Analysis of boilers for heating a private house Galan: electronic, electrode, reviews about them

Along with traditional boilers using solid fuel, gas or diesel, electric models are no less popular. In most cases, they are equipped with a heating element - a special heating element. To reduce costs, an alternative to such equipment can be boilers for heating a private house Galan: electronic, electrode, reviews about them will allow you to form an objective idea of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe effectiveness.

About Galan

The organization began its activity at the beginning of 1994. On the basis of a defense enterprise, the first Galan heating boilers of the electrode type were developed. Compared to standard electrical models, the company has achieved significant energy savings with consistent heat output.

Having developed a competent marketing policy, we managed to establish a stable sales of products, which made it possible to work on expanding the range. Since the second half of the 90s, a heating system with a Galan boiler is found not only in private houses, but also in industrial and commercial premises.

Currently, there are several areas of the company's activities:

• Electric boilers for heating the Galan house with an electrode block for heating water. The consumer can choose the best option from three series - Ochag, Geyser or Volcano;
• Galan special liquid for heating, intended for electrode models;
• Heating equipment with heating elements. Their advantages are that they can be installed for open systems;
• Heating automation.

With the development of each of the above areas, it was possible to achieve high quality products and adapt them to the Russian specifics of operation.

In connection with the increasing incidence of fakes, the manufacturer recommends purchasing boilers only from official representatives.

Galan electrode boilers: principle of operation

The greatest interest among the consumer is caused by Galan electronic heating boilers. Despite their small size, they generate a sufficient amount of thermal energy to heat the coolant.

The main design feature is the principle of its operation. No heating elements are used to raise the temperature - Galan electrode boilers operate on the principle of water ionization. Electrodes break down molecules into positive and negative ones. Each species moves towards an electrode with a reverse charge. The electronic unit changes poles at a frequency of 50 times / sec, resulting in ion oscillations. This causes the temperature to rise.

This principle of operation allowed us to minimize the size of the equipment. Positive reviews about Galan heating systems are associated with this factor. So, the lowest-power model Center 2 with a nominal power of 2 kW has dimensions of only 35 mm in diameter and a length of 275 mm. And this with a weight of 0.9 kg.

But do not immediately plan the electric heating of the Galan private house. This system is characterized by a number of operational features that must be taken into account:

• Do not use distilled water... For the ionization process, the content of salts in the coolant is required.Therefore, the manufacturer recommends pouring in ordinary drinking water (pre-salting, in a proportion of 1 tablespoon per 100 liters), or branded heating fluid;
• Galan heating boilers do not include a pump and an expansion tank... For small highways up to 20 lm. this is compensated by the pressure generated in the ionization chamber. In the process of warming up, this figure rises to 2 atm;
• The control unit for Galan heating boilers must be installed... It adjusts the power of the device depending on the installed power. It provides the ability to connect to external temperature sensors, as well as a remote control system (SMS).

The main advantage is the choice of the installation scheme. In heating systems with a Galan boiler, other heating devices may be present - solid fuel or gas-fired. If in the future it is planned to expand the living space, it is possible to install additional boilers in parallel to increase the total heating power.

The cross-section of the wiring must correspond to the rated output of the boiler It is best to connect it on a separate line with the installation of an RCD.

Boiler series Hearth

The models of this series are the smallest and can be used to organize electric heating of a small Galan private house or apartment. Often they are installed without circulation pumps - the pressure created in the ionization chamber is sufficient.

The rated power of the models of the Hearth series varies from 2 to 6 kW. It should be remembered that only the heating block is included in the package. Additional equipment (RCD, programmer) must be purchased.

For the correct operation of Galan electric boilers in heating a house, you need to familiarize yourself with their characteristics:

• The volume of the heated house is from 80 to 200 m³;
• Power supply - 220 V network;
• The cross-section of the copper conductor of the current-carrying line is 4 mm², with the exception of the Ochag-6 model. For it, an electrical wiring with a cross section of 6 mm² should be provided;
• The volume of the coolant directly depends on the power of Galan electronic heating boilers.

Before installation, it is imperative to make a ground loop. The absence of water in the area of ​​the electrodes is not allowed. Therefore, a system of automatic filling of the system should be provided. You can do the installation of the electrode boiler yourself. It is enough to study the instructions from the manufacturer.

Series of boilers Geyser and Volcano

For more powerful systems, it is recommended to purchase boilers of the Geyser and Vulcan series. Structurally, they are no different from the Hearth, but they are designed to heat a larger volume of the coolant. Galan electric heating organized with their help can provide a constant power from 9 to 50 kW. Since a standard power line cannot cope with such a volume, a 3-phase 380 V connection will be required. For this, a separate permit must be issued. This fact must be taken into account when choosing a heating scheme.

Technical characteristics of boilers for heating systems Galan of the Geyser and Vulkan series:

• Residential volume of the building - from 340 to 1650 m³;
• Power supply - 380 V network;
• The cross-section of the copper core of the current-carrying line is from 4 to 6 mm²;
• The recommended volume of heating medium is indicated in the table.

Boilers of this series are used not only for autonomous heating of private houses, but also for industrial and commercial premises.

For the Geyser and Volcano models, circulation pumps are necessarily installed, since the heating chamber cannot provide the proper pressure indicator for the movement of liquid in the system.

Models of boilers Galan with heating elements

Along with the electrode models, the Galan company has launched the production of boilers for heating with installed heating elements. They are intended for rapid heating of the coolant, therefore the prefix "Turbo" was given to the standard name.

Unlike standard electrode boilers, Galan used AISI 316L stainless steel in these models. This made it possible to significantly increase the service life of the heating element and reduce the likelihood of scale formation. Tubular heaters are small, which affected the dimensions of the boilers. The models provide three-stage power control.

Unlike Galan electrode boilers, the heating elements of the Hearth can be connected to the 220 and 380 V lines. This is one of the factors for the unification of heating. An additional heat source can be installed at any time, regardless of the characteristics of the mains.

Features of a heating system with a Galan Turbo series boiler are as follows:

• Reducing electricity consumption by up to 20% compared to similar models;
• Easy installation. It is only required to connect the pipes in the heating system and provide power supply;
• Maintainability. Even if the heating element fails, you can replace it yourself. You just need to remove the top cover and disconnect the lead wires.

One of the disadvantages of such models is the lack of a circulation pump and a safety group in the configuration. That is why the company has developed a new series of Galan electric boilers for home heating with additional elements.

It is best to purchase a boiler with a higher power than the calculated one. So you can make a heating system with a margin and in advance prevent the occurrence of costs when installing additional elements.

Galaxy series models

Galax series boilers are designed to operate only from a 380 V network. They include sets of electromechanical and electronic automation. Their functions are to control the flow of the coolant, as well as to stabilize when the pressure in the pipes is exceeded.

These Galan electric boilers for heating a private house are designed to increase the comfort of use. Their features are as follows:

• High system efficiency - up to 98%. Achieved by installing economical heating elements;
• Built-in automatics - thermostat "Stopper-103" and 203;
• The possibility of voice control is realized after the installation of the Galan GSM unit;
• Additional thermal insulation of the body and the heating block.

Models of this series have a wide power range - from 9 to 27 kW. Electronic boilers Stealth Galan are installed only for closed systems with forced circulation.

When choosing a heating boiler, you need to carefully study the requirements for the organization of the boiler room. According to this parameter, Galan electrode installations will be optimal in the absence of a chimney or a separate room.

Prices and reviews for boilers of the Galan company

In addition to reviews about Galan heating systems, the prices for them are no less important to the consumer. Analyzing the cost of individual models, we can come to the conclusion that in some cases they will be the best option for organizing heating.

Reviews about Galan boiler equipment:

• After installing the Galan electrode boiler for 9 kW, they began to notice that the heating rate had significantly decreased. It turned out that we had filled in the wrong water. Couldn't be filled with distilled. Over time, its electrical conductive properties deteriorate. We bought a special liquid from the manufacturer - everything has been working normally for 3 years;
• We have been satisfied with the Geyser Turbo boiler for 4 years. Until the moment when my husband decided to connect him to a flow system for heating water. After 2 days of such experiments, the heating element broke down.I had to buy a new one and change it. Therefore, we decided to purchase a simple instantaneous water heater;
• We thought for a long time how to solve the problem of heating in the country. I didn’t want to make a chimney - the house is small, and I also didn’t want to spoil it with a pipe. The decision came unexpectedly - a Galan turbo electric boiler. We took a 4 kW model. In winter it heats up quickly, there is no need to wait 2-3 hours. We are happy with everything.
