At the present time, when tariffs for utility services are growing every day, and their quality leaves much to be desired, many are moving to autonomous heating. The most common option is the installation of a gas boiler.

Design, scope of application, dignity and disadvantages of gas boilers

• The gas heating boiler presents the thermal equipment, which consists of a gas burner, heat exchanger, reinforcement, temperature sensors, controls, etc.
• It works on natural or liquefied gas.

• The gas boiler has a wide scope of application. It is usually used for heating apartments in high-rise buildings, country houses and country cottages, small private households, etc.
• Such boilers have a lot of advantages in comparison with other types of heating devices. First of all, this is an economic benefit, simplicity due to the full automation of such equipment, high efficiency even with low power, corrosion resistance and durability.

At the same time, you should not forget that when installing the gas boiler, to which special safety requirements are presented, it is necessary to obtain a permit in advance with communal services in advance, as well as provide good ventilation of the room.

Criteria for choosing a gas boiler

• There is a huge number of different types of gas boilers, which may differ between themselves not only worth and design, but also constructive features, in the installation, the principle of work, capacity and productivity.
• Therefore, in order to choose the right to choose this equipment, first of all, it is necessary to determine what purpose it will be used: exclusively for heating a particular room or including for heat-generation of an apartment or at home.
• Also, at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the features of the room, the ability to provide good ventilation and the presence of chimney in it, there are interruptions with electricity supply, etc.

One or two contours?

• There are one and two-circuit gas boilers today. What is the difference between them? Dual-circuit gas boilers are used simultaneously to supply heat and hot water to the house, unlike single-circuit, which are used only for heating.
• Therefore, for heat-generation, specialists are recommended along with a single-circuit boiler to use an electric boiler.

Power

• The power of the gas boiler is one of the most important criteria that needs to be considered when choosing such equipment.
• And, according to experts, 10 m2 of the area of \u200b\u200bheated premises requires 1 kW of the boiler power. Of course, it is the average, as it also needs to be taken into account architectural features, for example, the height of the ceilings, as well as the associated possible heat loss.
• In addition, for double-circuit boilers, which, in addition to heating, must provide heat-generation in the house, the capacity will be much more than for single-circuit.

Method of installation

Depending on where and how the gas boiler will be installed, such devices are customary to divide into two types:

• outdoor gas boilers are a reliable high-power equipment, which is designed for the heating of large rooms with an area of \u200b\u200b200 square meters. Outdoor boilers, as a rule, occupy a lot of space, however, their cost is more attractive for buyers;

• wall-mounted gas boilers are compact and convenient devices that are mounted on the wall and are suitable for the heating of premises with a useful area of \u200b\u200bup to 200 square meters. With all the advantages of such boilers, do not forget that they are highly dependent, as they have a built-in pump for water circulation, which has a power supply. In addition, wall boilers cost more outdoor.

Design

All gas boilers differ from each other and their constructive features, namely the presence of a closed or open combustion chamber.

• Gas boilers with an open fuel combustion chamber take the air out of the room, so they need a chimney compound for their operation.
• And the boilers with a closed combustion chamber on the contrary need air inflow outside, so they cannot without a coaxial chimney or holes in the wall.

Manufacturers
