3 ATON Atmo 10ЕВМ
In the CIS countries, gas is supplied at a lower pressure than in Europe, moreover, due to the high degree of wear on the lines, accidents often occur. With a critical drop in pressure, foreign equipment designed for an indicator of 20 mbar begins to work at a third of its capabilities or stops altogether. That is why residents of small settlements, where this problem is most urgent, prefer to buy inexpensive boilers adapted to local conditions for gas supply. These include ATON Atmo 10ЕВМ, which is ready to heat the house with the declared power even at 13 mbar.
What is also important, the device does not require an electrical connection and functions under conditions of natural circulation of the coolant in the circuit due to the difference in the density of cold and hot water. Model 10EBM is a double-circuit one and carries out instantaneous heating of water up to 45 °, which makes it suitable for sanitary purposes. The unit belongs to the economy class, so from the safety and comfort elements it provides only a non-volatile gas sensor, a draft sensor and a built-in thermometer.
