Feringer sauna stoves - overview of the model range and characteristics

Feringer stoves are considered one of the best among both professionals and sauna lovers. There are several varieties with 2 categories:

• When used in a bath - with an insulated heater (temperature 60-75°C, humidity 45-80%). Name in the catalog “Steam ovens”.
• For steam rooms with dry air - with an open heater (temperature over 75°, humidity 15-20%). Located in the “Golden Ratio” section.

Since 2011, a new model has been produced - “Lamel”. It is lined with natural stone, and has differences in the design of the stove, which makes it possible to warm up steam rooms in baths with sub-zero temperatures. On the stove, the stone is cut into plates and secured using a holder with hooks. Stone lamellas, using these hooks, are fixed in a special hole. Installation is quite easy and efficient, requiring little time. You can buy the stoves themselves in the online store, where a large assortment of Feringer sauna stoves is presented.

Design Features

The main distinguishing feature is the firebox, extended upward. The diagram shows that the firebox is surrounded by stone. The heat from the walls passes to the stone, from which the screen warms up, and the room warms up from the screen. Therefore, this stove is not lined with bricks, as is done when using other stoves.

The second distinctive feature is the absence of grates in the firebox. Since the combustion method is used from above. In this design, the fuel is ignited from the top, allowing maximum use of the heat from combustion. The coals are always located in the combustion area and burn completely.

The third feature is the presence of side combustion and a smoke tooth. Thanks to this technique, the main amount of heat is used for warming up, and does not fly out into the chimney. The side burning technique is a special design in which the coals are located throughout the stack, igniting the firewood located on the sides. Smoke tooth - located at the top of the firebox, twists the flame into a spiral. Thanks to this, combustion occurs longer in the firebox, heating the walls, and only minor residues fly into the chimney. But the heat escaping into the chimney is used to heat the steam room. For this purpose, “Feringer” has some features.

• Heater on a pipe in various versions, with a grate or decorative screen.
• Convector, with control on the pipe. This is a device with air ducts around the pipe.

When installing the convector below, after the furnace is ignited, hot water is poured in. As the emitted smoke gases pass through, the water evaporates and enters the lamella channels. Wet steam has a high heat capacity, so it absorbs and transfers a lot of heat. Streams of steam warm up the steam room much faster. But this device is used only when warming up. When steaming, cover it with a damper, making sure that the water has boiled away.

How to choose a stove for a sauna?

You should buy a Feringer stove depending on the volume of the steam room. The stove is selected with a obviously large margin of heated volume (30-60%). For example, for a steam room with a volume of 10 m3, you need to choose a stove designed to heat 16 m3 of steam room. The choice also depends on the number of people in the bathhouse at the same time.

The choice of oven should be made based on the following factors:

• The actual volume of your steam room;
• The desired microclimate in the steam room. Vohringer stoves are supplied either in a mesh or in a steel casing with a closed heater. If you want to get a Finnish sauna, you need a stove in a mesh; if you want to have a Russian bath mode, then you need a stove in a casing;
• The presence of adjacent rooms that need heating: washing room, rest room, etc.;
• The presence of windows (vents), doors, which consume the power of the furnace during heat loss;
• The number of users simultaneously in the bath.

In accordance with these parameters, the selection of the furnace is carried out. We recommend choosing with a power reserve to compensate for losses associated with the above factors.

Manufacturers of Vohringer stoves have taken care of the efficiency of designs of any modification. Among the advantages of the products, we note environmental cleanliness, hygiene and safety. We also highlight the presence of an international TUV certificate, as well as certificates of compliance with fire safety rules and the State Standard of the Russian Federation.

In the equipment of the entire line of stoves, we note the presence of glass-ceramic screens, which is important for the comfortable and aesthetic use of the stoves, as well as operational safety due to the use of stainless steel. The difference between this brand is the use of unique combustion principles. The choice of model should be made depending on the volume of the firebox, which is due to the relationship between the generated volume of steam and the heating rate.

Feringer stoves with closed heater

In an insulated stove, a cylinder-shaped stone container surrounds the firebox on all sides and rests on the base of the stove. Only the door remains open. There is a damper to regulate the air pressure. During intense heating, the damper opens, which ensures rapid heating of the steam room; the steam room is dried in the same position.

When the desired temperature is reached, the damper is closed. The temperature is evened out and the steam room conditions are maintained in the desired mode. At the top of the firebox there is a smoke tooth. This is an “L” shaped piece. It twists the flame and smoke into a spiral, so the walls are heated more strongly. This tooth has another advantage: it does not allow the flame in the pipe to rise above 40 - 60 cm. Regulating the intensity of combustion.

The burning rate is varied using two dampers. One is above the door, the second is below it. It is not recommended to close the damper located at the top completely, which helps prevent soot from appearing on the glass.

These dampers control the volume of air entering the firebox. The greater the supply, the more active the flame. This mode is used at the beginning, for warming up. When the temperature approaches the set value, the dampers are closed, the fire goes out and the wood smolderes, thereby maintaining the temperature, stopping the heating of the steam room.

Getting steam

The heater contains a device – a steam gun. This is an L-shaped tube with holes, and another tube goes into it. This tube, in turn, is brought up to the top of the heater, water enters it and is converted into steam. Through the holes, water flows onto the stones at a high temperature of 500 – 550°C. Due to this, the steam is heated to a high temperature, and is called light. Regulating the temperature in the steam room.

The temperature in the steam room depends on several factors. From radiation coming from the furnace and pipe, steam temperature. To change the temperature in the steam room, there are dampers (gates). The regulation of combustion and heat transfer was described above. The air pressure is also controlled through the chimney convector. At the top, on it, there is a valve that blocks the gap in the air duct tubes. In the latest Feringer stoves of the Lamel series, there is one more element, the heater ventilation valve. It is triggered after the stones are strongly heated, and the escaping air quickly heats the steam room, reaching the set mode. It is with this heating of the steam room that even heat is formed, and the body warms up more deeply without getting burned.

All about Feringer sauna stoves: reviews, disadvantages and advantages

Furnaces produced by Fehringer are a completely new development from the plant of the same name. The creators had a single goal - to produce equipment that would be intended for the “Russian bath” regime. The manufacturer tried to fully take into account the tastes and preferences of consumers, as well as modern trends in the heating sector.

Thanks to the painstaking work of specialists, Feringer stoves were manufactured, which are among the best heating equipment for Russian baths. Let us note that exclusively many years of research work, as well as a number of specific tests, made it possible to produce truly high-quality and reliable equipment. Today, there are a considerable number of generally accepted standards that must be taken into account when designing equipment. It should be noted that all these standards were observed.

Technical features of Feringer furnaces

The diversity of the range of this equipment allows you to choose an option for heating residential or utility rooms, as well as for bathhouses. Directly for the steam room, the Feringer range of stoves includes equipment with open and closed heaters, specially lined with stone. According to this, the heating installations closely resemble real stone stoves. All models are united exclusively by proprietary design characteristics:

• Burning from top to bottom;
• Absence of an ash pan and grate in the design;
• Air supply is carried out through special channels in the upper part of the door with heat-resistant glass.

All innovations are developed in order to significantly improve the technical characteristics of Feringer sauna stoves. It is thanks to them that any model of this heating equipment functions for a long time on one tab, while ensuring high efficiency. In addition, top ignition is quite convenient, since there is no need to provide airflow from below, and the actual process of igniting the logs is much faster.

What ensures long-lasting combustion?

Exclusively all Feringer long-burning stoves are made of a metal body with a high firebox. The latter, in turn, is filled to the top with firewood, then covered with a lid. Air is supplied directly through this cover using a pipe. There is a weight pressing on the fuel from above.

As a rule, heating installations for Feringer baths operate in the following modes:

1. Blowing out the heater. The combustion chamber operates with an open air valve, which directs the entire air flow into the heater. This convection mode allows you to regulate the power of the flow of hot air released into the steam room;
2. Dry Finnish sauna. The mode operates with the valve open;
3. The fastest drying of a steam room, with the valve open and the fire burning intensely;
4. The closed valve provides an imitation of a Russian stove. Direct heating occurs solely from direct contact of the air flow with the hot stone lining of the furnace, without the use of convection currents.

Modern models of Feringer equipment

It is worth noting that this brand produces both stoves for a sauna room - with a closed heater, and installations for saunas - with an open heater.

Heating systems with closed heater

The category of Feringer stoves includes “steam installations” for baths. At the moment, there are five options, the technical features of which are presented in the table below. Please note that the price of equipment is indicated in dollars due to the instability of the exchange rate, without taking into account the cost of installing a stove in the steam room.

If we talk about modifications of Feringer models that are capable of providing Russian bath conditions, then there are three categories:

1. Malyutka steam room for small steam rooms (up to 16 cubic meters);
2. Classic – intended exclusively for medium volumes (up to 18 cubic meters);
3. Harmony, used for steam rooms with a volume of up to 30 cubic meters.

All these installations are characterized by the same internal structure. In this case, only the dimensions differ. They are equipped with solid cast-iron doors, glass doors or a panoramic screen.

Please note that the settings of the “Lamel” model were predefined in a completely separate category. Like the above models, they are also capable of creating the atmosphere of a Russian steam room. This equipment is entirely made of AISI 430 stainless steel, the thickness of which is 3 mm. This option involves installing a stove for a bath, with both an open and a closed heater, with a stacked or solid lamella. The stone that is used in the manufacturing process of equipment is soapstone, jadeite, coil and a host of other combinations. At the same time, the thickness of the finish can be extremely varied.

Heating systems with open heaters

Note that Feringer wood-burning sauna stoves are characterized by the presence of an open heater - the “Golden Ratio” model. In the table below, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the main technical parameters of this heating equipment.

Please note that prices are for product options equipped with a standard clear glass door. Moreover, it is possible to install a panoramic screen.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the main advantages of Feringer ovens:

• Attractive appearance;
• High level of energy efficiency of equipment;
• The ability to directly control the air supply during equipment operation;
• Fire safety Fehringer.

It should be noted that the shortcomings of Feringer furnaces can hardly be identified, otherwise they are simply absent. This is due to special two-year testing. During each test, shortcomings were identified, which were subsequently refined and eliminated. Moreover, consumer reviews also indicate the high quality of the equipment, as well as the convenience of its operation.

How to drown

Due to the originality of the design - the absence of grates, the loading and ignition of firewood is different. Firewood is required in short lengths, filling the volume. You can use either whole or chopped logs. Before ignition, open the dampers on the chimney and door. Close the purge valve (if equipped) and the lower gate. They lay firewood and set it on fire. After the fire, a hum is heard, this means an excess of oxygen, the combustion is very strong. The gate on the door is closed, and when the hum disappears, the optimal value has been reached. With a chimney height of 8 meters and above, adjustment is made with a damper located on the chimney until the hum is eliminated.

Sauna stove "Harmony"

The “Harmony” sauna stove is a good choice for connoisseurs of Russian steam baths. This sauna stove incorporates the best developments used by enthusiasts to eliminate the shortcomings inherent in most metal stoves.

The Harmony stove has a closed, heat-insulated heater. A phytocontainer is installed on the stove itself. An evaporator and economizer (with controlled convection) at the chimney outlet are added as additional accessories.

The stove does not overheat the steam room and heats the stones well. The large mass of the stove and the closed heater make the stove quite inertial - heating and cooling the stove takes a long time. The large mass of firewood and the “top ignition” system allow the stove to operate on one load for several hours (depending on the quality of the firewood). The volume of the heater is designed for 120 kg of stones. The panoramic door of the Harmony oven has an insert made of heat-resistant ROBAX glass.

We personally tested this oven. You can see the test results below.

Advantages of the Harmony stove

• stamped firebox made of heat-resistant stainless steel AISI 409 steel 3-4mm thick;
• the casing, made of a single sheet of metal, fits freely onto the furnace body without fastening;
• door with seal and heat-resistant Robax glass;
• protective screens in the firebox, increasing the service life of the stove;
• grateless firebox;
• closed container for a large volume of stones;
• presence of a phytocontainer;
• presence of an evaporator;
• the presence of a “steam gun”.
