolonged burning - 87%;
special design of the furnace - below there is a container for collecting ash;
combustion rate control - two types of dampers are used (for oxygen supply and smoke exhaust);
quick replacement of a faulty combustion chamber;
the presence of cast iron grates for complete burning out of firewood.

The disadvantages of furnace equipment include:

the formation of soot on the glass sash when laying damp firewood;
smoke access to the room if the pipe height of 5 m is not observed;
accumulation of ash and condensate on the walls of the chimney without thermal protection;
the need for water in models with a heat exchanger.

The fire-resistant glass of the door is self-cleaning when exposed to fire.

How to install the boiler correctly Fire Battery

Stoves for home on wood burning long burning Fire Battery, have convection channels running along the sides of the stove, serving as a kind of screen that protects against the hard radiation of steel. Despite this, the housing gets very hot, which, under certain conditions, can cause a fire.

When installing the stove, in addition, the peculiarities of its work are taken into account. The stove works like an air heater using natural air convection. When installing and choosing a location, take this feature into account. Best placement guide, gives detailed instruction manual.

Where is the best place to place the oven

Metal heating stoves on solid fuels of long burning Fire Battery, refer to heating equipment of the convection type. For normal operation and uniform heating of the room, it is necessary that there are no obstacles in the path of convective flows. Optimal placement of the stove boiler, in the center of the heated room, which is not always possible.

For this reason, it is best to place the stove against the wall, approximately in the middle of the room. Do not place furniture and other objects nearby that could interfere with the normal circulation of heated air.

Don't worry about the stove ruining the design of your home. Air-heating interior wood-burning heating and cooking stove Termofor Fire Battery, is distinguished by a beautiful appearance and modern design.

Unlike other models by Termofor, air ducts cannot be connected to the heater. The stove will only heat up the room in which it is installed. If necessary, you can connect 1-2 heating radiators (the function is provided for models of the B series) and warm up a small adjacent room.

Which chimney to choose

At the stage of connecting to the chimney, up to 80% of all errors are allowed that affect the further operation of the Fire Battery stove. The choice and method of installing a chimney should be taken seriously.

The work is performed following the following guidelines:

The choice of material - for long burning mode, the traction characteristics are critical. Lack of intensity of smoke removal leads to the accumulation of resin and accelerated overgrowth of the pipe. For connection, an insulated stainless steel chimney, such as a sandwich, is suitable, as well as a ceramic analogue.
Insulation and safety rules - the temperature of the smoke in the chimney at the exit from the furnace reaches 450-550 ° C. The gate heats up to a bright crimson color. When passing through floor slabs and roofs, it is imperative to make a fire cut filled with non-combustible insulation.

Both internal and external chimneys should be assembled from insulated sandwich pipes. The advantage is fast assembly and stable traction.

The minimum height of the chimney is at least 5 m. The chimney is raised, regardless of the level of the roof relative to the ground.

Fire safety during installation

During the heating, the body of the stove and chimneys become very hot, which can cause a fire.Fire safety rules relating to all solid fuel units prescribe the mandatory implementation of the following recommendations:

Installing the stove on wooden floors - a protective layer of brickwork (flat brick) is made. The pillow is obtained with a height of up to 10 cm. Brick thermal insulation during the installation of the stove ensures maximum safety. In rooms with concrete floors as a base, ceramic tiles are allowed. If the stove is not insulated from the wooden floor, the likelihood of a fire increases several times.
Installation of a ceiling cut - either a ready-made module, sold in specialized stores, complete with a chimney, or a self-made structure is installed. The latter is made in the form of a box 50 * 50 cm, filled with mineral or basalt insulation.

The walls around the furnace are protected with a steel sheet with a heat-insulating layer underneath. Possible facing with ceramic tiles. The distance from the walls when installed in a wooden house is not less than 120 cm. After the walls are insulated and protected from fire with a steel sheet, the gap is reduced to 50-60 cm.

Fire Battery - owner reviews about ovens

You can find a variety of reviews about Fire Battery ovens. Some owners are unhappy with the purchase and point to several reasons:

Self-cleaning glass cannot be cleaned.
When the door is opened, smoke enters the room.
Rapid overgrowth of the internal lumen of the chimney.

At the same time, comparing Breneran, Buleryan or Fire Battery among themselves, buyers often pay attention that the first models do not have such problems. What are the complaints about and is it really that bad?

What is good about a wood stove

Heating stove Termofor Fire Battery, in fact, is characterized by thermal efficiency, reliability and performance. The following advantages are noted:

Large dimensions of the door - the dimensions are sufficient for laying firewood for the entire volume of the fuel chamber.
Burning time - the stove works in an autonomous mode for 6-8 hours. At the same time, the room with the area specified in the documentation is fully heated.
The presence of additional functionality - Fire battery, this is a heating stove with a cooking function. On top of the body there is a single hob made of cast iron, which is well and quickly heated to the required temperature in the mode of normal and long burning.
Cast iron grate in the furnace - ensures that there is no undercooling. Distributes air flows evenly in the combustion chamber. Does not deform or burn out over time.
The service life of the furnace is the estimated operating time, 5-8 years. For the first year of service, a factory warranty applies.

The high efficiency of the furnace is ensured through the use of the gas generation mode. Feature - high heat transfer and rapid warming up of the heated room.

What is the battery used for? Requirements

The "Fire-battery 7", which has numerous reviews, is an air heater that carries out the function of heating and heat exchange in a room in an accelerated mode and for a long period of time. So, with a full laying of firewood in the stove, their combustion is up to 16 hours, and with a partial one - up to 9 hours.

In order for the oven to work for the stated period of time, the following requirements must be strictly adhered to:

The use of dry firewood. This is one of the key conditions on the part of the manufacturer. The use of just such a fuel leads to a maximum reduction in the number of wet droplets on the walls and the build-up of soot. However, pellets can also be used for firing up.
Bringing to decay during the waking period. At the time of firing up the stove, it is required to keep all dampers open. This is necessary for a strong supply of fire with the use of oxygen. In the process of equalizing the thrust, the dampers gradually close, and the fire gradually turns into the smoldering mode.This process must occur while the owners are awake to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning or fire. Smoldering should take up most of the time with a significant amount of wood burning out.
Choosing a room for installing the oven. The latest generation heater is absolutely unsuitable for residential premises. However, as evidenced by reviews, the fire battery 7 fits perfectly into the conditions of temporary residence. It warms up housing faster than other types of products.
Using the hotplate. When purchasing a stove, you should be aware of one more of its features. The heater is equipped with a hotplate. Its work is carried out only during the warming up period: you can boil a kettle or cook food. When smoldering, its presence becomes useless: the burner is only able to keep the water heated. In addition, you should also know such a nuance as the absence of a brewing circle in the "Fire-battery 7 light" version: it is not provided there.
The presence of smoke. The oven does not generate smoke when in good working order. If available, it is recommended to check the cleanliness of the flue and the correct installation of the heater.
