Not far off the launch of the first power unit of the nuclear power plant in the Republic of Belarus. It is believed that electricity will sharply become cheaper for the inhabitants of Belarus and this is a good reason to think about using an electric boiler for heating a private house or apartment.
Whether the electricity will become more affordable or not, frankly, no one knows, but you can use the electric boiler today. Modern devices are designed for various heating areas, equipped with different functions and can have a variety of equipment. In the intricacies and differences of electric boilers that are sold in Belarus, we will try to figure it out with Anton Leonidovich, a senior engineer of KTL. By.
What are electric boilers
The choice of electric heating boilers is not as large as gas or solid fuel heating boilers, but the use of a certain extent is much more comfortable and safer than analogues on a different type of fuel. The equipment supply kit is different and carries a certain functionality. One electric boiler can be heated by both a small country house or bathhouse, as well as a large warehouse. On sale you can find cathode devices, mini electric boats and instruments with built -in thermal. This article will talk about the choice of household electric boles in which heating elements are heating elements. Such devices are designed on an area of up to 500 m2.
Electric boilers are compact, are a wall structure and can eat from a 220 or 380 in network. When choosing any heating boiler, engineers use the formula for calculating thermal energy. 1 kW of heat is required for 10 m2 of heated area, provided that the average heat insulation, standard Belarusian winters and ceilings heights are not higher than 2.5 meters. Each case is individual and for heating 10 m2 may be needed more or less than 1 kW of thermal energy.
Complete and functionality
Wall electric boilers are used as the main source of heat in the house, or as additional, the equipment of the equipment also depends on this. If the device is used as a backup boiler, then it can be without an expansion tank and pump, t. To. A pump or expansion tank can already be installed in the system. There are options for equipping an electric boiler with a pump without an expansion tank or vice versa. In cases where there are no other boilers in the system, and the electric device is the only one, the best option will be the full set that includes:
expansion tank;
pump;
automatic reset valve;
expansion tank;
Weekly programmer.
The degree of automation of the process of the electric boiler is different in all models. The most economical purchase option is a device with an integrated temperature regulator of a weekly cycle. This is necessary to set the required temperature on a certain day of the week or the time of the day. Suppose that you are leaving home for the weekend, and there is no need to maintain a comfortable for living temperature. In this case, you can set a mode about 10 ° C for the period of the absence of the owners in the house, but in order to return your comfortable degrees a couple of hours before returning, the boiler began to give out your comfortable degrees. You can also save well if you establish reduced parameters for the period of finding family members at school, at work, institute, etc. D. In addition to a weekly programming, an electric boiler can be equipped with a remote control and control the microclimate in the house, sitting at work at a computer or while studying, through a mobile phone.
Wall electric boilers have one heating circuit and are designed to heat the coolant in batteries or warm floors. Using the boiler, you can prepare water for the DHW system by connecting an indirect heating boiler. The issue of expediency here is quite seriously, because you can mount such a system, and it will work successfully, but it will be unnecessary costs. Why do this if you can install a separate electric boiler? It is better to let two independent electrical appliances be, so that in case of failure of the boiler, you do not be left without hot water.
To make a conscious choice in favor of a certain heating unit, you need to know exactly what requirements will be presented to the boiler. In order not to get confused in the variety of models, specialists of our online store KTL. By can help in making a decision or advise on the features of equipment operation.
