Water heaters brand Gorenje: product range

The presence of hot water in our time - this is not a luxury, but the realities of the time. It is clear that for the implementation of this water heater is needed. For this you need to choose among a large number of models the brand of this home appliance that the consumer needs. Among the various manufacturers on the market are water heaters manufactured by Gorenje from the Republic of Slovenia. The model range of this product will be discussed in this article.

The history of the manufacturer of household appliances Gorenje began more than half a century ago. During this period, the company has gained greater fame among consumers. The products are of high quality and environmental safety. Water heaters (boilers) of this brand are a significant part of the production among other household appliances of this company.

The production of water heaters covers the production of pressure, storage and combined water heaters.

• Pressure head - this is heating water for seconds to the desired temperature. The ability to connect to one or two points of the water supply. Minus - increased power consumption.
• Accumulative - devices consisting of a tank for heating water and a heating element for heating elements. Heating is slow and consistent. Electricity is consumed economically. The ability to immediately use the kitchen in the bathroom. When creating the boiler, the manufacturer applied the design of the storage tank in the form of a thermos. The tubular, portable TEN was made. All this is combined in a solid case. Use is carried out by means of the electronic or touch display. For safety reasons, some products have an automatic pressure control valve installed. The warranty period, the company Gorenje installed from 3 to 7 years on the tank and from 2 to 5 years on the heater. Most accumulative boilers are produced as the most economical devices.
• Combined - The water in the broiler is heated with both gas and electricity.

There are other differences between the types of water heaters: by storage volume, size, appearance, which has a cylindrical or rectangular shape. The size of the model is determined by the volume of the tank. Cylinder-shaped heaters vary in diameter and height.

The list of heaters presented by Gorenje to consumers contains almost 50 brands:

• prices from 4 to 21 thousand rubles;
• heater capacity from 30 to 200 liters;
• power up to 2 thousand watts.

The company produces various models of electric water heaters, differing in the type of accumulation and heating.

• Capacitive (cumulative) - water enters under the pressure of the water supply and accumulates in the tank. In the production of the tank is used as a steel, and stainless. The enamel layer and special heat insulation are applied on top. The water is heated by TEN to the temperature determined by the temperature control device. The most in demand for sales is the Gorenje GBF 50 water heater. Similarly, the GBF 80 and GBF 100 models are in demand. Can be installed in apartments and houses.
• Indirect heating - during operation, heat is used from another heating device, which, for example, provides space heating (steam boiler). It is best to apply in homes of independent heating.These are the models KGV 400-2 / AG, KGV 300-1 / AG, KGV 200-1 / AG. They have a large tank of up to 400 liters and a significant pressure of up to ten bar.

• Combined - heating elements in the form of TENs or coils are used. Hot Water Heaters - GBK 80 LN, GBK 100 LN. Can be used with any method of water supply.
• Closed (pressure) - characterized by continuous pressure. The GBFU 50 EB6 water heater model supplies hot water in parallel to two consumers.
• Open (free-flow) - do not need the centralized water supply. Due to the special air valve, water can flow from the tank to which it is pumped. In this case, a fairly small water pressure. These are boilers of models TGR 80 SN, TGR 100 SN.

• Water heater with dry heating elements - Gorenje OGB 50 SLSIM / V9, made in the Smart series. There is an automatic heater on for a given mode to heat the water to the set temperature. The heating element heater is structurally located in a special flask.
• Water heater Gorenje gt - differs in very small size of a tank, only 5 l. Use in small country houses is possible.

To confidently understand and use this knowledge when buying a heater, consider the model range of electric heaters.

Small and Medium Series:

• TG;
• TGU;
• TGR;
• TGR S;
• TGR E;
• OTG SLIM;

• GB;
• GBU;
• GBFU;
• GBFU E;
• GBFU EDD;
• OGB;
• OGB SEDD.

The average heaters with the design of Simplicity - a series of GBFU, OTG SLIM.

Subdivided into models GT, TG, GB and Simplicity. Between these models there are both similarities and differences. Understanding these differences requires that the choice be conscious when the cost of products is identical. The above lettering contains product specifications. So:

• Tg- installed conventional copper heater open type;
• GB- in the presence of a heating air element (heater of dry or closed type);
• EDD - the heater is controlled by an electronic device with a digital display;
• O- characterizes the appearance of the heater as rounded;
• S- denotes a compact appearance (for the OTG and OGB series);

• R- external location of the temperature control knob (for the TG series);
• U- describes as a universal assembly - horizontal and vertical;
• F- for the GB series, indicates the compactness of the manufacture of the housing by reducing insulation;
• E- indicates the presence in the device of the electronic control of the heating element of the flange and magnesium anode.

The temperature control stick contains a light indicator. The indicator reports the work of the heating element and the anode in different colors. Yellow - the heating element does not work, red - the destruction of the magnesium anode. This kind of alarm system allows you to react and correct the damage in time.

According to the established practice, firms providing similar services are involved in assembling a water heater system. As usual, it is necessary to pay for the work, and the amount of payment ranges from 4 to 5 thousand rubles. That is why there are those who wish to independently install and connect the heater.

There are characteristics of the water heater. Otherwise, the device may be installed in violation of technology. This will further lead to his wrong work. Possible damage to the device.

First of all, the place where the water heater will be located is determined. Preparations are underway for installation. For this purpose, measuring tools (tape measure) are used.Using a perforator, holes are made in the place of attachment of the heater. Anchors water heater attached to the wall.

Then flexible hoses the heater is connected to the water pipe. The manufacturer provides that the blue color indicates the place of connection with cold water. The location of hot water from the heater is marked in red. The hose connected there is attached to the tap. For a more dense connection, tow or fum-tape is used to eliminate leakage.

After collecting the system, a leakage check is performed at the hose attachment points. To do this, cold water is started up and the hot water tap opens. After leaving the air system, the hot water valve closes. This makes it possible to check if there is a water leak.

The last stage of the assembly - the connection to electricity. It is carried out using special connectors. The terminals to which the wires go are marked with Latin letters and color. So, L - indicates the phase, N - zero, yellow color - is determined by grounding.

• Presence in some models of a special valve that allows to use water with low pressure in the system.
• The presence in the line of the manufacturer of small water heaters, the volume of the tank to 15 liters. What allows to install compactly the heater even in the small room.

There are water heaters and disadvantages.

1. When the water heater is running, the load in the electrical network increases to 1.5 kW. If the electricity is turned off, the heating device stops working.
2. The amount of heated water within the tank volume.
3. Insufficient anti-corrosion coating TENA reduces the life.
