Geysers Neva 4513: features, device and causes of malfunction

For a Russian citizen, the presence of hot water in the house is always a burning issue. Someone is provided with hot water, but it works intermittently. Someone lives in a private house, where such a phenomenon - a rarity. Also, most new apartment buildings are equipped with individual heating systems.

Choosing water heaters, our compatriots prefer foreign brands that produce more expensive, but better equipment.

In this article we will talk about the Russian-made NEVA 4513 heater. Let us examine the advantages and disadvantages, as well as describe the most common faults and how to fix them.

NEVA 4513 is one of the many models of heaters manufactured by the leading domestic company BaltGaz Group. It was founded in 1995 and over time has managed to become a leading manufacturer of household appliances in the Russian market.

According to the engineers who designed this model, it was created specifically to work in the difficult conditions familiar to our country. Low gas pressure or water interruption? NEVA 4513 will cope with this. Thanks to its abilities, this heater provided itself with demand from buyers.

According to the principle of their work water heaters are divided into two types.

• Cumulative - better known as boilers. They are distinguished by the presence of a thermos tank in which heated water can be stored for several hours.
• Flow - in the people are called columns. Heat the water in the process of its receipt. At the heart of the work of such a unit is a heating element that increases the temperature of water upon contact with it.

Both types have their advantages and disadvantages, so it’s impossible to choose the best universal option. This should be done based on the conditions of use. For example, the boiler is well suited for permanent use in private homes. And because of its compact size, the boiler is often placed in apartments, where there is not so much space.Also, the boiler, unlike the boiler, does not keep waiting for heating.

NEVA 4513 refers to the type of flow heaters operating on gas. Users claim that the water temperature rises almost instantly after turning on the boiler. The number of pluses of the model hardly outweighs the number of minuses. It is necessary to thoroughly examine and weigh them before making a purchase decision.

• Ease of use. It is enough to read the instruction once to immediately understand the functionality of the device. Also worth noting is that the NEVA 4513 is a wall-mounted unit and is easy to install.
• The primitiveness of the design. The simplest “stuffing” is capable of ensuring not only the stable performance of its functions, but also increased reliability.
• Despite the above item, this model has a built-in security system. It is able to control the flow of gas and the temperature of heating.
• By the standards of instantaneous water heaters, NEVA 4513 has good technical parameters.
• The boiler has an affordable price, as well as new parts for it in case of their replacement.
• Almost all the main elements of the heater are suitable for repair.
• The model has a small size and nice looking design.

We now turn to the minuses, a list of which was compiled according to customer reviews.

• Malfunctions occur too often. Of course, the heater is easy to repair, and spare parts are inexpensive, but it is unlikely that anyone will be happy with the interruptions in work.
• Increased noise level.
• Automatic ignition faults. According to users, this problem will be faced after one or two years of operation of the boiler.
• If the water pressure is too low, the boiler starts to overheat.
• If the water pressure, on the contrary, is too strong, the boiler does not have enough power to cope with the heating.

The NEVA 4513 model is equipped with a hydraulic two-stage flame modulation system. Power of the unit varies from 22 to 25 kW.This is more than enough to provide one apartment or private house with hot water.

As already mentioned above, this heater has a small size - 65x39x23.7 cm. Its weight is only 13 kilograms. Such parameters allow not only to place the boiler in a small apartment, but also facilitate the installation process.

The main feature of this model is the presence of auto-ignition. To operate the boiler, it is enough to open the gas valve. To complete it, simply shut off the gas supply.

The coolant pressure varies from 30 to 60 kPa. Water consumption with a temperature of 25 degrees - about 13 liters per minute. The minimum flow is 2.5 liters per minute. The minimum system pressure required for automatic ignition is 15 kPa.

NEVA 4513 is capable of operating on both natural and liquefied gas. The consumption of the first - 2.8 cubic meters per hour, the second - 0.94 kilograms per hour. This model is often installed in homes that are not connected to the pipeline. It works from cylinders, and when connecting natural gas does not have to purchase a new unit.

Also it is necessary to say a few words about the model NEVA 4513-M. It is an improved version of the original.One of the nice additions is the presence of an electronic display. It is also slightly more powerful than the NEVA 4513 - 26 kW.

Gas is a very dangerous substance for the human body. It is necessary to observe maximum caution when using gas equipment.

Despite the ease of installation and configuration of the device, you should entrust this business to specialists.

The room in which the boiler is located must meet certain requirements.

• Have an intense chimney through which the burning waste will be removed. It is advisable to arrange it as close as possible to the boiler.
• Have good ventilation, through which a constant supply of oxygen will be provided.

It is better to place the heater in the kitchen or in other non-residential premises. Their volume should be at least 8 cubic meters.

Small faults can be fixed by hand. If you, of course, confident in their abilities. In most cases, you should seek help from service centers or call specialists athouse.

Finally, we turn to the causes of some problems and their solutions.

The most common of them - the lack of ignition. There may be several reasons. First, many users often confuse the polarity of the supply battery. It is enough to pull it out and insert it as it should. Secondly, the control unit may break. To fix it, you need to call the wizard. Thirdly, the electrical contacts may sour or break. Only the master is able to cope with this.

Also, the reason may be in low water pressure. To understand this problem, it is necessary to contact the public service.

If the flame ignites and goes out, there may be a problem in the membrane. It should be replaced with a new one. Some users complain that it has to be changed too often, every few months.

And perhaps the reason is a weak spark, which indicates that the power supply battery is discharged and it is time to install a new one.

If the boiler does not heat well, check the gas pressure. When it is low, the coolant warms slightly. Also the reason for this may be a large amount of soot in the heat exchanger. In this case, it must be cleaned.The burner can also be clogged, only with dust. Because of this, the flame will not be intense enough.

In some cases, the boiler may spontaneously shut off after a few minutes of operation. There may be several reasons. Possibly, the thermal protection relay or the thrust sensor has worked. Either there is a gap in the gas supply system. Overheating often occurs due to lack of oxygen.
