Sauna stove No. 05 complete with tank

The comfort, benefits and cost-effectiveness of bath procedures largely depend on the quality of the stove.
Therefore, the choice of a heating device intended for heating a bath should be treated with special care and responsibility. If you have any doubts regarding the selection of one or another model from a wide range of similar units, we suggest considering the functionality of the Troika stove.

With the help of this heating device in the steam room you can create a Finnish sauna mode . However, such a modern, domestically produced unit is best suited for creating a microclimate with moist, saturated steam, typical of Russian baths . A seemingly simple stove can produce excellent power, and to improve the external aesthetics of the device, you can make a spectacular brick cladding.

Stainless steel models

The updated models, made of stainless steel, are distinguished by the fact that their heat-transfer surface area is approximately doubled.
In the manufacturing process of such Troika furnaces, high-quality scale-resistant steel is used, which is sufficiently ductile so that cracks do not form on the body. Thanks to all this, the weight of the devices was halved, but the service life remained the same. In addition, the structures are additionally equipped with stiffening ribs that increase their strength. Important information! Such stoves are designed for brick lining. A convection control function is provided, which means that the climate of a real Russian bath is created in the steam room.

This model range consists of four items; let’s look at their characteristics.

Table No. 4. Comparative characteristics of models made of stainless steel

Installation features

Installation of Troika cannot be called a simple process. This is due to the large weight of the structure - from 120 to 360 kg. That is, you cannot do without a foundation that is strong and resistant to increased loads. If the foundation was not built during the construction of the bathhouse, an alternative can be a reinforced concrete slab, the thickness of which will depend on the mass of the stove - from 15 to 20 cm.

When laying a foundation, the width and length of which should be 15 cm greater than the dimensions of the structure, it should be taken into account that it will be necessary to maintain a distance between the wall and the lined stove - about 30 cm. If this is not possible, the walls are protected by installing a sheet of asbestos cardboard.

To ensure the necessary waterproofing, the foundation is covered with two layers of roofing material. After this, they begin laying out the basement or underground part of the furnace. For this, any brick (solid) can be used. The bricks are connected to each other using cement-sand mortar. If the project provides for a supply ventilation device, a ventilation pipe is installed in the base.

To construct a chimney, it is best to use a “sandwich” pipe, which is subsequently lined with bricks to maintain the unity of style with the stove

What is the beauty of Tver heaters

The Troika line of stoves, Tver, among similar products, stands out as particularly massive, since high-alloy steel with a thickness of 8-40 mm was used for production. Such a considerable thickness in the area of ​​the combustion chamber significantly increases the heat transfer and service life of the product (up to 15 years), preventing the metal from burning out at high temperatures.

Since the weight of the product reaches several hundred kilograms, to facilitate movement when installing the stove, the Troika bathhouses were equipped with wheels. For lovers of the Russian steam room, stoves are made in various modifications, including with an open heater and a mesh for stones, as well as with the ability to heat water.

The large volume of loaded stones – up to 250 kg – makes the atmosphere in the Russian steam room optimally meeting the highest criteria, providing air heating to 70 ºС and a humidity level of up to 80% in 2 hours. During this time, the stones can heat up to 500 ºС. And the water, overcoming several layers of stones, is broken into small drops, which as a result produces fine, light steam for which Russian baths are so famous.

Tver furnace equipment is also the safest: furnaces lined with brick or lined with soapstone are not capable of causing burns or harm to health. Minimal maintenance functions: the channel and window are cleaned once every five years, and ash is regularly thrown out after heating. A well-written installation guide for the Troika sauna stove makes its installation as easy as possible, even for people who have never performed such work before.

Models in soapstone

Elite "Troika" stoves, designed for use in Russian baths. Soapstone is a stone of natural origin, characterized by good heat capacity, increased thermal conductivity and aesthetics. This material itself is neutral, so people suffering from allergies tolerate it well. The category includes four stoves.

Model range overview

Almost all stoves from the Tver manufacturer are designed for subsequent brick lining. Some buyers are put off by the prospect of extra expenses and the need to build a solid foundation. But such models also have their advantages. The structure becomes truly monolithic, and the brick casing makes the microclimate in the steam room soft and maximally beneficial for the body.

Stoves come in a wide range of designs and sizes. The volume of water tanks also varies. For example, models marked 01 and 05 are capable of heating up to 72 liters of water. The tank of model 02 is designed for 80 liters of water. In any case, the tanks are located in the front of the stove, which simplifies the process of filling with water and allows the stove to be installed in rooms with low ceilings.

"Troika" 05 - an affordable and reliable solution for a small bathhouse

Don’t want to complicate the task of equipping a bathhouse with a brick screen? It is worth paying attention to models that do not require a protective casing. For example, the Barrel 1P model, designed for full heating of a steam room with an area of ​​30 cubic meters. The design of the stove is made of low-alloy 10 mm steel and painted with a special enamel that is resistant to maximum temperatures. The dimensions of the stove, despite its heavy weight (360) kg, are quite modest - 80x70x150 cm, which allows it to be installed in a small room.

"Troika" 04 differs in the finishing method. Soapstone is used as a finishing material, making the air in the steam room almost healing. The stove weighs 220 kg; after cladding, the weight of the structure reaches 450 kg. Installed in steam rooms with an area of ​​10 to 20 cubic meters.

Are you looking for the most compact solution for your home bath? The best option would be model 07. The Troika’s dimensions are only 50x50 cm. It does not have a remote firebox; the water tank is installed on a pipe. Convection is also provided, creating a unique bath microclimate in the steam room.

Troika models equipped with a mesh are also deservedly popular. Instead of brickwork, stones serve as protection against aggressive heating of metal, allowing the air in the steam room to be heated efficiently and evenly.

Are you setting up a sauna inside a residential building? Then you should opt for the Troika, which runs on gas rather than wood. There are several advantages to such solutions:

• no need for special maintenance;
• four degrees of protection (from attenuation, voltage surges, surges in fuel pressure, lack of draft necessary for optimal operation of the stove);
• the ability to control the operation of the Troika using a temperature sensor, which is set to the required temperature and can maintain it for several days.

"Troika" running on gas

Advice! Gas models are relevant not only for home but also for commercial use. “Troika” operates in standby mode (at a temperature of 55-60 degrees), and before the arrival of visitors it warms up to the required temperature in the shortest possible time.

Adjustable convection ovens

Not everyone is happy with installing a brick screen. Therefore, the designers of Troika stoves have developed models that do not require the construction of screens. They are equipped with a specially designed casing and a temperature control system. After the steam room has reached the desired temperature, by turning the valve, all the heat is directed to heating the stones. In this way, a normal microclimate and well-heated stones are achieved.

This is the Troika 6RM1 model from different angles

The technical characteristics of Troika metal stoves with a closed heater are summarized in the table.

Technical characteristics of Troika ovens with adjustable convection (to increase the size of the table, right-click on the picture)

The large mass of stones and thermal inertia make it possible not only to maintain the temperature at the proper level for several hours, but also to dry the premises well after the steam room.

Sauna stove No. 05 complete with tank

The configuration of the “TROIKA” “05” and “05 MINI” stoves is optimized for small steam rooms. The top of the heater allows you to easily and conveniently supply water to the stones. The steam produced on the stones goes up, without the risk of burning anyone (relevant for small steam rooms). A voluminous, non-ventilated stove allows you to produce a large amount of steam; the thick metal of the firebox and smoke channels will ensure a long service life of the stove (more than 15 years).

Supplying water to the lower hot zone of the heater produces a large amount of light, invisible steam.

The oven is designed for brick lining. Brick is the material most suitable for lining stoves and creating the mildest climate in a steam room; it gives thermal radiation close to our body, like solar heat.

Brickwork around the stove:

• provides maximum reduction of infrared radiation from metal;
• allows you to obtain the climate of a Russian bath and maintain it for a long time;
• increases heat capacity, and due to enormous thermal inertia allows you to quickly and completely dry the steam room;
• extinguishes all hard thermal radiation from hot metal;
• evens out the climate;
• increases the heating rate of the bath with proper installation;
• guarantees fire safety.

Our masonry stoves look beautiful and are highly reliable.

Features of the “TROIKA” “05” and “05 MINI” stoves:

• Metal 10 mm thick, capable of supporting a large mass of stones without deforming.
• Versatility of installation - the stove heats three rooms at the same time. Each element of the stove is located in its own room (the firebox is from the dressing room, the heater is in the steam room, the tank is in the washing compartment).
• The lack of convection flow in the heater means hotter stones, and as a result, invisible light steam.
• The stove is equipped with a cast iron combustion door.
• Supply of water to the lower hot zone of the stones (temperature of the lower part of the stones is 500°C).
• Volumetric tank (72 liters with a “05” stove and 51 liters with a “05 MINI” stove) made of stainless steel, which is easy to remove, wash or put away for the winter.
• The stove is equipped with a valve that allows you to heat the stove in different modes (the “05 MINI” stove is not equipped with a valve).
• The large diameter of the chimney ensures stable draft in all weather conditions and eliminates the need to clean it.
• Chimney turns made of solid sheets of steel with a thickness of 10 and 14 mm.
• The chimney rotation system has an inspection hatch.
• The large front panel provides additional warmth to the dressing room.
• The beveled back of the heater allows you to conveniently apply water to the stones.
• The volumetric firebox with a length of 900 mm allows you to burn wood up to 870 mm.

To increase the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the furnace, it uses the technology of afterburning pyrolysis gases. With the help of a special air duct in the furnace, a supply of secondary air heated to a high temperature is organized, which ensures the combustion of pyrolysis gases formed during the combustion of firewood.

Brick screen stoves

There are six modifications of the stove in this group - from inexpensive models with a simple “face” to those decorated with ornaments. You can put them in small steam rooms - 12 cubic meters, and in large ones up to a decent 30-40 cubic meters. The heaters are internal and can hold a lot of stones. When used correctly, high humidity is easily maintained and the brooms do not dry out.

Technical characteristics of Troika stoves with brick lining (to increase the size of the table, right-click on the picture)

The Troika 4P model has a lower price and weight: it is made of 8 mm thick steel (in loaded areas the steel thickness is 20 mm).

Cheaper modifications are equipped with cast iron doors without glass as standard. If desired, they will supply you with glass (you need to choose according to the size of the combustion outlet). All units are equipped with a damper on the pipe (handle on the smoke pipe). This is a big plus: an additional regulator of draft and combustion intensity. Moreover, you don’t have to go to the dressing room, which is not always desirable.

If necessary, water can be heated using a stove: they are equipped with heat exchangers and a remote tank. Only in this case you need to look: the stoves have high power, and whether the water will boil quickly if there is no flow.

Brick-lined stoves - monumental

The troika stove models “5P Gothic” and “3P” simultaneously heat the room from which the firebox is produced. For this purpose, there are openings on the front panel above the door that are adjustable by a flap. The air flow escaping into the dressing room (rest room) is in no way connected with convection in another part of the oven and does not take heat away from the stones.

Strengths and weaknesses of the Troika stove

There are many positive aspects when using this device. Rapid heating of the unit is possible only in the summer; in winter, you will need to spend up to three hours of your time to properly heat the bathhouse. In order for the steam room to function all night, you will need a minimum of firewood. In addition, satisfied users claim that this inexpensive device is ready to work with a vengeance.

With all the advantages, the Troika stove also has certain disadvantages. Due to its rather heavy weight, which only four physically developed men can handle, problems arise with transporting the device. When making an inconspicuous-looking stove, manufacturers hoped that it could be decorated with brickwork.

For the person who purchased such a unit, there will still be additional costs associated with the purchase of material and hiring a specialist. In addition, having rather thick walls, the Troika stove slowly releases heat, which cannot be said about thinner-walled metal sauna devices.

Furnace lining

In addition to laying the foundation, direct installation of the stove structure and its connection to the chimney, installation work in most cases includes lining with refractory bricks.

At the first stage, a clay solution is prepared, which is used to make spherical samples, which are shaped into a cake and left to dry for 10 days. Samples are made in different ratios of clay and fine-grained sand, preferably mountain sand and carefully sifted from debris. The proportions are as follows:

• 1 sample: clay;
• 2 sample: 9 parts clay and 1 sand;
• 3 sample: sand and clay in a ratio of 1 to 3;
• 4 sample: 3 parts sand, 1 part clay.

Dried samples are tested for strength. To do this, each cake is raised 1 meter above a hard surface and released. An unbroken sample is the optimal mixing option for brickwork. The solution is mixed, filled with water and left for 3 days to impart the necessary elasticity.

You can also use a ready-made mixture, sold at any hardware store. The clay-sand composition is convenient to use, but it has a significant drawback - the ratio of components is not always stable. In this case, the composition is brought to the ideal level by adding pure clay (if the solution turns out to be “lean”) or sand (if the solution turns out to be greasy). To increase the strength of the masonry, you can add cement to the solution - 400 grams per bucket. The average consumption of the finished mixture is 1 bag per 80 bricks.

1. Before starting work, the material is moistened with water. This will improve the quality of adhesion between clay and sand and brick.
2. The solution is applied on top of the previous level.
3. The first level of quality refractory bricks is made from whole bricks. They start from the far corner. At the next level, use ¾ of the block, subsequently observing this order. This makes it possible to connect the rows with the highest quality possible.
4. During the finishing work, all additional furnace elements are installed.
5. An opening necessary for further maintenance of the stove is left in the sash area.
6. The masonry is carried out up to the upper level of the stove structure, but it is necessary to leave a small gap between the brick wall and the metal structure (8-10 cm). The gap is necessary for uniform heating of the brick screen and proper air circulation.

The stove is started after installing the chimney, starting at low temperatures for 20-30 minutes

Instructions for lining a sauna stove are presented in the video:

The lineup

Depending on what kind of bathhouse the owner plans to arrange, the appropriate equipment is selected. This question is considered before purchasing a stove, since a model intended for a Russian bathhouse is in no case suitable for a Japanese or Finnish bathhouse. To meet the needs of users, stove makers from Tver have produced stoves for:

• ofuro;
• saunas;
• Russian bath;
• B-B-Q.

The development of bath stoves was primarily focused on the production of equipment for Russian baths, therefore, among the wide model range, there are various variations of Troika stoves, which most effectively provide the most comfortable conditions specifically for a traditional Slavic bath. There are several variations on the theme of stove equipment for traditional steam rooms:

• for lining with bricks to stop convection and create soft thermal radiation;
• heaters with a mesh for laying stones in such quantities that the steam is really light;
• stoves lined with soapstone, chosen not only for its excellent heat transfer qualities, but also for its pleasant appearance. Facing made from such stone can be used for decades without reducing its performance and decorative qualities.

The variety of shapes and functions makes the choice difficult even for avid bathhouse attendants, because you can purchase stoves that will not only warm you up, provide steam, but also decorate your bathhouse. Among the decorated options, the following stand out:

• barrel stove;
• barbecue oven;
• stove with metal pattern;
• with painting in the style of Khokhloma;
• with painting in a Gothic spirit.

Pros and cons of Troika stoves: consumer reviews

In winter, “Troika” melts in about three hours, in summer – faster. For bathing procedures, you don’t need a lot of firewood, and the heat lasts until the morning. Basically, people are happy: the stove is inexpensive, and it plows like two people.

Troika stoves, of course, also have disadvantages. Firstly, lifting the stove is difficult even for four people, which makes transporting it from the warehouse to the bathhouse problematic. Secondly, such a stove must be lined with bricks (this is what it is designed for), and this is an additional expense and often the need to hire a specialist. And, of course, due to the thickness of the metal, the Troika sauna stove begins to release its heat later than a traditional “bare” metal stove with thin walls. In general, that's all. Otherwise, the stove is not bad, and is quite worth its price.

The Troika range of stoves is quite wide - you can choose an inexpensive but powerful stove of any functionality and size:

Pellet burner 15M

If you install such a burner in a heater, then the entire firebox will be reduced to igniting it (the burner) (this takes about 15-20 minutes). Then the device is heated without human intervention for 5-10 hours. What is typical is that the burner is compatible not only with metal, but also with brick sauna stoves. In the second case, it literally heats the brick red-hot, which allows you to get high-quality light steam.

Pellet burner 15M

Dimensions of the pellet burner are 110x50x25 cm, power is 15 kW. The weight of the device is 12.5 kg, and the consumption of solid fuel is 3.3. The average cost of a burner is 18,600 rubles.

Design Features

The Troika stove has design differences from other types of sauna stoves. And the first of them is the diameter of the chimney. For “Troikas” it is 159 mm. This allows the stove to operate in any weather conditions, in which other equipment may have problems filling the steam room with heat.

The cast iron door is not afraid of high temperatures. The same can be said about the grate. Some models can be equipped with a heat exchanger, which allows you to warm up not only the steam room, but also the dressing room, shower room and other rooms.

The chimney is equipped with a damper designed to comply with current safety standards. If it is blocked, carbon monoxide will still be released into the chimney. Another design feature of all Troika models is the simultaneous and uniform combustion of all logs in the firebox.

The thickness of the low-alloy steel walls deserves special attention. Metal 8 mm thick is used for the walls, the upper part is made of steel 10 mm thick. This makes the stove truly reliable and durable.

Many owners of bathhouses equipped with stoves from other manufacturers complain about the small amount of stones that can be placed in the stove - 40-80 kg. There is no such problem with Troika. You can put up to 250 kg of stone in it, which allows you to maintain the optimal temperature in the steam room for a long time and save on fuel.

A large number of stones retain the heat received from hot metal longer

Advantages and disadvantages of Troika sauna stoves

Design specialists are constantly working on modifying furnaces that are already in production, and also developing new models with improved characteristics, based on feedback and wishes from consumers. Therefore, engineers managed to create heating devices that reproduce the microclimate of a classic Russian bath with “spiritual” steam and a mild microclimate.

Stoves with tunnel fireboxes will perfectly heat not only a steam room, but also a dressing room.

Installed at a permanent place of operation, furnaces practically do not require preventive maintenance. It is enough to check and empty the ash drawer, and also check the cleanliness of the chimney once a season. As a rule, if high-quality hardwood firewood is used, then serious cleaning will not be required in less than five years. The steel structure of the furnace itself is designed to operate for at least 15 years, but, as a rule, it will last much longer.

The stoves are easy to install and operate. It is quite possible to install the heating device on your own, since it comes with detailed instructions, complete with photographic materials.

Models designed for subsequent cladding allow them to be used as a built-in firebox in brick kilns of various configurations.

The devices are quite economical in fuel consumption, but retain heat well. So, if you heat the bathhouse in the evening, then with good insulation it will be warm until the morning.

The wide range of stoves from this manufacturer, as well as the range of prices for products that start from 30 thousand rubles, allow you to choose the right model even for a family with average income. Not cheap, of course, but the purchase is made for long-term use, and once in a lifetime you can afford it.

The combustion doors of Troika heating appliances can be glazed or made entirely of cast iron. The ovens provide easy adjustment of the convection of heated air. And to create high-quality steam, there is a special bowl with a channel for water to enter the lower zone of the heater. In this area, the heating temperature reaches 650 degrees. Having passed through all the stone layers, light, crushed steam will enter the steam room.

In addition to wet steam, using Troika stoves in the steam room you can create the microclimate of a Finnish sauna; for this you only need to correctly configure the convection flows and eliminate excess humidity.

The advantages of the stoves also include the possibility of filling them with stones with a total filling mass of 100 to 250 kg. Due to such a large volume, the devices are able to retain heat for a long time. Compared to Troika stoves, analogues from other manufacturers have more modest volumes of stone filling capacity, which varies from 50 to 80 kg.

The heating temperature of the stones reaches 500 degrees. Troika stoves use a process specially developed and patented by the manufacturer for heating stones in a heater from five sides at once. That is, all parts of the heater that separate the laid stones from the fire have a maximum thermal load. At the same time, the manufacturer did not try to make this load more “gentle”, since the task was set to create devices that are capable of operating in extreme conditions without deformation and destruction. Therefore, even such a volume as 200 kg is heated to high temperatures and vaporization is achieved in just two hours.

The independent installation of a heating device can be complicated by its heavy weight, which can reach up to 330 kg - this factor can be attributed to the disadvantages of the product. However, all heating devices, including heating stoves made of metal and having cast iron elements in their design, have a considerable mass. Therefore, when installing the stove, in any case, one or more assistants will be required, depending on the weight of the selected model.

Some models are equipped with a heat exchanger, which immediately solves the problem of a constant supply of hot water needed for bath procedures.

For the manufacture of different designs of furnaces and their sections, low-alloy steel with a thickness of 10, 20, and for some parts even 40 mm is used. Stainless steel with a thickness of 5, 8 and 10 mm is also used. Such thicknesses provide a multiple safety margin, which significantly increases the “longevity” of the device.

All Troika stoves use the principle of flame extraction - this effect is achieved thanks to the correct ratio of the parameters of the holes for the passage of the flame, the diameter of the chimney and the shape of the combustion chamber.

If we talk about the aesthetic side, then almost all stoves have a presentable appearance. There is even a model with Khokhloma painting applied to the façade. Some stoves are coated with heat-resistant enamel or lined with soapstone slabs.

Another important advantage of purchasing Troika stoves is the ability to ensure delivery and installation of the device by the company’s specialists, who, if necessary, travel to any region of the country.

Models for ofuro

For those who don’t know, ofuro is a traditional Japanese bathhouse, which is a wooden barrel filled with water. A stove is needed here to heat the water.

Ofuro

Models for ofuro can be of two types:

submersible (installed inside a barrel, working under water); external (located on the side or standing separately).

The line is represented by only two models; let’s look at the characteristics of each of them.

Model for ofuro (first version)

Model for ofuro (first version)

High-quality oven made of AISI 340 steel (the latter is not subject to corrosion, as it is classified as food grade stainless steel). It is distinguished by the presence of stiffening ribs, ease of cleaning from ash and special legs for fastening to the floor. Model dimensions – 80x30x110 cm, weight – 50 kg. The maximum volume of water that can be heated is 2,800 liters. The diameter of the chimney pipe is 11 cm.

Model for ofuro (second option)

Model for ofuro (second option)

Model for ofuro (second option with open door)

The characteristics here are almost the same, the stove differs from the previous one only in weight (46 kg), dimensions (58x44x60 cm) and maximum water volume (2,300 l).

Gas stoves "Troika"

Gas models are popular in those baths that are located inside the house. Such furnaces do not require any special maintenance, but they have four degrees of protection:

• from voltage surges;
• from attenuation;
• from lack of traction;
• from surges in fuel pressure.

Another advantage is that the user, having previously set the temperature sensor to the required temperature, will be able to use the steam room even for several days in a row, without fear that the temperature will drop (the device itself controls these parameters). Gas models are also great for commercial baths. So, in standby mode (for example, at 55-60°C) “Troika” can remain for quite a long time, and if necessary, the temperature rises to the desired value in a record short time.

The burner is quite easy to control - you just need to press one button and adjust the temperature with the rotary knob. Even an untrained user can handle this.

Table No. 6. Comparative characteristics of gas furnaces

Why do you need brick lining for the stove?

Most models of bath stoves of the Troika brand are designed for subsequent lining with brickwork, since this is the best option for wet rooms.

In addition, brick is a natural material that does not emit toxic fumes when exposed to moisture and high temperatures. It is able to create a comfortable microclimate in the steam room, as it softens the harsh, intense thermal radiation coming from the heated metal walls of the stove, making it more comfortable for human perception.

Stove for the Russian bath "Troika", lined with brick.

So, the advantage of a brick furnace lining is that it allows:

— control convection air flows in the steam room due to the presence of special doors and cavities in the masonry;

- create a microclimate of a real Russian bath with long-term preservation of temperature and humidity, or an atmosphere of dry heat of a sauna;

— stop heating the air in the steam room, while continuing to heat the heater to maintain heat in the room for a longer time;

— quickly dry the steam room due to high thermal inertia;

— extinguish hard thermal radiation coming from hot metal walls;

— make the operation of the stove safe for visitors to the steam room;

— equip a reliable and aesthetic structure that will decorate the bathhouse.

A few words need to be said about the importance of controlling convection air flows for a bath room.

It is known that the Russian bath does not require too high temperatures, amounting to 65–75 degrees with fairly high air humidity. Therefore, the most important factor for creating a microclimate in a Russian bath is the circulation of heated air in a steam room.

The brickwork covers the metal walls, which also closes the convection openings, thus stopping convection almost completely. At the same time, the movement of heated air is necessary to create the microclimate of a Finnish sauna, which, if desired, can be created by opening access to hot air into the room.

A stove lined with brick - doors are provided in the walls of the masonry to allow access to hot air into the room.

If it is intended to create different microclimate options in the steam room, then it is necessary to provide special doors in the masonry to organize the entry of highly heated air into the room from the space formed between the metal and brick walls.

The design of the basic model of such a furnace

Many bathhouse attendants like the Troika stove for its thickness of metal and the ability to load logs up to 80 cm in length - there is no need to saw them or look for a specific format. In addition, the doors of the Troika oven are made of cast iron, as are the grates. They are especially resistant to high temperatures and do not deform even over the years. Also, in such a stove it is quite easy to regulate the convection of hot air - with the help of special windows in the body, and this cannot be achieved with an open heater.

The stone load in such a stove can even reach 250 kg, and the steam room heats up in just two hours. The Troika's tank is removable and can be easily removed and washed as needed.

To obtain high-quality “Russian” steam, the Troika is equipped with a receiving bowl for supplying water to the lower part of the heater - so that the liquid does not get on the metal at all. So the steam will pass from the hottest lower part of the heater, where in the heat the temperature can reach 650˚C, and will pass through the upper layers into the steam room much more crushed and lighter. But you can also heat the bathhouse in the classic Finnish sauna mode - it’s all just a matter of controlling the convection flow.
