The Varavara Kamenka stove is a sauna stove with a grid for stones around the body. Designed for medium sized steam rooms - 12-24m3. The weight of stones placed in the basket is 180 kg. The stones are recommended only of volcanic origin, because they do not contain harmful impurities, are not afraid of fire and withstand reusable temperature drops.

Sauna stove "Varvara Kamenka"

Varvara Kamenka Mini is a smaller version of the previous model for small steam rooms up to 16m3. The basket can hold up to 85 kg of stones.

Sauna stove "Varvara Kamenka Mini". Small size - big power

The Varvara Palenitsa stove has a number of modifications and can be equipped with:

A stainless steel heat exchanger with a thickness of 1 mm, a volume of 3 liters, nozzles ¾ inches.
Hinged tank for 55 liters, installed in special pockets on the right or left walls.
A tank on a pipe, in which water is simultaneously heated from a heat exchanger installed in the furnace. The stainless steel tank also serves as a passage through the ceiling. This system requires plumbing and a pump. It is possible to take the steam out of the tank to the street, so that the humid and "heavy" steam does not spoil the atmosphere in the bath. This tank can be 60 or 120 liters.

Stove "Varvara Polenitsa"

The Palenitsa stove is designed for steam rooms from 12 m3 to 24 m3, dimensions 685 * 430 * 840mm. It is very similar in appearance to this model "Varvara Classic", but it does not have water tanks and is slightly higher and narrower (890 * 430 * 670mm).

Sauna stove "Varvara Skazka" (reviews correspond to the name). The stove is lined with polished soapstone slabs, which gives it solidity. Stones can fit up to 95kg, the steam room can be heated with a volume of 12m3 to 24m3.

The Varvara Skazka stove is faced with soapstone slabs

"Varvara Mini" is a small (735 * 390 * 620mm), but very efficient stove that heats a steam room 12 m3 to 16 m3. It can be equipped with a hinged tank, a heat exchanger, it is possible to install a panoramic door. Large panoramic glass makes it possible to control the combustion process. It is also very pleasant after the steam room, comfortably sitting opposite, to enjoy the game of fiery tongues. A wonderful way to relax!

Stove "Varvara Mini" compact sauna stove for small steam rooms

"Varvara" in the reviews is characterized as economical, compact. Maintenance is reduced to periodic cleaning of the pipe and the afterburner (there is a special door on the back wall). But there are also disadvantages: the presence of condensation on the pipe when installing a large tank on the pipe.

The presence of condensation is due to the fact that when leaving the afterburner, the smoke already has a not very high temperature, which, in the presence of cold water in the tank, causes moisture condensation on the walls. According to the reviews of the owners of such furnaces, the products of combustion of gases are mixed with moisture, which does not improve the situation. This is the only negative point, no other shortcomings were noticed.

The mass of even the largest "Varvara" oven is small, and therefore the installation is simple.The manufacturer advises to pre-heat it on the street so that the paint polymerizes and the smell from the combustion of various technological substances and lubricants used in production is gone.

To close the top of the stove, you can lay a thick wire mesh with a small cell on the erected screen, and put stones for the bath on it. In such a simple way, you close the hard radiation from the stove and get well-heated stones.

If you wish, you can close the pipe with a brick, but due to the high heat transfer, the temperature of the pipe is not the highest and the radiation from it is not very intense. Therefore, it is laid in half a brick, but the foundation is not laid.

The manufacturer has designed several different models of ovens, each with its own characteristics and adapted to specific working conditions.

Depending on the selected components, the cost of the unit changes.

The advantage of the furnaces is the light weight of the structure.

The demand and prevalence of the furnaces of this company is due to a large number of advantages:

the possibility of additional equipment;
in comparison with analogues, acceptable cost;
ease of use;
low weight of structures;
ease of installation work;
maintainability.

There are also disadvantages that you need to carefully read before buying.

The installation of the stove involves lining it with finishing materials. Neglecting this requirement will adversely affect the thermophysical properties of the equipment.
Slow heating of the water in the tank.
The design is equipped with an afterburner, which indicates a long combustion process. In turn, this leads to the formation and accumulation of condensate inside the chimney.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with: How old can you go to the bathhouse

Each potential buyer will be able to choose the right model for their needs.

The main disadvantage is the large weight of the brick, combined with the weight of the furnace itself.

Brick oven models have an attractive appearance. Advantages of the units:

Increased heat capacity of the equipment. Bricks accumulate the received heat, and gradually give it away as it cools.
The space in which such equipment is installed is filled with dry heat, such characteristics are characteristic of steam rooms only in Russian baths.
A design that differs from analogues, especially if you use decorative stone instead of ordinary brick.

The main disadvantage of the modifications is the large weight of the brick, which, in combination with the weight of the unit itself, forces the owner of the living space to build a new stove foundation.

Let's consider the main models of wood-burning stoves "Varvara".

These are fast heating stoves that keep the room warm for quite a long time. The walls and the upper part of the stove are faced with natural stone (soapstone). The screen is made of heat-resistant glass, so you can admire the fire.

The difference between these ovens is the stone container. In "Fairy Tale" it is presented open, and "Terma Fairy Tale" has a closed reservoir with a lid. These types of stoves heat up a room with a volume of no more than 24 m². Construction weight up to 200 kg. Mini-ovens of these models heat rooms with a volume of no more than 12 m².

Technical characteristics of the Skazka furnace:

dimensions - 780 mm x 560 mm x 780 mm;
power - 12 kW;
construction weight - 105 kg;
fuel - firewood;
the size of the firebox is 66 cm;
weight of stones - 95 kg;

"Mini-Kamenka" with an extended combustion chamber.

Mini oven

Due to its compact dimensions, it is installed in small steam rooms.

There are several types of mini ovens:

mini-stove without a contour;
hanging oven;
oven with a circuit.

The mini-design is equipped with a heat exchanger, which is designed to heat water in a tank (volume up to 50 liters). The heat exchanger is located at a certain distance from the stove.

Long service life. The stove is made only of high quality materials, as a result, the structure does not burn out, and the appearance of the system does not lose its original appearance.
Rapid warming up of the room.
Safety.

Buyers also publish negative reviews about the Varvara oven:

Slow heating of the liquid in the tank. To solve this problem, you need to install a heat exchanger on the chimney, which allows quick heating of the water. The main thing is that the liquid does not boil, you need to constantly monitor this.
It is not recommended to heat the stove with birch wood, because this will lead to cracking of the body in the future.

Advantages and disadvantages of "Barbara"

One of the important advantages of the "Varvara" sauna stoves is that they do not weigh at all a lot: the stove itself is 100 kg and, in addition, there is a pipe to it. Absolutely any bath floor will pull such a weight, and therefore you do not need a particularly powerful foundation for the oven - sometimes you can do with just good insulation.

When buying, the stove can be equipped with a glass door, a mirror cover, a water tank and even a shortened firebox. The location of the tank can also be different: top, side and bottom, or even without it, if a water heater is already installed in the bath.

And what is just wonderful is that the “Varvara” sauna stove has a round hole with a plug on the back wall - especially for cleaning. And the place that needs to be cleaned near this stove can be easily seen with the naked eye: we look inside the firebox and see in its upper part a welded sheet of metal (it is also called a "smoke tooth") - this is where all the settled soot accumulates. Yes, the Varvara stove requires maintenance - twice a year to clean the pipe and the afterburner. That's all the trouble!

Read more about how to clean the chimney from soot in the article.

Sometimes these stoves are not favored due to the fact that the water in the tank heats up longer than in conventional stoves. But the solution to this problem is simple: we install an additional heat exchanger on the chimney, and in an hour the water will be about 70 ° C, which is quite enough. True, after three hours it may start to boil - you will have to monitor this.

Another common problem that owners of the Varvara sauna stove often encounter is condensate flowing down the pipe. This happens if the chimney was assembled "by smoke". The thing is that the "Varvara" is a furnace with an afterburner, and it works mainly in a slow burning mode. Therefore, the temperature at the outlet of the chimney turns out to be small, and the condensate is formed quite generously, and even with impurities. That is why it is so important to install the Varvara according to the correct scheme - you can see it in the step-by-step photo below. And the pipe itself should not be made 1.2 meters, but passing through the entire tank is longer by as much as half a meter. So the condensate will drain clean and will not come into contact with the stove smoke.

It is also undesirable to heat this stove with birch wood - there were cases when the seams of the stove simply diverged.

General characteristics and design features

The stoves for the "Varvara" bathhouse produced today are the result of a deep study of the experience of making stoves abroad and in our country. We took into account the positive and negative aspects that were found in the analysis of our own products and the best world samples. The furnace design has been improved.

First, they removed 3.5 meters of welds, which are the weakest point in any oven.Structures that were previously welded are now one-piece bent with a minimum of seams. Secondly, the casing is made of stainless mirror steel, the firebox is made of carbon sheet with a sheet thickness of up to 6 mm, the stoves are equipped with a cast-iron door and grate.

Furnace device "Varvara"

The combustion chamber consists of two zones: wood burns in one, gases burn out in the second. This made it possible to increase the efficiency of the furnace and maximize the use of the energy of fuel combustion. The long channel, through which the gases pass, contributes to a more complete transfer of heat from the air to the walls of the furnace, and from them to the room.

To improve convection, special channels are made. Air enters the convection channels from the ash pan, heats up from the walls of the oven, it rises up, leaving the steam room. The intensity of heat exchange and combustion is regulated with an ash scoop.

, which is located in the city of Tver, began to manufacture its oven products about 10 years ago, and until now this brand is in great demand and positive feedback from the owners.

Thanks to the complete structures, they can be installed in the smallest steam rooms. Various models of stoves allow you to create a unique image in the bath.

The power of Varvara ovens varies from 8 to 12 kW. The thickness of the metal used for the manufacture of the fuel combustion chamber does not exceed 6 mm. Thanks to this use of the material, the structure will last a long time.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Plan of a bath with an attic

Only one type of fuel is used - this is firewood. The heating time of the steam room is 1-1.5 hours. After the firewood has completely burned out, the room cools down rather quickly. But the manufacturer made models with two stoves, which retain heat in the room for much longer. This is due to the cladding of the structure with natural stones.

Stoves "Varvara" for a bath are characterized by simplicity of design. This is one of the main qualities for which users love her.

All sauna stoves include the following components:

heating jacket, which gives off its own heat to the room;
a firebox for burning firewood - from here the heat of the main structure is transferred;
chimney;
the furnace chamber is located next to the firebox - here the final decay of the generated flue gases takes place;
grate and ash pan.

Furnace design on the example of the "Varvara Classic" model

8 models of sauna stoves are presented. Despite such a limited choice, the clever design meets all the buyer's requirements:

oven equipped with a side-mounted water tank;
standard equipment, not equipped with a heat exchanger and a tank;
modification of the previous furnace with a water heating circuit.

The built-in water heating circuit allows you to equip the stove with a reservoir of up to 120 liters. As a rule, it is mounted at the top, acting as a connecting element between the ceiling and the hot pipe. Thanks to this, the user receives a double benefit - the pipe allows heating the liquid in the tank, which does not require the use of protective materials to isolate the pipe from the materials of the ceiling and the ceiling itself.

Another feature of the product is the ability to use the stove as a boiler in a hot water heating system. In most cases, the side tank has a capacity of up to 60 liters.

Features of the Varvara ovens (video)

Well, the Varvara stoves are one of the most affordable, and at the same time, simple and elective to operate on the domestic market. They are produced in Tver, and over its more than 10-year history, the manufacturer has earned a high reputation for the durability and efficiency of its own ovens. On the market today you can find many Barbara models, most of which have a 120 liter tank. However, there are also mini-variants with a small tank, the size of which is half the size. Mini stoves are designed for rooms of 12 sq.meters and despite their modest size they have high power. Among the disadvantages of stoves are the unattractive appearance and the formation of condensation on the chimney.

Varvara stove with brickwork

The sauna stove of the Varvara Kamenka has a fairly simple design. It is made in the form of an ordinary potbelly stove with a strong grid for stones, but at the same time it serves for a long time and efficiently. Often, to create a brighter atmosphere for a Russian bath, experts recommend covering this stove with bricks.

One such method, showing in detail and step-by-step how to do this, is presented below:

The first stage - on one side, the foundation must be brought under the wall in such a way that the stove screen is directed to the rest room. In this case, the lower rim comes out unchanged, and the screen laying is carried out through the insulation. To increase the strength of the masonry itself, it is necessary to bandage it with the oven lining in the steam room.
The second stage is heating the stove outside. which will eliminate the unpleasant odor. Then, strictly along the horizontal level, the first row of bricks is laid out on the mortar. The next row is a dry brick. As a result, the oven should stand on two rows of bricks and a galvanized sheet.
The third stage is the lining of the furnace itself. It is important to take into account that fireclay brick is best suited for the firebox and places of interaction with fire and high temperatures. The rest of the masonry can be made with hollow facing. It is when laying around the furnace that the cavities must be filled with sand, and also, in advance, provide for the presence of thermal gaps for the brick.
The fourth stage is the laying of the screen using chamotte clay mortar. It is very resistant to high temperatures and is able to compensate for the expansion of the masonry. When using fireclay clay, it is enough to dilute it with plain water. You can also use basalt cardboard, which has excellent thermal stability and is quite lightweight.
The fifth stage - pipe lining is made in half a brick, two channels must be left at the base. To improve convection, one brick can be removed when covering the back. And from a simple plastic pipe for sewage, a good hood can be obtained.
The sixth stage - a metal sheet is laid on the stove. To create an air flow, it is necessary to leave openings for large doors on the sides of the masonry, and on the bottom for two small ones. In the future, when used, this will allow you to change the direction of the air flow under the stove from the washing room or rest room.

The proposed method will allow you to independently and without significant costs install the stove in the bath.

First, you need to bring one side of the foundation under the wall, while there is no need to break the strapping and remove the beam. The oven screen should face the rest room. It is necessary to apply a layer of waterproofing on it. and from the second crown, start cutting the wall. In this case, the lower crown should remain intact, and the screen laying in this place is carried out directly through the waterproofing layer. In the steam room itself, the screen is tied to the main lining of the oven. Thus, the construction is quite sturdy.

Before installing the sauna stove "Varvara" it is recommended to heat it well outside. in order to get rid of the unpleasant smell inherent in all new heating devices.

Then the base is laid out. It is necessary to accurately check the horizontal with a building level and put the first brick row on the mortar. Next, the brick is laid out dry. Ultimately, the oven itself is placed on two layers of bricks and a sheet of galvanized iron.

The device itself is enclosed. It is recommended to use a heat-resistant brick (fireclay) for lining the furnace compartment; facing is used for the rest of the surface. The cavities are covered with sand.

The pipe is lined with half-brick, while two channels remain at the base.To ensure convective air flow, one brick is allowed from the rear side of the oven. For the hood, you can use a regular sewer pipe.

The stove is covered with a sheet cut out of metal. To create an air flow, two small doors are laid at the base of the furnace, and one larger door on the sides. This will also ensure that the flow is switched from "steam room mode" to "rest room mode".

For laying a brick screen, a heat-resistant clay mortar is required. which can be easily bought at any hardware store. Such clay is used even in the construction of brick ovens, as it can withstand temperatures up to 1500 degrees. It is allowed to use a very light material - basalt cardboard, which is able to withstand a fairly high temperature.

Sauna stove "Varvara" has high performance at a relatively low price.

Thus, using the tips for choosing and observing the simple recommendations for installing a stove for the Varvara bathhouse, you can easily mount the device in your area and provide yourself and your loved ones with the opportunity to steam in a real Russian bath.

Reviews of the "Varvara" series ovens

A large number of sauna owners who have been using such stoves for a long time give positive feedback on their stoves.

A detailed examination of the Varvara series of ovens, supplemented by reviews of real consumers, shows a large number of their advantages over analogues and explains the popularity of the models on the market.

“I have placed a Varvara Kamenka stove in the bathhouse, and I am generally satisfied with the choice. The steam room warms up in about an hour, firewood is consumed economically, a lot of good steam. The disadvantages include the need for frequent cleaning of the afterburner and chimney, the draft begins to deteriorate approximately once a quarter. "

Vladimir, Moscow.

“I decided to buy a sauna stove Terma-Skazka 2 years ago, during the entire service I did not notice any shortcomings. The main selection criterion was the quality of the steam, and this model completely suited me. I advise all sauna lovers to buy this stove with a closed heater. "

Denis, Nizhny Novgorod.

“I have been using the Palenica sauna stove for many years. In the first year of operation, condensation often formed in the chimney, but after consulting with the stove-operator, I fixed everything. It turned out that in models similar to a potbelly stove in terms of heating, it is important to bring the chimney straight up. I did not find any other shortcomings in Palenica ”.

Yuri, Moscow region.

“For a long time I decided on the stove for the bathhouse and sauna, after studying the reviews I settled on the Fairytale from the Barbarian. I believe that for such a model the price is justified and repaid, I did not notice any special design or operational shortcomings. The tank was hung over the stove, 61 liters is enough for the needs of 3-4 people. "

Ruslan, St. Petersburg.

Recommendations for selection and operation

All of the listed Varvara stoves are optimal in private baths and saunas; they are poorly suited for commercial use due to the limitation on the volume of the heated room. The main guideline for selection is power, then functionality. The presence of a water circuit, a side hinged tank or a tank located along the path of the flue gases allows using the heat resources of the stove to heat water for a shower and other needs.

Stoves with the Therma mark have a closed heater, they are recommended for obtaining so-called comfortable steam, without the risk of scalding when sprinkling hot surfaces. The amount and duration of the accumulated heat release to the bath depends on the mass of the loaded stones, in this regard, Kamenka definitely wins. Models with uncoated walls (Palenica, Mini) should be covered with refractory bricks.

1. The base is protected from overheating and burn-through.

2.The parameters of the heated water are controlled, the supplied pipes are selected taking into account possible pressure and temperature differences (plastic is not suitable).

3. The ash pan and chimneys must be cleaned.

4. To reduce the risk of condensation in the flue gas outlet (especially if there is a water tank along the way), it is recommended to consult with a stove-operator. This disadvantage is noted by many owners of stoves for baths and saunas, but with proper placement of pipes, its effect will be minimal.

5. Before installation, heat the device several times outside; it is advisable to fill the heater with stones of volcanic origin.

A stainless steel heat exchanger with a thickness of 1 mm, a volume of 3 liters, nozzles ¾ inches.
Hinged tank for 55 liters, installed in special pockets on the right or left walls.
A tank on a pipe, in which water is simultaneously heated from a heat exchanger installed in the furnace. The stainless steel tank also serves as a passage through the ceiling. This system requires plumbing and a pump. It is possible to take the steam out of the tank to the street, so that the humid and "heavy" steam does not spoil the atmosphere in the bath. This tank can be 60 or 120 liters.

Stove "Varvara Polenitsa"

The Palenitsa stove is designed for steam rooms from 12 m 3 to 24 m 3. Dimensions 685 * 430 * 840mm. Externally very similar to this model "Varvara Classic". but it does not have water tanks and is slightly higher and narrower (890 * 430 * 670mm).

We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Do-it-yourself water supply in the bath

Sauna stove "Varvara Skazka" (reviews correspond to the name). The stove is lined with polished soapstone slabs, which gives it solidity. Stones can be stored up to 95 kg, the steam room can be heated with a volume of 12 m 3 to 24 m 3.

"Varvara Mini" is a small (735 * 390 * 620mm), but very efficient stove that will heat the steam room 12 m 3 to 16 m 3. It can be equipped with a hinged tank, heat exchanger, it is possible to install a panoramic door. Large panoramic glass makes it possible to control the combustion process. It is also very pleasant after the steam room, comfortably sitting opposite, to enjoy the game of fiery tongues. A wonderful way to relax!

Convenient sauna stove "Varvara" with a water tank

Stoves "Varvara" are distinguished by their well-thought-out design, which allows not to create a wide range of devices, but at the same time to meet all the needs of users.

Conventionally, all bath stoves "Varvara" can be divided into three categories:

An ordinary stove without a heat exchanger and a tank - as a rule, it is used in cases where the boiler is needed only to create the necessary atmosphere in the steam room. Water is heated using a column or boiler.
A device with a circuit for heating water - the tank of such a furnace is designed for 120 liters of liquid and is most often installed from above. These devices are used in saunas where there is running water. If such a large tank is not needed, it can be reduced to 60 liters.
Sauna stove with a water tank located on the side - usually such a capacity has a volume of up to 60 liters. This allows you to heat the required amount of liquid to the desired temperature for a given time. Such a stove is an excellent option for steam rooms where there is no possibility to install a water supply system.

The Varvara sauna stove with a water tank has a fairly large height, so this must be taken into account

All these stoves are designed for steam rooms up to 24 cubic meters. m. If the area of the bath is slightly smaller, you can take a mini - model capable of heating a sauna with a volume of up to 12 cubic meters. m.

Design of furnaces of this brand

Barbarian models are very simple in the device. Let's consider their main elements:

Stove furnace - designed to burn the fuel loaded into it (in this case, firewood).
Afterburner chamber. In it, the final decomposition of the flue gases formed in the furnace is carried out.
The ash pan and grate are used to regulate the fuel combustion process and the collection of solid fuel residues.
Efficient chimney system.
Oven casing. It provides heat transfer to the room and heating of stones.

Varvara Classic

The furnace design is similar to the one discussed above. This model is considered the most primitive version of a stove without a circuit, it only provides heating of the heater and heating the air in the room.

Slightly more interest is aroused by additional modifications that make it possible to complete the bath in accordance with the wishes of the buyer and the technical parameters of the bath.

Water circuit

In this modification, it is possible to connect to the hot water supply or heating system of the furnace's own water circuit. A special water tank is attached to the side of the structure, but its heating rate remains quite low. A successful alternative to this solution is the possibility of installing an additional heat exchanger on the chimney.

The most interesting and most common design is considered to be a tank on a pipe, in this case, the tank is located in the attic, which saves some space in the dressing room or steam room. The tank must be simultaneously connected to the furnace water circuit and the water supply system. The main advantage of this system is the possibility of additional heating of water by transferring heat from the chimney itself.

The cost of this model is largely determined by the configuration:

Model without tank and circuit - 13 thousand rubles;
With a water heating circuit - 14 thousand rubles;
With a hinged tank - 16 thousand rubles;
With a tank on the pipe - 20 thousand rubles.

Water circuit

Device

Models of Varvara ovens are very simple in design. The structure is made of elements:

stove furnace, which is designed to load fuel (firewood);
post-heating chamber, where the final decomposition of flue gases takes place;
ash pan and grate bars, required to regulate the fuel combustion process and collect solid fuel residues;
chimney design;
furnace sheathing to transfer heat from the furnace to the environment;

Each furnace model can be equipped with additional elements that allow the furnace to function more efficiently and comfortably:

a remote furnace chamber, which can be made in various variations: short, standardized, elongated;
hinged tank. Such a device is a water container that is fixed to the left or right of the oven in a special recess. The tank is made of stainless steel no more than 1 mm thick;
wide-format door, which is for the most part a decorative element;
container for water. It is installed on the chimney pipe if the bath is equipped with a water supply. In this case, you can take a shower;
heat exchanger. This device is necessary for heating liquid in a container located at a remote distance from the stove. It is necessary to constantly monitor the amount of water in the heat exchanger. If there is a lack of water, the mechanism may leak.

Heating Stove Varvara: reviews

Thanks to its simple design, and as you know, everything ingenious is simple, the stove has been working steadily for many years in a row, without causing any particular complaints from users.

Basically, people praise the stove for its cheapness and high efficiency, because it does an excellent job of heating in a house or heating water.

Many people say that the stove is extremely durable and strong due to the peculiarities of its design. The stove tank is made of high-strength stainless steel and has a circuit that improves heat transfer and water circulation.

Dimensions (edit)

Stoves "Varvara" and "Mini Varvara" are produced in 2 variations, which have different doors in the furnace chamber:

cast iron door;
steel door (4 mm) with heat-resistant glass.

Door window parameters:

"Varvara" - 290 mm x 310 mm;
"Mini Barbarian" - 220 mm x 260 mm.

It happens that the size of the room does not allow installing the device so that the oven door is located in the next room. To alleviate this problem, there are models "Kamenka", "Fairy Tale", "Woodpile" with 3 parameters of the removal of the fuel structure:

short combustion chamber - 4 cm;
standardized firebox - 16 cm;
elongated firebox chamber - 30 cm.

Varieties of mini-ovens have the following dimensions of the combustion chamber:

short firebox - 2 cm;
standardized combustion chamber - 14 cm;
elongated firebox chamber - 28 cm.

Additional options

If you want to powerfully equip the stove with additional options, we will consider the features of each of them.

External combustion chamber

Sometimes the size of the partition between the steam room and the rest room does not allow you to move the firebox door to another room. And for the sake of the convenience of the user, the Varvara stoves are made at once with several options for removing the furnace channel.

For the Skazka, Kamenka and Palenitsa models:

shortened combustion chamber - 4 cm;
standard - 16 cm;
elongated - 30 cm.

For Mini models:

shortened combustion chamber - 2 cm;
standard - 14 cm;
elongated - 28 cm.

Tank hinged

Sauna stove Varvara Tank 55 l. / Panoramic door

Tank 50 l (for the Varvara stove) hinged

Bath models of the line are also produced with a hinged water tank. The reservoir is attached to a specially equipped pocket (it can be located both on the right and on the left side). The water is heated by heat exchange between the reservoir and the casing wall.

The tanks are made of "stainless steel" (AISI 430) 1 mm thick, their volume is:

for standard models - 55 l;
for ovens "Mini" - 41 liters.

Panoramic door

The models described in the article can be produced in two versions of the firebox doors:

cast iron door;
steel door (0.4 cm) equipped with a heat-resistant panoramic screen.

The dimensions of the door for standard modifications are 29x31 cm (cost - 3,500 rubles), for “Mini” models - 22x26 cm (2,650 rubles).

60/120 l tank

Heat generators with a tank located on the chimney are intended for baths equipped with a water supply. A pipe through the tank leads to the roof. The heat exchanger, made of 1.5 mm "stainless steel", circulates heated water; after an hour and a half, it is brought to a boil. Together with the water, the steam room also warms up (maximum volume - 24 m³). And if you additionally install a mixer, you can even equip a shower.

The tank is designed for 120 liters, which, if guided by a ratio of 3: 1, makes it possible to receive 360 liters of hot water each. If the customer's needs are less, he can complete the device with a 60-liter tank.

Heat exchanger

Heat exchanger for the Varvara furnace

Each of the described models for a bath can, if desired, be equipped with a heat exchanger, which will be mounted in the left or right wall of the case. This element is necessary to heat the water in the tank if it is located at a great distance from the heater. All heat exchangers are made of millimeter "stainless steel" (AISI 430), have a volume of 3 liters and are equipped with a pair of ¾ "pipes.

On a note! Do not use a heat exchanger that is not completely filled with water, otherwise it may lose its tightness. In addition, it is not recommended to use plastic pipes during assembly, since they emit harmful substances under the influence of high temperatures.

Instructions

To create the climate of a real Russian bathhouse, the Varvara stove is faced with bricks.

Here is the most economical variation of the foundation for the "Varvara" stove made of logs and correct cladding:

Only one side of the foundation is brought under the wall so that the stove screen comes out into the resting room. It must be overlaid with waterproofing material, and the cutting of the wall begins with 2 crowns. As a result, the foundation will be as close to the wall as possible. The brick screen is combined with the other side of the stove, which is located in the steam room.
Before proceeding with the installation of the stove, it must be heated outside. This is necessary in order to get rid of the unpleasant factory odor. The first row of bricks is laid on the mortar in accordance with the building level.

In the area next to the furnace chamber, refractory bricks are used. Cladding bricks are permitted in other areas. His sinuses are filled with ordinary sand.
The brick screen is made of fire-resistant clay mass. It can withstand temperatures up to 1500 degrees. You can buy it at any hardware store.
A piece suitable for the screen is cut out of the metal sheet, which can then be used to cover the heater area.

Building a brick screen has its advantages:

accumulates the received heat, and will give energy gradually, as it cools;
appearance - natural stone can be used for a modern style;
dry heat appears in the brickwork, which is characteristic only of Russian steam rooms.

disadvantages

The disadvantages of the "Varvara" ovens include perhaps not the most attractive appearance. If you plan to cover the stove with a screen (and this is the most reasonable solution), then the appearance should not bother you either, and there are almost no complaints about the quality of these stoves. Although there is a Skazka oven, which is faced with talcum powder. This model cannot be called unattractive.

Illustrative examples in the interior

Heating structures from the "Varvara" brand can be used in any stylistic way. Let's take a look at some of the currently most popular variations.

Classic style

The interior of the bathhouse in classical style involves the use of natural wood. Regardless of the size of the room, the design is characterized by basic elements.

Actual accessories: handmade bast shoes on the walls, amulets, a wooden bucket with a scoop, paths on benches. The effect of antiquity is created precisely due to such elements.
Shelves, which are made of solid wood, can be of various designs.

The heater stove is the main attribute of the Russian bath. Basically, it is made of bricks, and the cladding is performed using natural stone. The best variation is to buy a finished stove made of steel, and make the cladding made of stone.
Lighting. To create a warm atmosphere in the room, it is better to use spotlights or wall lamps with lampshades.
Furniture set. In this case, solid wooden tables with benches are used.
Fragrances. A real Russian bath is characterized not only by a wooden structure, but also by specific smells. Scented oils from lavender, eucalyptus are used to relax and calm the body, as well as the aroma of a steamed birch broom will have a pacifying effect on a person.

Modern style

Modern baths are large in size. Additionally, there are lounges, shower room, pool, veranda. The lounge is equipped with additional furniture (plasma TV, armchairs, sofa, table). The obsolete brick stove is being replaced by a portable metal structure.

The walls of the steam room are lined with wood clapboard, which should be placed in an upright position. This results in less accumulation of condensate in the crevices. The floor in a modern bath can be not only wooden, but also tiled. The modern look invites lighting fixtures to be installed anywhere, even along the edges of the shelves.

How to install the Varvara stove in a bathhouse

The mass of even the largest "Varvara" oven is small, and therefore the installation is simple. The manufacturer advises to pre-heat it on the street so that the paint polymerizes and the smell from the combustion of various technological substances and lubricants used in production is gone.

To close the top of the stove, you can lay a thick wire mesh with a small cell on the erected screen, and put stones for the bath on it. In such a simple way, you close the hard radiation from the stove and get well-heated stones.

If you wish, you can close the pipe with a brick, but due to the high heat transfer, the temperature of the pipe is not the highest and the radiation from it is not very intense. Therefore, it is laid in half a brick, but the foundation is not laid.

Barbarian lineup overview
