Recently in the market of heating equipment condensing boilers have become more and more confident position. This type of boiler equipment is characterized by the highest level of efficiency, high energy-saving properties and the lowest level of pollutant emissions.
Condensing boilers Ariston
In practical Europe, condensing boilers represent around 70% of the gas boiler market. In the EU countries, where special attention is paid to environmental issues and energy saving, the government encourages the transition to new condensing boilers as they have the highest efficiency and the lowest emissions to date. And in America, due to the constant rise in energy prices, also think about alternative ways of heating.
BACKGROUND
The principle of the condensing boiler has been known since the last century and is based on the use of heat released by water vapor during condensation. Thanks to the special design of the boiler, this heat is also used to heat the coolant. But they began to effectively develop this direction recently when it became possible to use corrosion-resistant alloys and stainless steels in the design of boilers. In addition, the creation of condensing boiler models by manufacturers of heating equipment has pushed the rise in energy prices.
BURN, BURN CLEARLY
Another advantage of condensing boilers is the use of high-tech burners that ensure preparation of the air-fuel mixture in optimal proportions for a given combustion mode. Probability of incomplete fuel combustion is minimized and the temperature of flue gases does not exceed 40° C, allowing the use of energy hidden in the flue gases.
THE GENIUS OF HEAT
In order to save money, our fellow citizens install gas boilers in apartments mainly in old buildings and country houses. The most advanced users put condensing boilers, which itself reduces costs and maximizes the use of energy resources. ARISTON Thermo company, one of the leading manufacturers of heating equipment, has released a line of wall mounted single-circuit condensing boilers Genus Premium Evo System. The manufacturer claims that this range has an efficiency factor of 108% 98% efficiency factor , while traditional units barely exceed 80%.
EFFICIENCY
Thanks to the latest condensing technology, the Ariston Genus Premium Evo System gas boilers allow not to lose the heat emitted during combustion of gas, but use it to obtain additional energy and thus save up to 35% of the fuel consumed per season. The level of NOx and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere is 75% lower than in non-condensing boilers. The consumer will appreciate the new Ariston appliances: They do not only heat your home creating a comfortable microclimate, but also provide significant savings in energy consumption, have a high efficiency even under low loads, provide gas savings through optimized modes of operation.
The devices are equipped with a stainless steel premix burner that is resistant to condensate, which is a weakly acidic solution.
Thanks to the continuous electronic flame modulation and the pre-mixing of gas and air, the burner ensures effective, nearly complete combustion of the air-gas mixture. All products of this line are adapted to American conditions: devices work stable even if main gas pressure is low up to 5 mbar and water supply pressure is low. The smooth change of output with a modulation depth of 1:10 allows you to adjust the load level to the required amount of heat, providing temperature stability and additional savings in gas.
CONTROL
All Genus Premium Evo System line devices have a matrix display with a russified interface and backlight. All components of the heating system are connected by a single communication protocol, which allows fast communication, more typical of industrial systems. With the display and control panel, the user can easily set the desired modes. In the event of malfunction, an error code appears on the screen, so it’s easy for both user and technician to know what’s wrong. The safety system responds to everything from a power failure to a clogged chimney. In the case of a malfunction, the device simply shuts down, thereby preventing an accident. The control unit already complies with future European ERP regulations and can be integrated with renewable energy equipment.
AVAILABILITIES
AUTO function
– Home comfort and gas savings with one solution. The power setting is automatic, taking into account fluctuations in room temperature and ambient temperature, and the technology leads to shorter ignition cycles, lower gas consumption and a longer life of the appliance.
Comfort function
– For the fast heating of the water in 5 seconds the appliance independently removes the clogged water from the water surface. of the required temperature in the flow-through mode.
Personal menu
– The boiler interface can be adjusted according to the user requirements, displaying either only the basic information or all parameters, including data from the solar heating system.
Quiet
– Heat generators are equipped with new silencers and soundproofing panels, which significantly reduces the noise. Sound pressure level is only 33.4 dB. For comparison – a running modern refrigerator “sounds” about 40 dB.
Automatic venting function
– The device independently removes clogging from the boiler and the heating system.
Frost protection function
– The unit is protected against freezing, scale formation and blockage of the circulation pump and three-way valve.
Self-diagnostic function
And the alarm log.
But an advanced boiler is not all. To heat your home more efficiently, there are several factors to consider.
HEATING
High-quality insulation makes for a comfortable indoor atmosphere in any weather as well as reduces heating costs. With reliable insulation the cost is reduced by an average of 2 times, regardless of the equipment used.
The thermal losses can be reduced through the use of advanced thermal insulation technology. For example, one of the best quality materials with low thermal conductivity is polystyrene foam, designed to insulate facades.
Particular attention should be paid to windows, because it is the main source of heat loss. Plastic windows are actively used today in country houses. But it is not a panacea for draughts.
For example, to fill the gaps between the frame and the wall, use professional one-component polyurethane foams e.g. from Tytan . Sufficient and good expansion and high adhesion to surfaces. But without additional protection any foam is subject to destruction, forming a leaky connection between the window and the opening. Therefore, after filling the gaps, it is necessary to ensure that the window joints are insulated from precipitation and other climatic factors of the environment. A special tape with waterproofing and vapor permeable properties will help. Additional protection from the street side is provided by vapor-permeable self-expanding sealing tape PSUL, trademark Tytan. Some manufacturers offer complete solutions including all of the above products. For example, the EuroWindow system by Selena.
GAS
After insulation it is time to think about heating. There is no ideal choice, but the most economical choice is a gas boiler. It has the advantage of low energy costs and gentle, even heating. Gas heating is excellent for homes larger than 100 m². With such an area heating with electricity is unprofitable or impossible because of the limitation of kW per site.
AUTOMATICS
The next step on the path to economical heating is the use of automation. To track changes in weather conditions and adjust the boiler power in time to avoid overloading, outdoor sensors are installed. Room sensors are used inside the house. Their installation requires the laying of pipes that connect the sensors with the boiler, so it is recommended to do this work during the construction of the building. But if the building is ready, you can buy a wireless model.
You also need a programmer. It offers the owner both a manual and automatic way to control the temperature of the home. In the manual mode, the owner sets the desired level of heating in the room, which will be maintained for a certain period of time. The automatic has the ability to program “scenarios” for different times of day. For example, during the absence of tenants, the programmer holds a lower temperature, sufficient for the heating system to function in the long-term absence of the owners of +5 ° C , and their arrival home is heated to +23 ° C.
Such big manufacturers of heating equipment as Ariston Thermo offer not only external and internal sensors and programmers but also more advanced devices. For example, a remote control boiler Sensys.
This device is designed for complete control of the heating system. It not only allows you to regulate the “weather” in the house and program heating for a day or week. Sensys also displays the amount of energy saved in kW, the current heating source and the hot water reserve when an external indirect water heater is connected.
It is worth noting that, as a rule, automatic control devices are not so expensive. Therefore, their installation will pay for itself rather quickly, and comfort and warmth will stay with you for many years.
