Ionic heating boiler. Electrode boiler for heating a private house. What are the disadvantages of using

Many people associate electric heating at home with the installation of appropriate water boilers with heating elements, convectors or the installation of warm film floors. However, there are many more options. In modern private houses, electrode or ion boilers are installed, in which a pair of primitive electrodes transfer energy to the coolant without any intermediaries.

For the first time, ion-type heating boilers were developed and implemented in the Soviet Union to heat submarine compartments. The units did not cause additional noise, had compact dimensions, they did not need to design exhaust systems and effectively heated sea ​​water used as the main heat carrier.

The heat carrier that circulates through the pipes and enters the working tank of the boiler is in direct contact with the electric current. Ions charged with different signs begin to move chaotically and colliding. Due to the resulting resistance, the coolant heats up.

History of appearance and principle of operation

During just 1 second, each of the electrodes collides with the others up to 50 times, changing their sign. Due to the action of alternating current, the liquid does not divide into oxygen and hydrogen, retaining its structure. An increase in temperature leads to an increase in pressure, which forces the coolant to circulate.

To achieve the maximum efficiency of the electrode boiler, you will have to constantly monitor the ohmic resistance of the liquid. At a classic room temperature (20-25 degrees), it should not exceed 3 thousand ohms.

Distilled water must not be poured into the heating system. It does not contain any salts in the form of impurities, which means that you should not expect it to be heated in this way - there will be no medium between the electrodes for the formation of an electrical circuit.

Additional instructions on how to make an electrode boiler yourself

Features: advantages and disadvantages

The ionic-type electrode boiler is characterized not only by all the advantages of electric heating equipment, but also by its own characteristics. In an extensive list, the most significant ones can be distinguished:

• The efficiency of installations tends to the absolute maximum - not less than 95%
• No pollutants or ionic radiation harmful to humans are released into the environment
• High power in a body relatively small in size compared to other boilers
• It is possible to install several units at once to increase productivity, a separate installation of an ion-type boiler as an additional or backup heat source
• Small inertness makes it possible to quickly respond to changes in ambient temperature and fully automate the heating process by means of programmable automation
• No need for a chimney
• The equipment is not harmed by the insufficient amount of coolant inside the working tank
• Voltage surges do not affect heating performance and stability

How to choose an electric boiler for heating, you can

Of course, ion boilers have numerous and very significant advantages. If you do not take into account the negative aspects that arise more often during the operation of the equipment, all benefits are lost.

Among the negative aspects, it is worth noting:

About other methods electric heating Houses,

Device and technical characteristics

At first glance, the construction of an ion boiler is complicated, but it is simple and not compulsory. Externally, it is a steel seamless pipe, which is covered with a polyamide electrical insulating layer. Manufacturers have tried to protect people as much as possible from electric shock and expensive energy leaks.

In addition to the tubular body, the electrode boiler contains:

1. The working electrode, which is made of special alloys and is held by protected polyamide nuts (in models operating from a 3-phase network, three electrodes are provided at once)
2. Coolant inlet and outlet pipes
3. Grounding terminals
4. Terminals supplying power to the chassis
5. Rubber insulating gaskets

The outer shell of ionic heating boilers is cylindrical. Most common household models meet the following characteristics:

• Length - up to 60 cm
• Diameter - up to 32 cm
• Weight - about 10-12 kg
• Equipment power - from 2 to 50 kW

For domestic needs, compact single-phase models with a power of no more than 6 kW are used. There are enough of them to fully provide a cottage with an area of ​​80-150 square meters with heat. For large industrial areas, 3-phase equipment is used. An installation with a capacity of 50 kW is capable of heating a room up to 1600 sq. M.

However, the electrode boiler works most efficiently in conjunction with the control automation, which includes the following elements:

• Starter block
• Surge protection
• Control controller

Additionally, control GSM modules can be installed for remote activation or deactivation. Low inertness allows a quick response to temperature fluctuations in the environment.

Due attention should be paid to the quality and temperature of the coolant. The optimal liquid in a heating system with an ionic boiler is considered to be heated to 75 degrees. In this case, the power consumption will correspond to that specified in the documents. Otherwise, two situations are possible:

1. Temperature below 75 degrees - electricity consumption decreases along with the efficiency of the installation
2. Temperatures above 75 degrees - electricity consumption will increase, however, the already high efficiency rates will remain the same

A simple ionic boiler with your own hands

Having familiarized yourself with the features and principle by which ionic heating boilers function, it is time to ask the question: how to assemble such equipment with your own hands? First you need to prepare the tool and materials:

• Steel pipe with a diameter of 5-10 cm
• Ground and neutral terminals
• Electrodes
• Wires
• Metal tee and coupling
• Tenacity and desire

Before you start putting everything together, it is worth remembering three very important rules concerning safety:

• Only phase is applied to the electrode
• An exclusively neutral wire is fed to the body
• Reliable grounding must be provided

To assemble the ion electrode boiler, just follow the instructions below:

• First, a pipe with a length of 25-30 cm is prepared, which will act as a body
• The surfaces must be smooth and free of corrosion, the notches from the ends are cleaned
• On the one hand, electrodes are installed by means of a tee
• A tee is also required to organize the outlet and inlet of the coolant.
• On the second side, make a connection to the heating main
• Install an insulating gasket between the electrode and the tee (heat-resistant plastic is suitable)

• To achieve tightness, the threaded connections must be precisely matched to each other.
• To fix the zero terminal and grounding, 1-2 bolts are welded to the body

Putting everything together, you can embed the boiler into the heating system. Such homemade equipment is unlikely to be able to heat private house, but for small utility areas or a garage it will be an ideal solution. You can close the unit with a decorative cover, while trying not to restrict free access to it.

Features of installation of ionic boilers

A prerequisite for the installation of ionic heating boilers is the presence safety valve, pressure gauge and automatic air vent. The equipment must be positioned in a vertical position (horizontal or at an angle is unacceptable). At the same time, about 1.5 m of the supply pipes are not galvanized steel.

The zero terminal is usually located at the bottom of the boiler. A ground wire with a resistance of up to 4 ohms and a cross section of over 4 mm is connected to it. Do not rely solely on RAM - it cannot help with leakage currents. The resistance must also comply with the rules of the PUE.

If the heating system is completely new, there is no need to prepare the pipes - they must be clean inside. When the boiler crashes into an already operating line, it is imperative to flush it with inhibitors. There is a wide range of descaling, scale and descaling products on the markets. However, each manufacturer of electrode boilers indicates those that they consider to be the best for their equipment. Their opinion should be adhered to. Neglecting flushing will fail to establish an accurate ohmic resistance.

It is very important to select heating radiators for the ion boiler. Models with a large internal volume will not work, since more than 10 liters of coolant will be required for 1 kW of power. The boiler will constantly run, wasting some of the electricity in vain. The ideal ratio of the boiler output to the total volume of the heating system is 8 liters per 1 kW.

If we talk about materials, it is better to install modern aluminum and bimetallic radiators with minimal inertia. When choosing aluminum models, preference is given to the material of the primary type (not remelted). In comparison with the secondary, it contains fewer impurities, reducing the ohmic resistance.

Cast iron radiators are least compatible with the ion boiler, since they are most susceptible to contamination. If there is no way to replace them, experts recommend observing several important conditions:

• The documents must indicate compliance with the European standard
• Filters are required rough cleaning and sludge catchers
• Once again, the total volume of the coolant is produced and equipment suitable in terms of power is selected

Manufacturers and average cost

Many manufacturers of heating equipment have their own ranges of ion-type boilers. Among the most common on the market are the following brands:

• "EOU" (Ukraine)
• LLC "Stafor EKO" (Latvia)
• CJSC "Firm" Galan "(Russia)

Small power ion boilers (2-3 kW) cost about 3000-3500 thousand rubles... The higher the performance of the equipment, the higher the price. In addition to heating equipment, additional automation is required. It is purchased separately and will cost about 5-6.5 thousand rubles.

Due regard is paid to the warranty period before purchasing. Most manufacturers set it to be 2-3 years. Observing the operational requirements and regularly (every 3-4 years) replacing the electrodes, the service life can be extended to 10-12 years.

Summing up

Having analyzed all the pros and cons of ionic heating equipment, we can conclude that it is profitable. In some aspects he wins, in others he can lose significantly.

However, before choosing heating systems operating on electrical equipment, it is worth considering a number of features:

• If the radiators are divided into groups by floors, the installation of an ion boiler is recommended on each of them.
• It is recommended to wrap the pipes forming the contour with insulation
• You can use antifreeze as a coolant, taking into account its high fluidity

For systems, a warm plinth or warm floor, ion boilers are not suitable. They are not capable of reaching a constant operating temperature of 30-45 degrees.

And electrode. The latter will be discussed in the article.

Electrode boiler

Characteristic

An electrode boiler (also called an ionic or ion-exchange boiler) differs from other units operating from the network in that it has an open electrode to which a current is supplied.

Refers to direct heating devices, in which heat is directed directly to the energy carrier. This makes it possible to instantly increase the power of the structure, because there are no obstacles in the process of heat transfer.

Heating is carried out using electrodes, which are immersed in a tank with a liquid. The current is passed through the coolant with a frequency of 50 Hertz and creates a barrier for electrolysis. Therefore, the inside of the boiler remains free of scale deposits.

The heating process of the liquid occurs with the help of the emerging resistance. It happens very quickly. Thus, the container (tank) may not be large in size, since there is no need to wait for the element to heat the liquid. Such design properties of this boiler allow you to save the user's budget by reducing energy consumption in the heating system.

An electrode heating boiler is very sensitive to the composition of water, ordinary water from the mains cannot be used for the operation of the unit.

Before installation, special preparation of the fluid is required. It is good if there is antifreeze in stock that the manufacturer has recommended.

It also has one more feature, which is the gradual dissolution of the electrodes. This is a natural process, its acceleration and deceleration depends only on the degree of intensity of use of the heating system.

Advantages and disadvantages

To begin with, it is worth saying that it is advisable to install electrode boilers only in those places where there is reliable wiring and a stable network. If there is a periodic power outage and strong voltage drops, then it is not worth installing the electrode units, since they will not be able to work normally. However, in this case, a solution can also be found. For example, buy uninterruptible power system or a diesel generator.

It stores a small amount of energy, which should be sufficient for a couple of hours of boiler operation in an emergency. There are UPS models that adjust the voltage using a built-in stabilizer.

Advantages of an electrode heating boiler:

1. Safety for human health is at a high level. Ionic boilers for heating are designed in such a way that leakage of current is practically impossible. Fire is excluded, so the structure can be used to maintain a minimum temperature without constant human supervision.
2. Small dimensions and the possibility of installation in a heating network operating on gas fuel. It turns out that the electrode boiler starts up after stopping the supply of gas fuel.
3. Fast heating of the coolant, quiet operation, easy replacement of heating elements without replacing the whole device.
4. If desired, it can be installed in residential premises without installing a chimney and the boiler room itself.
5. High efficiency, which reaches 96% during operation, and when heated, the electricity saving is 40%. Plus the absence of dirt, dust, smoke and grime.

An electric electrode boiler on average consumes 40% less electricity than another heating device from the network. Users mark this nuance as the most important advantage of the unit.

Like any heating system, an electrode electric boiler has its drawbacks.

The disadvantages of these units include the following points:

• Considerable cost of electricity. Electricity is much more expensive than, for example, gas, but at the same time it is perfect for providing heat to a house that is located far from the village and is visited from time to time.
• Not versatility. An ionic boiler for heating a private house is often not compatible with some types of pipes and batteries. As an example, the use of cast iron radiators in the heating system can be cited, when problems arise due to irregularities on the inside, as well as a large volume of liquid. Typically one section of cast iron battery is rated for 2.5 liters of water.
• Usage problems. In this case, it is advisable to apply.
• The requirement of an ion-exchange electric boiler for a constant resistance of the coolant. It can be corrected by adding limescale additives.

Principle of operation and device

Electrode boiler device

Electrode boilers for heating a private house work according to the standard laws of physics. The liquid in the unit is heated not with the help of any element, but with the help of the molecular decomposition of water into differently charged ions. Two electrodes are mounted in the container with the coolant, and the electricity supply is started. Water molecules under the influence of a current with a frequency of 50 Hertz (number of vibrations per minute) are divided into positively charged and negatively charged ions. At the time of the separation process, heat is obtained. Each ion is drawn with its own charge to a specific electrode.

The water is heated very quickly, since the resistance of the coolant is high and the electrolysis process prevents the appearance of scale on the walls of the boiler. It can be concluded that an electric electrode boiler is an eternally functioning device.

The design of such a boiler is not complicated. This is a small-sized unit in the form of a pipe, constantly cutting into the pipe joint system by means of a threaded connection with the help of American women. In addition, the electrodes are attached at one end of the instrument. The start-up of the heat-transfer fluid is carried out through the side pipe, and the outlet through the unoccupied end.

How to make an electrode boiler with your own hands

The main skill you will need is the ability to operate the cooker. The main parts for the construction are a metal tube and an electrode.

Let's get started. To make an electrode boiler with your own hands, you will need the following elements:

1. Welding machine.
2. A pipe up to 10 cm in diameter and no more than 25 cm in length.
3. Electrode (you can take a small metal rod with a diameter of about 11 mm).
4. A suitably sized tee.
5. Coupling .
6. Insulator for electrode and terminals (grounding, zero).

We start the assembly process:

1. At the first stage, it is required to screw a coupling with a tee on both sides and tighten the products firmly so that leaks are excluded.
2. At the second stage, you need to immerse the electrode from the side of the tee into the pipe, firmly installing it inside with a dielectric insulator. You can use a stub with bimetallic radiator. The goal is to make the space between the pipe and the electrode. In the plug, you only need to make a hole of the required diameter, insert a rod there and firmly fasten it with a nut from the outside.
3. The next step is to weld a pair of bolts onto the pipe body (M8 or M10). They are required to connect the zero terminal and ground. Bare connection points must also be protected in order to limit themselves from electric shock.
4. The fourth stage will be the installation of the boiler, its piping. The dimensions of the structure are not large, so it can be hidden under the sink.
5. Everything. You can start the coolant for electrode heating boilers and test the heating system.

Review of ion boilers manufacturers

On the Russian market, several popular manufacturers of electrode energy-saving boilers are at once. Increasingly, those wishing to purchase warmth and comfort are buying electrode boilers Galan, EOU, Innovator, etc.

Let's take a closer look at some manufacturers.

Galan electrode boilers. User reviews testify to the demand for this brand in the market for ionic heating equipment. Galan is a Moscow-based company, but its products are delivered far beyond the borders of Russia. Its first patents date back to 1990.

The model range of Galan electrode boilers is represented by various names and three lines. Also, all differ in power characteristics.

The first series can be distinguished, Galan "Volcano" designed for heating large houses, apartment buildings and public buildings. The series operates only from a three-phase network and is represented by models with a capacity of 25, 36, 50 kW.

Electrode boiler Galan Volcano

Second episode Galan "Geyser" is a line of average power characteristics. There are only two items in it, which have powers of 9 and 15 kW. These electrode boilers are well suited for many medium-sized private houses.

The third series is represented by more compact models from 2 to 6 kW. The ruler titled "Hearth" has serious characteristics, despite its compact dimensions. Heats small houses with ease.

Galan electrode boilers have practically not undergone changes in their entire existence, they have a reliable and proven design. While the automation for the units is constantly changing and supplemented in accordance with the wishes of the users.

Electrode boiler EOU. The abbreviation stands for Energy Saving Heating System. This is a Russian company that has long established itself in other countries of the near and far abroad. Its products have international quality certificates.

Electrode boiler EOU

V lineup EOU two rulers. The first of them is designed for a single-phase 220 V network and is represented by capacities from 2 to 12 kW, the second functions in the presence of a three-phase 380 V network, and different brand names have individual capacities up to 120 kW. You may notice the same solution in the external representation of the aggregates.

The EOU company is responsible for the uninterrupted operation of products for 30 years and even gives a guarantee for the first ten years.

Electrode toroidal boiler Innovator. When referring to this company, they speak of a toroidal electrode boiler. Reviews on the network indicate a high efficiency(reaches 99.9%), as well as product quality.

The Innovator electrode boiler is a simple design, small size, stability and reliability, which are accompanied by broad requirements for the quality of the liquid and the need for a constant supply of electricity. But the disadvantages against the background of the advantages of the models are quite few.

Electric toroidal boiler Innovator

The advantages of such a boiler are the ability to adjust the power of each model from 1 to 20 kW, easy installation in any heating system. The toroidal electrode boiler can operate with a single-phase, two-phase and three-phase network.

Measures 30 * 10 * 10 centimeters.

No steel pipe required for installation. The Innovator toroidal electrode boiler operates silently and has a service life of 30 years.

The warranty is given by the manufacturer for 60 months.

The cost is 8,200 rubles.

Electrode boilers Ion are a direct-acting apparatus (without the use of intermediate components). Water heating occurs due to the flow of electric current through the coolant. The heating operation begins due to the disordered movement of the coolant water ions from the cathode to the anode with a frequency of 50 oscillations per second (hence the second name of electric boilers - ion boilers). The chaotic movement of ions leads to a very rapid increase in the coolant temperature. 7 circumstances of choosing the Ion heating boiler. Efficiency - efficiency of boilers ION = 98%, this is achieved thanks to the ION system and a new method of transformation electrical energy heat, because one kilowatt of power ION heats 20 square meters (60 cubic meters) of the heated building. The average duration of operation of ION boilers per day is 8 hours, therefore, heating the premises will cost you 2 times cheaper than when using boilers using liquid and solid fuels (fuel oil, coal, firewood), 1.5 times cheaper than with the use of electric boilers (ten), oil radiators and other heating systems for heating the air.

ION boilers operate in automatic mode due to a temperature meter-relay (thermostat), as if it allows, without the help of others, to help the set temperature in a heated room throughout the day, night, week and month. ION boilers are installed in all kinds of closed water heating systems of open or closed type, both main and as an emergency heating discharge. Together they are installed in heating systems with other types of boilers. During operation in a water heating system, ION soon heats up the coolant and due to the large the difference in temperatures at the inlet and outlet (95 ° C each) in the heating system, pressure is formed, as if the heated coolant is being raised to a height of 3 to 40 meters (depending on the transformation of the ION boiler) and allows you to heat buildings without using a circulation pump. Small size.

For the ION boiler, there is no need for a separate room (boiler room): Single-phase transformation (~ 220 V): length 300 mm, diameter 42 mm, authority 2 kg Three-phase transformation (~ 380 V): length 400 mm, caliber 108 mm, authority 7 kg. Environmentally friendly and quiet - Environmentally friendly materials are used in the production of ION boilers. During operation, there are no harmful emissions, no third-party aromas and no noise. The body of the ION boilers is made of durable materials, and the heating agent is made of special alloy, therefore: the guaranteed service life of the boiler is 3 years. The service life of ION boilers is 30 years. Electrical - and fire safety ION are certified for electrical safety. ION boilers are even more compact than heating elements.

It is very easy to buy Ion boilers in Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar at a good price: make an order by phone or e-mail.

Hello again! Many of you have heard about wonderful electrode boilers that save electricity a lot. A legitimate question arises: "How and by what means is this happening?" Let's try to figure out where is the truth, and where is fiction. Let's start by explaining the physical principles of the electrode boiler.

The principle of operation of the electrode boiler.

The physical principle here is simple - the coolant in the heating system is heated by directly passing an electric current through it. The phases of the electrical network are connected to the electrode group, and the zero is connected to the boiler body. And in a normal network it is connected to the heating element. To make it clearer, look at the following picture:

The release of heat occurs due to the fact that the coolant has some resistance. In general, the selection of a coolant for such boilers is a difficult task:

• Distilled water is not suitable because it does not conduct electricity.
• Water with the addition of table salt can cause accelerated corrosion of the metal parts of the system and the formation of scale on the electrodes.

In the passports for such heating devices, manufacturers usually write that the boiler will be guaranteed to work only with their coolant, which includes "special" corrosion inhibitors or something else. I am tormented by suspicions that this is being done in order to refuse warranty service on occasion if the consumer has used some other liquid. Manufacturers recommend using propylene glycol or ethylene glycol for electrode boilers. If interested, you can read my article about. Now let's touch on one more issue.

Comparison of the efficiency of an electrode and a conventional electric boiler.

Manufacturers praise electrode boilers for their high efficiency. They explain the absence of losses by the fact that the electric current heats the coolant directly. But at the same time, for some reason, nothing is said about losses during use. Here's a picture to remind you of their structure:

Inside the heating element, the nichrome spiral is sequentially heated, then the periclase filler, and then the metal tube. This whole structure is tightly rolled and there are no air pockets inside that could trap heat. Therefore, almost all the energy released on the nichrome spiral is spent on heating the water. Just like in an electrode boiler.

There is one more statement from manufacturers: “An electrode boiler heats water faster than a heating element. Because the water is heated throughout the entire volume of the boiler. " This is also a controversial argument. There is little water inside the boiler, and a lot of power is applied to heat it. Of course, there will be some advantage in time, but most likely it will not play a role for you. And it will not bring any promised 30% savings.

The temperature of the coolant in the system is also very important. This is due to the fact that when its temperature rises, its resistance falls. And this causes an increase in power consumption:

For this reason, the temperature of the coolant should not exceed 50 °. What will this mean for you? This is another ambush! For example, the heat transfer of aluminum radiators is measured based on the condition that the temperature of the coolant is 90 °, and the air temperature in the room is 20 °. At a lower coolant temperature, you will need to increase the number of radiator sections. This, for example, is done in a heating system called "Leningradka", where the radiators farthest from the riser or boiler must have a large number of sections. The more sections, the more expensive the heating system will cost. The only option with such a coolant temperature is. But we must remember that for our cold climate, they are not suitable as the main heating system.

The moral of everything that is said above is that there is no particular advantage in efficiency of an electrode boiler compared to a conventional electric boiler, but difficulties with operation are added. We'll talk about other difficulties below.

Difficulties in the operation of electrode boilers.

In addition to what was listed earlier, there are also "features" in the operation of such heating devices:

• The need to monitor the state of the coolant. The properties of the coolant change over time under the influence of an electric current, and the power consumption depends on these very properties.
• The need to ground all metal parts everywhere - radiator pipes, etc. Grounding systems are expensive and difficult.
• Faster corrosion of metals by electricity. The phenomena of electrocorrosion destroy not only black, but stainless steel grades.
• High probability of denial of warranty service for equipment. In order not to be unfounded, I will cite excerpts from the passport for the electrode boiler:

In general, a lot of problems for one device.

Brief results of the article.

The electrode boiler is, of course, an interesting technical solution. But there are many problems with its operation and they are serious. At the same time, there is no evidence of its economy, except for the promises of manufacturers and sellers. I will also say that for some reason unknown to me, not a single well-known manufacturer of heating equipment produces electrode boilers. It is possible that this is due to precisely these problems. On this optimistic note, I conclude this article. I am waiting for your questions in the comments.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ENERGY SAVING ELECTRODE HEATING BOILER "ION"

Electrode boilers "ION" are the best solution for autonomous heating Houses. "ION" has a number of significant advantages:
equipping with a sensor for automatic control of the heating temperature;
The efficiency is close to 100 (98-99%);
low inertness makes it possible to quickly start the heating system to the desired temperature, as well as effectively use automatic system management;
low sensitivity to voltage drops - when the voltage changes, only the power of the heating installation changes, but its operation continues;
the electrode boiler has a relatively small size;
low energy consumption - the coolant heats up in a matter of minutes in full volume;
does not require additional approval for installation and operation with the boiler supervision authorities.

The "ION" electrode boiler is a direct-acting installation (without the use of intermediate accessories). Heating of the liquid is obtained due to the flow of electric current through the coolant. The heating effect occurs due to the disordered movement of the ions of the heat-transfer fluid from the cathode to the anode with a frequency of 50 oscillations per second (hence the second name of electric boilers - ion boilers). The chaotic movement of ions leads to a maximum rapid increase coolant temperature.

Electric boilers "ION" have the following advantages:
the layering of solid deposits (scale) on the electrodes and the walls of the boiler does not lead to the destruction of the electrodes themselves or the unit as a whole, but only weakens its power.
The switched on ion boiler in the "dry running" mode (no coolant in the boiler, due to leakage) is absolutely safe, there is no conductor between the cathode and the anode - there is no heating, and the boiler will not fail.
oxidation processes are not observed due to the frequent change in the polarity of the electrodes (anode with cathode).

Electric boilers "ION" are much more compact than, for example, heating elements. Electrode boilers "ION" are leaders in the field of energy-saving technologies, Energy class - A. Warranty period of 3 years, but in fact, "ION" can be used for at least 10 years, thanks to a very reliable design. A new electrode alloy that is produced thanks to the latest technology allows it to operate up to 30 years. The popularity of the electrode autonomous heating system for residential buildings has tripled in the past five years due to its efficiency and price-quality ratio.

Ionic boilers have another indisputable advantage over their "competitors" - they do not require re-equipment of the existing heating system, and are easily mounted into a ready-made heating system.

Characteristics of electrode boilers "ION":

1. One kilowatt of power "ION" heats 60 cu. m. or (20 sq. m. with a ceiling height of up to 3 m.)

2. The duration of "ION" operation in the water heating system is from 1 to 8 hours a day, depending on the ambient temperature (automatic operation with a temperature sensor-relay), therefore, when heating an area from 40 to 750 sq. m. electricity consumption per day ranges from 2 to 288 kW / h
(depending on modification, see the table of characteristics).

4. "ION", during operation in the water heating system, lifts the heated coolant to a height of 3 to 24 meters (depending on the modification), due to the large temperature difference at the inlet and outlet of the electrical installation, it allows one-story and multi-story premises to be heated without using circulating pumps.

5. "ION" is suitable for different types of hot water heating systems.

6. The input and output "ION" is mounted in the hot water heating system through plumbing couplings, plumbing adapters or plumbing hoses.

7. In a hot water heating system, in which the boiler (s) is already installed, "ION" is installed parallel to this boiler (s).

8. In a hot water heating system with forced circulation circulation pump mounted in the return line of the hot water heating system in front of the electrical installation.

9. All work on the installation of an electrical installation in a water heating system is carried out in the same way as with conventional electric boilers, gas boilers, ovens, etc.

10. Temperature at the outlet of the electrical installation: up to 95 ° C.

11. Working medium (heat carrier): water and non-freezing liquids for hot water heating systems.

12. Working voltage: 220/380 V ± 10%.

13. Length (single-phase modification): 300 mm.

14. Connecting dimensions: inlet G1 ", outlet G1,1 / 4".

15. Length (three-phase modification): 400 mm.

16. Connecting dimensions: inlet G1,1 / 4 ", outlet G1,1 / 4".

The "ION" delivery set includes:

1. Electrical device ("ION") - 1 pc.
2. Temperature sensor-relay (thermostat) - 1 pc.
3. Passport (operation manual) - 1 copy.
4. Individual box - 1 pc.

How to choose the right boiler?

Electrode boiler "ION" is selected according to the following parameters:
- 1 kW of power of an electrode boiler can heat a room with an area of ​​up to 20 sq / m, a volume of up to 60 cubic meters / m and 40 liters of water in the heating system.
For example, - a 5 kW boiler can heat a room with an area of ​​100 sq / m, a volume of 300 cubic meters and with an amount of water in the heating system up to 240 liters.

It is necessary to collect the following information:
1. Calculate the total area of ​​the room in sq. M.
2. If the ceiling height is higher than 3 meters, you need to multiply the area of ​​your room by the height of the ceiling and calculate the volume of your room in cubic meters.
3. Calculate the amount of water in the heating system in liters, and determine what metal the heating radiators are made of.
4. Determine the power of your electric meter, disconnecting machine and the cross-section of the electrical wire to your room.
5. Determine the number of phases (1-220V / 3-380V) that are brought into your room.
6. Determine the presence of grounding in your room.
(Without ground electric boilers it is forbidden to include)
7. Determine the residual current device (RCD) installed in your panel ( electrode boilers do not work in an electrical network with an RCD )
Next, you need to compare your data with tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and determine the power of the boiler. It should be noted that all the characteristics are given in the tables only for the premises built and insulated according to the DBN (state building codes) of Ukraine.
In order not to be mistaken when choosing a boiler, it is better to add up to 20% of the reserve to the calculated power.
For example, a 1-phase 5 kW boiler is suitable for you - you order for 6 kW.

IMPORTANT! It is also necessary to take into account the material from which your radiators are made, if the heating radiators are made of aluminum, you must additionally purchase a preparation to increase the electrical conductivity of the coolant ASO-1
