Quartz stones for use in a wet/dry sauna, weight 20 kg, packed in a plastic bucket. Produced in Russia.
Application:
Quartz stones are used in a wet/dry sauna stove for heat accumulation. The stones release heat to bring sauna air, walls, benches and ceiling to the required temperature. When splashed on heated sauna stones, water evaporates to deliver hot steam.
Benefits:
Quartz is one of the key elements in the earth's crust. When heated or quickly cooled, it produces atomic oxygen and fills the hot room with ozone.
Physical properties:
Density: 2,600 kg/m3
Specific heat capacity: 0.75 kJ/(kg°С)
Thermal expansion: 6.9×10-6 (°С)-1
Structure: fine to coarse grains
Compression strength: 2,000 MPa
Melting point: 1,570 °С
Colour: white opaque to translucent
Use:
Before placing in an electric stove or wood burning stove, wash the stones to clean dust and air-dry them, remove small or damaged stones. Leave some distance between the stones to allow air circulation. Put larger flat stones on the bottom, and smaller stones on the top.
In an electric stove, the distance between the heaters should be the same. Electric stove heaters should be fully covered with stones (5–8 cm over heaters is recommended).
