The company manufactures products of different types and with different capacities. It is represented by several dozens of models that are designed for use in different areas, and one or two heating circuits can be used.

The principle of operation depends on the type of boiler.

• If the boiler is two-circuit, then the task is performed for heating the room and for supplying hot water. This system is designed for separate heating of sanitary water for the bathroom and drinking water for the kitchen. The system includes a heating element that can work with 60 liters of water. But if in the house it is necessary to supply water to several points of water supply, and the volume needs more, it is better to give preference to the next option.
• Single-circuit boilers are equipped with indirect heating tanks. By installing them, the owner will have the opportunity to maximize the water flow, while the extra load on the system will not appear. It should be noted that temperature controllers can be used in Protherm boilers that will operate independently of each other.

Each Protherm heating boiler has the following elements:

• three-way valve;
• pressure meter;
• fan;
• expansion tank;
• external temperature sensor;
• thermostat;
• primary heat exchanger;
• turbocharger and automatics.

The first thing you should pay attention to is that the boilers are safe. Their system includes special equipment that protects the consumer from power surges in the electrical and gas network.

The popularity of Protherm boilers is due to the following advantages:

• such a boiler is started automatically by using electric ignition;
• the boiler is able to maintain the set parameters;
• noise level reduced;
• the process of burning gas is environmentally friendly;
• devices are compact;
• despite the fact that the appearance of the boilers is small, they have a good indicator of power.

As for the shortcomings, it is worth to highlight the following:

• Have the highest power boilers line "Grizzly". Such boilers are designed for heating very large buildings, for example, a mansion, a warehouse, a large complex or an office. As a fuel for the work can be used liquefied gas or trunk.

It is possible to use boilers only after they have been fully tested. After that you can make the first launch. It is very important to follow safety rules that include a gas supply rate. Independently without a specialist, the consumer can set only the temperature of the water supplied. Maintenance of the boiler (its cleaning) should be carried out without removing the outer casing. All cleaning work is carried out after the device is disconnected from the power supply, and the connection is made only after the construction has dried.

A weekly pressure check is required. And also there is a need to control the tightness of the joints in the chimney, the cleanliness of the filter. Dirt is removed as needed. If a gas leak is detected, turn off the device immediately and shut off the fuel supply. After that, you should immediately call a specialist from the Protherm service.
