Types and advantages of Kupper boilers

The Kupper boilers are products of the Teplodar company located in Novosibirsk. This manufacturer has been developing and creating units for heating systems for over 20 years. It offers consumers high-quality equipment with a stylish design. A wide range of devices allows buyers to choose a heater with the required power, size and cost.

Coppers "Kupper" are universal devices. They can operate in different operating modes for solid fuels: firewood, coal, briquettes. And also the installation provides for the installation of gas or pellet-like burners.In addition, the devices have heating elements, thanks to which with the help of electricity it is possible to maintain the optimum temperature of the heat carrier after the fuel burns out. Some boiler models are equipped with cast iron hobs. On such installations, you can cook or reheat food.

At the request of the buyer, boilers can be equipped with an option, such as the possibility of remote control using the remote control. But it is also possible to build in a heater a thermostat equipped with a chain and a lever.

Heating equipment "Kupper" has a pipe heat exchanger. The complex trajectory of the hot flow of the coolant allows the maximum transfer of energy, so that these devices have high efficiency.

Any heating installation from the manufacturer "Teplodar" has good aesthetic qualities. The style of the products is ensured by lining them with decorative panels with polymer finishing.

Coppers of long burning of production "Teplodar" are intended for effective heating of private structures, such as houses, cottages, dachas and other constructions.They are recommended to be used for heating objects ranging from 60 to 400 m2 in the cold season. Such installations are allowed to be used with any type of heating system: both with a natural type of circulation and with a forced one.

In addition to heating residential buildings, such boilers are widely used for heating commercial buildings. Teplodar installations are in great demand for their versatility, economy and efficiency.

According to buyers, the Kupper boilers have the best ratio in price and quality. Before this equipment appeared on the Russian market, expensive imported devices or domestic low-efficiency devices were offered to consumers. An extensive model range of heaters manufactured by Teplodar, their solid appearance and high-quality assembly allowed the Kupper devices to become one of the leaders in sales of heating installations.

Other benefits of this equipment include several important qualities.

1. Versatility. They can operate both on solid fuels and on electricity, gas or pellets.If you need to change the type of fuel enough to change the burner. The whole process is carried out without the use of welding. All work can be done by hand.
2. High efficiency. Its indicators are in the range from 80 to 95%.
3. Ease of operation and ease of maintenance.
4. The ability to operate with any kind of modern heating systems.
5. Compact size, which saves usable space when arranging and placing equipment in the boiler room.

Like all heating plants, the Kupper boilers have some drawbacks. The disadvantages include a heat exchanger made of steel (it is less durable than a cast-iron product). And also when buying a heater, you will have to purchase an additional sensor that controls the traction and the thermostat, and these are additional financial costs.

The Kupper series of boilers from the Teplodar company numbers dozens of different models, differing in their technical parameters.

The most common installations are:

• OK 9;
• OK 15;
• OK 20;
• Ok 30.

The abbreviation OK is interpreted as a heating boiler, and the subsequent letter indicates the power of the device.

The range of boilers also includes models PRO 22, PRO 28, PRO 36 and PRO 42. These water-heating solid-fuel devices are intended for heating large-sized objects (from 250 to 400 m2). Such types of devices are equipped with TEN and fitting.

Also the company "Teplodar" is engaged in the production of boilers "Praktik", "Carbo" and "Expert". These models include long-burning boilers. They have a large volume of the furnace, so that the duration of burning of one bag can reach 16 hours. It is possible to equip any of the heating units with a draft regulator in order to control the intensity of fuel combustion.

To maintain a comfortable temperature in a cottage or a country house, it is necessary to equip an effective heating system. Its main part is the boiler. To make the right choice of this equipment, one should pay attention not only to its cost and appearance, but also to its technical characteristics.

Most models of Kupper boilers are standard equipment, which includes a set of heating elements having a capacity of 6 to 9 kW. All solid fuel boilers have a maximum coolant temperature up to 95 degrees. Different models of installations have a different capacity of the heat exchanger jacket (minimum value of 25 liters, maximum - 50).

To choose the right boiler, you need to decide on the type of fuel and power indicators. To calculate the last parameter, you may need the services of a specialist. But you can also determine the required power of the equipment yourself. To do this, divide the area of ​​the heated object by 10 and add another 25% of the power to the value obtained.

For example, for heating a room of 120 m2, a boiler with a power of 15 kW is suitable (according to the generally accepted standard, 10 kW requires 1 kW of power). This task will be handled by the Kupper equipment OK 15. If it is planned to prepare food at the installation, it is advisable to purchase a unit with an installed hob.

According to the manufacturer, all the Kupper equipment is designed for 10 years of effective use.To ensure that the units operate smoothly, do not fail prematurely, some rules of operation should be followed.

• When choosing a boiler, it is necessary to give preference to a device corresponding to the power of the designed heating system.
• To reduce the risk of condensation and tar substances on the internal parts of the equipment, you need to make sure that the temperature in the boiler was above 60 degrees.

• During installation operation, constant support of the coolant volume is important. To do this, it is necessary to maintain pressure in heating systems of the closed type or to add water to the expansion tank to the optimum level.
• The coolant must be periodically subjected to mechanical or chemical cleaning. Such actions will reduce the risk of a lime layer inside the water jacket. To reduce the number of cleanings, it is recommended not to use technical water.
• To avoid water hammer and premature wear of the boiler, the system should be energized only when the air valves are open.

Many residents of country houses preferred the domestic Kupper boilers and have already managed to share their impressions of the operation of these devices. The owners point out both the advantages of the heating equipment “Teplodar” and some disadvantages.

Consumers of the installation include several factors.

1. Affordable cost devices. For example, imported counterparts with similar technical parameters will cost 1.5-2 times more expensive than domestic ones.
2. Aesthetic appearance and compactness of the units. Due to the small size of most models, it is possible not to provide a separate room for arranging the boiler room, but to place it directly in the house.
3. Universality of equipment: its ability to work on different types of fuel.
4. Excellent heat dissipation. Thanks to this indicator, it is possible to quickly warm up even a large room.

But also in the network you can find a lot of negative reviews. The disadvantages of the Kupper boilers are the owners of its complex installation, the smoke of the room when loading firewood, the rapid burning of the fuel and the poor maintenance of temperature. And also the owners of the equipment do not advise laying coal in the heater, since the risks of fast burning of carbon steel are high.

In addition, consumers attribute their complex construction to the disadvantages of boilers, which do not allow cleaning the pipes from soot. Due to the complex cleaning, parts of the equipment quickly “overgrow” with soot, and smoke begins to flow into the room.

Judging by consumer reviews, in general, the Kupper boilers are not bad options for heating installations. It is noteworthy that some users of this equipment are going to buy again the heaters of the “Teplodar” trademark after the useful life of the units.
