I have a small individual summer cottage - 5 acres, so I built the corresponding brick house: 4,5x4 m. I fenced off the room with a decorative wall for the bedroom and living room. And to make it more comfortable, I put a fireplace in the living room. And now I am overjoyed: the fireplace regularly heats the room, creates an unusual atmosphere of "communication" with an open fire. In addition, it takes up little space - in the corner. I will be glad if someone will benefit from my experience.

There were no particular difficulties in the calculations and subsequent execution of the mini-fireplace I had conceived. Although the very design of the corner stove, as I began to call it, differs from traditional wall-mounted fireplaces (or free-standing indoors), of course, it implies some departure from the usual schemes and, as a result, an independent solution of individual elements of the furnace, chimney and the chimney itself . Therefore, both the preparatory and working stages of its creation require a leisurely, thoughtful approach - according to the proverb "try on seven times, cut once."

Before laying, he made drawings - "orders". According to them, he carefully selected and adjusted the bricks dry, after which he laid them on the mortar (clay and sand in a ratio of 1: 1). For masonry I used a dense red brick, for a firebox - refractory.

When developing a fireplace project, it is important to calculate the cross-sectional area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe chimney in the pipe and the dimensions of the portal (firebox window).

Corner mini fireplace
Corner mini-fireplace: 1 - foundation (reinforced concrete slab); 2 - main masonry (red brick); 3 - firebox (refractory brick); 4 - upper support of the portal (steel corner); 5 - decorative board; 6 - chimney; 7 - adapter frame (steel corner 45x45x4); 8 - thrust gate valve; 9 - gate handle; 10 - mortgage cleaning window; 11 - shield-reflector; 12 - hook for hanging the kettle; 13 - gate guide bracket, lower; 14 - centering gate (pipe); 15 - gate valve (steel sheet s4); 16 - gate guide (pin M10); 17 - bracket guide gate and umbrella (steel strip); 18 - umbrella of the pipe head (roofing iron); 19 - belt under the bracket (steel strip); 20 - pipe; 21 - fittings; 22 - adapter frame support (steel strip 50x3)

The ratio of their areas should be approximately 1:10. I was convinced: if you take more, for example, 1:15, the fireplace will not heat, but cool the room, turning into an exhaust hood.

The width of the portal at my fireplace is 600 mm, the height is 500 mm, and the chimney area is 378 cm2. Above the ceiling, the triangular chimney passes into a square pipe through an adapter frame. To protect the roof from sparks, the pipe was raised 400 mm above the ridge. Its total height (from the bottom of the furnace) was 6 m.

An umbrella made of roofing iron was installed on top of the pipe head. In order to keep warm and protect the chimney from being covered with snow, the pipe outlet was closed with a steel gate valve measuring 410x280 mm. The lifting system is simple. In the chimney, at different heights, I installed guides - metal strips with 10 mm holes, through which I passed a draft of 6 mm wire.

Orders

Materials used:

For masonry: red brick - 582 pcs., refractory brick - 192 pcs.

For mortar: clay - 8 buckets, sand -300 kg, cement - 200 kg.

Finished parts and materials: cleaning door - 1 pc., steel corner 45x45 mm - 3 m, reinforcing steel Ø12 mm - 1m, steel pipe Ø15 mm - 380 mm, pine board 1300x450x50 mm - 1 pc., concrete M100 - 0,5, 3 m4, roofing material -2 m410, steel plate 280x3x1 mm - 6 pc., steel wire Ø6 mm - XNUMX m.

Its upper end was attached to the damper gate, and the lower end to a rotary lever with a handle, passed in a steel pipe with a diameter of 15 mm through the chimney wall (slightly above the cleaning door, which is laid above the "smoke tooth"). I calculated it so that when the handle is turned 180 °, the thrust, pushing the gate, lifts it above the pipe by at least 200 mm. Having heated, by turning the handle in the opposite direction, I close the chimney, and all the heat remains in the house.

Another useful trick: in the furnace, a steel hook was attached to an inclined shield that reflects heat to the floor while laying bricks. A cast-iron cooking pot is hung on it. And after the firewood burns out and bright hot coals remain, you can cook a barbecue. To do this, I slide a metal barbecue table into the firebox. Do you hear how the barbecue sizzles? And what a flavor! And it's all right in the living room, even if the weather suddenly cleared up behind the wall and it's raining.

I want you to have one like this too!

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
