High-quality gas burner-type household equipment should be distinguished by safety, efficiency and ease of installation. Russian consumers can choose a Mimax boiler for wall or floor installation. The unit is suitable for rooms of any quadrature, it can be equipped with an auxiliary circuit for DHW.
Manufacturer information
The Mimax company is located in Taganrog and has been operating since 2002. Initially, the brand produced ASU gas burners with “Maxima” nozzles, then it started producing devices with SIT automatic safety systems. After the gas burners entered serial production, the brand moved on to the development of projects for gas boilers.
The final products are targeted at the Russian consumer. It did not take into account the possibilities of electronic filling or wireless control, but efficiency. The equipment had to work in conditions of severe frost and power outages. "Mimax" managed to achieve the goal, and today the line of heating equipment is represented by models with a capacity of 7 to 40 kW, which will effectively heat the room from 30 to 400 square meters.
LLC "Mimax" is a laureate of the EUROPEAN QUALITY AWARD (2012) for the compliance of products with EU quality standards.
Technical parameters of gas boilers
The technical parameters of the devices differ depending on the series. The manufacturer offers several varieties.
Vega
Models with one or two circuits, atmospheric burners, quality cold rolled steel heat exchangers and turbulators. With a heating capacity of 7-31 kW, the efficiency reaches 92%. The Italian SIT automatics are supplied complete with the gas boiler. Powder enamel is used for painting the body. You can consider the technical parameters of the series using the example of the KSGV-31 model:
- working pressure of the water circuit - 0.2 MPa;
- heated area - 300 m2;
- fuel costs - 3.45 cubic meters per hour;
- unit weight - 131 kg;
- the operational period is 15 years.
Features of the Vega series - built-in gearbox, piezo type ignition, traction sensors and overheating control.
Parapet devices
The floor-standing view of the devices is distinguished by a closed firebox, which allows it to be installed in a room without a chimney. Oxygen masses for combustion enter through a coaxial chimney at the intersection of the outer part. The boilers are equipped with non-volatile automation, sectional burners and a rectangular heat exchanger. The characteristic of the KSG (P) -16 model allows us to consider the specifics of the series:
- Efficiency - 92%;
- power indicator - 16 kW;
- installation in an apartment or house up to 160 squares;
- fuel costs - 1.7 cubic meters per hour;
- boiler weight - 64 kg;
- the operational period is 15 years.
Parapet equipment is characterized by increased heat transfer.
Titanium
The line is represented by high-power compact models in a 3 mm thick stainless steel case. The combustion chamber is enlarged, the heat exchanger is equipped with a heating element. Connection to the system is carried out in the left and right way. The series is characterized by the following specifications:
- efficiency rate up to 83%
- operational period - 15 years;
- power - from 12 to 16 kW;
- the presence of a draft regulator;
- heated area - from 120 to 200 squares.
The body of the Titanium units is insulated.
Heating systems with one and two circuits
Equipment with one circuit only works for heating. At the manufacturer Mimax, it is represented by the KSG (IR) and KSG (M) series. IR boilers are made of stainless steel, equipped with Italian automatics, Optima atmospheric burners. Models M are equipped with branded automatic equipment AGU-T-M. The technical passport of the KGS-16 modification allows us to consider the specifics of single-circuit devices:
- power - 16 kW;
- heating area - 160 squares;
- combustion chamber type - open;
- efficiency indicator - 87%.
Single-circuit equipment is non-volatile, but it is produced without auto-ignition.
Double-circuit units are connected to the heating system and hot water supply using the main heat exchanger. Water from one circuit does not enter the other. KGSV boilers in a steel casing with rear fittings are equipped with two circuits. The characteristics can be considered using the example of the KSGV (IR) -20 device:
- power indicator - 20 kW;
- heated area - 200 squares;
- efficiency indicator - 88%;
- fuel costs - 2.43 cubic meters per hour
- operational period - 15 years.
You can control the temperature of dual-circuit devices using a thermometer on the front.
Solid fuel apparatuses
The solid fuel boiler Mimax runs on wood, pellets, coal and is made in a steel body with a thickness of 3 mm. The entire line is equipped with AGU-T-M branded automatics, gas control option and thermometers. It includes models KST, KSTG, KSTV, KSTGV. The parameters of solid fuel units can be analyzed using the example of the KSTGV model range:
- heated area - 160 m2;
- power - up to 12.5 kW;
- productivity in the DHW circuit - 4.4 l / min;
- efficiency indicator - 87%;
- gas consumption - 1.59 cubic meters per hour.
The outdoor equipment is equipped with a mechanical control system.
Benefits and cons
A domestic manufacturer is engaged in the release of gas devices, so they have the following advantages:
- low cost in comparison with foreign units;
- reliability and high performance;
- adaptation to domestic gas supply conditions;
- the ability to choose a model for a summer residence, apartment, country house;
- availability of equipment with one or two circuits;
- non-volatility of solid fuel modifications;
- high-quality assembly and durability of parts
- laconic appearance.
The disadvantages of the devices include inconvenient ignition, low speed of movement of coolants and the need to calculate the slope of the pipes. If a low-quality gas is supplied, the nozzles may clog.
Mimax boilers design
The device of a gas boiler of the Mimax brand is represented by a burner and 1-2 heat exchangers. The primary element is required to heat the water when exposed to the flame of the burner. Secondary is needed for the coolant of the system.
The manufacturer's instructions note that special equipment is used to regulate the gas supply. The automatic block turns off the boiler in case of risks of emergency situations or critical changes in parameters.
Combustion products for models with a closed firebox are discharged through a coaxial chimney. For models with an open chamber, an oven draft is used. When connecting the DHW circuit, an additional circulation pump can be installed.
Nuances of choice
The selection of heating units is carried out in accordance with the square of the house and the heat output. When choosing, you should be guided by the rule - 1 kW of power is spent on 10 squares of the room. In a private house with a total area of 100 m2, it is advisable to operate the KSG-1.5 or KGS-16 models.
When buying a double-circuit boiler, you need to know that a modification with a power indicator of 20 kW will provide a normal amount of water. The KSG-7 device is suitable for a house of 50 squares and will produce 7 liters of water per minute.
Major problems
The malfunction of the gas unit and how to eliminate it are shown in the table.
| Breaking | Cause | How to fix |
| Disconnected spontaneously | Poor cravings | Chimney cleaning |
| Weak water heating | Lost settings | Adjustment of automatic parameters |
| The heating medium heats up less than the water in the DHW | Little water for heating | Checking the correct installation of the system |
| Problems with the circulation of water in the heating circuit | Little water | System filling |
| Airlock | Bleeding air | |
| Leakage appearance | Search and elimination of a depressurized area | |
| Scale formation | Cleaning and flushing the system | |
| Increased gas consumption | Scale in the system | Cleaning and flushing pipes |
| Burner pops at the time of ignition | Pressure drop | Adjusting the pressure level |
The troubleshooting algorithm is specified in the instructions for the boiler.
The Mimax brand produces an extensive line of gas appliances. The equipment is notable for its affordable cost, suitable for an apartment and a private house. Before buying, you need to decide on the technical parameters, power and correlate them with the square of the room.
