Characteristics and subtleties of using gas columns Oasis

The geyser of Oasis is well-known to the domestic consumer. The wide popularity is due to the affordable cost of the device and its full adaptation to the Russian gas networks. The unit belongs to the heating equipment of the middle class and is a worthy example of the ideal ratio of price and quality.

The geyser of Oasis was developed by experts of the German company Forte Home GmbH. The device is successfully supplied to the CIS countries and is a device consisting of a body, a gas burner, a heat exchanger, a water unit and a control unit.Columns are available in several versions, where each model has fundamental differences from representatives of other series. For example, some models are capable of operating on liquefied gas in cylinders, others are connected to the main networks, and still others can be operated without a chimney.

Power devices depends on the type of model and varies in the range from 12 to 26 kW. The column is equipped with an open-type combustion chamber, which significantly reduces the cost of the device in comparison with units equipped with closed chambers. The downside of the open chambers is the fact that the air intake to maintain gas burning is carried out directly from the room in which the device is installed, while oxygen is supplied to the closed chambers from the street through a coaxial chimney system.

Structurally, Oasis devices are divided into flow and storage models. The first ones are the most common option and are able to work even with low pressure in the water supply system. The principle of operation of flow-through gas columns is quite simple: the coolant, moving through the pipes of central communications and being under the pressure of water supply networks, enters the coil, where it heats up to the specified parameters.

The capacity of the flow units varies from 6 to 13 l / min and depends on the power of the device and the type of water heating. The columns are equipped with an automatic switch-on function, due to which the heating of the heat carrier begins synchronously with the activation of the hot water tap. In addition, many devices are non-volatile and operate on replaceable batteries. The disadvantages of flow through columns are their high cost. However, due to the efficiency and durability of the units, the money spent on the purchase of a column quickly pays off.

Accumulative devices in their performance characteristics are fundamentally different from flow. The principle of the models is to preheat the coolant in the storage tank, and its subsequent supply to the pipes of the DHW. The positive qualities of such columns are economical operation and the presence of a sufficient amount of hot water. The disadvantages include the large size, due to the presence of the storage tank, and the high cost of some particularly powerful models.However, today the specialists of the company have been developed and put into production. miniature model “Small”, featuring a modern appearance and equipped with a storage tank and a capacity of only 15 liters. The model quickly gained popularity and became an indispensable attribute of many small-sized kitchens.

High consumer demand and the popularity of Oasis gas columns are due to a number of The undeniable advantages of these devices:

• The high safety of the use of units is explained by the presence of protective sensors, which turn off the device in emergency situations.
• The ability to stable heating of the coolant, regardless of the pressure drop in the water supply system, makes the operation of the columns simple and comfortable.
• The location of the main module away from the hot water connection improves the safety of the device and protects important components of the structure from overheating.
• The presence of a mesh filter protects the system of pipes and pipes from clogging and rust accumulation.
• Economical fuel consumption due to the presence of regimes "Winter-Summer." This allows you to automatically adjust the flow of fuel and significantly save on water heating.
• The presence of heat-resistant alloy in the composition of the radiator eliminates the formation of scale on the inner walls of the device.
• High rates of efficiency and long service life distinguish the Oasis columns from other devices present in this price category.

• The presence in the product line of turbocharged models that can forcibly remove the products of gas combustion. They allow you to use the column without the arrangement of the chimney and make their operation even safer.
• Modern and aesthetic design allows you to install speakers in kitchens and bathrooms without the risk of spoiling their appearance.
• All Oasis models are equipped with an LCD screen and a control panel, which makes using the device easy and convenient.

The range of the company is quite wide. Attention of consumers are classic, bezdimohodnye and turbocharged models, different in their power, principle of operation and appearance.The most popular are the columns of the average price category, allowing to provide uninterrupted supply of hot water for quite a little money. Among them are a number of models, customer reviews about which are most common.

"Oasis Glass 20 VG" - the flowing device demanding arrangement of a flue and differing in unique design. Thanks to its small dimensions, which are 34x59x14.5 cm, the column fits harmoniously into small rooms, does not clutter the space and does not spoil the interior. The model is powered by batteries, which ensures complete non-volatility of the unit and makes its operation independent of power outages. Launching of the column takes place automatically immediately after opening the tap of a hot water supply at a pressure in the water mains pipes of at least 0.02 MPa. The column is equipped with an RCD, a thermostat and an anti-freeze function, and the presence of the “Winter-Summer” mode allows you to save up to 70 cubic meters of gas per year. The performance of the model is 10 l / min, which at an optimal power of 20 kW is enough for the bathroom and kitchen. The efficiency of the device is 90%, and the cost varies from 4 to 4.8 thousand rubles.

"Oasis TUR-24" - the device from the Turbo series working from an electric network and not demanding regular replacement of batteries. Ignition gas burner occurs synchronously with the opening of the valve. The model does not require the arrangement of the chimney: the removal of combustion products is forced by using the built-in electric fan housing. The exhaust gases are discharged to the street through a corrugated pipe.

The performance of the column is 12 l / min. The turbocharged model is equipped with a liquid crystal display, which allows to monitor the temperature, and overheat protection, which turns off the device automatically in case of exceeding the permissible temperature. The dimensions of the column are 33x62x18.5 cm, the cost is 9 thousand rubles.

"Oasis B-12W" - a miniature flow-through smoke-free model with dimensions of 29x37x12 cm and a capacity of 5 l / min. It is usually installed on one of the sampling points, which is caused by a sufficiently low power, not exceeding 11 kW. Ignition is made from replaceable batteries. The device is equipped with a copper heat exchanger, overheat protection and a display. The cost of the column is 4 thousand rubles.

"Oasis 20-OG" - the economic non-volatile device intended for work on the liquefied gas from cylinders and used in the houses which do not have connection to the central networks. The model is equipped with the "Winter-Summer" function, gas control, thermometer and ionization sensor. The performance of the heater is 10 l / min, power - 20 kW, and the cost does not exceed 5 thousand rubles.

Due to the clear and simple installation scheme, the placement and connection of the device to the water supply system can be performed independently. However, all work related to gas communications and column adjustment can only be performed by a specialist. Before proceeding with the installation, you must obtain permission from the gas service and receive instruction. One of the most important conditions for the installation of gas equipment is the footage of the room and the presence of ventilation or chimney. In rooms with a volume of less than 8 m3, the installation of any gas appliances is prohibited.

Do not place the column above the gas stove or other sources of open fire. The wall on which the installation of the device is planned should be fireproof, made of a material that does not support combustion.With self-installation, special attention should be paid to the tightness of fasteners and carefully check the quality of the connections after installation. Equipment setup is also carried out by gas service specialists with testing of all modes and functions of the device.

Before you turn on the gas column and start using it, you must carefully read with rules of use of the device and safety measures:

• When operating gas equipment, only the type of gas recommended by the manufacturer should be used.
• When switching on the device for the first time, it should be remembered that air may accumulate in the pipes, which is why the burner may not light up immediately. Therefore, the ignition should be performed twice with a small interval between attempts.
• The heating parameters are set by turning the knob located on the device body. When switching on for the first time, set the lever to the minimum value and carry out test heating. Once it becomes clear that the device is working correctly, you can start testing different temperature regimes on the rise.
• In the process of further use, you should not forget to change the electric ignition batteries in time and periodically clean the column from scale, scale and dust.
• If there is no traction in the chimney, the appliance cannot be switched on.
• Unlike gas boilers with a closed combustion chamber, the column cannot remain unattended for a long time. This is dictated by the rules of fire safety and features of the device of open burners.
• Unauthorized analysis of the device and the installation of third-party parts are prohibited. Only the service center master or the gas service specialist can repair the columns.

Like any complex device, Oasis gas columns are prone to breakage. The causes of malfunctions are factory faults, violation of the installation method, poor gas quality and gross errors in the operation of the equipment. The most common failure is incorrect operation of the igniter, in which it first lights up, and then it goes dead or does not light up at all when the water is turned on. In this case, most likely, you will need to clean the jets or completely replace them.

If the column does not turn on or goes out during operation, then one of the reasons may be the absence of a draft of a ventilation duct or a chimney. In this case, you need to disassemble the pipe, set fire to a sheet of paper and bring it to the hood. If there is no traction, you should clean the channel yourself or call a specialist. If everything is fine with the column, but the column still does not work, you need to check if there is a spark. In the case of its absence, you should replace the batteries and start again. In the event of a malfunction of the water unit, the access of fuel to the burner or igniter may be disturbed. To eliminate the fault, you can use the repair kit and replace the membrane yourself.

Sometimes it happens that the column is working properly, but there is a strong smell of gas. In this case, you cannot disassemble the device yourself in an attempt to find out where the leak occurs. It is urgent to turn off the column, turn off the valve on the main pipe and call the gas service. In some cases, the boiler may generate errors due to reasons independent of the technical state of the device. For example, with low gas pressure, the code “EE” appears on the display screen.In the event of malfunctioning of gas equipment, it should be remembered that the disassembly and assembly of the device, repair of burners, heat exchangers and water assemblies, as well as checking the tightness of pipes and their connections should be carried out only by specialists of the Gas Service.

Geysers Oasis effectively solve the problem of lack of hot water. The simplicity and reliability of the device guarantees its durability, and the glass surface and stylish design decorate the space and bring variety to the interior.
