In addition, the Bavaria cast iron stove is also manufactured.
On Russian market The Bavaria stove with a heat exchanger appeared relatively recently. However, during its existence, it managed to displace traditional potbelly stoves and those stoves that are made of brick. This is due to the fact that potbelly stoves, although they take up little space, do not provide as much heat as “Bavaria”, whereas with stoves the opposite is true.
For this reason, consumers began to choose fireplace stoves manufactured by the Moscow Ecokamin plant. This enterprise became known not so long ago. Its popularity came after the acquisition of German equipment, which made it possible to make the transition to foreign standards. It was then that the production of Bavaria stoves with a heat exchanger began.
Reviews of corner fireplaces with heat exchanger
The corner stove works according to a special principle. After the device starts functioning, the frame heats up first, then the heat spreads throughout the room. In order to avoid problems, it is better to carry out the first fire outside the building. The protective film is removed from the glass. If this is not done, glue stains will remain on the surface, which will be very difficult to get rid of.
The corner stove with a heat exchanger has recently become very popular. This is due to the fact that this design allows you to increase the heating time of the room several times. This effect can be achieved by thickening the walls of the unit, additionally, and by installing a water circuit.
The heat exchanger itself is a system consisting of pipes and an open 4-liter tank. Cold water from the water supply it is supplied to the heat exchanger through a pump, and then passes through pipes near the firebox, which provides heating. The coolant is supplied to expansion tank, and from there it is distributed through the pipes of the entire house.
Consumers like that the heat exchanger can operate in one of two modes: gravity or method forced circulation. In the first case, the pipes are laid at right angles, while in the second, the installation of a water pump will be required. Bavaria eco-fireplaces, as buyers emphasize, are usually supplemented with thermometers and pressure gauges. This simplifies the process of thermoregulation.
The heating area of such devices can reach 180 m2. As for fuel, for such units it is better to use dry chopped firewood. Their heat of combustion should be 13800 kJ/kg. Wet firewood, according to consumers, is not recommended to be used, since it burns poorly and its heat transfer is quite low.
Reviews about the operational features of the eco-fireplace
Bavaria eco-fireplaces, according to consumers, are quite aesthetically pleasing, but require a little modification. With this unit, heat can be obtained quite quickly. The equipment is inexpensive and has a hob.
The tiles are easy to design and can be replaced. Consumers consider the small firebox and the lack of a mode to be a negative feature. long burning, which is not declared by the manufacturer. To operate the device, you will have to prepare shorter firewood.

Photo:
So, the review itself: “I bought the Prismatic model stove in 2012. I bought it specifically for heating. frame house 6X9 m. For insulation, “Rockwool” was used (thickness 15 cm). I use the house to its fullest in the summer, in the winter only on weekends.
To heat the house, the stove is heated for 4-5 hours. It is installed in the living room and first heats this room. After the temperature reaches 18-20 degrees, I open the doors to the two bedrooms adjacent to the living room. After three hours of burning, when the heating panel heats up, I add the last batch of fuel. This wood usually burns out by the end of the fourth hour. After this, I open the summer passage for 15 minutes in the chimney. I do this so that smoke leaves the channels. By this time the air temperature rises to 25 degrees.
After finishing the fire, the heating panel remains warm for another 10 hours. The oven itself cools down faster. The day after the topic, to obtain a room temperature of 25 degrees, it is enough to heat the stove for 2-3 hours.”

3. Corner fireplaces "Bavaria". These models are ideal for small spaces. In such stoves, the chimney is mounted on top, not on the back. This model of fireplaces is also equipped with fire-resistant glass. The combustion chamber is framed on both sides by ceramic panels that imitate marble tiles. The firebox is made of thick-walled steel and additionally reinforced with fireclay bricks. Cast iron grate. This model is designed for burning wood of 50 cm or less. It can be equipped with a heating panel or a water heat exchange circuit.
Many owners country houses already installed corner fireplace. From their reviews it follows that such a furnace must be installed with a damper. If this is not done, there will be nothing to regulate the draft and the heat will literally “fly out the drain.”
You should also pay attention that during the first fire, the stove frame first heats up and the smell spreads throughout the house. To avoid this, you can heat the stove outside for the first time.
Also, before starting the fire, you should remove protective film, which is applied to the glass. Otherwise, traces of glue will remain and it will be impossible to remove them.
Advantages of furnaces with a heat exchanger
The room heating time can be increased if:
– make the oven walls thicker;
– install an additional heating shield;
– install a water circuit, thanks to which radiators in other parts of the house will be heated.
Heat exchanger- This is a system of pipes and a 4-liter open tank. The principle of its operation is as follows:
1. Cold water enters the heat exchanger using a pump or directly from the water supply.
2. Passing through the works near the firebox, the water heats up.
3. Then hot water enters the expansion tank.
4. From there it goes through pipes to heating radiators throughout the house.
The heat exchanger can operate by gravity or in forced circulation mode. In the latter option, a water pump is installed, and in the first, the pipes are laid at a slight angle. This system is equipped with a thermometer and pressure gauge for ease of regulation. A fireplace stove with a heat exchanger can heat a room with a volume of up to 180 cubic meters. m.
