How does an Ariston water heater work? Types of equipment and principle of operation - Setafi

A world-famous company of high-quality household products - Ariston, more than once proves its status and recognition to users. Whatever rating you open, you can find its equipment on any site. The company has its branches in more than 150 countries of the world, which is why its products are so widespread and in demand. Including models of Ariston boilers. We will talk about them in detail in the next 2 minutes.

The principle of operation of the water heater Ariston

The principle of operation of the Ariston boiler is no different in general terms - there is a tank in which water is heated using an electric element. The essence of all devices lies in the details, including:

• the speed of water heating;
• initial power;
• the amount of electricity consumed;
• the price of equipment;
• the possibility of independent replacement of parts;
• terms and conditions of installation.

The heating time of Ariston depends on which heating element is inserted inside the drive: dry or wet.

A more “sparing” option for technology is the use of a dry heating element, since it does not leave behind a large accumulation of scale on the walls. Some types of Ariston water heaters can be purchased starting from 4-5 thousand rubles. At the same time, it will look no worse than its expensive competitors.

First, the boiler warms up the water to a predetermined temperature, and then turns off, keeping the temperature insulated with walls. After the indicator decreases, the automation works and the heating element turns on again. And so in a circle. You can even customize the on/off ranges of the device to save more power.

The dimensions of the Ariston boiler allow the installation of the device both on the wall and on the floor. Think first about where you will put the unit: someone has weak walls, while others have no space on the floor. Everything is selected individually.

The functional features of a particular model differ in the size of the Ariston water heater tank. There are devices for both 30 and up to 150 liters. But think for yourself: why do you need to buy a device for 100 liters for one or two people in a family, if it will only “eat” an electrician, like for ten? For 3-4 people, according to statistics, an 80-liter tank is enough.

Where does the Ariston water heater work

It is equally important to know the areas in which it is unacceptable to install electronics, otherwise it will simply fail. The operating instructions for each model clearly spell out the conditions for using the boiler.

The main conditions under which it is impossible to mount heaters:

• frost - temperature drops will not only prevent the water from heating up, but will also damage all electronics;
• sunlight - in general, nothing should be placed under direct sunlight. Especially, in recent times, when the sun has more harmful effects than good;
• power outages - instability of the power supply in the network will lead to a short circuit or overload of the boiler. Then such only on garbage;
• gases and dust - it is strictly forbidden to park the car in places where they actively "live": dust, ash, corrosive gases and substances;
• dampness - constant high humidity in the room will affect not only the tank, but also the connecting elements. You won’t have time to look back, as it will short-circuit the wiring and corrode all the hinges.

Why Ariston water heater is chosen from other boilers

Products ideally describe the parameter of conformity "Price-quality". And negative reviews are received only when someone did not have the knowledge or experience to repair or install the unit correctly.

The main advantages of the company's heaters, which users have long found:

• fast heating of even a large tank;
• use of "batch heating";
•  preliminary purification from harmful substances before supplying water to the consumer;
• economical filling of the tank;
•  the use of anti-corrosion anodes with magnesium coating;
• a wide range of models both in size and power.

Which water heater from Ariston is better to buy

In short, any device definitely deserves your attention. Below are the boilers that are most often bought on the pages of online stores:

1. ABS VLS (VELIS) ​​EVO PW 50 is a storage water heater with electric elements, thermometer, fast heating function. At the same time, additional protection against sudden activation when the tank is empty is provided.
2. NTS 80V 1.5K SU 3700366 - storage type water heater for 80 liters. It has an external temperature setting.
3. ABS VLS EVO INOX PW 80 D is another “friend” of the previous 80 liter model. 2 heaters are built into the case at once and a stepped tank is thought out - for batch heating.
4. ABS PRO R 100 V is a 100 liter storage boiler. The model can be installed in a vertical position. Overheating protection and reliable thermoregulation are provided.
5. ABS ANDRIS LUX 30 is a “warmer” of the minimum size – only 30 liters. The tank is made of steel with an economical inner layer that does not let heat out.

How to connect an Ariston water heater so that it works for a long time and without repair

To begin with, we choose a place where we will mount the installation (floor or wall) and you need to make sure that there is already a pipe for supplying cold liquid. The most advantageous location is right next to the source of water intake. So we will reduce the heat loss at the exit.

If there is a collector, we immediately attach a “cold pipe” to the system. We didn’t think about the presence of a boiler in advance - just insert a triple adapter into any place in your water supply. In a plastic pipe, this is not difficult to do. On metal - just seat the adapter on the thread, after wrapping all the joints with sealant.

In a separate place, we install a mixer for emergency shutdown of the cold water supply.

To properly connect the water heater, you need:

1. Do not confuse hot and cold water inlets. A non-return valve is installed on the latter - it is often placed complete with a boiler. Hot - mounted on the pipe.
2. As a sealant for threaded connections, we always use fumlent.
3. You still need to install a tee on a cold pipe, on one of the sides of which we put a relief valve. On the second side we put an emergency drain valve. The next step is to connect to the water supply itself.
4. Hot water is adjusted through a shut-off valve.
5. When pipes of different diameters or materials are connected, do not forget about adapters.

How to connect the device to the network:

1. In the shield you need to mount a separate automatic power supply (or RCD), which we attach to the central "plug". From the installed RCD we release a cable for 3 cores to the boiler.
2. We take a switch for 16 A. Installation is carried out in a humid place, so sockets can behave unpredictably - and such a switch is enough. We fix our shutdown system in a separate box to protect it from moisture. Believe me, this is much cheaper to do than buying all the moisture-resistant sockets and adapters.
3. We connect the switch and RCD with a cable.
4. Remove the bottom cover of the boiler and attach the wires to the heater.
5. We connect the output of the machine to the water storage tank.
6. We connect the ground, phase and zero.

Before switching on, we check all the wires, the sealing and the quality of the connections. After opening the tap with cold water and wait until the tank is full. We release excess air with a hot water mixer. And only after that you can safely turn on the machine and start the system.
