Gas boilers Kiturami: design features and review of the model range

Gas boilers Kiturami, produced by the eponymous South Korean company, are well known to domestic consumers. They are designed to provide hot water and heating of all types of residential and industrial premises.

Kiturami was founded in 1962 and began its activity with the release of solid fuel boilers. Gradually increasing production capacity, carefully tracking global market trends and using innovative developments of its own research and development department, the company became one of the largest manufacturers of heating equipment. Korean devices fully comply with strict international standards, have ISO-9001 quality certificate and are subject to serious control at all stages of production.Kiturami gas boilers are a complex structure of interconnected components and assemblies, the main of which is a heating element made in the form of a turbo cyclone burner. All models are equipped with a system for the forced removal of combustion products, which ensures maximum safety for people in the room and eliminates the risk of exhaust gas entering the room.

Both liquefied and natural gas can be used as fuel for Kiturami boilers. Kiturami boilers are available in dual circuit design. They provide independent heating of water in two systems - heating and hot water. And if in Russian-made boilers with the simultaneous switching on of heating and hot water, the temperature of the coolant decreases slightly, then on Korean models, when the hot water supply is turned on, the system automatically changes to heating mode. Due to this design feature, the water temperature in the network remains stable, moreover, it becomes possible to work in different temperature conditions for heating and DHW circuits.

The choice of power of the gas boiler depends on the area of ​​the room, which it will heat. Household models with a capacity of 15.1–34.9 kW can effectively heat a room ranging from 120 to 340 m², and are the preferred option for owners of country houses and city apartments. More serious devices have a maximum power of 465 kW. Thanks to the cascade connection, which can accommodate up to 10 devices, they easily cope with a huge space of 46,500 m². Such boilers are successfully used for heating shopping centers, warehouses and industrial workshops.

Kiturami devices are distinguished by high speed of water heating: The average capacity of most specimens is about 33 liters of hot water per minute. This is a very good indicator and allows Korean models to compete on equal terms with well-known Czech and German brands. All heaters are equipped with a multifunctional room thermostat, which automatically monitors the temperature in the room and, if necessary, starts or shuts off the boiler.Models can easily switch from gas to diesel, which makes them more versatile and greatly expands the scope of application. Korean boilers are equipped with an alert system for the state of the device and instantly inform the owner of the problem. In the event of a breakdown, a digital code instantly appears on the display screen, which indicates which unit has failed or is not working correctly.

For the convenience of fault recognition, there are such common error codes:

• 01–03 - the system does not detect a fire, which is why an automatic ignition blocking occurs and the device is turned off;
• 04 - temperature sensor failure; in this case, the boiler must be turned off and immediately call a specialist;
• 05 - opening of the overheating sensor or triggering of the seismic sensor;
• 06 - the boiler stopped recognizing the speed of the supercharger;
• 07 - the fan does not work correctly, which is associated with the accumulation of condensate in the knee or the wind, which penetrates through the chimney; Before calling a specialist, you should eliminate the above reasons and eliminate extraneous effects on the device.

Numerous positive reviews of the owners and high consumer demand for Kiturami gas boilers due to a number of important advantages of Korean instruments.

• The cost of models. Korean boilers are the perfect combination of price and quality. They occupy an intermediate niche between expensive German specimens and low-end domestic models. It is this feature that often has a decisive importance when choosing a heating device, which makes Korean units even more popular and in demand.
• Easy to use. Boilers have a convenient and intuitive interface. In addition, each model is equipped with a detailed instruction manual in Russian, which allows you to deal with the connection and operation of the device independently, without involving the staff of the service center.
• High reliability and durability of devices is explained by the use of high-quality components for assembly. It is also important to take into account all wishes and comments, which the engineers of the company instantly take into account and promptly eliminate these shortcomings.

• Efficiency.Kiturami products are distinguished by the minimum fuel consumption at the maximum efficiency value, which allows to significantly save on the heating of housing and water heating.
• The models are perfectly adapted to the quality of Russian gas, the harsh climate and the state of gas networks, which is an important factor and significantly affects the heating efficiency and trouble-free operation of heating boilers.
• The devices are equipped with a gas leak warning system, which makes their use completely safe.
• The ability to use energy-saving modes. Many models are equipped with a room thermostat that allows you to select the mode individually. The most economical of them are “Sleep” and “Absence”. The latter is especially convenient in the winter time: in the case of a long departure of the owners, the device operating in this mode will not allow the heating system to defrost and will automatically maintain the optimum temperature for the functioning of the liquid.

Kiturami gas boilers are classified according to the type of installation, power and design of the combustion chambers.

According to the place of installation there are two types of models.

• Wall mounted devices have a large functional reserve and compact size. Such products are used for residential heating and are the least powerful compared to outdoor types. Structurally mounted boilers are a unit that includes a copper heat exchanger, a hot water tank, a forced exhaust system, a circulation pump, a gas valve, as well as seismicity sensors and gas leakage. The efficiency of wall mounted appliances is 98%, which is a high figure for this type of gas equipment. Mounted models are considered quite economical: 1.62 m³ of gas are capable of producing 16 kW of thermal energy. Accordingly, only 38 cubic meters of gas are needed for daily heating of a 150 m² room.

• Outdoor models are characterized by greater performance, high power and a wide range of functional capabilities. In this, they greatly benefit from the floor counterparts of other brands, which, as a rule, are less functional than the mounted units.All floor models are equipped with a turbo cyclone burner, which, if necessary, can be easily replaced with a diesel one. The most powerful and overall models are the KSOG version boilers, which develop power up to 454 kW and are equipped with special extruded tubes, which significantly increase the efficiency of the devices.

The combustion chamber of instruments is of two kinds.

• The most productive and modern is the closed type. Boilers equipped with such chambers are very economical, have greater efficiency and work most efficiently.
• The open combustion chambers are mostly equipped with old models, which are somewhat inferior in their performance to closed type boilers.

The model range of Kiturami gas boilers is presented in several dozens of modifications. Among wall types, the most popular devices are Twin Alpha series. They are equipped with a closed combustion chamber and are capable of working on both natural and liquefied gas. The device needs arrangement of a coaxial chimney and is only suitable for the system of forced circulation of fluid. The price of boilers in this series averages 35 thousand rubles.

Of the floor-standing appliances, the STSG 30 Gas model is most in demand. The boiler has a high power of 34.9 kW and can work in both open and closed heating systems. Turbotsiklonnaya burner significantly saves fuel and ensures its complete combustion. The performance of the boiler is 23 l / min, the cost - 30 000 rubles. Kiturami gas boilers are modern heating appliances of a new generation, allowing to provide uninterrupted supply of hot water and effectively heat the housing.
