DIY sauna, part 1

The Finnish bath, or sauna, differs from the Russian bath in that it has a relatively high temperature (up to 120 ° C) and low humidity, since it does not dous in water – a person simply sweat, and then slag harmful to the body are removed. The obvious advantage of the sauna is not necessary to think about the drainage of the used water and about high humidity. Therefore, it is not surprising that in recent years, saunas have been arranged not only in country houses and cottages, but even in ordinary well -maintained apartments.

When designing a sauna, you need to take into account a few points – firstly, determine its area. Typically, one person needs no more than three cubic meters of steamer volume – a larger volume is inappropriate due to the long time of heating and overspending fuel or electricity. Secondly, it is necessary to decide on the power of the heater-for warming the sauna you need 0.5-1 kW per cubic meter of thermal power. In the event that an electric tank is used, its efficiency is close to 100%, so the electric power should be approximately the same. In houses with gas or stove heating, the total electrical consumption usually does not exceed 4 kW – this must be taken into account when using an electric tank. If the house uses an electric stove, then the heater power can be increased to 6-9 kW, while it must be connected to the same phase as the electric stove.

Important point: with this connection, it is not recommended to use an electric stove and an electric tag at the same time. Thirdly, for a sauna in a brick or concrete room, ventilation is needed to avoid dampness and condensate. In wooden, it is optional. Fourthly, you need to provide a shower or a washing cabin for rinsing after the sauna. If the sauna is heated with firewood, then preliminary a stove stove is laid out before all the arrangement work. This is better to do it by hiring a specialist.
