50 liter Thermex water heaters: device and recommendations for use

To ensure consumers uninterrupted supply of hot water installed water heaters. Practice shows that many prefer boilers with a capacity of up to 100 liters. This results from the fact that this volume is enough for consumption of a large number of people. And boilers with a capacity of 50 liters are installed by families who rest in the summer in the country. The modern domestic market is represented by a wide range of water heaters, among which the equipment of the manufacturer Thermex stands out clearly.

The case of the Thermex water heater is made from materials such as impact-resistant plastic, low-carbon and stainless steel with anti-corrosion coating. The internal capacity is made of titanium alloy, thereby increasing the resistance of the material to corrosion. The case and the inner tank are separated by polyurethane foam, which plays the role of a heat insulator. The control unit is installed depending on the model. Removable flange connections have thermostat sensors, a switch and a tubular heater. Electronic boilers with a volume of 50 liters are equipped with sensor controls.

The heater is connected only after the supply pipe. And it is also necessary to increase the pressure in the pipes to 0.6 MPa at a voltage of 220 V and a frequency of 50 Hz. The process of heating water in the boiler depends on its volume. So, for a 50-liter water heater, the duration is 1–1.5 hours.

The main features of Thermex products are as follows:

• flat form 250 mm thick;
• power, which lies in the range of 0.7–2 kW;
• the ability to supply multiple points of water intake in the same room;
• energy saving;
• special design of the inner tank;
• resistance to corrosive wear and the effects of aggressive environmental factors;
• reliability and stability of the tank, which is provided by the G5 technology to temperature stresses and pressure drops in the system;
• water drainage and descaling system;
• availability of economical modes.

Like any other household equipment, Thermex water heater has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include the following:

• modern and stylish flat case;
• thermal insulation provided by high density polyurethane foam, which allows to maintain the temperature of hot water for a long time;
• electrical energy savings.

If we talk about the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting the following:

• high noise with prolonged use of equipment;
• small thermometer errors.

Thermex water heaters with a volume of 50 liters are represented by a wide range.

• Flow through - These are small-sized boilers that are installed in places where there is not enough space for installing large water heaters. They have such undeniable dignity as the rapid heating of water. The lack of instantaneous water heaters is the impossibility of its use in rooms with several points of water intake.They are used for small consumption of hot water, for example, for washing dishes.
• Accumulative Heaters are protected from corrosion and scale, which increases the life of the device. This is provided by a special material - steklofarforom, from which the inner surfaces of water-heating devices are made. To maintain the temperature of the hot water, polyurethane foam is used, which prevents the water from cooling by more than two degrees per hour.

It is recommended to change the storage heaters every 6 or 12 months. The main difference between the storage equipment and the flow-through equipment is that in the inner part of the tank there is a heater element, which is necessary to heat the incoming liquid to the required temperature. During the entire period of use the water will be the same temperature.

To select the optimal boiler with a volume of 50 liters, it is necessary to study the characteristics of product lines.

• Flat plus It has a flat white shape and is equipped with an ergonomic electronic unit that provides a display with a heating temperature value.

It has the following characteristics:

• power - 2 kW;
• the inner tank is stainless steel;
• body - plastic;
• automatic cleaning and draining of water;
• time of heating water is 80 minutes.

• Champion ER Available in white, the body is made of metal and is equipped with mounts for vertical installation on the surface. The advantages include small dimensions, simple and fast installation due to the lower piping. The internal surfaces of the model are protected by steklofarforovka film, which prevents the ingress of moisture and aggressive media into the equipment. Polyurethane liner provides a stable temperature for a long time. Due to the high power, the fluid flow rate increases to 2 liters per minute. The presence of a check valve protects the tubular heating element.

• Diamond touch - This is a horizontal heating equipment, which is made in the style of minimalism with geometric shapes. Inside the water heater, there are two tanks that provide a flat design of storage equipment. The seams of the tanks are subjected to welding, which helps to protect the container from depressurization. The electrical system is equipped with the possibility of self-diagnosis, as well as adjustment of the fluid supply mode and the heating level. If a fault occurs, the screen displays all information about the fault.
• Praktik It has a small size, which allows it to be installed in small apartments. It has a round stainless steel shape. Welding of seams ensures tightness of the seams and resistance to corrosion. The inner surfaces of the water heater are covered with a heat insulating layer, thereby stabilizing the heating of water and the efficiency of the equipment. The power of the device is 2.5 kW.

Before installing the boiler, it is necessary to determine the place where hot water is most often needed, and you should also take into account the layout to the point of water intake.Any model is designed for installation either horizontally or vertically, which is noted in the equipment passport. It is best to entrust the professionals to fix the device to the surface, the regulation of operating modes and connection to the power grid. To connect the water heater it is necessary to strictly follow the rules for connecting equipment.

To do this, you need to arm yourself with the following:

• Thermex heater;
• anchor fasteners;
• pipelines for distributing;
• flange connections, nipples and fasteners.

Heaters are mounted on the surface according to the scheme. At the same time, it is necessary to know that the supports of the water-heating devices are measured with the center of gravity, and not vertically or horizontally. As a result, the holes for the anchors are drilled in accordance with the heels of the tank. After fastening to the surface, they are transferred to the piping. It is necessary to pay attention to the state of the power grid. The heater should have a separate line, and the socket should be located in the immediate vicinity of the equipment.

It is recommended to keep the plug of the device in a packed form until the heater is filled with water to avoid accidentally turning it on. Only after full filling of the container and checking the tightness of the seams can the equipment be plugged in. The tank is considered complete if the fluid from the drain goes under pressure. The heater in the kit is equipped with a cord with a plug, providing for the equipment grounding. The instrument case also has a point for grounding.

When operating on water heaters, salt deposits gradually appear, which impair the heat exchange process. Despite the existing filter element at the suction of the supply fluid, the walls of the inner tank tend to accumulate sediment. The result is a fault relay and sensors.

Repair is necessary in the following conditions:

• water heats up longer than usual;
• extraneous sounds when heated;
• frequent switching on with the operation of the protection system;
• deterioration of the quality of heated water;
• water does not heat up.

You can do your own hands to replace or clean the heating parts, as well as flushing the tank. If the control unit fails, it is necessary to contact the specialized center for the purpose of adjustment. Before any repair work, the first thing to do is to disconnect the device. To do this, remove the water from the tank by means of a crane, supplying air to displace the liquid from the tank. Replacing heating elements and descaling them is carried out after complete dismantling of the equipment.

When replacing elements of heating elements you need to know that most models of heaters consist of two heating elements and two magnesium anodes. When installing the boiler should not be allowed to skew. Sealing elements must be cleaned, flanged connections are mounted crosswise. If the water has a high rigidity, there is a need for frequent tank drainage and cleaning of both heating elements and the bottom of the tank from precipitation.

If scale builds up on the walls of the tank, the heating process deteriorates. To do this, remove the faulty element and carefully descale it, then check the performance of the magnesium anode, and replace it if necessary. In other cases, repair of boilers is carried out in service centers using original spare parts forThermex water heaters.

After installing the water heater go to start it. To properly perform this process, it is recommended to follow the instructions for use of the heating apparatus. Competent start determines the service life of the boiler and the frequency of service. Starting and setting the boiler modes will differ depending on the type of water heater. However, in general, the order of inclusion is based on the same principles. It looks like this:

• Before turning on the device, it is necessary to close the shut-off valve for supplying hot water from the common riser. This must be done even with a check valve;
• then proceed to fill the tank with liquid and air displacement;
• after which you should plug in the socket and adjust the settings. The equipment can be operated in a few hours.

To test the Thermex water heater, you need to perform the following steps:

• notice the power indicators turn on (they start to burn);
• determine the temperature of the liquid at the exit of the mixer;
• after 20-25 minutes, you can see the increased temperature values ​​on the touch panel.
