Zota pellet boilers: technical characteristics and operation features

Pellet boilers that are present in the modern market, mainly from foreign manufacturers, and this greatly complicates the maintenance of the device and increases the cost of the product. Not so long ago, Russian-made devices began to enter the markets. These are Zota boilers, which are adapted to domestic operating conditions, but they also work economically and are able to perform their function offline.

Zota boilers, which are manufactured by Russia, were developed taking into account modern consumption. They are able to operate in two main modes. If there is a network of electricity in the room, then the boiler works with the help of pellets. In automatic mode, the fuel pellets are started, which are injected by the air supply,and then the burnt products are removed.

If the electricity supply is turned off, the boiler continues its operation., but according to the principle of a conventional solid fuel boiler that runs on coal, wood and a similar type of fuel.

The pellet boiler Zota has the following characteristics:

• automatic ignition if there is power supply;
• the ability to connect sensors for temperature control and regulation;
• due to the control unit, it is possible to regulate the temperature of the hot water, the temperature of the heating of the floor heating system and the circuits of the heating system;
• such equipment is equipped with a spacious combustion chamber, which can be increased in the case of automatic operation of the boiler;
• it is still possible to equip the equipment with heating elements;
• reliable protection system provided by sensors and valves, thus preventing the equipment from overheating, accumulating excess pressure.

If the buyer has a need or simply a desire to complete the equipment with unusual additional functions, then, in consultation with the manufacturer, it can be supplemented with an alert system that will transmit signals to the owner’s smartphone.In order to control the process of work at a distance, the owner must install an application on the phone.

All boilers of this type have an automatic adjustment system that is able to constantly maintain the set temperature, but at the same time it monitors the safe operation of the device, that is, it does not allow excess air and flame to penetrate into the combustion chamber. This safety is achieved because the device is equipped with a twin-screw fuel supply.

After the boiler reaches the set temperature level, the combustion process is transferred to the standby mode. Power adjustment in such equipment is also performed automatically. Such adjustment is carried out due to the fact that less fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber. You can set up this system remotely, as it is equipped with a remote control system using a remote control.

Most Zota boilers are capable of working on wood and pellets, and are also equipped with two circuits to which you can connect hot water and a heating system. A prime example could be Zota Mix. In the markets such boilers are presented in a large assortment and have a variety of performance and characteristics.

Of the popular models can be noted some.

1. Zota 100A. It has a capacity of 100 kilowatts and is used for heating large premises, the area of ​​which is about 900 square meters. Fuel consumption of this model is about 250 kilograms per day. These models have a high efficiency despite the large area of ​​the room.
2. Zota Pellet-15A. Such boilers are used for premises up to 150 square meters, per day such equipment requires about 35 kilograms of pellets.

The main feature of this boiler is performance on pellets. Pellets during combustion in the burner orifice emit much more heat than some other fuels.For example, if you use a ton of pellets, it will generate as much heat as 500 cubic meters of gas or one and a half tons of firewood.

Everyone knows that the prices of electricity and gas are constantly growing, for this reason, boilers are gaining more and more popularity. Coppers of this type can be equipped for work with different types of fuel. Domestic manufacturers produce boilers of different models, but it is popular precisely pellet products. The features of such devices include full compliance and similarity in the quality and characteristics of foreign manufacturers.

Only 5 models of boilers are produced. They have a capacity of 15 to 100 kilowatts. As for fuel consumption, it is also different depending on the model. But you need no more than 250 kg per day. The most popular model on our market is Zota-25A. Such boilers have a capacity of 25 kilowatts. All products of such models are made taking into account the unstable power of the power supply, and this is also a peculiar feature of the domestic manufacturer.

Reviews of the owners say that the boilers that work on pellets made by domestic production are in no way inferior to models of foreign production.The disadvantages of domestic products in principle consist only in automation for the operation of devices. Judging by the reviews, the controller often fails, which in principle does not affect the efficiency of work, but makes the operation not entirely convenient.

The main advantages of the equipment are:

• high efficiency, which determines the accuracy of automatic settings work;
• low cost of equipment compared to foreign models;
• if you carry out the correct installation and configuration of the boiler, then it will work for a long time without failures in work;
• functioning on a different type of fuel.

If you have a limited budget, the pellet variants of the Zota boilers are ideal. The build quality of domestic models is different from foreign products, but this does not affect the efficiency, durability and high efficiency. The boilers of this model are able to work even if the power supply is disconnected.

Devices have disadvantages:

• the cost of fuel for operation is high, as it is manufactured using various technologies;
• If you use such a device on a country site, you need to buy additional equipment.

In a month for boilers with an average power about 900 kilograms of pellets are needed. This indicator makes it possible to calculate the cost of heating the room during the heating season. In principle, for the period of operation, the cost of heating will be significantly lower than the cost of heating gas or solid fuel products, since pellets emit much more heat than some of the available fuels, so you will spend much less on heating.

As for the installation of such equipment, it is carried out quite easily. After the payment, the already assembled device, which is ready for use, is delivered to the buyers.

The owner remains to perform only simple actions.

1. Connect to the electrical network. According to the passport to the equipment, it will require no more than 1 kilowatt, but the network for connection must be equipped with a minimum power of 2 kilowatts.
2. Install the chimney. In order to collect less condensate and have a normal draft, experts recommend to use sandwich pipes to construct the chimney.The technology itself is completely similar to the design of equipment that runs on solid fuel.
3. Necessary to configure the boiler. In order to configure, you can install a program on your phone, or use the system control unit. At this stage, it is necessary to establish an acceptable room heating temperature and mode of fuel consumption. If by chance there are problems in the operation of the boiler, the owner will see them on the display.

If you need to know the efficiency and calculate the economy of the installed device, then you need to take into account the cost of fuel, its consumption per day and then compare it with the cost data with another type of fuel.
