Varieties of Zota boilers
The range of Zota boilers can be divided into several types. Each of them has its own characteristics and characteristics.
Electrical
The Zota electric boiler is used for industrial and domestic purposes. At the moment, the company produces 5 models, the power of which ranges from 3 to 400 kW.
- Zota Econom is an economical model, it can be used for heating a house or a cottage, power - from 3 to 48 kW.
- Zota Lux - are connected to an autonomous heating system and can supply heat to a house or industrial premises, and is capable of heating water. Power - from 3 to 100 kW.
- Zota Zoom - organizes the heating system, automatically selects the power to maintain a certain mode, power - from 6 to 48 kW.
- Zota MK - are mini boiler rooms for heating and water supply systems of any room, power - from 3 to 36 kW.
- Zota Prom - models are capable of heating a room with an area of up to 4000 square meters, power - from 60 to 400 kW.
The boilers run on electricity and are wall-mounted. Zota electric boilers from 9 kW are used more often.
Solid fuel
The company has established the production of all types of solid fuel boilers, ranging from low-power models for heating country houses, ending with automated boilers for providing heat and hot water to large country houses.
Model ranges:
- Zota Carbon - made of high quality steel, capable of heating a small room.
- Zota Master - the body of these models is sheathed with basalt wool.
- Zota Topol-M - boilers with a gas-tight insulated casing, works both on coal and wood, in the upper part there is a thermometer that measures the temperature of the liquid.
- Zota Mix - is able to provide an optimal working area for the heat exchange process, the efficiency is increased.
- Zota Dymok-M - models have the same characteristics as the previous one.
Solid fuel boilers can be used anywhere, a large amount of fuel is needed.
Automatic coal
Models of this type of boilers have one line of Stakhanov. The power of these devices ranges from 15 to 100 kW. All models are equipped with large water chambers and are controlled by the Windows system. Designed for heating purposes.
Each of the models can run on reserve fuel, wood. However, the main fuel for the boilers is fractional coal.
Semi-automatic
This group is also represented by only one series - Magna. They are distinguished by a built-in long-burning combustion chamber. It is made of flame retardant material and high quality steel. The body is sealed and has increased strength.
These models work on coal and wood. The control system and control of the heating process are fully automated. Power - from 15 to 100 kW.
Pellet
This group is represented by a lineup called Pellet. The devices operate on granules made from peat, wood, agricultural waste. The advantage of these boilers is that they function without human intervention. This electric boiler is usually used for home heating.
Pellet models are equipped with an automatic ignition mechanism, a system for maintaining a certain temperature, overheating protection and functions that make work safe. The power ranges from 15 to 100 kW.
Principle of operation
Fuel in the Zota furnace is supplied in small portions if it is small in size.
The amount of fuel required is determined by the boiler automatically, taking into account the required amount of fuel to heat the house. The principle of operation is that fuel from the bunker is directed to the burner in such a volume that is needed to create a particular temperature in the room. The exact temperature is calculated by the built-in controller.
Another option is gravitational feeding of raw materials. The weight of the fuel spills onto the burner. This happens after the previous portion burns out and makes room for a new one.
With the help of a fan, air is supplied to the burner, the controller also calculates the required amount and adjusts the rotation speed independently.
The heat generated as a result of combustion is transferred to the heat exchanger, then to the water and distributed through the pipes of the house, warming it. Further, heat is removed in the form of gases through the chimney.
What to look for when choosing
Heating devices must be selected taking into account the following characteristics:
- Type of fuel;
- maximum power;
- Efficiency;
- area of the heated room;
- the presence of automation mechanisms;
- weight;
- combustion chamber depth.
The main characteristic of any Zota boiler is power. The area of the room that he can heat depends on it. The manufacturer produces equipment from 3 to 400 kW.
Application of Zota boilers
Heating boilers can be used in the following areas:
- in steam engine engines;
- in the factory for heating;
- in agriculture for heating and receiving hot water;
- for heating residential buildings;
- for water supply of premises;
- in food and industrial production;
- at poultry and livestock farms;
- in public places.
Fuel boilers can be used in any place where water supply and room heating are required.
Popular models
The following models are most common. They have gained popularity due to their technical characteristics and properties.
Zota Smoky
Zota electric boilers of the Dymok series are solid-fuel devices for direct combustion.The air supply can be adjusted manually using a damper. The boilers are non-volatile.
The combustion chamber is made of steel, and it is also equipped with a cast iron hob.
The company offers two modifications - KOTV and AOTV. The difference is that the AOTB series has a hob. The power of the KOTV boilers is offered in two versions - 14 and 20 kW. The power of the AOTV series is divided into 3 levels - 12, 18, 25 kW.
The boiler system makes it possible to adjust many parameters, which will ensure autonomous and safe heating operation.
Zota Lux
Electric boilers Zota of the Lux series are intended for autonomous heating of industrial premises and residential buildings. The area of the heated building is from 30 to 1000 m2.
The user can adjust the temperature from +30 to +90 degrees, which allows the use of devices in the "warm floor" system without auxiliary control equipment. The boiler will automatically maintain the set temperature.
The tunic has small dimensions and weight. The manufacturer has made it possible to easily connect to external circuits such as sensors or pumps.
Thanks to the modular design, the maintainability of Zota Lux heating devices has been increased. The device can independently diagnose malfunctions and display information on a digital indicator. In case of an emergency, the boiler will beep.
Others
List of other popular models:
- Zota MK - devices of medium power;
- Zota Smart - high-tech models with a wide range of functions;
- Zota Topol-M - products with a gas-tight insulated casing;
- Zota Master - models, the body of which is sheathed with basalt wool;
- Zota Econom are economical devices that are distinguished by optimal performance.
Zota equipment is in demand in many countries. The boilers are equipped with many functions and are capable of autonomous operation for a long time.
I bought Zota Stakhanov-25, the price of 218,000 is low, I just can't dare call it low! The boiler has not really been described yet, but we ran into factory "jambs"! All outgoing and incoming bends are welded with different geometries, there is no clear vertical and horizontal lines! Also on the feed there is a sleeve of a submersible water temperature sensor, but for some reason they forgot it on the return line, although this function is in the menu settings! Well, after drawing and starting the boiler, it will be visible, maybe there will still be "jambs".
