Varieties and troubleshooting of Ferroli boilers

Today, a gas boiler is a must have in every home. Every year, residents of our country are faced with planned and unplanned outages of hot water. And private houses and many new buildings, in general, are designed only for individual heating. As a result, sooner or later, many of us have to think about purchasing a boiler or a boiler. This article will focus on the Ferroli gas boilers. Let's talk about the types of heaters, their operation and possible damage.

Ferroli is an Italian company that manufactures various household appliances, starting with heaters and ending with a variety of air conditioners. For the first time she declared herself in the middle of the last century.Over the decades of its work, Ferroli has become an international company that has branches throughout the world, including Russia. In our country, their products are known for their high quality and reasonable price. Heaters - the main layer produced by the company equipment. Mostly their varieties depend on the power source. Accordingly, they are:

• gas;
• electric;
• solid fuel;
• diesel.

This article focuses on gas boilers. They, in turn, are also divided into subspecies by their parameters. Let's look at them in more detail.

• Single circuit - The easiest version of the boilers. Aims solely on space heating. They are not able to heat water, which means that in addition they will have to purchase other equipment. But single-circuit boilers have high reliability, which is provided by the internal device. Its main elements include a heat exchanger, expansion tanks and circular pumps.

• Double circuit - decide the issue with the acquisition of additional equipment for heating water. This equipment is aimed at performing two tasks at once. These heaters are equipped with two heat exchangers.The water that circulates through the heat exchanger serves not only to heat the room, but also to provide hot water.

• Open combustion chamber - heaters that require an influx of oxygen from the external environment. Therefore, the occupied space must be equipped with ventilation and chimney. The latter is necessary to remove the products of combustion. Before installing such a boiler, the premises will have to be prepared according to all fire safety regulations. This type of boiler has a simple structure, high reliability, low productivity. Models make little noise during operation.

• Closed combustion chamber - such boilers are the least harmful to the environment. Work with a special burner. Among other parts have a fan that provides air.It also removes the products of combustion, so it does not matter whether there is a draft in the chimney or not. This type of boiler is the most productive, but less reliable. Often there are problems with the fan. By the way, he makes a lot of noise during work.

Many of these models are condensing. That is, they are characterized by low fuel consumption with a rather high efficiency. Others (convector boilers) lose a lot of heat along with the products of combustion, which is a serious disadvantage.

• Wall mounted - the most popular type of gas boilers. The demand for them is due to the compact size, reasonable price and sufficient performance to warm the apartment or private house. They are also easy to install, due to its low weight. This type, as a rule, has a closed combustion chamber.

• Outdoor - a powerful type of boiler designed to heat large rooms. Their size and weight far exceed the parameters of wall heaters. The price is also noticeably higher. Such boilers are rarely used in everyday life.

Ferroli products boast a wide selection of various models. You can choose a heater based on any requirements.However, not all of these models can be represented in Russian stores of household appliances. Fortunately, today Internet services with a delivery service can always come to the rescue. Consider the most famous and common boilers from the company Ferroli.

• Domina N - one of the new models, released in 2013, to replace the old boilers that have been discontinued. The unit belongs to the bithermic subspecies, that is, it has two heat exchangers and the second is placed inside the first. They are made of copper and coated with a heat-resistant substance, which increases the service life. Wall-mounted boilers of this model can have both a closed combustion chamber and an open one. Domina N has a long range of advantages, among which are: a pleasant design, small size and weight, electric ignition function, anti-lock pump system, frost protection, the ability to connect remote control, high efficiency, safety and reliability.

• Ferroli diva - Another modern wall-mounted boiler. It has two heat exchangers to heat the room and provide hot water. Equipped with a simple and affordable control panel with a digital display.Like the Domina N model, it has subspecies with different combustion chambers. The advantages of Ferroli Diva include elegant appearance, ease of installation and maintenance, electrical ignition, an efficiency level of 93%, self-diagnostics, safety, a plate heat exchanger for hot water, an anti-corrosion coating covering the steel combustion chamber, and an electronic board for modulating power.

• Divatop micro - The newest of the models, featuring a number of innovative features. Quite popular today boiler. It boasts increased efficiency and reliability. Consists of two separate heat exchangers made of copper. And the three-way inverter valves provide ease of use. The boiler program is able to independently maintain the set temperature for a long time. This model has an innovative system of self-diagnosis, which ensures maximum safety of operation.

The price of Divatop Micro may seem too high compared to its counterparts, but at the same time the boiler is equipped with a full set of accessories that make it much easier to manage.Among other advantages, it is possible to note a fan with adjustable rotation speed, a liquid crystal display, an automatic weather sensing system, wide functionality and a convenient arrangement of internal components.

• Pegasus 23 - a popular model of floor boilers. Of course, they are chosen less often than wall ones. The point is the high price and power that is not needed for heating a house or apartment. But some people own large cottages, which are not easy to heat medium boiler. Here Pegasus 23 comes to the rescue, whose power reaches 23 kW. The cost of the model can reach 50 thousand rubles. It is due to the presence of a cast iron heat exchanger, which ensures maximum reliability of the boiler. It is also resistant to corrosion. The boiler is equipped with elements such as a thermometer and pressure gauge.

• Bluehelix Tech 35 A - wall mounted boiler, exceeding some floor standing ones. Designed specifically for heating large rooms. The model is a condensing type heater. The type of combustion chamber is closed. Maximum power - more than 32 kW. At the same time the copper is very reliable.The basis of the work Bluehelix Tech 35 A - heat exchanger, made of stainless steel. In addition to it, there are available 8-liter expansion tank and circulation pump. The filling dictates a solid price - about 65 thousand rubles.

• Atlas d30 - An interesting model that can operate on both gas and liquid fuel. This boiler is single-circuit and has a cast iron heat exchanger. And its insulation is made of mineral wool. The maximum power of the unit is 30 kW. One of the advantages is a high level of efficiency, exceeding 93%, the ability to connect an additional boiler or other external panels, as well as a low amount of electricity consumed. However, there are certain disadvantages. To use the boiler will need a mounted burner, which will have to be purchased separately.

• Fortuna PRO 24F - one of the most popular wall models. It boasts positive reviews from the owners of private houses, because the unit is intended for heating them. He is able to provide heat area of ​​240 square meters. In addition, the boiler will delight you with hot water. Maximum power - 25 kW, efficiency - 93%.The heat exchangers inside it are separate. The type of combustion chamber is closed. There is an expansion tank for eight liters. By the way, if desired, the heater can be converted to work on liquefied gas.

• Econcept Tech 18A - stands out against the background of other models of its flexible adjustment system. But alas, not able to boast high power, whose maximum does not exceed 18 kW. The same can be said about the average reliability. This is due to the aluminum alloy from which the heat exchanger is made. But among the advantages we can highlight an increased level of security. It is achieved by a self-diagnostic function, an automatic air diverter, a safety valve, electronic flame modulation, and other useful systems.

Most modern models are equipped with automated control systems. And if not, they can be purchased separately and connected, which significantly simplifies the operation of the boiler. To properly start the gas heater from Ferroli, you must first connect it to the mains and turn on by pressing the "start" button. It may take about 15 seconds to start the boiler. Then open the burner and ignite.

Remote consoles make setting work easier. Moreover, the adjustment in all models is carried out according to the same scheme. You can install such a remote control in any room, and you do not have to visit the boiler every time you need to change the parameters. You can manually change the temperature in the room or the temperature of the heat exchanger, set a specific mode of operation, use the "comfort" function or reset all the specified settings.

Even if your boiler is distinguished by European quality and enviable reliability, sooner or later you will encounter certain breakdowns.But do not worry. Any modern model will try to inform you about it and tell you exactly what the fault is. She does it with the help of the display or color display. In the second case, the indicators start flashing on the control panel. Why the boiler does not heat the water and the red light flashes? What does it mean - bad ignition? The answers to these questions and the detailed designation can be found by referring to the instructions or special Internet sources.

Consider the error codes that are displayed on digital screens.

• A01 - no flame. This error means that the system made several attempts to rekindle the fire, but none of them yielded results. Valve closed or gas pressure too low. Also, the problem may lie in the incorrect connection of the electrodes. Inspect the wiring. If everything is in order, restart the equipment. The operation of the control board may also be disrupted.

• A03 - boiler overheated. An emergency sensor registers an elevated temperature and shuts down the equipment until it returns to normal. The reason is often a violation of the circulation of water.This happens because of low pressure or when air enters the system.

• A06 - was ignited, but there is no torch. This error occurs when gas pressure is low.
• A08 - Overheating sensor out of order. First of all, check its wiring for breaks. If everything is fine with it, the sensor must be replaced.
• F05 - disrupted the process of removing smoke from the room. Usually the problem lies in the air pressure switch. Pay attention to the correct connections.

• F10 - two reasons. The first is a short circuit. The second - somewhere in the temperature sensor circuit appeared open. Check if there is a contact between the sensor and the control panel. The problem is solved by reconnecting the wiring. Find out the resistance of the sensor at the moment. If by all measures it is faulty, replace it with a new one.
• F14 - problem with the second sensor of the pressure heating circuit. Most likely, it is damaged and needs to be changed to a new one. Either a closure or open circuit has occurred.

• F34 - mains voltage too low. The boiler gives an error when it falls below 180 V. If the problem occurs too often, it is recommended to connect the boiler to the stabilizer.
• F37 - the pressure level in the heating system has noticeably decreased. The relay contacts open. If a malfunction occurs, replace it. And inspect the entire heating system, there may be leaks.

• F39 - A short circuit or open circuit of the outdoor temperature sensor has occurred. Check resistance and wiring between sensor and control panel.
• F50 - gas valve modulation coil faulty. It should be called to detect interturn or open circuit. Check gas valve. Maybe there was an error in the operation of the control panel. Perform a reset.

Some of the problems can be eliminated with your own hands. For example, to lower the air or raise the pressure is simple. You can clean the heat exchanger, if you already have experience in this matter. But in most cases it is recommended to call a specialist or contact the service center.Wizards will conduct detailed diagnostics and troubleshoot issues without causing harm to the system. And in order for breakdowns to occur as rarely as possible, a few simple rules should be followed. Carry out maintenance and cleaning at least once a year. Replace damaged parts to avoid more serious damage. Do not save on the installation of the heater. Entrust this business to the masters who will do everything correctly.
