Rating popular models geysers

The house or apartment of a modern person is difficult to imagine without hot water. However, in many homes there is no central hot water supply. It is possible to solve this problem with the help of a water-heating agent, which may well work on gas.

Geyser - the most famous device on the market of heating equipment, which provides any kind of living space with hot water. In the modern world there are a large number of water heaters, but so far no one has been able to replace the geyser. This can be explained by several factors:

• the gas column is characterized by great savings, as it can provide hot water to several hot water intake points located in a house or apartment;
• the geyser allows to use hot water supply at any time and in unlimited quantity.

Geysers consist of a huge number of elements:

• main burner, the best material for which is steel;
• piping system required for water circulation;
• the heat exchanger can be made of both steel and copper;
• a housing that not only regulates the amount, but also controls the flow of water;
• the ignition unit, which directly depends on the power supply;

• a control unit with which you can monitor the parameters responsible for the normal functioning of the column;
• the pipes needed for the water to be supplied, the gas and the removal of hot water;
• diaphragm gas valve;
• a safety system that is necessary if there is no water, changes in pressure, overheating of the column or other situations that may lead to accidents;
• block discharge of combustion products.

It should be noted that gas water heaters are related to water heaters that heat water instantly. Water enters the column through the inlet pipe.Then the water flows through the pipe system, which is exposed to heat coming from the heating equipment. During the movement of water through the pipe system there is an increase in its temperature. This entails the supply of hot water from the vapor pipe to the faucet.

Ignition of the main burner in various models of a modern column can be carried out using different elements.

• With the help of a piezoelectric element. To ignite a column in this way, you must click on a specific button. Inside the column is constantly lit igniter, shutdown of which would entail disabling the entire column.

• Using batteriesgiving the electric spark needed to ignite the burner. If the device does not work, gas is not consumed. Batteries are a very convenient tool, as they can last up to 1 year.

• Using hydro turbinewhich causes the spark needed to ignite the burner. The turbine starts to work only when the column is turned on. However, such models are very sensitive to low water pressure.

When choosing a gas column, it is necessary to take into account a number of basic characteristics which heating equipment should possess:

• power;
• type of ignition;
• burner type;
• type of combustion products;
• security.

Power is one of the most important characteristics that must be considered when choosing heating equipment. Power determines the overall performance of a vehicle. In other words, it sets the amount of water that a gas column can handle during a certain time interval. Geyser designed for power from 6 to 32 kW. It should be noted that the power of an electric water heater is from 1.5 to 3 kW.

Consequently, depending on the number of kW power is divided into three types:

• small (from 6 to 19 kW);
• medium (from 20 to 28 kW);
• high (from 29 to 32 kW).

The type of ignition is also an important characteristic that may influence the purchase decision. If earlier, in order to light the device, they used matches and lighters, but now modern models offer an improved ignition system. There are two types of systems: semi-automatic and automatic.

On the one hand, the semi-automatic type of columns entails a significant gas consumption. This is due to the fact that the wick cannot be turned off. To turn it on, you must click on the piezo freshener button. On the other hand, the automatic type of columns not only reduces gas consumption, but it is also extremely easy to start up. To start such a system, it is necessary to open a hot water tap.

Do not overlook the type of burner, which is of two types: with constant power and with regulating. It is inconvenient to use burners with a constant power, as you have to adjust it yourself. This can be explained by the fact that the water pressure is constantly changing and entails a change in temperature. Consequently, this problem successfully cope burner with a simulated temperature. They independently adapt to changing pressure.

The type of combustion products is not a fundamental characteristic that has a significant impact on the choice of technology. However, it is recommended to study this characteristic in order to make the right choice. There are two types of it: chimney and turbo.On the one hand, a chimney is needed only in one case: if the tubular canal can be brought into the existing chimney. On the other hand, turbocharged devices are not popular, as there is a risk of freezing if there is a freezing temperature outside.

The key issue is security. Columns must be equipped with multiple levels of protection. For example, modern speakers have three levels of protection. Each of them is necessary in various unforeseen situations. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the presence of protective sensors, since the high safety of the product is a guarantee of reliability and quality.

However, there are factors that have a secondary influence on the decision to purchase an electric water heater:

• the size;
• the form.

The size of the gas column does not matter much, but it is necessary to take this factor into account. The size of the column is determined by the scale of the room. If the room allows you to install a large column, then select the appropriate size.

A geyser is a dangerous device, since its operation requires the use of combustible fuel. Therefore, during the installation process, care must be taken to avoid its leakage in the future.

In order for the geyser to serve for a long time, it is necessary to follow certain rules and recommendations on the use of geysers:

• they are recommended to be installed in a place where there is ventilation;
• Do not install the device near flammable objects;
• if the chimney clogged, it is necessary in the near future to call a master who can fix the problem;
• great attention should be paid to the work of the gas column, because its overheating can adversely affect the service life.

Specialists and users prefer foreign manufacturers of geysers, such as Vaillant, Bosch, Ariston and Beretta. For example, Vaillant is appreciated by all for high quality and a wide variety of options, and Bosch attracts with an ideal reputation in the market of heating equipment.
