Wiring diagram for boiler with two circuits
The gas, which are connected urban homes, businesses and public institutions, is the most expensive fuel. Even with the paperwork and approvals in several instances the installation of gas boilers justified. Properly chosen model can serve and the heating system and the sanitary water supply.
The boiler is installed in an easy to access location. With proven in practice connection diagrams bypass gas unit will introduce the recommended article us. It is necessary to provide a secure, compliant installation corresponding gas pipe liner and output chimney for the transport of combustion products.
Wiring diagram wall double boiler. Yellow line - a natural gas supply, blue - cold-water, red - hot water, violet and pink - heating circuit
The boiler is fed cold water, after heating (at a certain temperature), it conveyed to the draw-off points, the main ones are the shower, bath, washbasin in the kitchen.
Plants in-house network - it is a closed loop with a circulating heat carrier servicing the system "warm floor", radiators, convectors and heated towel rail in the bathroom.
When choosing a boiler must take into account his performance as the dual-circuit equipment consumer class is not designed to service a large number of connected devices and vodorazdachi heating
An alternative model is the dual-mounting installation kit 1-circuit boiler + BKN where Indirect heating boiler It serves the hot water supply system. This scheme is good because it is always present in the taps hot water is the correct temperature.
boiler installation Less easily understood by the owners of houses and apartments with a deficit-free area. Another drawback concerns the cost of the kit with single-circuit boiler - it comes out more expensive than the double-pressure boiler
The dual-circuit models of heating and hot water do not overlap in the device which gives their bonuses. For example, as the coolant is used does not versatile filler - water, and the special solution.
Advantages wall double boilers
Saving space in a cramped apartment - this is just one advantage of boilers with two circuits (DC). There are a number of advantages that make it the wall of DC is selected as basic equipment for water heating and domestic organization of autonomous systems.
Here are a few reasons to buy 2-circuit wall Model:
- this equipment, the maximum equipped for heating water and further its distribution not requiring additional devices;
- DC can be installed in the entrance hall, equipped with windows or ventilation outlet, or kitchen, it does not require a separate room;
- due to its compact size boilers are mounted in recesses or corners, camouflage in kitchen cabinets;
- Automatic equipment allows to maintain the desired water temperature, which is not dependent on pressure or temperature of the air vibrations;
- current models are characterized by high efficiency and economy;
- one of the conditions in a building installation (flat) - low, comfortable for occupants noise level;
- the cost of domestic models can be called moderate, the same applies to the service.
For modifications wall with closed combustion chamber equipped with a simplified variant of the chimney instead of the vertical passing through the roof, equip the coaxial versionOutputted to the outside through a nearby wall.
In apartment buildings smoke channel being constructed in the form of a bent knee from modular elements or corrugations and connects to Public chimney.
What to look for when choosing equipment?
Depending on the requirements to the equipment, the selection criteria may vary, but in any case it is necessary understand the technical characteristics, features and even such seemingly small things as accurate sizes.
Correctly chosen model - is one that simultaneously provides building the necessary amount of hot water, low-interference in the work process, and fits into the interior design
First, consider the main technical nuances.
Thermal power and performance
The main function of the gas boiler - increase the temperature for hot water and heating, however the power parameters to be considered in the first place. They can be found in the technical data sheet device. To find out if a power boiler for your home / apartment, you should do some simple calculations.
It is considered that for every 10 m² served space heating is required for normal 1 kW. But this average figure, applied to housing with good insulation. Taking into account the climatic characteristics and the need for water heating and for hot water, it is possible to result still increase by 35-40 percent.
Power - vacillates, so the technical documentation often possible to meet min and max value, for example 10 kW / 24 kW
The more powerful the equipment, the more productive it is. Performance indicated in the data sheet, makes it clear how many liters of water is heated for 1 minute to the desired temperature.
Are two parameters - temperature 25 ° C and 35 ° C. Some mistakenly take these figures for the water temperature at the exit, but it is not. This difference between the inlet temperature and the already heated water.
Assume that the inlet coolant temperature is 10 ° C, thus at 35 ° C in water gets cranes 45 ° C. At 25 ° C the water is heated more quickly, therefore, the heating rate above.
If at 25 ° C the performance is equal to 13 l / min, then at 35 ° C, it is about 9 l / min. Of course, these values will be more accurate if the water pressure and the gas pressure will conform to the standards that are in testing taking into account manufacturer.
What heat better?
The heat exchanger is intended to transfer heat from the hot gases (combustion) heat carrier, distributed in two systems. Selection is facing the two types of elements: a pair of separate (primary + secondary) and Bithermal.
In devices with separate primary heat exchanger has the form of tubes with plates and stored over the gas burners and the secondary looks like a few broad plates assembled together and having a nozzle 4 for connection 2 instead. Origin is responsible for the heating system, the second - for heating water for domestic hot water.
Scheme of separate heat exchangers in the water heating operation for domestic hot water. Above the gas burner (1) and the igniter (2) is the primary heat exchanger (3). The secondary heat exchanger (4) is located below and is connected to a three-way valve (7)
If we use the hot water tap, the work flow sensor (6) and the water under the action of the circulation pump (5) will be supplied to the primary heat exchanger, but for DHW loop.
The second type - bithermal exchanger - characterized in that it serves both circuits: and hot water and heating.
It has a special design of pipes in which water for DHW moves along the inner channel and heat carrier for heating - on the outside. Advantages of Bi-thermal heat exchanger: saves space inside the housing, a simplified design of the boiler, the lower price.
However, when choosing increasingly inclined to purchase devices with separate heat exchangers for the following reasons:
- elements rarely fail due to the formation of scale and sludge;
- primary heat exchanger is easier to clean and rinse;
- the boiler can be repaired by parts;
- no risk of a burn due to excessive hot water (secondary only heats up to 60 ° C).
If there is a choice between expensive models, we suggest condensing type that are economical and significantly more power.
Driving device condensing boiler. The energy produced due to the settling on the walls of tubes of water vapor serves to heat the heat medium. The resultant condensate is given into the sewers
The cost of condensing units starts from 100 thousand. rub. An example is the line of eco the German manufacturer Vaillant.
What are the combustion chamber?
From the combustion chamber design depends chimney device and ventilation, so it must also be taken into account. A choice between two types: open and closed, which differ fundamentally.
Open combustion chamber located above the burner, under the hood, and connected to a vertically oriented chimney. The combustion air is taken directly from the room (kitchen, hallway, boiler room).
For units with open chambers to satisfy more stringent requirements: the need for separate vertical chimney, the organization of adequate air flow and forced ventilation
In the closed type combustion air chamber passes through the coaxial flue passage therethrough same are ejected from the burner gases. Natural draft does not matter, since a centrifugal fan used to remove combustion products.
Preference is given to the device with a closed chamber, although they are more expensive. They do not need to be equipped with a separate chimney, besides, they have higher efficiency. Models with open chamber may be useful to replace the older devices, if the installation site is already equipped with a functioning ventilation and a vertical chimney.
Other important selection parameters
In addition to these structural characteristics, affects the performance and the cost of equipment, there are a number of features that facilitate the management and maintenance of the gas bypass boiler.
