Features of stoves for a bath "Teplodar"
For many, one of the decisive factors influencing the choice is the material from which the firebox is made. So, "Teplodarovskie" furnaces are made of stainless steel with a decent chromium content: the main part is made of stainless steel with a 13% content, and the most "worn out" parts contain 17% chromium. Moreover, the thickness of the sheet is considerable - 4 mm. This is the only manufacturer in Russia that supplies such thick-walled stainless steel furnaces.
In general, Teplodar ovens have enough innovative solutions, many of which are patented. Recently, the invention of local designers has been especially heard - built-in steam generators.

Metal stoves are good for everyone - they are easy to install, they quickly heat up themselves and heat the steam room (if these are normal ovens), but to get "light" steam, and the temperature in the steam room is low (the conditions of a Russian bath), you need a lot of experience and a whole range of activities ...
Having analyzed all these "dances with tambourines", the designers of "Teplodar" and created their own steam generator. These are stainless steel plates with holes, welded around the perimeter of the firebox and in certain places of the firebox with very high temperatures. Water, falling on these plates and spreading, turns into fine-dispersed dry steam - the temperature of these plates is more than 500 ° C, so the steam is really "light". The video is testing a stove with a steam generator.
In order to be able to regulate the humidity in the steam room, there are two metering taps in the water tank. They allow you to adjust the water supply from the "trickle" to the drip mode. In this way, you can achieve the humidity in the room that you wanted.

Almost any of the lines of wood-burning stoves "Teplodar" can be retrofitted with a gas burner... The main requirement is a remote firebox (elongated fuel channel). Therefore, some people call Teplodar gas-wood stoves.
The diameter of chimneys in all Teplodar sauna stoves is one of the most common - 115mm, chimney outlets are located in different models in different ways: usually in the center, but there are also offset ones. There are models with built-in tanks for heating water, most of the stoves for the Teplodar bathhouse can be completed with hinged or remote water tanks.
The oven installation diagram is in each instruction for Teplodar ovens
It must be said that for each model of Teplodar furnaces there is a sufficiently detailed instruction, which contains a description of the work and recommendations for installation, there are diagrams of the ventilation and smoke removal device. All these documents are available on the manufacturer's website, they can be read or downloaded for detailed study.
Types of heating installations
Wood-fired heating model Termofor
The Termofor company produces different models of furnaces, which differ in design, heat output, availability of additional options and operate according to separate principles. The assortment includes:
- heating devices;
- woodburning stoves;
- gas and electric ovens for baths;
- units for heating and cooking;
- boilers for various purposes.
A separate samovar-type tank can be installed on the stove in the Thermofor bath. It can also be present in a set of models as an option
Considering the material of manufacture, Termofor stoves are divided into devices made of high-alloy stainless steel (Inox) and cheaper units made of structural carbon steel (Carbon).
If the firebox of the stove is made of stainless steel, the service life of the heating device is significantly increased. But the price of such models is 15% higher.
Low power
Low-power device for a small room
Compact sauna stoves Termofor are suitable for a steam room of 4-10 m3. Heating units heat up quickly, little firewood is consumed. The stoves in modern models are of impressive size and can accommodate a lot of stones. This allows you to warm up the steam room for a long time. Equipment in this category is considered ideal for summer cottages and small cottages. Despite the fact that low-power models consume little fuel, their efficiency is quite high. For this reason, it is possible to save on heating without reducing the comfort in the house. This group includes ovens "Compact", "Normal", "Birch", "Cinderella".
Basic
Perfect for a steam room of 6-16 m3. Medium-power devices warm up the room well for an hour, the walls of the structure retain heat for a long period of time. Basic models retain all the properties of low-power devices, only they are installed in rooms with a large volume. If you choose the wrong heater for the steam room, problems may arise: excessive fuel consumption, disruption to the operation of the unit (with all the consequences), low temperature in the room. Therefore, basic models on a level with low-power ones are often installed in summer cottages, in small cottages. Thermofor furnaces of this class include Tunguska and Geyser 2014.
Enlarged
Sauna stove Hekla of increased power
The most powerful heating units are designed to heat 12-24 m3 steam rooms. This is the best option for a country house. By choosing such a model, you can provide sufficient coziness and comfort in the room for little money. Reliability of high-power heating furnaces Termofor eliminates unnecessary financial costs and other unpleasant moments. Representatives of devices with increased power: "Kalina" and "Hekla" Inox.
Heating stoves operate in the range from lowest to highest power. Many manufacturers, in order to attract a client, indicate the maximum parameters. The use of heating equipment at such a capacity will lead to its rapid deterioration. Therefore, the oven should be purchased with a small margin of performance.
Models of stoves for a bath "Teplodar"
At the moment, the smallest lineup is “Kuban”. It differs from the others in the painted convector and in two types of heaters in one body: there are both open and closed heaters. A built-in dispenser supplies water to the stones inside the oven, making the steam light. The stones of an open heater quickly warm up the room. The stove is produced only in one modification, it is heated from an adjacent room, it is designed to heat steam rooms with a volume of 10-20m3.

There is also an open and closed heater in one more model "Teplodar-Domne". The “Domna” sauna stove has a combined convector: the side walls are made of mesh, and the front and rear walls are made of metal convectors.
The inner heater is equipped with a funnel and a dispenser for supplying water to stones heated to high temperatures. There is a special door for regulating the temperature of the stones in the inner heater. "Domna" has a fairly decent height (1021 mm) and an elongated firebox, heats up a room with a volume of 10-25m3 in 35-50 minutes.

Furnaces "Rus" are quite popular. They are available in 7 versions with modifications, designed for heating steam rooms, with a volume of 4m3 ("Rus 9") to 27m3 ("Rus-panorama").More details about the Rus-Panorama oven are described in the video.
For those who are engaged in saunas professionally or who prefer to have a large margin of safety, there are modifications "pro", which differ in that the furnaces are made exclusively made of stainless steel with 17% chromium content... It must be said that the prices for these ovens are among the lowest. For example, Russia 9 costs from 7790 rubles, Russia 18 - from 11140.

The stove with an open mesh-stove "Siberian cliff" (4 modifications) is cast with a high speed of heating the room. This is achieved thanks to the patented perforated convector, which creates an excellent convection flow that heats the stones quickly. It is possible to increase the humidity of the air, which necessarily "dries up" during rapid heating, using the built-in steam generator (you can add water in half an hour after the start of the furnace). A steam room of 10-20m3 "Utes" heats up in 50 minutes (similar models from other manufacturers in 2-4 hours).
Sauna stove "Teplodar Siberian Utes"
The “Cascade” ovens have an unusual appearance: the smooth curved lines of the convector look original. The side walls of the "Cascades" firebox are made of thick structural steel. This makes it possible to firmly hold the considerable weight of the stones (66 kg). The upper part of the firebox, which has the greatest thermal load, is made of stainless steel. This combination has proven itself well during operation and has a rather long durability resource (see video).
Like most modern models of Teplodar, branded steam generators are built into the Cascades. These ovens are designed for 10-18m3.

Sibir stoves are long-livers. They have been in production for 14 years. They have one of the highest indoor air heating dynamics (designed for 10-20 cubic meters): from 0 ° C to 100 ° C in 30 minutes. This is the best option for dry air saunas. There is an option with a panoramic door and a "pro".
Sauna stove "Teplodar Siberia"
"Sahara" is one of the new developments of "Teplodar". Even the postulates of Feng Shui were taken into account when creating it - the stove has no sharp corners. A domed stove and a symmetrical firebox are used in the Sahara 16, 24 and Profi versions, while the Sahara 10 has a two-chamber stove. The convector casing promotes the rapid spread of heat - the steam room heats up within half an hour. There are modifications of the "Sahara", equipped with a steam generator, which can be supplied with water within 15-20 minutes after the start of combustion.
Sauna stove "Teplodar Sahara"
Not so long ago a stove for a bathhouse "New Russia" appeared in "Teplodar". It is positioned as a stove for a Russian bath - it heats the room softer, and even after a long burning time, the air in the steam room does not overheat. The device of the steam generator has also been improved, and the heating of stones has been improved. The result is drier, almost invisible steam and lower temperature in the steam room.
The difference between the stoves "Rus" and "New Rus" is described in the video.
The choice is vast. It's easy to get confused. To prevent this from happening, decide on the type of heater - open, closed or combined. Then, based on the volume of your steam room, select the models and carefully study the parameters and characteristics, see which of them will "become" better specifically in your case. As a rule, the result will be two or three options. Well, then - based on personal preference and intuition.
Furnaces - mesh
This product series does not have a convection casing as the fuel chamber is surrounded by a heater on all sides. Outside, the stove is bounded by a net that serves as a decorative function, since it is made in the form of a barrel. A striking example of such a heater is a very popular sauna stove Termofor - Sayany, whose diagram is shown in the figure:
The design of this model is somewhat simpler, there is no channel for supplying secondary air and a second course of flue gases. But it is distinguished by its original design and increased heat capacity due to the large volume of heated stones. Thanks to this, it keeps warm for a long time, after the firewood in the firebox has already burned out. If we rely on user reviews, then the Sayany model is considered one of the most successful at an affordable cost.
For reference. Another original barrel-shaped model, derived from the Sayan, has recently appeared. This is a novelty called "Barrel" shown in the picture:
Reviews of the owners about the ovens "Teplodar"
Actually, there are not so many reviews of the owners. Most of the forums are controversial regarding various manufacturers of metal bath stoves, and among those who sell them. So, based on all these statements, it is difficult to draw conclusions about which oven is better. Here are the reviews that we managed to find:
“I will not answer you with such an interpretation of the question, because I don’t think that Teplodar ovens are significantly better or significantly worse than ovens from other manufacturers. My personal rule is that all stoves are good, it is only necessary for a specific buyer to choose what is most suitable for him personally for a number of factors. In the summer of this year, I sent my relative a Rus 12 stove to the Volga near Togliatti as a gift. Selection criteria - a furnace of 10-12 cubic meters, compact, with a blind door, with removal, without unnecessary bells and whistles. I chose from Cuirassiers, Termofors and Teplodarov. Due to the required geometric dimensions of the furnace, he stopped in Russia. Feedback from a relative - the operation of the stove satisfies him, it picks up the temperature of 70-80 degrees in the steam room in about 30 minutes. In comparison with an old home-made stove, it consumes an order of magnitude less firewood. The person is satisfied. This is in a nutshell. I think I partially answered your question about "Why .." And I repeat once again, I think that there are no good or bad ovens. There is a problem of meeting our needs. Somewhere from the classics ... If a person is content with what he has, then he is happy. "
“Teplodar is a good stove, I have a bath-teplodar in my bathhouse, and a heating teplodar in my house. They know how to make ovens in Novosibirsk. I did not hang the tank on the pipe, boiling water is faster and more convenient in the dressing room in the kettle, and so the tank takes a lot of heat, and the steam room heats up for a long time, but I can make a bath in 1-1.5 hours at subzero temperatures, despite the fact that I do not have insulation, and the beam is 100. "
Design features
Fuel for ovens Termofor
The models of Termofor ovens have some differences in the device, but all units are similar, since they function according to the same principle.
- The devices operate on wood, instead of which it is permissible to use pellets, Euro briquettes. The special design allows the fuel to burn for a long time (before turning into ash).
- Convective pipes pass through the combustion chamber, which provides convection heating of the room.
- Thanks to the enlarged removable grates, a lot of oxygen enters the combustion chamber. In addition, the ash does not remain in it, but falls into the ash pan. Oven operation and maintenance, including replacement of parts, can be done in-house.
- The firebox is shaped like a flame, which guarantees uniform heating of the surface.
- The surface of the combustion chamber is lined with a fire-resistant material from the inside, which prolongs the life of the product.
- The special design guarantees fire safety, improves heat transfer.
Furnaces Termofor have an attractive appearance, compact size. Therefore, the structure is installed in any premises of a residential building, dacha. But at the same time, the owner must comply with the necessary safety rules.
Models and their main characteristics
Compact
Reviews of the compact sauna stove are the most positive.The latest models of "Compact" have undergone significant improvement: its exterior has changed, the size of the container for stones, moved to the center of the chimney, which simplified the installation of the device. The "Compact" model compares favorably with cost and fuel economy. In this model, the built-in or wall-mounted tank can be used together, heating a larger volume of water.
The Compact heater has an opening for draining excess water.
Important! When choosing a Compact oven, you need to pay attention to the "L" marker in the technical specifications. It means that the device is made of alloy steel with added chromium. This option, according to customer reviews, is the most durable.
Geyser
The name of the sauna stove "Geyser" corresponds to the basic principle of its operation. Connoisseurs of the sauna business believe that "light" steam, which is formed when water comes into contact with a hot stove, has special health benefits. The design of the "Geyser" model provides for the formation of dry useful steam. This effect is achieved through the use of a special water dispenser. Through it, water enters the closed heater and turns into steam. The hot steam enters the additional container of the stove and loses its moisture, forming dry, light heat.
In Geyser, all power is concentrated on the heating process of the heater, which results in a dry and comfortable vaping effect.
Sayan
This stove is a stylish decoration of the sauna interior. Its peculiarity is in the heater net. The stones are on the outside of the oven. If you choose rocks that are distinguished by their aesthetic appearance, crimson quartzite or jadeite, they will become a real decoration of the steam room. Reviews of the Sayana model indicate only one drawback - the long warming up of the room. This process takes at least three hours, but the stones will retain heat for a very long time and have a healing effect on the body.
Viburnum
The Kalina model is designed for large steam rooms up to twenty-four square meters. It is equipped with heat-resistant glass, so it is perfect for placing in a relaxation room. It will be nice to watch the flame here.
Its surface is not covered with a stone, so in many reviews there are fears that such an oven will overheat the steam room. Some "homemade products" for reinsurance glue its surface with baseboard, which allows you to keep heat longer and save fuel.
Angara
Modern versions of the Angara model have a closed heater. In this version, the stones are heated with a circular flow of flame up to six hundred degrees! In "Angara" the concept of equal strength of parts under thermal action is used. Those parts that are most exposed to thermal and mechanical stress are made of thickened metal. The Angara model heats water directly from the flame, which makes the process fast and efficient.
Important! When installing a stove for a bathhouse "Angara", it is necessary to carefully approach the safety requirements.
Previous models of the "Angara" stove had an external arrangement of stones. The heater is now a screen that protects the steam room from the heat of the stove. This allows Angara to warm up the steam room in just an hour.
Tunguska
"Tunguska" is perhaps the most popular model in the line of heating devices for the "Termofor" bath. Its first model was created in 2001 and has been modified several times since then:
- improved air flow circulation;
- equipped with an infrared shielding casing.
Experienced bath attendants in their reviews recommend revealing the stove in a steam room with stone tiles and installing an economizer on the chimney.
The Tunguska model is designed for a steam room from eight to sixteen cubic meters of volume.
