The Electrolux company is one of the most famous brands producing household, climatic and heating equipment. For the device of individual heating, the Swedish brand offers wall-mounted and floor-mounted gas boilers. The equipment, equipped with electronic control, maintains a comfortable temperature in the house in all climatic conditions.
Pros and cons of boilers
The Electrolux boiler runs on main gas. Optionally, you can connect liquefied methane. The equipment is economical and reliable, rarely breaks down. Among the main advantages of the technique, the owners note:
- Simple installation and operation of the units.
- Compact body with a convenient rectangular shape.
- The functional display shows all the necessary information about the operation of the equipment, gives error codes.
- Automation allows you to set the temperature with an accuracy of 1 ° C.
- Attractive design of models.
- A wide range of products in terms of power, design and dimensions.
- Possibility of programming and remote control.
The boilers have a built-in system of protection against scale and various emergency situations:
- high and low pressure of the coolant;
- freezing;
- gas contamination when extinguishing the flame.
The high demand for Electrolux models is facilitated by the affordable cost of equipment. Prices depend on the capacity of the units.
Minuses:
- dependence on electricity;
- sensitivity of automation.
The boiler control system is set to shutdown in case of problems. A positive feature of the technology is the automatic connection after troubleshooting.
Specifications
Gas boilers of low and medium power are used for heating cottages, apartments, small hotels. The popularity of Electrolux models is due to their functional features:
- Two types of combustion chambers: open - natural draft through the chimney, closed - using a fan.
- By the type of ignition, the units are: with electronic ignition - an economical option with a constantly burning igniter; piezoelectric element - a non-volatile design runs on a battery.
- Built-in water temperature control system in the heating system and hot water supply.
- The anti-freeze function shuts down the equipment at temperatures below + 5 ° C.
- The power of models is presented in a wide range of 11-60 kW.
To ensure a comfortable temperature in the house, all boiler models are equipped with a weather-dependent control.
Varieties of gas boilers Electrolux
Heating equipment is produced with one or two circuits. In the first case, it performs one function of heating the room. The device of the second circuit allows you to simultaneously heat water for domestic needs. The main division of models is according to the type of installation.
Wall mounted
Compact size and light weight allow boilers to be placed in any room. Most of the series are represented by two-circuit models. The use of bithermic heat exchangers simplifies the design of the units, makes them more reliable and compact. The gas double-circuit wall-mounted boiler Electrolux has two operating modes: "winter" and "summer". It heats the heating medium up to 85-90 °, hot water up to 42 ° C.
Floor standing
Floor-standing units are distinguished by their large dimensions and high power. They are intended for heating systems in large buildings. The design is equipped with a sectional cast-iron heat exchanger, which increases the weight of the boiler and the durability of its operation.
User's manual
The boilers at the factory are equipped with three-speed circulation pumps. The units are set to maximum speed. The owner will be able to independently change the parameter and adapt the pump to the needs of the heating system. The device is connected to gas using a paronite gasket and a union nut. The filling of the system with water begins with the air outlet valves open. After the emergence of liquid from the holes, the valves are closed.
Before starting work, the boiler is set to the selected mode according to the manufacturer's instructions. The user can program the control of the equipment. When an outdoor sensor is connected, the weather-compensated boiler control is activated. Switching off the unit for a short period does not require additional action. If it turns off for a long time, you must turn off the gas and turn off the power supply.
Once a year, at the end of the heating season, the appliance is inspected and maintained. The burner and heat exchanger are being cleaned. The reliability of the chimney is checked. In the event of a breakdown, the manufacturer advises to turn off the boiler and call specialists from the service center for repair. Among the common errors issued by the control system:
- E 1 - there is no flame. A gas check is required.
- E 2 - overheating of the coolant. Shutdown required to cool down to 70 ° C and restart.
- E 3 - a problem with the removal of smoke. Chimney check.
- E 4 - low pressure. The pump restarts.
- E 6 - malfunction of the hot water sensor.
In some cases, the malfunction can be eliminated by bleeding air from the system, opening taps or cleaning into the filter. In most situations, specialist intervention is required.
