HEATER DESIGN

IMPORTANT!

Overall views of the heaters and (or) of their elements may be slightly different from the ones shown in the figures. The overall view and location of the heater’s main elements are shown in Figure 2. The firebox of the Dubravo heater (6) is fabricated of high-duty rolled steel. The use of such steel increases the heater’s durability and service life taking into account the firebox wall thickness of 3  mm, while the most critical elements are made of 5 mm thick steel.

The effective design for heating the stones and the steam room is due to numerous bends, and heat-conducting structural elements, which increase the heat dissipation area. Also, air convection between the heater firebox and radiators (8) plays a significant role.

A chimney connection pipe is a fixed element with a wall thickness of 5 mm.

It serves as a mandatory transition element from the heater to the chimney. Heater are equipped with a heating flue (3) allowing the heater to be stoked from the adjacent room, while the decorative screen (7) provides an aesthetic appearance when arranging a wall passage and installing fire blocks.

All heaters can be optionally equipped with special reinforcing devices (refer to Figure 8) that enhance combustion and additionally protect the heater firebox from destruction due to exposure to high temperatures. The devices have ducts for supplying additional combustion air, and when it enters the firebox, the air passes partially above the fire into its upper part, at the same time the unburned Products of combustion (soot) also burn up. Additional heat is generated at a similar post-combustion of flue gases, increasing the heater efficiency. There is a grate at the bottom of the heater (refer to Figure 5), it is fabricated of high-duty rolled steel with a thickness of 5 mm. The grate is one of the most thermally loaded parts of the heater, and the metal used for its fabrication meets all the specified requirements.

Grill’D heater firebox door (5) is fabricated of steel and Schott Robax® thermal glass (Germany). An ash box with an ash drawer (4) is located under the firebox. The outer surface of the heater is covered with anti-corrosion heat-resistant enamel. Cleanout cap (9) closes the opening, which serves to clean the heater flue channels of foreign objects, and soot accumulated on the inner walls, etc. For additional information on the heater maintenance, refer to Section.

HEATER OPERATION

It is necessary to operate the Grill’D heater in active combustion mode (partly open the ash drawer, 50 mm max) to set the temperature and during firing up. The principal heater operating time shall be in conservative mode (the ash drawer is partly open, 10 mm max).

The door opening angle is sufficient for the convenient loading of fuel and allows visual monitoring of the burning process due to the availability of the thermal glass. Ash falls through the plates of the grate into the ash drawer, which allows convenient cleaning of the heater without interruption of burning. Stones in the stone heater are high-capacity heat accumulators, they shield the user from high-level infrared radiation and serve to generate steam when water is poured onto them.

HEATER OPERATING PROCEDURE

1. Before every firing of the heater proceed as follows:

   • Make sure that there is a draft in the chimney.
   • Make sure that there are no foreign objects, or combustion Product residue from previous stoking in the heater firebox, ash drawer, or chimney.
   • As required, remove all unnecessary and foreign objects from the firebox and chimney; remove ash from the ash box.
   • Fill the integrated tank with water.
   • IMPORTANT!
     The use of cleaning logs (briquettes), homemade compounds creating high temperatures in the heater firebox and chimney, is prohibited to burn the soot deposited in them.

2. Put 3-4 logs on the grate in such a way as to ensure free access of air to the combustion area (lay the firewood loosely, adjust the ash drawer gap to be 50 mm max).
   IMPORTANT!
   Allowing firewood to burn inside the heating flue is prohibited. The allowable length of logs is specified in Table 1.
   IMPORTANT!
   It is allowed to use only the fuel types specified in Section 2. Coniferous, resinous tree species (spruce, fir, pine, etc.) are not recommended as fuel. Construction and other materials containing chemicals, glue, etc., are strongly prohibited as fuel. wood chipboard, wood fiberboard, and others.
   IMPORTANT!
   Burning firewood with a moisture content of more than 25% in the heater leads to a rapid formation of soot deposits on the walls and flue of the firebox, as well as on the chimney walls.

3. Ignite the firewood loaded into the firebox.
   IMPORTANT!
   Lighter liquids, explosive or toxic substances, paints, solvents, gasoline, etc., are prohibited to be used for this purpose.

4. After heating the chimney and developing of stable draft (usually after burning the first load of firewood) the heater can be switched to conservative burning to maintain the temperature (partly close the ash drawer, leaving a gap of 10 mm max). Burning mode can be controlled by adjusting the position of the ash drawer (opening/closing), if necessary.
   IMPORTANT!
   After the firing of the heater and before the development of a stable draft, emissions of minor volumes of smoke are possible.

5. When further stoking and loading of firewood is required, close the ash drawer, and 5 minutes after that open the door smoothly, without jerks. Load the firewood and close the door.
   IMPORTANT!
   To avoid early burnout of the firebox walls, It is allowable to carry out subsequent (upon the development of a stable draft) stoking of the heater to maintain temperature in the steam room in conservative mode only. It will also help to save the fuel.

6. The heater operation may be terminated after the entire load of firewood burns up. To do so, wait for the complete cooldown of the heater, remove ash from the firebox to the ash drawer, and then clean the ash box.

7. Drain the water from the integrated tank.
   IMPORTANT!
   It is prohibited to use a salt solution to generate steam during operation: pouring it onto the stone heater and the heater metal.
   IMPORTANT!
   It is necessary to avoid the ingress of water or salt solution onto the exposed metal parts of the heater that are both in the heated and unheated condition.
   IMPORTANT!
   Partial burning out of heat-resistant enamel is possible on the most thermally loaded elements of the heater during operation, which is not a manufacturing defect.
   IMPORTANT!
   The firebox metal may become slightly deformed during operation, which is not a manufacturing defect provided the integrity of weld joints is preserved.
   IMPORTANT!
   In case there is a hot water tank, the water shall be drained from the tank every time after termination of the heater operation, if the temperature in the room drops below + 5 ⁰С during interruptions of the heater operation.
