How to choose a liquid fuel boiler

When choosing a boiler for power, they also take into account the formula according to which 10 sq. m requires 1 kW of energy. To prevent the device from operating at maximum power, its maximum indicator must exceed the theoretical calculation by 15-20%. In the case of using a double-circuit liquid fuel boiler, I add another 20% to the resulting figure for heating the water.

First of all, the advantage of a liquid fuel boiler is revealed at the design stage. Compared to gas supply, there are significant cost savings.To install a diesel device, you do not need to coordinate documents with numerous authorities. Approximately, up to 120,000 rubles have to be spent on obtaining permits and preparing a gas supply project. Laying the pipeline to the house and wiring will cost about the same.
Car workshop owners should take a closer look at liquid fuel boilers that run not only on diesel fuel, but also on used engine oil. In this case, the cost of heating the room can be minimized.
As for the cost of heating a house, the calculation of diesel fuel is performed based on a simple formula. To obtain 10 kW of heat energy, 1 kg of diesel fuel per hour is burned. To maintain heat in a house of 100 sq. m. during the day you will have to stock up on 24 kg of diesel fuel. The monthly consumption of liquid fuel will be about 720 kg. If the heating season lasts 7 months, then it will take up to 5000 kg (4300-4400 liters) of diesel fuel for heating.

When determining a manufacturer, experts conditionally divide all firms into several categories.

Leading positions are occupied by such German brands of liquid fuel boilers as Viessmann Vitorondens, Buderus Logano, Vaillant iroVIT VKO. They traditionally stand out for their excellent quality and functionality.
Serious competition, both in price and quality, is imposed on them by heating devices from France and Italy De Dietrich, Fondital Capri, as well as the South Korean brands Kiturami and Navien.
Relatively recently, the products of Finnish DanVex B and American EnergyLogic EL companies appeared on the domestic market. They were able to offer the domestic consumer interesting devices for high-level Russian conditions.
