In every modern family there is a huge number of various household appliances that are designed to make life easier for people, to make it as comfortable as possible. These devices include water heaters. With their help, people no longer depend on the hot water system. One of the most famous brands of water heaters is Bosch. Anyone who looks after himself with such a device should pay attention to the variety of models offered by this brand, and their features.

General equipment information

Bosch brand water heaters carry out the process of heating water according to the flow type. Flow type means that the process of heating water is carried out during the entire time it passes through the device. This allows you not to tie water intake to any time, and constantly use hot water.

There are two main types of water heaters - it is gas and electric. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. The electric type of water heater is safer, but it has higher operating costs.

The use of gas water heaters reduces the cost of operation, but their use requires additional connection to the gas supply system, therefore, coordination with the gas service.

Installing a water heater is simple and convenient. Fastening to the wall with one screw. The connection to electricity is made through the terminal block, which securely fixes the wires. Models of such a steam station can be 10, 30, 50, 80, 100 and 200 liters. Each is accompanied by instructions and reviews are mostly positive.Consider separately both existing varieties.

Electric type

The use of electric water heaters brand Bosch is a modern way of implementing hot water. They can be used both in private houses and in buildings where there is a central hot water system. With the help of such equipment can supply water to several users. Protection of a water heater has the European class IP24. It provides protection against overheating and thermal expansion.

Thanks to the splash guard, the water heater can be installed in the bathroom.

Installation of the water heater is easy and simple, it can be installed even in the cabinet. The equipment has a convenient and clear control system that allows you to adjust the temperature of water heating. The temperature data is displayed on an external display.

Bosch water heaters have unlimited continuous operation time.

Electric device type on the example of models Tronic

This type of water heater was developed by the German company Bosch, to simplify the production of hot water for household needs of homeowners. Boilers of this brand are small and can be located in the kitchen or bathroom. The process of heating water is carried out by the energy of electricity.

Advantages:

  • Large assortment of the Tronic series, which has five models of water heaters. Each of the models is unique and has its own advantages, such as ease of management, small expenses for heating the required amount of hot water.
  • The Tronic 1000 T and 2000 T models come with a compact cistern with a diameter of 36 cm. This allows you to install a water heater even in rooms with limited space.
  • Models Bosch Tronic 6000 T and 8000 T have great functionality and at the same time high reliability. The capacity of boilers of this brand has both a horizontal and vertical location and holds 50–120 liters of water. Temperature control is carried out in increments of one degree.
  • The special level for installation is included in the package of this equipment. With it, it is easy to fix the boiler in the right place.

Storage device overview

Inside, the boiler tank is coated with an anti-bacterial, glass-ceramic coating that is tested under high pressure. The tests performed showed results that are twice as good as the standard rates. This coating perfectly resists thermal expansion and pressure drops. Thanks to the coating, complete hygiene is guaranteed in the process of water heating. This avoids the so-called flowering of water, as well as avoiding the need to drain the water if the broiler has not been used for a long time.

The warranty period of the water heater is five years, thanks to the glass-ceramic coating. Connecting the broiler to the water system is also easy and convenient.

Technical equipment

Powerful heating elements provides rapid heating of water. The power of the heating element is chosen so that the time of heating water to a temperature of 65 degrees does not exceed one and a half hours. For models in which a 50–150 liter tank is located, the heating time is between two and four hours. All models have a temperature gauge that indicates the degree of heating of the fluid.

The presence of a magnesium anode that protects against corrosion. The main breakdowns of the water heater are directly related to corrosion processes. To combat corrosion in water heaters, an enlarged magnesium anode is used. The possibility of the appearance of rust directly depends on the quality of the water, as well as on how regularly the boiler is serviced.

Manufacturers recommend cleaning the tank and anode diagnostics at least once a year.

Rod thermostat, which is responsible for turning off the water heater when overheating. This is one of the most common means of protection against overheating. It is a tube of small diameter. During overheating, the thermostat expands and the tube presses on the switch and the water is heated.

Low heat loss due to the use of modern insulation. The use of such insulation can significantly reduce heat loss. Daily average losses range from 1.2 to 2.2 kW. If the temperature falls below the set values, the heating process starts.The process of constant heating of the liquid saves energy.

After connecting the boiler to the network, the water is heated to the desired temperature, after the heating is over the thermostat turns off the water heater. After the water temperature has dropped to a certain value, the thermostat restarts the boiler to work. Thus, the required water temperature is constantly maintained in the boiler.

The water heater is equipped with an “anti-freeze” function. So the manufacturer regulates the use of the water heater in areas where the temperature does not fall below zero. Thanks to this function, you can set the required heating temperature and the boiler will maintain this parameter. Since the energy losses are low and will not lead to significant costs and in the period of negative temperatures the water heater will be under reliable protection.

Disadvantages:

  • high cost despite the simplicity of the design;
  • relatively expensive parts, including the high cost of heating elements;
  • the heat exchanger tends to leak, but it happens quite rarely.
