Types of gas boilers

Since ancient times, humanity has used fire to cook food, warm and dry clothes, and even for defense and attack, as a weapon. He had long ago become more of a friend than an enemy. It can only become an enemy if you are not careful about it. And this can lead to dire consequences.

The first raw material for heat production was solid fuel, such as firewood, coal, etc. The development of technology made it possible to begin using electricity, oil products, solar energy and natural gas for this purpose. Gas boilers have become very popular nowadays. Such equipment is an autonomous source. An undeniable advantage is manifested when installing a system for obtaining hot water and heat in apartments and houses, in gasified areas. Compared to its analogues, gas heating systems are among the most affordable and economical. Today, natural gas remains the most inexpensive resource in our country.

Heat is obtained for heating running water or a closed loop heating system due to heating when gas is burned in the combustion chamber of the boiler.

There are many different models and types of gas equipment designed for residential apartments or houses on the market.

Classification by installation location

The gas boiler is a modern automated device. By developing gas technology, it was possible to equip it not only with a modern gas heating device, but also with reliable automation. For use in residential apartments and houses, different types of gas boilers are offered: floor-mounted and wall-mounted.

Gas boilers with wall installation

Compact mini-boiler rooms equipped with all elements. Completely fitting elements in one wall-mounted block. Contains:

• heating element;
• heat exchange unit;
• burner;
• expansion tank;
• automation.

Very convenient design, especially for apartments and small houses. Its compact placement is convenient in small rooms and special places designated for this.

Floor placement of a gas boiler

Floor-standing boilers are not limited in size and weight, as with wall mounting, which is why manufacturers produce these models with greater power. The heating boiler system resembles a small boiler room. Its component parts sometimes occupy a small room. Includes:

• boiler;
• circulation pump;
• tank for maintaining working pressure in the pipe system;
• a device to ensure safe operation of the water heater.

All these parts take up space and are located, although they are located nearby, but with the routing of connecting pipes it turns out to be quite a voluminous system. For placement, you will need to allocate or plan the usable area of ​​the house.Sometimes this is impossible to do, this becomes the reason for the use of combined heating devices, for example, a gas and, in addition, an electric water heater.

REFERENCE. A good advantage of the bulky parts of the gas boiler system can be considered an increase in power by connecting additional inflatable burners. The use of this element makes it possible to achieve a power of more than several thousand kilowatts.

Difference in functionality

Gas heating equipment is divided according to functional operation into single-circuit and double-circuit.

Single-circuit

The peculiarity of the operation of a single-circuit heating system is that it is designed only to provide heating in the building. Hot water is not heated; if there is a need for it, an additional boiler is connected.

Dual-circuit

The dual-circuit system differs from the previous one in that it immediately takes into account the heating of hot water. Note that the cost of equipping a single-circuit system with an additional unit is higher than that of a double-circuit system.

Some features of the equipment

A large number of connections of consumer points leads to a decrease in the quality of heating. This can be compensated for by installing additional equipment. Although financially this is quite a costly undertaking.

REFERENCE. The distance to the points where hot water is supplied to consumers and the size of the area of ​​the heated room greatly influence the correct operation of the equipment.

To summarize, we can safely say that all types and types of heating boilers have their own purpose. It is impossible to single out the best and the worst. All of them are stuffed with good, reliable automation. They work smoothly and perform their task perfectly.In each specific case, a different set of gas heating equipment systems is used. Each buyer will find his own set of equipment necessary specifically for his use and placement.
