Technical characteristics of water heaters Stiebel Eltron

Hot water supply is one of the most important benefits of civilization, which modern people are unlikely to agree to ignore. However, sometimes in the work of the central water supply system, interruptions occur, and in the summer, hot water is often completely turned off in the cities. Owners of private houses and cottages, too, have a hard time, because they do not have the ability to connect to the central water utility. In all these cases, people are faced with a pressing problem.

To heat water in pots and wash in the pelvis in the XXI century is absolutely ridiculous. Therefore, autonomous water-heating systems - boilers - come to the rescue. The current market of water heaters is extremely diverse. Understand the abundance of the products offered and understand what type of equipment to choose, it is not easy.Preference is better to give famous brands that have earned a global reputation. One of these manufacturers is Stiebel Eltron, which manufactures water heaters according to German quality standards.

The German production of the Stiebel Eltron brand has been successfully operating in the market of household appliances for almost a century. The company began with the development of a submersible immersion boiler in 1924. In 1927, the company launched the production of the first instantaneous electric water heater. Since then, the company has continuously improved its production methods and technologies. Over the century, the brand’s own research center has received several dozen international patents for household inventions, as well as for electrical engineering. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of water heaters, electrical heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, Stiebel Eltron has always been present on the Russian market and is in high demand among construction, installation and maintenance and design organizations. Today, the Russian consumer is also familiar with the company's home appliances.Hot water systems from Stiebel Eltron are represented on the market by more than 100 models.

According to the principle of operation, water heaters are divided into flow and storage. Each of the options has its pros and cons.

• The instantaneous water heater provides instant water heating. Cold water passing through the device is already hot. Temperature is regulated by the built-in sensors. Instantaneous water heaters of the Stiebel Eltron brand are designed for installation in the central water supply system, which ensures a one-time supply of hot water to several water intake points at once.

• Accumulative water heater is a container for collecting water, followed by heating. Hot water is used as needed, automatically the tank is filled with the next portion of cold water.Also in the storage systems are provided sensors to maintain the desired temperature. The main disadvantage of storage systems are large dimensions and weight. The greater the volume of the tank, the more impressive the design. It is possible to install such water heaters either on the floor or on a supporting wall capable of withstanding a metal container filled with water.

Every year, storage systems lose their popularity in the Russian market, giving the palm to running water heaters as more comfortable and modern. Consider the general technical characteristics of flow type Stiebel Eltron water heaters.

• Network voltage. Electric water heaters of this brand are designed to work directly with several points of water intake. Power consumption varies depending on the specific model, power is supplied from a single-phase or three-phase network (220V and 380V, respectively).
• A heating element. The principle of the device is the passage of water through the built-in flask connected to the spiral heating element.Due to this specificity, the water is heated to a predetermined temperature within a few seconds.

• The method of water supply. The heater is equipped with a pressure device that provides constant pressure and allows you to evenly distribute hot water to different water intake points at the same time.
• Connection and installation. Installation of a compact water heater is carried out by fastening to the wall (mounted way). For convenience, there are 2 connection options: lower and upper. However, the upper eyeliner is less in demand, because such a system can be installed solely under the sink.
• Dimensions and weight. The mass of the instantaneous water heater reaches 4 kg. Its standard dimensions are 200x400x100 mm.
• Material. The internal elements of the device are made of steel, covered with protective anti-corrosion compounds. The device can be used with any degree of water hardness. The body is made of high-strength plastic, fully sealed, protected from water and foreign objects that can disrupt the equipment.

Stiebel Eltron water heaters are equipped with additional elements for comfortable use. Protective mechanisms ensure the durability of the equipment, as well as maximum safety of electrical appliances.

• Thermostat. Built-in temperature sensor that controls the heating element. The water heater is equipped with a small electronic panel with control buttons, on which indicators are displayed. The device automatically turns off when the element is heated above the norm, and as it cools, it switches on again. This saves energy, eliminates overheating of equipment and its failure.
• A safety valve controls the pressure in the system. At overpressure, the valve opens, bringing the values ​​back to normal. The process occurs automatically, does not require manual adjustment and tracking indicators.
• Air Bubble Protection Relay. With drops and unstable pressure in the system air plugs are often formed, which leads to device breakdowns. In order to avoid this problem, the manufacturers of Stiebel Eltron began to use a protective relay in water heaters, which automatically turns off the heating element until the moment when the airlock passes.

The high quality of German technology speaks for itself, the products of the company Stiebel Eltron meet all international standards, including Russian. As for water heaters of this manufacturer, the products have several advantages over their counterparts.

• The equipment copes with the unstable water pressure in the central system, provides uniform heating, automatically prevents the system from failing from excessive pressure and air plugs.
• There is no need for service, replacement of parts, filters and other elements. The heating system is treated with compositions, due to which lime deposits do not appear on it.
• Water heaters are equipped with electronic installation and temperature control system. Some models have a remote control.

• The mass of a standard water heater varies within 4 kg, which allows you to safely attach it to the interior room walls, not limited to the supporting wall.
• Models are compact, have an aesthetic modern design. Such a device can become a technological element of decor in a modern style or be located in a hidden place under the sink top, in a closet or behind a panel covering the pipes.

The disadvantages of water-heating equipment brand Stiebel Eltron can be attributed to the high price of products (compared with counterparts). However, the ratio "price / quality" in this case is fully justified. Another drawback, according to reviews of Russian consumers, is the impossibility of maintenance in the regions of Russia.
