If you decide to install a boiler, you will first of all need to choose the right place to install this device. As a rule, boiler they are installed in the bathroom, but in some cases it can be located in the kitchen or in a utility room.
In order to correctly calculate the required amount of water for the operation of the boiler, it is necessary to know its capacity, volume and water temperature. When calculating the capacity of boilers, the following is taken into account: water is heated in 1 hour, while the higher the temperature of hot water, the less electricity is consumed.
Criteria for choosing a boiler for the home
When choosing a boiler, consider the following criteria: — size and design; — installation type; — presence and quantity of internal tanks; — material of the internal tank; — technical characteristics. Boilers are divided into two types:
- flowing;
- capacitive (boilers of indirect heating).
Instantaneous boilers have two or three lines. Only one line heats the water, so it heats up very quickly, and the water heats up to the required temperature. Boilers of this type have small sizes and are usually installed in bathrooms. The disadvantage of this type of boilers is that if you decide to leave the bathroom, the water in the boiler will already be cold. The advantage of the boiler is that you can use hot water at any time, even after you have left the bathroom.
Features of capacity boilers
Capacity boiler depends on the number of members of your family and can reach 100-150 liters, as the water is heated gradually. Such boilers are installed in kitchens or bathrooms, as they provide a water temperature of up to 75 degrees.
These boilers require an additional heating element in the form of a heat exchanger, which heats the incoming flow of water into the boiler and supplies it to the water heater. Wall-mounted water heater with thermal insulation - boilers come in different price categories, but they have one thing in common - the ability to obtain hot water at low temperatures.
So, for example, a 3-liter boiler will be enough for a private house where 50 people live permanently. Such a boiler can be installed next to a sink or a toilet. For a family of 4 people who often take a shower, it is necessary to install a boiler of 80 liters.
When choosing a water heater, you should pay attention to several factors. With the help of a thermostat, you can get water at the right temperature. Thanks to this, you can independently adjust the water temperature in the range from 30 to 80 degrees. Such boilers can be used only if the house has a heating system.
