How to turn on a gas boiler correctly - step-by-step do-it-yourself instructions

The boiler starts up independently after a long period of inactivity outside the heating season, the burner is turned off automatically or goes out during wind (if there is no automatic start), also after any repair work. The initial commissioning of a new gas boiler should be carried out exclusively by a specialist who will put the appropriate mark in the boiler unit’s passport. Without it, the boiler warranty is void.

However, even starting a previously configured boiler is not such a short process; according to the operating rules for hot water boilers, it requires a more thorough approach: proper filling of the system, bleeding of air, pressure testing and monitoring of indicators. All this is done to avoid problems and emergency situations during the heating season.

Gas water heaters Atem Zhytomyr - technical properties of floor models

What attracts most domestic consumers when purchasing heating equipment is that the price is not expensive. Most owners of privatized houses will be able to afford devices from common foreign brands due to their high cost. But everyone wants to buy themselves a simple and at the same time reliable boiler at the best prices. Such equipment can be found under the Atem brand, under which they are made and supplied to the market. The more common and common name for the heater is gas boiler Zhitomir .

Floor-standing gas boilers Conord

The Russian company Conord, whose head office is based in Rostov-on-Don, has been producing heating equipment for about half a century.

Analysis of trends in the development of modern heating technology and Russian operating conditions led Conord engineers to a completely different understanding of the tasks of heating equipment.

Unlike Western manufacturers, who rely on increasing functionality and the presence of additional systems, Russian technologists have tried to simplify their gas boilers as much as possible, eliminating all insignificant components and parts from the design.

As a result, a number of floor-standing energy-independent boilers were obtained, optimal for use in Russian conditions. They are reliable and stable, the lack of additional functions has not somewhat deteriorated performance, but, on the contrary, has increased the demand and preference of users.

About the manufacturer and its products

The Atem brand and its Zhytomyr gas water heaters have been known and available to customers for more than 27 years. Undoubtedly, from the beginning of production to the present time, the products have changed a lot. The company's manufacturers are constantly improving units to satisfy all the needs and desires of consumers. This is precisely why Atem is considered a leader in the field of heating equipment in the market of our country.

High quality and durability are key indicators related to boilers of this brand.

Atem products have been repeatedly awarded with various awards. Let’s say, “European quality level”, “Golden Mark”. The units are marked with the “Highest Standard” quality mark.

Gas water heaters Atem Zhytomyr are intended for houses equipped with chimneys. The assortment range is the widest, and this provides a possible buyer with a chance to choose a good model.

Description of some models

The Conrod range of gas boilers is represented by several main models:

  • KSts-G-S is a single-circuit type boiler equipped with SIT automation. The power of the unit varies from 8 to 30 kW. Water can heat up to 60-90 degrees, operating pressure can range from 0.2 to 1.9 bar.
  • KSts-G-N is also a single-circuit type model, but with thermo-hydraulic automation. The boilers are produced with a power from 10 to 30 kW; cold rolled steel was used to manufacture the cylindrical heat exchanger.
  • KSts-GV-S is a two-circuit type unit with SIT automation and a power of at least 12 kW. The boiler fully functions when connected to a system with natural and forced circulation.
  • KSts-GV-N is a double-circuit model of gas boilers, equipped with thermo-hydraulic automatics. The boiler power ranges from 12 to 30 kW. There is a function to turn off the gas in the absence of traction. With a short-term reverse thrust, the device normalizes operation.

Autonomous heating systems are becoming increasingly popular.

The development of private housing construction, the emergence of remote residential areas in which there is no possibility of connecting to centralized heat supply lines, contribute to an increase in the number of users of independent home heating systems.

High demand has provoked an increase in supply - there is a huge selection of heating equipment on the market, manufactured in different countries and with different prices.

At the same time, the prices practically do not correlate with the performance qualities of the equipment, which complicates the choice and requires some knowledge regarding the qualities of gas boilers.

Boiler specifications

Looking at the owners' reviews of gas water heaters Zhitomir

, it becomes clear why this manufacturer’s equipment stands out so much, why it is so in demand and important.

The equipment is distinguished by a large number of characteristic positive properties when compared with similar competitors. Yes, like any other devices, boilers of this brand also have disadvantages, but in comparison with the large number of advantages, any inaccuracies are insignificant.

Let us note the main positive qualities that Atem gas water heaters have:

  1. A heat exchanger made of steel, which makes it possible to transfer to water the maximum heat energy that is generated when fuel is burned.
  2. Full compliance with all Western standards.
  3. Good and reliable burner design. Thanks to it, the heating unit is considered highly efficient and emits a minimum of substances that are harmful to health during gas combustion.
  4. Using good automation from a foreign manufacturer. This makes it possible to achieve better technical parameters.
  5. Simple and convenient control and operation.
  6. Beautiful design.
  7. Small design dimensions.

The device has a variety of settings that allow you to adjust the required temperature level. There are installed sensors that monitor the constant operation of the heating structure.

Technical parameters of Atem gas water heaters

Atem company produces:

  • gas boilers for floor Zhytomyr ;
  • wall devices (parapet).

Units installed on the floor are also divided into single-circuit and double-circuit. Devices with 2 circuits heat water for two or three consumers at low costs. See the technical properties of all Zhytomyr floor-mounted gas water heaters all together.

The productivity of the hot water circuit for floor-standing installations with 2 lines is from 175 to 1400 l/h with a temperature difference of the heated liquid of 35 °C. The device can be equipped with a circulation pump, which is mounted as a function. Parameters of a number of models of double-circuit Zhytomyr parapet type in the table.

Parapet 2-circuit units provide warm water flow from 160 to 345 l/h with a liquid temperature difference of 35 °C.

From the tables we conclude and make sure that the wall-mounted and floor-standing boilers of this manufacturer are adapted to the conditions of low gas pressure in pipelines, and this is their big advantage. A significant disadvantage is the maximum coolant pressure in the heat exchanger, which is possibly very low. For boilers installed on the floor, this is up to 2 kgf/m2, and for suspended boilers, up to 0.7 kgf/m2. Then how can foreign analogues operate at a system pressure of up to 3 kgf/m? Thanks to this, you can make sure that Atem gas equipment is more suitable for gravity systems and small houses with one or two floors.

Professionals do not recommend purchasing wall devices for two-story cottage buildings, since the pressure simply will not be enough for the system to work well.

When, in addition to heating, you also want to receive warm water, it is better to choose models with 2 circuits.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Conord gas boilers include:

  • High quality assembly and manufacturing of components and parts.
  • Boiler efficiency exceeds 90%.
  • The non-volatile design allows the units to be used in any room or area.
  • The service life of boilers is at least 15 years.
  • Capable of operating at low gas pressure.
  • The manufacturer's warranty on Conord boilers is 3 years.
  • The price of the units is noticeably lower than that of other manufacturers.

The disadvantages of the units should be considered:

  • The dimensions of the boilers are quite large and require a certain amount of space for installation and maintenance.
  • The use of natural draft places increased demands on the design of the chimney and the creation of conditions for high-quality smoke removal.

Design features

You can take a look at the general structure of the Zhytomyr unit.

Installation of a gas boiler Atem Zhytomyr

The design features of the heat generator provide independence from electrical energy for absolutely all models of the company. The burner is atmospheric and single-stage, with a simple system, brand POLIDORO, bought in Italy, very reliable and durable.

The automation for Zhytomyr gas water heaters is also reliable; it is also manufactured in Italy. The EUROSIT valve is considered automated, does not depend on energy, is more common among manufacturers of heat-generating equipment; production leaders in domestic and foreign countries install it in their devices.

To transfer heat energy in the heating system of the boiler, a fire-tube heat exchanger made of steel is used. This means that high-temperature smoke gases pass through several pipes immersed in a water jacket. They transfer their heat to the liquid and come out at a temperature of 110-150 °C. The pipes have a cross-section with right angles, and this creates a larger exchange surface area and makes the boiler work more effectively. In models with 2 circuits, there are copper coils around the heat exchanger pipes to heat water for domestic needs.

Movement of smoke gases

To slow down the movement of smoke gases in flame tubes, in pipe coils of mounted and floor-mounted units, turbulators are used. Their backup function is to collect soot deposits remaining on the planes of these parts, which are placed perpendicular to the gas flows, and soot deposits almost do not stop on the walls of the pipes.

In the future, soot can be easily removed from the turbulators, just as when dismantling a heating device, they are removed from the flame tubes. A similar characteristic provides a chance for the surfaces of the flame tubes inside to remain clean and transfer heat energy well to the water jacket. Otherwise, the soot layer that settles on the walls can greatly reduce their thermal conductivity, and the temperature of the outlet gases will become higher, and the heat will go outside.

Gas water heaters Atem Zhytomyr will work well with chimneys with low draft. For this purpose, the equipment has a direct damper, which opens the way for smoke gases to escape without affecting the heat exchanger.

It works like this:

  1. Before ignition, the damper is opened. There is insufficient draft in the chimney.
  2. The valve adjustment wheel and the piezo ignition button are pressed in stages, the ignition wick lights up.
  3. The wheel is turned a couple of times, gas is supplied to the burner and it lights up.
  4. High temperature gases (up to 200 °C) begin to flow directly into the chimney. Due to the temperature difference in the chimney, the draft increases and the boiler enters operating mode.
  5. After approximately 6 minutes, the damper is closed and the liquid begins to heat up, but the high traction force remains.

A mounted gas Zhytomyr boiler without a chimney is almost similar to the design of floor-standing equipment. The difference is in the design of the chimney; in suspended units it is coaxial. This is a double-walled pipe through which gaseous, liquid and solid substances move, and street air moves towards them between the walls of the inner and outer pipes.

The burner takes oxygen for its operation not from the room, but from the street, and the combustion chamber is of a closed type. In similar foreign units, a ventilation device is built in for air circulation; in Atem boilers, the overall process is independent of energy and operates with natural draft.

Owner's review of the Zhytomyr heating boiler

Types

Conord floor-standing gas boilers do not need to be connected to the power supply. This means that the use of fans or pumps is eliminated.

The combustion chamber of all units is of an open type (atmospheric), circulation of liquids occurs either naturally or using an external circulation pump.

The fundamental difference in design is only the functional features:

  • Single-circuit boilers designed for heating.
  • Double-circuit, capable of preparing hot water for household needs simultaneously with heating the coolant for the heating system.

IMPORTANT!

Most single-circuit models can be connected to an external indirect heating boiler, which makes them capable of providing hot water to the home in larger volumes than double-circuit models.

In addition, there are differences in the design of the heat exchanger:

  • Steel heat exchangers 3mm thick.
  • Cast iron components with increased efficiency.

In addition, there are different types of control automation. These are mechanical gas supply and adjustment units.

Exist:

  • Italian SIT nodes. In the boiler marking they are designated by the letter S.
  • Thermohydraulic elements. They are designated by the letter N.

Recently, American-made components have been installed in some boiler models, which expands the range of boilers. In the marking they are designated by the letter M.

Model Atem Zhytomyr 3

Undoubtedly, the company’s assortment includes many models with different parameters. However, the sales driver is considered to be gas boiler Zhytomyr

3, so we need to analyze it in more detail.

The model stands out not only for its good price, but also for its excellent technical parameters.

The power of the unit is 10 kW. It can heat an area of ​​more than 100 m2, and this is enough for a house outside the city. As for gas use, it must be stated decisively that the equipment is economical.

Efficiency - 92%. Owner reviews of the boiler

on
gas Zhitomir 3 are usually good. Almost all customers note the small size, convenient operation and reasonable price.

Price range

Conord boilers belong to the group of inexpensive equipment. Prices for units fall within the range of 11-47 thousand rubles, which is significantly cheaper than imported units.

A big bonus is the energy independence of the boilers, which frees the user from the need to purchase a voltage stabilizer as unnecessary.

IMPORTANT!

Purchasing water filters is necessary, especially for residents of regions with hard water. You also need to enter into a guarantee agreement, which you will also have to pay.

How to light a gas boiler Zhytomyr

There is a regulator with divisions on the boiler, which must be set to zero. Then open the gas supply on the pipe in front of the boiler and press the regulator like a button and light the wick with a match. After the wick is lit, you need to hold it for 10 seconds and slowly release it. Then set the regulator to the desired compartment (approximately 2).

If you are unsure of your own actions, call the gas service. They will tell you in detail and explain how to turn on a gas boiler in Zhytomyr.

Breakdowns

Let's consider the possible breakdowns of gas water heaters in Zhytomyr, which may appear during use, and options for solving them.

All breakdowns of gas communications and gas boiler valves must be repaired only by authorized professionals.

Disruption of water movement

If the movement of water along a closed circuit is difficult or there is no water in the heating system at all, the reason may be hidden in:

  • insufficient amount of fluid in the system;
  • presence of air in the heating system;
  • water leakage from the heating system;
  • significant scale deposits.

This damage can be removed by taking the following steps:

  1. Refill the heating system with water.
  2. Release the air by filling the heating system with coolant from below.
  3. Identify and clean up fluid leaks.
  4. Clean and flush the system.

Reduced heating efficiency and increased gas consumption

If such a problem occurs, then the reason is most likely the following:

  • the heating system is installed incorrectly;
  • a lot of scale was deposited.

To get the system working, you need to:

  1. Correctly install the heating system.
  2. Clean and flush the boiler.

Condensation forms

If drops of water appear and flow onto the key burner, then most likely the reason is the low temperature of the coolant. To remove this nuisance, you need to warm up the boiler.

The burner goes out

Gas boiler Zhytomyr

does not ignite, and this means the acceptable reasons are:

  • not overheating the thermocouple;
  • low gas pressure in the system;
  • damage to the safety automatics or gas valve;
  • loosening of the thermocouple.

This breakdown can only be resolved by calling a gas service professional.

Cotton when igniting

If a pop is heard when the boiler is ignited, then most likely this indicates a poor fire connection between the ignition and key burners. Gas pressure is too low.

In this case, only a master can help.

Burner extinction

If the boiler is on gas Zhytomyr

If both the main and pilot burners go out, then the reason is poor draft. How to fix this problem? Insulate the chimney and remove air suction.

These are the main reasons why breakdowns may occur with a domestic unit.

Now gas water heaters Atem Zhytomyr

are top sellers in their own position. Good technical parameters, excellent quality and budget price make the brand’s products extremely popular. Having decided to purchase a Zhytomyr device, the consumer remains satisfied with the purchase. Due to the fact that such equipment makes it possible to organize reliable and stable heating of the house.

Basic faults

The design of Conord boilers is very simple and does not have many details. This can significantly reduce the number of weak points in the design and reduce the number of malfunctions .

The heat exchanger and ignition equipment are usually considered to be the most loaded and most likely to fail. The heat exchanger is susceptible to lime deposits. The additional layer isolates the coolant from the walls, reducing heating efficiency.

It is necessary to increase the combustion mode, which increases the load on the external part of the heat exchanger, which fails faster . The ignition equipment fails due to thermocouple failure or other reasons.

There is also a constant danger of burner nozzles becoming clogged with soot, which can be eliminated by periodically cleaning the boiler.

How to start a gas water heater for the first time

When arranging a heating structure, many homeowners prefer installing double-circuits. These heating units, when installing the newest models, are distinguished by their reliability, they are economical and allow you to provide hot water in the house, but you need to know how to start a gas water heater correctly the first time.

In order for the device to work for a long time and without repairs, it is necessary to properly organize the first start-up of the gas boiler, during which the system is filled with water and the air that has entered them is removed from the pump and heating radiators. To facilitate this process, specialized devices - air vents - are used for heating devices. They should be unscrewed until water comes out of them. To prevent air from remaining in the pump, first remove the front panel of the unit and make the necessary adjustments. Air pockets are quickly removed, and the equipment is put into operation on its own.

How to serve

Maintenance of Conord boilers consists of maintaining the cleanliness of the body, timely removal of soot or ash from the burner and performing other necessary procedures.

Most of the work is performed by the owner of the unit, but for some activities it is necessary to invite a specialist from a warranty or service organization. This must be done annually, or as urgently necessary - in case of problems or breakdown of the boiler.

Attempts at self-repair can cause permanent failure, so you should entrust complex operations to professionals.

Any attempt to independently interfere with the boiler design will be regarded as termination of the warranty agreement at the initiative of the owner.

How to start a gas water heater: preparation

There are simple instructions explaining how to start a gas water heater , which is shown in the photo. The initial start-up is performed when the installation and wiring of all components of the heating equipment is completed, and the accuracy of the work has been verified by the relevant authorities.

The location of the heating unit must be selected in accordance with safety standards and regulations that do not allow the occurrence of fires. Boiler

must be at a certain distance from the wall surface, which depends on the manufacturer’s advice. By the way, for certain models of gas appliances this requirement is not considered important. You also need to make sure that there are no flammable materials or objects nearby.

Plus, it is not allowed to place boilers near windows, because their operation is disrupted. The even placement of the device body is of great importance - even slight distortions are not allowed. After installation is completed, they begin to connect the equipment to a source of cold water: remove the plugs from the pipes, and place a filter with a tap with a round hole at the entrance. Such a device protects the heating structure from a variety of contaminants that cause problems. Valves with a spherical shut-off element must be built into all pipe sections used for piping.

Solving the problem of how to start a gas

water heater, great attention should be paid to the pipe connections from the gas main. These installation works are not carried out with one’s own hands, but rather involve professionals from the relevant services who are involved in connecting, sealing and, if necessary, installing a gas meter.

Before turning on the gas water heater , a separate power line should be installed specifically for the heating unit. The equipment must be equipped with an electrical cable and plug, and a socket must be installed next to the device, separating it from the rest. After which the boiler is connected to the chimney pipe, in which the draft and its performance are checked. She should go outside. The installation work to install a chimney depends on the type of heating device.

Having completed preparations for startup, the boiler is disconnected from the electrical supply to fill it and the heating system with cold water. Then they check that there are no leaks, turn on the thermostat to the maximum value so that the operating mode toggle switch lights up in automatic mode.

Important Operating Instructions

In terms of operation, gas boilers with a closed combustion chamber are considered safer. Their firebox does not communicate with the room air. However, the power of such boilers is significantly inferior to the power of boilers with an open combustion chamber. Therefore, in private households a second type of boiler is often installed.


The choice of future coolant depends on the goals and operating conditions of the system. If the boiler is expected to be turned off frequently, then it makes sense to think about using antifreeze

The operation of such boilers requires compliance with safety precautions. So, to install a powerful floor-standing boiler, it is customary to use a separate room with a certain size. The boiler is mounted at some distance from the walls. Nearby walls should be protected with fire-resistant material to prevent fire.

A ventilation system must be installed in the boiler room. There should also be a source of natural light. The width of the entrance door must be at least 80 centimeters. The chimney is laid in accordance with the instructions for the boiler and from heat-resistant material. The chimney must rise above the roof ridge by at least half a meter.

One safety measure is to install carbon monoxide detectors. The gas detector will promptly detect the leak of a volatile toxin and warn users about it. It can also be configured so that the ventilation is automatically turned on and the gas supply is turned off. Modern automation allows the implementation of a variety of smart systems.

If the temperature, pressure or gas sensor fails, you must immediately turn off the boiler and call a service technician. Using a boiler without these devices is fraught with serious negative consequences.


SNiP requirements state that a gas boiler must be connected to the main line using a copper pipe or a bellows hose. In this case, a faucet must be installed

If signs of a gas leak are detected, you must immediately turn off the gas tap and open the windows to ventilate the room. Do not turn on the light and try to illuminate the room by lighting matches or a lighter.

The gas boiler must be serviced at intervals specified by the manufacturer. Information about the necessary procedures is indicated in the instructions for the device. For example, you need to clean the chimney, remove scale from the heat exchanger, or clear the fumes from the burner. Then the boiler will last a long time, and the risk of serious malfunctions will be significantly reduced.

When using a gas device, do not turn it on at maximum power for a long time. This may result in the release of steam, which is unacceptable.

Sometimes the boiler begins to make unusual noises and vibrations. This may be due to the operation of the fan. We warn you that all actions that require disassembling the boiler casing automatically deprive the owner of the right to warranty repair or replacement.

However, the owner of the unit needs to monitor the operation of mechanisms and systems that protect the boiler from fire. It is necessary to maintain the temperature in the circuits at around 50 degrees, which significantly reduces the likelihood of mineral deposits forming on the internal surfaces of pipes and devices.

Rules for filling the system with water before turning on the gas water heater

Before lighting a gas water heater

, and turn on the heating system, first of all it is filled with cold coolant, which, after heating, will circulate through the pipes and heating devices. When performing the first launch, everything is carefully checked so that subsequent work is trouble-free and the equipment does not require repairs.

In the body of the unit there is a specialized tap, located near the pipe section, to supply coolant into the system. During the filling process, the system pressure is monitored due to the presence of sensors and instruments for determining the pressure value. Modern boilers already have them, and there is no need to buy them additionally. When the device is filled with water, the mark on the meter rises. When it reaches 1.5-2 atmospheres, the water supply is shut off and filling is completed.

These pressure parameters can be changed because they depend on the manufacturer's requirements for the operating pressure in the heating system. But filling with cold water does not end there entirely, because replenishment will be needed after the structure is freed from air pockets.

Ignition

On the eve of putting the unit into operation, you need to fill the heating system with coolant, preferably soft water. After this, the temperature is brought to 90 C several times in order to extract dissolved oxygen from it as much as possible.

Filling is carried out very slowly without interruptions in order to prevent the formation of air jams in the network.

The procedure for igniting the Danko boiler unit:

  1. Check the draft in the chimney system and the absence of gas contamination in the room.
  2. Ventilate the furnace room for at least 10 minutes, the valve at the entrance to the boiler must be closed.
  3. Check the gas fuel pressure in front of the boiler - less than 3000 Pa.
  4. Using the automatic “KARE” system, with the boiler valve on the gas pipeline closed, turn the handle of the temperature sensor all the way counterclockwise.
  5. Open the gas tap.
  6. Press the start button of the thermoelectromagnetic valve and, holding it, press the piezo button until the burner device begins to burn steadily.
  7. Heat the water to 80C, while monitoring the pressure in the water network, checking the quality of the burner, the torch should be bluish in color.

Removing air pockets before lighting a gas water heater

Before lighting a gas water heater

, it is necessary to fill the heating structure with liquid cold coolant. But just filling with water is not enough. It will either not work, or the degree of heating of the room will be insufficient. A real first start is impossible without releasing the air accumulated in the system. Often modern gas water heaters have a specialized system that automatically releases air when filled. However, its effectiveness is often insufficient: you will still need to manually reset the air jams. Only after this can you launch.

Remove air pockets before turning on the gas water heater

, it is necessary not only from the heating unit, the circulation pump, but also from all heating radiators. The process must begin with batteries - for this, as mentioned above, they are equipped with air vents. They are opened by placing a container underneath. First of all, a light whistle will be heard, which means that air is gradually leaving the system. After removing the plugs, water begins to flow. Then the taps are closed. A similar operation should be done with each of the heating devices.

Pressure testing and washing


Pressure testing of the system is not the most necessary preparatory stage, but it is desirable, since it will show defects and leaks in advance, if any.
Pressure testing is not always done due to the lack of a special pump and the reluctance to call a team, but if the heating fails in the midst of cold weather, the costs can be much higher!

It is especially important to check a new system and one that, on the contrary, has been in use for several years.

The cost of crimping in construction companies is from 3,000 rubles. Additionally, they may charge a fee for visiting the site (about 2 thousand rubles). By the way, a manual pressure testing pump will cost 4.5 – 6 thousand rubles.

Valuable advice

To start the boiler , power must be supplied and the heating regulator must be set to the desired operating position. The presence of a weak hum indicates that the circulation pump has started working. Using a screwdriver, you should lightly unscrew the cover of the detected part. However, this must be done before the water starts flowing. If the liquid begins to break through, screw the cap into place. These actions are done a couple of times and after which the air pockets will be completely removed from the system. The gurgling sounds will also disappear and the pump will run quietly.

Circulation pump

Air often accumulates in it, and its blades sometimes seem to get stuck (the boiler will display a corresponding error).

It is recommended to rotate the shaft manually before starting.

To do this, you need to remove the front panel of the housing, unscrew the central bolt on the pump and use a straight-bladed screwdriver to turn the shaft in the direction indicated by the arrow.

An air vent is installed above the pump. You need to pull the bright lid up and let the air escape.

Floor-standing boilers are usually more powerful than wall-mounted ones. If you need to heat a large room, it is better to choose this option. Floor-mounted gas boilers for home heating – overview of design options and models.

Read about the installation features of combined heating boilers in the following material.

Conclusion

At first, the system may make gurgling sounds, all because during startup it is impossible to bleed air down to the last atom. It will gradually be removed through the expansion tank valve. Periodically check the pressure on the pressure gauge - it should be within the operating range. Temperature adjustment and other boiler settings are described in the instructions for each model.

Specifics

About the manufacturer

The owner of the Danko brand is Ukrainian, which simultaneously produces heating equipment with several items. Danko boilers are manufactured using imported equipment from Japan, Finland and Denmark. This has significantly improved the performance quality of manufactured products, making them more reliable and durable.

In the production process of boiler equipment, modern assembly and metalworking machines and a powder coating line are used.

The vast majority of technological operations are automated. All boiler units have high efficiency - over 88%. The assortment set includes modifications with a cast iron heat exchanger, the service life of which is more than 25 years.

The advantages of such units include the availability of spare parts on the market, low cost of the kit and reliability.

Many units have been operating for more than 15 years in practice. The high efficiency of models up to 20 kW is determined by low fuel consumption: from 0.8-1.7 m3 of gas per hour.

However, the unit also has disadvantages. Buyers complain about the low level of assembly. Cheap kits are not equipped with modern automatic systems.

The assemblers note the relatively complex processes of assembly and piping with the in-house heating system, as well as increased background noise when the boiler is on, compared to Western analogues.

Varieties

Nowadays, several types are used Zhitomir For their part, floor products also have divisions into single-circuit and double-circuit.

If a gas water heater

needed only for heating purposes, you need to pay attention to single-circuit models.
They are undemanding, convenient and economical. Equipping a single-stage boiler " Zhitomir " first of all involves foreign components.
Thanks to them, the device can be turned on and off if necessary. And if there is a need, in addition to heating, to have hot water in direct access, you will need to select from dual-circuit options. Due to price demand, double-circuit units are a little more expensive, but they also provide double pleasure to the consumer in their work.

According to their own characteristics, floor-standing boilers mostly have the following similarities:

  • the highest temperature limit is +90 degrees;
  • Efficiency is 92%;
  • gas pressure – 635 Pa.

However, when selecting exactly the model you like, you need to consider its specific characteristics and capabilities.

The same zoning as for floor-mounted boilers is also found in wall-mounted boiler models. They can also be single-circuit or double-circuit. The efficiency of all devices is similar. The same applies to gas pressure.

But it is still necessary to consider their characteristics in more detail:

  • the power of chimneyless boilers must be at least 5 kW and less than 20 kW;
  • the thermal fluid in the device is no more than 17.5 liters;
  • depending on the model that was selected, the network gas consumption is considered; standard – 0.56–1.67 cubic meters per hour;
  • economy due to imported automation.

For its part, the manufacturer provides a wide range of boilers to choose from, but the Zhitomir -3 KS-G-020 SN model is still in incredible demand. This device differs from its counterparts not only in terms of affordability, but also has clear technical data. The design of the device is designed in a minimalist style; the outside of the boiler looks like a cabinet. It must be placed exclusively on the floor. On the front of the model there is a small flap, behind which the button for turning on and adjusting the device settings is hidden. In this part there is a control window, thanks to which you have to monitor the boiler productivity indicators.

The key package includes a housing, which also includes parts of the heat exchanger. On the outside it is covered with thermal insulation material and a casing made of steel. There are two burners shown: one is the main burner, and the second is the pilot burner. The kit includes a gas duct and an automated gas valve; it is responsible for safety during operation.

If the temperature becomes more than +95 degrees, the shutdown meter breaks the circuit to the valve, and the valve itself automatically closes the gas supply.

Device (automation)

The main element is the gas burner. It heats the heat exchanger in which the coolant is located.

It is supplied by gravity or under the action of a circulation pump (purchased separately and connected as an external component of the system) into the heating circuit.

For double-circuit models, a coil is installed around the smoke pipe to heat the hot water of the DHW circuit.

Smoke is exhausted naturally, using the chimney draft, to which the boiler should be connected during installation.

The installation of the heating system must be carried out taking into account the placement levels of radiators that ensure natural circulation of the coolant.

If this is not possible, you have to use a circulation pump, which stabilizes the liquid movement mode, but makes the boiler energy-dependent.

Operating instructions

at the beginning of using the Zhitomir equipment, you need to make a high-quality installation of the product, check the pipes, especially if the boiler is a double-circuit one. Next, the first launch is performed. And then the boiler

part of normal operating procedures. According to the typical scheme, you need to turn on the device, light the wick, then adjust the heat supply. After these steps, you can change the settings to decrease the heating or, conversely, increase it.

At the end of the cold season, the boiler must be turned off for the warm period , because there is no need for it, which will make it possible to eliminate additional waste of the device’s potential. In most cases, after a warm period during the connection period, it is not possible to light the boiler

, the ignition fuse goes out. This may be due to weakened draft, weak gas pressure, or breakdown of the valve responsible for the gas supply.

To correct equipment errors and put the system in order, you should insulate the chimney, check the gas pressure and change the gas valve.

It’s not often that the gas valve fails to start during use. The reasons for this may be broken contacts, poor quality of the pilot burner, or an incorrectly installed thermocouple. Removing damage is simple - you just need to check the contacts. It is worth paying attention to the height of the flame. It must be at least 2.5 cm. You can try reinstalling the thermocouple or changing it completely. After this, check and light the boiler the first time.

As for a number of boiler models “ Zhitomir

", in general, you can hear only the best reviews. Excellent heating and the ability to regulate temperature conditions make it possible to feel comfortable during all cold weather. The simplest mechanism for switching on and setting is just a few knobs and pointers that tell you what needs to be done.

Another special quality that is mentioned in all reviews is the safety of the boilers. If the gas is unexpectedly turned off or the burner goes out, the magnetic block of the gas valve device closes the supply.

Moreover, Zhitomir boilers have a protective system against lack of draft in the chimney system, as well as protection against overheating of the device. In any situation, the gas supply is shut off, which is considered a big difference in the process of troubleshooting. Otherwise, gas water heaters " Zhitomir " are an excellent example of quality and reliability. They are in incredible demand on the world market. Technical properties of boilers " Zhitomir"

“They allow you to make a connection in almost any designated place.
Boilers “ Zhytomyr
” are, first of all, a concern with which you don’t have to think about the costs of heating your home using electric heating devices, and also excellent quality at a price that is affordable for everyone.

Possible startup problems

  • The gas boiler slams when the main burner starts.

The most common problem, the cause of which is most often clogging of the igniter (dust, combustion products, etc.). It is recommended to call a specialist to clean it.

The reason may also be that the pilot flame is too low: below the main burner. When using electrode ignition, the electrode may be clogged or faulty. In rare cases, the cause may be excess gas pressure in the line. It is important to understand that slight, barely audible pops are characteristic of most models of gas boilers that do not have a sound insulation layer.

  • Only the wick is lit and cannot light the main burner.

The reason may be the same clogging of the igniter or its incorrect installation, when the flame simply does not reach the main burner. Clean the pilot nozzle (it is advisable to entrust this to a specialist) and check the operation: its flame should reach the main burner and simultaneously “wash” the thermocouple. Sometimes the reason lies in a malfunction of the thermocouple, which does not open the gas supply.
