The former is the oldest, but despite this it can be found in our day. The bath "smoke" furnace with a stack formation, and the smoke goes through a small window cm. The furnace stopped when heaters properly will get warm then aired a bath, walls sprayed with water, tightly sealed windows and doors and sprayed water heaters for education steam. This bath is a special spirit, thanks to exposure to smoke from the wooden house built by guests.
The Baths "In a white way" or smokeless baths smoke from the furnaces to be relegated to special-pipe chimney, so the air rating is not contaminated by smoke, not required Ventilate rating and bath water to wash the wall. These baths can be built during the parks. These advantages variety Baths smokeless is the most widely spread throughout the country.
