Zota boilers: types and benefits

The Zota brand is a fairly well-known product that is produced by a large Krasnoyarsk manufacturer of high-quality heating equipment. The company produces electric, solid fuel and combined boilers. They are intended to provide heated water and warm spaces with different length. The performance characteristics of these sought-after products, user reviews of these structures and a wide range of models indicate that they do not have equal competitors on the heating market in their segment.

Today, under the brand Zota produced:

• 5 lines of electrical units with a capacity of up to 400 kW;
• 5 lines of units operating on solid fuels, and units combined, having a capacity of up to 60 kW;
• the plant also produces heating elements of any power range and shape;
• boilers with automatics working on solid types of fuel - pellets and coal stand out here, and it is these boilers that have become the flagships of domestic production of heating systems.

All models of boilers from Zota can be divided into 3 main categories.

• Solid fuel structures. Coal, firewood, briquettes and pellets are selected for their work. They are distinguished from other types by low efficiency, autonomy from the central network, low fuel prices, and quite substantial maintenance labor costs. Such a device has managed to perfectly show itself as a product with a high degree of efficiency. The very first of all recent developments were devices called Topol, which are chosen to warm large spaces with solid fuels. These are units with a steel housing. The main distinctive feature of this design is the type of loading used fuel. The product has 2 doors (1 - horizontal, 2 - vertical).

• Electrical units. Electricity is needed to heat the coolant.Zota boilers are supplemented with high-quality heating elements from 3 to 9 kW, have an efficiency of up to 98%, they are easy to operate and install, but they are among the most expensive products in terms of fuel use.
• Combined devices. Firewood and gas, diesel and coal, electricity - many of the produced boilers can work with any of these types of energy carriers.

Most of them are aimed at the use of solid fuels, and work on other types of units will be guaranteed by devices that are installed on the order of the consumer. Demanded are products like "Smoke". They have in their design also electric heating elements. As soon as the wood or coal is burned in its entirety, the automation starts working and electrical heating is connected.

To buy this kind of Zota boiler is best for those ordinary people who want to use this appliance for cooking food, for heating water - many models include in their burner design. Zota electric unit models also have a digital unit for ease of operation.

Currently, the product range includes 17 products, each of them has a number of devices of various capacities. Consider the most popular models in more detail.

This line of products from Zota has 5 boilers with a capacity of 15-100 kW. Pellets are used as fuel here - pressed articles made of wooden chips. Units have a bunker that is located both on the right and on the left. Domestic pellet products Zota differ automatic screw auger feed, which guarantees a significant period of operation in just one tab for a number of days and automatic ignition. The device allows you to adjust the available capacity of approximately within 30% of the initial indicators, complemented by precise automation and high-quality security system.

This is a line of Zota devices that produce heat on coal, 2013 release with a roomy bunker. It is located both on the right and on the left. The model range includes 5 devices with a capacity that is based from 15 to 100 kW.Automatic feeding system in the furnace is a twin-screw mechanism that is protected from the possibility of jamming. As a fuel, a brand of non-sintered coal with a fraction of not more than 50 mm is used here. These products can even work on logs, but without an automatic feeding system. Have an excellent security system. And also here there are GSM-modules and TEN.

Coal devices are produced from 2013, have a capacity of from 15 to 60 kW, as another energy carrier they use electric power, for which they are equipped with heating elements in production. A characteristic feature of these products is the ability to manually adjust the amount of air used to make the burning time on one tab as long as possible. Combined steel Carbon has the top type of fuel load, a large combustion chamber, a three-way gas duct, a movable grille and an ash pan, which is installed on a surface cooled by water.

These are steel heating equipment, from 20 to 50 kW power. Mix boilers will work efficiently on any kind of fuel resources.Work TENA, which has a capacity of 3 to 9 kW can be controlled by remote control. The products have a number of interesting solutions that allow increasing efficiency: an enlarged water jacket, an "X" type of large-size heat exchanger, an electrical air supply mechanism and good insulation of the casing.

This unit is available in three models - 14, 20 and 30 kW. It has a durable case, the water jacket here is seriously insulated with a special type of cardboard, and the two firebox doors allow you to conveniently load fuel (it can be coal and firewood). The air supply to the combustion chamber can be regulated by a special damper on the ashpit surface, this will ensure a long burning on a single tab for up to 12 hours. Here can also be used heating elements with a capacity of 3 to 6 kW and burners installed instead of the top of the furnace door.

Electric boilers of heating of this line are power from 6 to 48 kW. Among the positive characteristics are: remote control using the GSM module, extensive voltage selection, protection from many levels, able to return the unit to normal operation after solving a dangerous situation. According to the passport, the product has its own “black box”, which records all indicators of the product.

This series has almost 20 models. The characteristics of such boilers fully meet the needs of the time: there is protection from power surges in the network and convenient regulation of heating medium temperature from 30 C to 90 C, temperature sensors will help maintain a comfortable temperature in the rooms in the desired range, and precise control of the unit using a mobile phone on a par with the most technologically advanced products. The devices have a high level of protection, which will automatically release all interlocks after the system returns to normal mode.

This line consists of 18 models from 3 to 48 kW. The distinctive features of these devices are in the management, the block of which is located in a separate compartment of the case. It can be used to adjust the temperature of the coolant in the range from 40 ° C to 90 ° C. In devices with a capacity of more than 18 kW there are several adjustment steps for greater energy savings.

Solid-fuel device "Master" have an excellent degree of thermal insulation. The heat exchanger has a combi look. The case is supplemented with basalt cardboard insulation, and on the door trim there are ventilation holes that are needed for high-quality cooling of the device.Buyers like that the ash pan door is equipped with a convenient damper with a handle, with their help you can adjust the flow of the air flow.

The semi-automatic unit type Magna can have a power from 15 to 100 kW. The product was released for use as coal fuel, conventional wood or briquette. As a secondary source, you can choose electricity. The unit TENA and the control module are included in the basic package.

Fuel is loaded manually, and the combustion process will be supported by the air that blows the fan.

Solid fuel boiler for heating systems having an area of ​​up to 80 m2 and using water as a heat carrier. This is the most interesting model of products line "Smoke". The unit has a rather long firebox, which will allow you to choose long logs, and an improved chimney system to simplify installation. The line "Dymok-M" will allow to burn coal and firewood as long as possible.

The universal type Optima unit is ideal for working in closed-type heating systems and vast areas of up to 400 m2.Pellets or special coal are used here.

The structure of the boiler is usually for this kind of heating products: there are a heat exchanger, there is a mechanism for a quick supply of fuel, a special burner with a special bowl that turns, a bunker for the selected type of fuel and a remote control for control.

With such a system as “anti-smoke”, the bunker will not smoke even with a serious decrease in fuel quality, as often happens with other domestic or foreign counterparts.
