General information
Ariston heaters are devices of stylish modern design, functional, safe, at the same time affordable. The company produces domestic water heaters for intermittent operation, when hot water is turned off in an apartment. Such boilers are quite compact, but they allow you to store enough hot water for daily needs: washing dishes, hygiene procedures, cleaning. Larger boilers of 100-150 liters or more are intended for servicing country houses and are operated year-round, used as the main source of hot water.
Varieties of boilers Ariston
Ariston manufactures several lines of gas and electric water heaters. The models are presented in the budget, medium and premium segments - the products are aimed at buyers with different incomes. Despite the significant difference in price, all boilers are made of high quality materials.
By the principle of action
According to the principle of operation, Ariston water heaters are divided into flow and storage. Accumulative ones are called boilers. They represent a metal tank of a certain volume with a heat-insulating layer so that the water does not cool down longer. Storage water heaters are classified into two more types: direct and indirect heating devices. Direct fired boilers contain a heating element that is powered by electricity or gas. In indirect boilers, the water is heated by the heat generated by the boiler.
The design of the instantaneous water heater does not provide for a reservoir for early heating of water and its supply. The water heats up directly when the tap is opened, when it passes through the water heater.
By the type of heating, water heaters are gas and electric. Gas ones are equipped with electronic, piezoelectric and hydroturbine ignition. In order to regulate the temperature of heated water in gas water heaters, gas supply adjustment is provided, and temperature sensors, a control panel or a mechanical knob are installed in electric ones.
By principle and place of work
Distinguish between open and closed water heaters. The first ones are made of plastic. With their help, water is heated for a certain point of draw-off. After heating the water in the tank, it is necessary to open the cold water supply - ensure the necessary pressure so that hot water begins to flow into the mixer. Due to the fact that cold water is supplied from below, mixing of hot and cold layers in the boiler does not occur.
Closed-type water heaters are used to provide hot water to several taps.The reservoir is made mainly of steel: stainless steel or with an enamel coating. There are models with a copper tank. To maintain the required pressure, the tank is equipped with a non-return valve. To prevent scale formation in the tank, an anode is installed inside - magnesium, titanium or zinc.
Instantaneous water heaters are also subdivided into direct and indirect heaters. A spiral, heating element or gas burner is installed inside the direct heating water heaters. Indirect heating devices use a coolant that heats a pipe with water. Like boilers, instantaneous water heaters can be closed and open.
Main technical characteristics
The time for heating the water is determined by the power of the device and its volume. These are the main technical characteristics of the boiler. The volume should be selected, focusing on the target direction of use:
- washing hands, dishes - 10-30 liters per person;
- taking a shower - 30-50 liters for 1-2 people;
- taking a shower one after another - 50-80 liters for 2 people;
- 3 persons (shower) - 80-100 l;
- 4 persons (any water procedures) - 100-120 liters.
If the volume is large, and the power of the heating element is small, the water will heat up for a very long time. A heating element with a capacity of 1.2 kW, installed in a 15 liter tank, will heat water to 60 ° C in 45 minutes. Heating to the same temperature, but 100 liters, when installing a heating element of 1.5 kW, will already take 3 hours and 50 minutes.
The optimal ratio of the power of the heating element and the volume of the tank:
- 1.2 kW - up to 50 liters;
- 1.5 kW - up to 80 liters;
- 2.0 kW - up to 100 liters;
- 2.5 kW - up to 120 hp
In some models, more than one heating element is installed. With the help of additional heating elements, a fast heating function is realized. When disabled, only one element works. This allows you to save money if you do not need to quickly heat the water.
Installing the boiler on the wall
Models with a volume of 10-30 liters are mounted on the wall using the supplied bracket. Some models come with fasteners, but it is recommended that you evaluate them critically. The fasteners must be able to support a weight of at least twice the weight of the water-filled water heater. If the volume of the boiler is larger and is 50-200 liters, the bracket and metal fasteners must withstand three times the weight of the heater together with water. The diameter of the hardware must be at least 10 mm.
Similar requirements apply to the wall on which the boiler will be installed. It must be able to withstand double / triple loads.
Horizontal
It is necessary to choose a place for installation in accordance with the requirements and carry out the marking. The distance between the brackets is determined by the volume of the water heater tank:
- 30 l - 270 mm;
- 50 l - 520 mm;
- 80 l - 560 mm;
- 100 l - 430 mm.
After drilling four holes with a diameter of 16 mm and a depth of 80 mm, insert plastic dowels into them, then fix the strips with screws. The boiler is gradually lowered until it locks onto the strike plates.
Vertical
Heaters with a vertical installation method are also fixed using strikers attached to the wall. Hole spacing for fasteners:
- 80 l - 562 mm;
- 100 l - 430 mm.
According to the installation instructions for the Ariston boiler, it is necessary to drill four holes with a diameter of 16 mm and a depth of 80 mm, and then fix the strikers with plastic dowels and screws. The installation of the water heater is carried out carefully. After final fixing on the wall, check the reliability of the fixing.
Water connection
If there is a collector in the system, a cold water pipe is supplied to the water heater. If there is no collector, a branch is made from the water pipe - the pipeline is cut and a tee is installed in this place. The tee is soldered into the plastic pipe using a special soldering iron, the branch is cut into the metal pipeline by means of a threaded connection.A ball valve is installed to cut off the water supply. In addition, a unidirectional safety valve is mounted on cold water. A T-piece with a tap to drain the liquid should be installed between the safety valve and the heater inlet pipe. After supplying cold water, a hot outlet is created. A ball valve is also installed on it.
If the heater is connected to an open water tank, the cold water outlet must be located above the highest point of the appliance.
Boiler operation
Boiler operation is not only about periodic heating of water. In order for the device to serve for a long time, it should be serviced, in particular, the anode should be changed. Some boiler elements use up their resource earlier than the entire structure. We are talking about the heating element, which sooner or later burns out, and it also has to be changed.
Methods for replacing the heating element
Before carrying out repairs, which consists in replacing the heating element, the water must be drained from the boiler, the cold water supply tap must be turned off, the check valve must be unscrewed to drain the water from the supply pipe.
The instructions for replacing the heating element in Ariston boilers with a capacity of 10 to 30 liters, as well as models SG 50, 80, 100, are as follows:
- The front cover is removed.
- The power and ground terminals are disconnected.
- The nut is unscrewed.
- The flange holder is removed, and then the flange itself by pressing it inward. In this case, the bolt should be fixed with pliers.
- The flange is moved 90 ° and pulled out.
- The heating element is being replaced.
- Assemble in reverse order.
Disassembly of models with tanks from 50 to 500 liters is carried out as follows:
- The plastic cover covering the fasteners is removed.
- Disconnect the power and ground terminals.
- The flange can be secured with five bolts. In this case, they are unscrewed and the part is taken out.
- In some models, it is fixed with a clamp and a bolt, then you need to unscrew the nut and press the flange.
- The element is removed by turning it 90 °.
- The heating element is replaced on the Ariston water heater and the boiler is assembled in the reverse order.
During the assembly process, it is necessary to ensure that all elements are installed correctly, without gaps and displacements. Instead of the old rubber gasket of the flange, when replacing the heating element, it is recommended to install a new one to avoid leaks. Simultaneously with the replacement of the heating element, you can descale the tank.
Instructions for use
The manufacturer recommends fixing the Ariston boiler close to the outlet point to avoid heat loss. In this case, the heater must not be installed:
- on the street, as well as in a room where the air temperature can be below zero;
- exposed to direct sunlight;
- where sudden voltage drops are possible;
- in places with high levels of humidity or high concentrations of toxic, toxic, acidic, pollutants.
Without fail, for the device of the electric line from which the boiler is powered, a three-core cable is used and an RCD is installed. The socket to which the device is connected must be waterproof, or a 16 A fuse can be used as a switch.
Before using for the first time, you need to fill the tank with cold water, inspect the tank, making sure there are no leaks. The heater flange must be centered, otherwise its position must be corrected by loosening and then retightening the nuts. Then they open a hot water tap to dump excess air, close it and turn on the appliance. The temperature in models with mechanical control is regulated by turning the knob, devices with electronic control have an electronic display and a special panel.
Disassembly methods
Disassembly methods may differ depending on the model. It is necessary to study the structure before starting the repair, be sure to disconnect the boiler from the power supply and drain the water from the tank.If you need to disassemble the tank, you will need a set of keys, and if you need to touch the electrical part, you will need a multimeter.
