TOP 5 best non-volatile gas boilers for heating
Autonomous heating systems based on gas boilers are considered the most convenient and efficient. They almost do not need constant attention, they are able to maintain a constant temperature, they have protection against possible problems - overheating, flame extinction, and other malfunctions. However, most units are too dependent on the availability and quality of power supply. Any voltage drops become the reasons for the failure of the control board or other devices, and a power outage completely stops the operation of the heating system. To solve these problems, non-volatile gas boilers are used.
Device
The main elements of non-volatile units are the primary (main) heat exchanger and gas burner. They provide the main function of the boiler.
In addition, the structure includes:
- three-way valve, in which the temperature of the coolant is brought to the set value;
- gas equipment providing control and fuel supply;
- secondary heat exchanger (only for dual-circuit models);
- temperature and pressure sensors.
The list of units is small, but this is the main advantage of non-volatile boilers. The fewer parts, the higher the strength and resistance to loads of the structure as a whole.
Views
There are not so many varieties of non-volatile boilers as there are more modern dependent models. For example, there are no turbocharged units (with mechanical air supply).
There are the following varieties:
- single-circuit. Provide only heating of the heating agent for the heating circuit;
- double-circuit. They perform two functions - heating the coolant and preparing hot water.
By installation method:
- wall. They are installed in a hinged way on load-bearing walls or strong vertical surfaces;
- floor. installed on the floor or on a non-combustible stand. Most non-volatile units are made in floor-standing design;
- parapet. These are units that have the characteristics of several groups of gas boilers. They have a lot of features that make them practical and user-friendly.
Principle of operation
The operation of a non-volatile boiler is based on flow heating of the coolant in the flame of a gas burner. The liquid enters the boiler, goes through the heating stage and enters the three-way valve.
There, a colder "return" is mixed in a certain ratio. This allows you to give the coolant the temperature set by the mode. If the boiler is double-circuit, then a secondary heat exchanger is installed between the main heat exchanger and the three-way valve to prepare hot water supply.
Smoke is removed by natural draft, therefore, a connection to a communal chimney of sufficient length is required.
Liquid circulation also occurs naturally, which requires compliance with the standard slope when installing the system.
