Gas boilers Siberia for heating - single-circuit and double-circuit

Features of Siberia gas boilers: review of floor-standing units

Siberia floor-standing appeared on the market not so long ago, but have already earned good reviews from customers and specialists.
The Siberia boiler is a product of the famous Russian enterprise “Rostovgazoapparat” (Rostov-on-Don), whose history dates back to the end of the 19th Century. This Rostov company became known thanks to the legendary AOGV gas boilers, which heated the private homes of millions of residents of the former USSR. But time does not stand still; all competitors on the market are constantly improving their products. Rostovgazoapparat also did not stand aside, presenting to the consumer a modern gas heating unit - the Siberia gas boiler.

We will talk about this device today, having examined in detail the double-circuit and single-circuit models with an atmospheric burner presented in stores, their technical characteristics, features and internal structure according to its operating instructions (passport).

Having analyzed all the parameters of the Siberia gas boiler 11, 17, 23, 29 and 35, we will leave our review based on the advantages and disadvantages of this device for heating a private home, and also watch a video about possible malfunctions: why it does not light up and does not heat the water.

Model range of Siberia boilers

On the domestic market, the Rostov enterprise is represented by two types of floor-standing gas boilers of the Siberia series:

— with a steel heat exchanger; — with a cast iron heat exchanger.

Boiler Siberia 11 with SIT automation

All boilers have a modern appearance, in contrast to the models of the “Soviet” AOGV series, the necessary set of functions and a reliable security system. All devices are completely energy-independent and operate at low gas pressure, i.e. adapted for Russian operating conditions.

In addition, the Rostovgazoapparat enterprise offers customers different types of its devices:

— single-circuit gas boilers Siberia, intended only for heating; - double-circuit gas boilers that already perform two useful functions: heating and hot water supply.

The most popular, judging by consumer reviews, are single-circuit models of Siberia boilers. They are produced in different capacities: 11, 17, 23, 29 and 35 kW. Only boilers with a steel heat exchanger are produced as double-circuit ones, and with a cast iron one - only for heating.

Siberia gas boilers with a cast iron heat exchanger are characterized by high reliability and long service life of the device, thanks to the material of its manufacture. They are produced with a nominal power of 16 to 50 kW, are capable of heating a room up to 500 m2, and are marked as follows:

— Siberia Ch16 (KCHGO 16); — Siberia Ch25 (KCHGO 25); — Siberia Ch40 (KCHGO 40); — Siberia Ch50 (KCHGO 50).

“H” is a cast iron boiler, and the number indicates the power of this heating apparatus. “KCHGO” is a cast iron gas heating boiler.

Floor-standing gas boilers Siberia

— Siberia 16E; — Siberia 25E; — Siberia 40E; — Siberia 50E.

Gas boiler Siberia: design and automation

Like most floor-standing gas boilers, heating devices of the Siberia brand consist of a housing, a heat exchanger for heating the coolant (water jacket), a gas burner and automation.

The Siberia gas boiler is equipped with a steel or cast iron heat exchanger, Italian SIT automatic equipment (gas valve, thermostat, piezo ignition and boiler safety system), a Polidoro gas burner made of stainless steel, as well as a layer of foil thermal insulation with basalt fiber.

Let's take a closer look at the internal structure of the Siberia single-circuit gas boiler according to the instruction diagram.

Siberia boiler design

Gas boiler Siberia: technical characteristics, dimensions, connection

The Siberia boiler has compact dimensions, and depending on the model, its dimensions are only 850/280/560 or 850/380/560 mm. The fittings for connecting to the heating system have a diameter: for a device with a power of 11 kW - 1 1/2′, for others - 2′.

The gas connection to the boiler is made using a bellows hose with a diameter of 3/4′, for a device with a power of 11 kW - 1/2′. And for domestic water - also 1/2′ for all dual-circuit models. Boiler chimney diameter: on Siberia 11 and 17 units - 125 mm, on more powerful models - 140 mm. Other technical characteristics, gas consumption and productivity are described in the table.

Siberia boiler: technical characteristics

— time-tested manufacturer; — compact dimensions; — modern Italian automatic equipment is installed on all models; — quiet operation; — efficiency of at least 90%; — wide model range; — reasonable price for the boiler and spare parts.

Disadvantages of Siberia boilers:

- low hot water productivity for dual-circuit models; — Russian assembly; — the network of service centers throughout the country is poorly developed.

So, we have examined Siberia floor-standing gas boilers , customer reviews of which are increasingly found on the Internet: on forums and stores. We reviewed the technical characteristics according to the instructions, features and internal structure of heating devices produced by the Rostovgazoapparat enterprise. We identified the main advantages and pointed out some disadvantages of Siberia boilers. Let's watch a video review from the buyer about the experience of using the device.

Despite the enormous popularity of foreign household appliances, the domestic industry also produces high-quality equipment. For example, Siberia gas boilers have many advantages and high quality. This equipment can be used to heat not only residential but also industrial premises.

The lineup

The Siberia line of floor-standing boilers includes nine models, of which five are designed only for heating, and four are designed for heating and domestic hot water supply.

…

Attention! The letter “K” in the designation indicates that the boiler has the ability to extract water for household needs. In other words, it is intended for heating and hot water supply at home.

The power of the boilers varies from 11.6 kW to 35 kW, which is enough to heat rooms ranging from 100 to 350 m2. Below are the main technical characteristics of the lines of floor-standing gas boilers, AKGV and AOGV.

A feature of the boilers of this model range is the presence of a steel heat exchanger, which has high strength and reliability, and also ensures efficient heat transfer to the coolant.

Important! Steel is susceptible to corrosion. It is this fact that casts doubt on the long service life of a gas boiler with a steel heat exchanger.

For heating large rooms, the manufacturer has provided a line of boilers with a cast iron heat exchanger KCHGO. The model range includes floor-standing boilers with a power from 16 to 50 kW. For clarity, we present a list of technical characteristics of this line of Siberia gas boilers.

Cast iron heat exchangers are not subject to corrosion and practically do not react to low quality coolant. However, the “innate” fragility of this material requires careful operation from the owner, which is to prevent sudden changes in coolant temperatures.

…

Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the range of Siberia floor-standing gas boilers is indeed quite large and capable of satisfying the demand of domestic consumers.

Product advantages

Gas boilers "Siberia" have the following advantages:

• Almost complete independence of ignition from the electrical network, since it is carried out using piezoelectric elements.
• High quality equipment.
• Ease of use.
• Long service life.
• Great looks.
• Variety of models.
• The different power of boilers makes it possible to choose the appropriate option.
• Automatic control. Thanks to this, the operation of the product is completely safe.
• Low fuel consumption.
• It is possible to purchase models with which you can additionally heat water.
• Burner resistance to high temperatures. Thanks to the stainless material that has undergone special treatment, you don’t have to worry about premature burnout of the element.
• High structural strength.
• Some models provide hot water to several points of intake at once.
• Acceptable cost: from 15,600 to 24,000 rubles.

As you can see, Siberia gas boilers are practically in no way inferior to foreign competitors.

What to look for when choosing?

Before purchasing a dual-circuit model, you should pay attention to five important indicators:

Combustion chamber type

There are devices with an open and closed combustion chamber. Appliances with an open chamber take air from the room, and combustion products are discharged through the chimney. For safety reasons, such a chimney must be at least 4 m in height. Since this consumes oxygen from the room, ventilation in such a house must be well organized.

With closed combustion, air is taken from the street, and combustion products are discharged outside at this moment. Thus, the oxygen in the room does not burn and the overall atmosphere is much more favorable. Models with a closed chamber are suitable for those who have poor ventilation in their home. They can also be installed in the kitchen or bathroom. Devices with a closed combustion chamber are the only possible option for apartment buildings.

Boiler type

There are classic (convection) and condensation devices.

Classic wall-mounted gas boilers with two circuits, the 2020 rating of which will be given below, generate heat only by burning gas. On average, their efficiency ranges from 85 to 95%.

Condensing appliances generate additional heat by condensing water vapor that is produced naturally during the combustion process. Thanks to this, the boiler efficiency increases and can range from 100 to 110%. Taking this into account, the condensing model can reduce gas consumption by 10 - 15%. This savings will be especially noticeable when using heated floors. If you really want to save on heating and water heating, then take a condensing model. Such models will definitely be included in our rating of wall-mounted double-circuit gas boilers in terms of reliability.

Heat exchanger material

The heat exchanger of the device can be made of the following materials:

• Cast iron. Used in the cheapest models. It generates heat quite well, but the efficiency usually does not exceed 90%. Boilers with cast iron heat exchangers are heavier and bulkier, which complicates their installation.
• Stainless steel. Suitable for budget and middle class. Stainless steel is quite durable and can be easily repaired if necessary. However, heat transfer is less than that of copper.
• Copper. Copper heat exchangers are installed in mid- and expensive-class models. They are durable and dissipate heat well.

If you want to take a classic model and are going to install it yourself, take it with a stainless heat exchanger. For underfloor heating and hot water supply, we recommend choosing a condensing type device with a copper heat exchanger.

Boiler power

On average, 1 kW of device power can heat about 8 m2 of area. Divide the total area you need to heat by 8 and get the required power. Add 1 kW for water heating. If you want to more accurately calculate the power of the device, use the formula that we provided for single-circuit boilers.

Availability of built-in boiler

A separate type of double-circuit boilers can be additionally equipped with a boiler for heating and, most importantly, storing water. Sometimes it is very convenient to have such a boiler, since if there is a strong drop in pressure in the pipeline, the boiler may simply not heat the water, but the water in the boiler will always be hot. Purchasing a model with a built-in boiler makes sense only in cases where there is a frequent drop in pressure in the city water supply. Otherwise, it's a waste of money.

Device Features

So, Siberia gas boilers have the following operational features:

• The size of the flame is adjusted automatically, and this is done very smoothly.
• The device has a very high level of efficiency - up to 90%.
• The device is capable of heating rooms whose area ranges from 100 to 500 square meters. m.
• The heat exchanger can be open or closed, it all depends on the model of the device.
• The temperature of water and heating is regulated separately, which allows you to use the Siberia gas heating boiler as a boiler in the summer. The heating system remains switched off.
• Availability of additional functions: anti-blocking of the circulation pump, resistance to contamination and freezing.

Advantages and disadvantages

• Non-volatile
• Gas control
• Thermometer
• Liquefied gas

• Average efficiency
• Circulation pump
• Built-in expansion tank
• Frost protection
• overheat protection
• Pump blocking protection
• Auto diagnostics

Specifications

The Siberia gas boiler (reviews about it are mostly positive) has the following technical parameters:

1. Warranty duration: 25 years.
2. Power: 11-35 kW, although devices rated at 50 kW are used to heat industrial premises.
3. The total weight of the product is 52-90 kg.
4. Efficiency - no less than 90%.
5. Possibility of converting the device for liquefied gas.

If you want to buy a Siberia gas boiler, reviews will help you find out more about it than the manufacturer says. For example, buyers note the high efficiency of the equipment. The unit is able to quickly heat water, even if there are several points of intake in the house. The device copes well with the task, even if it is installed in a house with several floors. An undoubted advantage is piezo ignition, so you can start the boiler even in the absence of light.

Why does it go out?

The main reason should be considered a gas supply interruption.
If the valve on the gas pipe is closed, or the pressure in the network is lost, the burner will go out. First of all, it is necessary to determine how much the gas pressure corresponds to the operating values. In addition, external influence factors are possible.

The burner flame largely depends on the room conditions and the presence of draft in the smoke removal system.

If there are drafts in the room, the draft may be weakened or completely disappear. then the combustion mode changes sharply and the flame goes out. Another possible reason is the occurrence of reverse draft, which may be caused by strong gusts of wind or drafts in the building.

Types of devices

The Siberia gas boiler, the characteristics of which we have already reviewed, is manufactured in different modifications. For example, all manufacturer’s products can be divided into 3 types:

1. Floor-standing single-circuit. Their feature is a cast iron heat exchanger, which is characterized by increased power. This device is most often used for large houses or buildings consisting of several floors.
2. Floor-standing dual-circuit devices. They are equipped with a heat exchanger made of high-quality and durable steel. Such devices are intended not only for heating the room, but also for producing hot water.
3. Wall-mounted. These devices are lightweight, compact in size and have high performance.

Choosing the right boiler

The most important characteristic that influences the choice of a floor-standing boiler is the power, which must correspond to the area of ​​the heated room. The calculation is done in specialized organizations that charge quite large sums for their services. In fact, you can estimate how much power of a heat generator is needed to heat a particular room on your own without complex calculations: to heat a 10 m2 room you need 1 kW of boiler plant power. The formula is correct for rooms with ceiling heights of up to 3 m. As practice has shown, for normal operation of the boiler unit, you need to add 30% to the resulting value.

Note! For poorly insulated rooms, the power of the boiler installation should be calculated: 2 kW per 10 m2 of area. For warm buildings located in the southern regions of our vastness, this figure is 0.5 (0.7) kW/10 m2.

The second characteristic that you should pay attention to when choosing a floor-standing boiler is the number of circuits. If you want to use the installation not only to heat the room, but also to obtain hot water for household needs, then pay attention to dual-circuit models. They are designated by the letter “K”. Depending on the performance, each such boiler can produce a certain amount of hot water per unit of time.

At a water temperature of 35°C, the nominal flow rate is:

• 11 K – 3.8 l/min;
• 17K – 5.5 l/min;
• 23K – 7 l/min;
• 29K – 8 l/min.

The third selection criterion is the heat exchanger material. Above we indicated all the advantages and disadvantages of devices with steel and cast iron heat exchangers.

Line of models

The Siberia floor-standing gas boiler is most often used for heating large buildings. However, you should consider all product lines of the presented manufacturer:

• AKGV and AOGV. These devices are installed on the floor. Their power ranges from 11 to 35 kW. The heat exchangers in them are often made of carbon steel. AKGV models are double-circuit, and AOGV are single-circuit. The presented equipment is capable of heating rooms with an area of ​​125-400 square meters. m. At a heating temperature of 35 degrees, you can consume 3.8-8 liters of hot water per minute.
• KCHGO. The line of these devices is distinguished by high power: 16, 25, 40 and 50 kW. Such boilers are intended for heating very large houses, industrial or warehouse premises. The heat exchanger in this equipment is made of cast iron.
• Top Line. These are wall-mounted devices with a power of 24 kW. They are equipped with biometric copper heat exchangers. They are capable of serving several water intake points. Most often they are used in those houses whose area does not exceed 200 square meters. m.
• Aqua. These devices are intended, rather, for heating water. Their power ranges from 18-23 kW. The speakers have piezoelectric or electronic ignition.

For which rooms is it best suited?

The floor-standing gas boiler Siberia 17 is designed for heating rooms up to 170 m2.

This is a common size for a medium-sized private home, large apartment, office or commercial space, etc.

The purpose of the premises is housing or public purposes; such boilers are not suitable for industrial or production workshops due to fire safety or technological restrictions.

Drafts and instability of air flow can have a constant impact on draft, causing the boiler to shut down . This is the main factor limiting the use of units in production conditions.

How to choose the right equipment?

The Siberia floor-standing gas boiler (you have already read the reviews) is very efficient and economical. However, you need to choose exactly the option that is suitable for your structure. The following parameters should be taken into account:

1. Device power. The higher it is, the larger the area it can heat. Naturally, the more power, the more fuel you will need. This parameter is always specified in the model name. For example, Siberia-11 has a power of 11.6 kW.
2. The size of the heated room. It can be found in the technical plan of the house. Calculating the power of the device is not difficult. For every 10 sq. m of area requires 1 kW of energy. However, the equipment should not be used to its limits to reduce the likelihood of wear on its parts. Therefore, it is better to increase the resulting power result by a third.
3. Climatic conditions.
4. Decorating the house. This parameter is also of great importance. For example, you can use facing material with additional insulation.
5. Availability or need for hot water supply.
6. Device type. If you want to install equipment in an apartment, it is better to give preference to wall-mounted models. For the home, the floor option will be the best.
7. Heat exchanger type. Experts advise giving preference to a cast iron product, as it is stronger and more durable.

How to enable: brief instructions

All floor-standing models are equipped with the well-known EuroSit 630 automation system, so to turn on the boiler you should follow a simple algorithm:

1. Make sure that the gas supply valve is open and there is draft in the combustion chamber (put a match to the window at the bottom of the boiler).
2. Turn the mechanical thermostat (rotator) to the “Off-0” position, and then all the way to the “⭐” position.
3. Press and hold the magnetic valve button (the start button in the center of the thermostat) for 30 seconds, then press the piezo ignition button near the thermostat once without releasing the start button. At this moment the pilot burner should light up; if this does not happen, repeat the steps. If the wick burns steadily, continue to hold the trigger button for 60 seconds before releasing it.
4. Rotate the thermostat to set the desired temperature value.

Please note that the boiler can be restarted after an emergency shutdown (for example, due to wind blowing) 60 seconds after the valve is automatically closed. This is a design feature of the EuroSit 630, intended as a safety measure. Without knowing this, many owners complain that the boiler is very difficult to light after extinguishing.

Equipment installation rules

Siberia floor-standing gas heating boilers must be installed by a specialist licensed to carry out such work. It is better not to do this on your own. Moreover, you will still have to obtain permission to install.

So, equipment installation has the following features:

• First you need to obtain a permit from the gas service.
• The installation must be carried out by specialists who have a special license to work with heating equipment.
• Since the expansion tank and circulation pump are not included with the equipment, these parts will have to be purchased separately.
• Since you will have to install the boiler against a wall, it is necessary to provide a gap between the device and the base. This distance is at least 3 cm.
• To install the floor unit you will have to make a foundation. Most often it is made of brick. The wall-mounted version must be fixed very firmly.
• The equipment should be connected very carefully so that no gas leaks are detected. That is, all connections must be carefully insulated.
• Please note that when you first start up the equipment, condensation may occur on the heat exchanger. However, this phenomenon is temporary, since after the unit warms up it disappears.

If you want to install a Siberia gas boiler, the installation and operating instructions must be followed strictly.

Rules for using the equipment

So, heating equipment will last longer if you follow the operating rules:

• You cannot turn on the unit if its burner is faulty or the chimney has not been cleaned.
• The boiler body must be grounded.
• If you want to use antifreeze instead of water as a coolant, then it must be certified. The liquid must not contain ethylene glycol.
• Do not bring the water in the system to a boil (heat more than 95 degrees).
• If the boiler is installed near a wall lined with flammable materials, it should be protected with a gasket made of steel or asbestos sheet.
• You can turn on the equipment only after the system is filled with coolant.
• It is imperative to clean the chimney, filters, check the tightness of connections, and flush the burner once a year.

Siberia floor-standing gas heating boilers are a domestic competitor to foreign devices, which can be bought cheaper and will last longer.

Currently, there are a large number of heat generators from different manufacturers on the heating equipment market, among which the leading positions are occupied by German and Italian boilers. However, domestic producers are not giving up their positions. In the article we will look at what the Siberia gas boiler is and note its main characteristics.

Compliance with operating rules

The heater, like any other equipment, will last longer and be of better quality if you follow the established rules during use:

1. Do not turn on if the burner is faulty;
2. Do not use if the chimney is dirty;
3. The case must be grounded;
4. It is necessary to ensure that the water in the system does not reach a boil;
5. The boiler must be installed in a safe place to prevent the surrounding materials from catching fire;
6. Before turning it on, you should make sure that the system is full;
7. Maintenance should be carried out once a year:
   Chimney cleaning;
8. Filter cleaning;
9. Burner flushing;
10. Checking the tightness of connections.

About the manufacturer

The owner of the Siberia brand is Rostovgazapparat CJSC. This is a large company that produces gas equipment. The company began its activities in 1988 in Rostov-on-Don.

You can find out the price and buy heating equipment and related products from us. Write, call and come to one of the stores in your city. Delivery throughout the Russian Federation and CIS countries.

It was the first in the USSR - in 1959 - to begin producing gas boilers AOGV-80. Currently, the plant is a model of automation and robotization of production processes. Products manufactured by Siberia have a service life of 20 years.

Cost, service and manufacturer's warranty

The service life of floor-standing gas boilers produced under the Siberia brand, declared by the manufacturer, is 10 years. Official warranty – 3 years.

However, even such reliable equipment requires maintenance. The number of service centers that repair equipment of this brand exceeds all imaginable indicators. For example, in Rostov alone there are 17 of them and each service center has several branches.

As for the cost of the equipment, it is adequate and quite affordable for domestic consumers. Today, you can buy a floor-standing gas boiler Siberia from 20 to 35 thousand rubles.

Design and principle of operation of the Siberia gas boiler

The design of the Siberia gas boiler includes:

• the heat exchanger is made of carbon structural steel;
• automatic Sit unit is constructed of a magnetic valve, a modulating thermostat for on/off, a thermoelectric device that is responsible for controlling the flame;
• there is a re-ignition and fuel pressure stabilizer, piezo ignition and a gas filter;
• atmospheric burner, which is made of heat-resistant steel. Can function in low pressure conditions;
• body with powder protective coating;
• foil heat insulator designed to reduce heat transfer and increase productivity;
• capillary thermometer.

The unit is activated using piezo ignition. The spark ignites the burner while it is still functioning. The main burner, the atmospheric burner, is ignited by the igniter. The radiator begins to heat up, and with it the coolant heats up.

The thermostat determines the temperature, and when the water temperature reaches the set value, the automation will automatically turn off the flame. When, in the process of lowering the temperature, it reaches a critical point, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the valve - the fuel supply begins again and the fire is ignited. And the procedure is repeated.

Design features and technical equipment

The design of boilers of this brand is practically no different from their imported counterparts, however, there are several points that the consumer should pay attention to.

1. The body of all models of Siberia floor-standing gas boilers is thermally insulated with foil-coated basalt insulation. This means that the manufacturer has minimized heat loss and taken care of the safe operation of its devices.
2. Siberia floor-standing gas heat generators use non-volatile automation with piezoelectric ignition and flame control, a magnetic valve and a modulating thermostat. A special feature of the automation is the presence of a gas pressure stabilizer, which makes the boiler safe for operation in conditions of frequent pressure changes in the gas main.
3. The burner used in the equipment of this brand is atmospheric and made of stainless steel.

It should be noted that the vital modules of Siberia gas boilers are not produced at the plant, but are purchased from Italian contractors. Eurosit automation is famous for its reliability and accuracy in maintaining the coolant temperature; Worgas burners are considered environmentally friendly equipment; When fuel is burned, there are no traces of nitrogen and carbon oxides in the exhaust gases.

Conclusion: the automation and technical equipment of Siberia boilers allows you to safely operate the equipment in conditions of power outages and gas pressure drops in the main line.

Advantages

Siberia boiler logo

According to the manufacturer, the Siberia gas floor-standing boiler is a new generation heating device that is used not only to heat a house, but also to supply it with hot water. If we compare these devices with foreign-made analogues, we can note the following advantages:

• a wide range of models, each user will be able to choose the best option based on the required functionality and funds;
• fully automated control system that ensures simple and safe operation;
• the units are highly economical;
• ensures uninterrupted operation of the device even in harsh operating conditions;

Needs to be attached:

• Heating circuit forward and return pipelines.
• Gas pipeline.
• Make-up pipeline.
• Chimney.

After connecting the communications, the system is filled with water until it flows out of the signal pipe.

Then open the gas valve, press the pointer handle (all the way) and at the same time press the piezo ignition button of the pilot burner . You must hold it for up to 1 minute until a flame appears on the pilot burner.

After this, the pointer knob is set to position 4, the main burner lights up and the boiler begins to function.

Operation of the units involves periodically cleaning them from dust and soot, changing the current temperature settings as desired, and monitoring the general condition of the system.

If unusual or alarming signs appear, turn off the gas valve and immediately call a technician from the service center to inspect and repair (adjust) the device.

Any independent intervention in the mechanism can cause an accident and failure of the equipment..

Series of gas boilers Siberia

The manufacturer of gas boilers for heating private houses, Siberia, offers three series of these devices:

1. Premium Topline-24. These models are designed for heating small rooms. They have two circuits, so in addition to heating they perform the function of heating water for domestic needs. A distinctive feature of this series is electronic ignition. There is ionization control of fire and exhaust gases. There is also an anti-scale function. Boiler performance is high, efficiency reaches 90%.
2. Comfort Siberia. Models - 23, 29 35, 40, 50 (these values ​​​​indicate the power of the device). Boilers of this series are available with both one and two circuits. Designed for heating large areas.
3. Economy Siberia. These units began to be produced in 2005. There are four main modifications, differentiated by the number of circuits and power - 11; 6 and 17.6 kW. “K” in the marking indicates that the boiler is double-circuit. If desired, the operation of the equipment can be switched to liquefied gas. The body of the device is covered with enamel, which protects it from mechanical damage.

The best and most famous models: characteristics and prices

Classic floor-standing boilers Siberia

Classic, inexpensive and most popular boilers with a steel heat exchanger. They are distinguished by their compact size, heat exchanger steel thickness of 4 mm, reliability and reasonable price. Efficiency is 90%, gas consumption of the 11.6 kW model is only 1.18 m 3 / hour. Available in 11, 17, 23, 29 and 35 kW versions. There are also double-circuit models; they come with the prefix “K” (for example, Siberia 11K) and cost only 5-15% more than single-circuit ones.

Otherwise, after more than 12 years of operating experience, there are practically no serious service complaints; the model is considered the most successful and most reliable of domestic gas boilers. It has almost all the previously described disadvantages - sensitivity to clogging, noisy ignition. Please note that the maximum permissible operating pressure is only 1 bar, so it is not recommended to use the model in closed systems, where the operating pressure is usually 1.5-2 bar.

Cost: 19,800-26,000 rubles.

KCHGO series

One of the best Siberia gas boilers for heating a private home. This is a larger and heavier model with a durable cast iron heat exchanger. Cast iron is practically not subject to corrosion, so such heat exchangers last 30 years or more, although they are much more expensive. Unlike the previous model, the permissible operating pressure is now 3 bar, which allows the boiler to be used in any domestic closed heating systems with forced circulation of coolant. Available in 16, 25, 40, 50 kW versions.

The burner and automation of the boiler are still the same - the famous Italian EuroSit and Polidoro, so the gas consumption remained at the same level - 1.7 m 3 / hour for the 16 kW model. Otherwise, everything is the same as with classic steel floorplates. A significant drawback is the lack of dual-circuit versions. Prices for cast iron models, although quite high, are much lower than foreign analogues and are among the lowest among domestic ones

Execution options

Heater parameters

The high efficiency of the AOGV - up to 92% - means that the installation of this equipment will bring maximum heating efficiency, and this is due to the original design of the jacket. Boilers can operate in heating systems with forced or natural circulation of coolant, provided that the pressure in the system is at least 1.4 Atm. Such conditions can ensure a liquid temperature of +40/+90C.

The disadvantage of this equipment can be considered to be too much power - even the lowest-power boiler produced by the Zhukovsky plant is designed to heat an area of ​​at least 200 m2, which means that in small houses its installation will be impractical and costly.

The burner in any modification and brand of boiler is made of stainless steel, so its durability is guaranteed. The jacket for hot water supply is made of copper, the body of the unit is coated with polymer or powder paint. Standard automation has temperature sensors and regulators to control the temperature of the coolant and prevent overheating of the boiler. The package also includes a thermocouple that controls gas flow and an air flow stabilizer, which serves to compensate for differences in air pressure during gusts of wind, and shuts off the gas in calm weather.

Installation rules

In order to create an autonomous heating system and install equipment, you must have a project and permits that are prescribed by the gas company. According to the manufacturer's requirements, the installation of Siberia floor-standing boilers must be carried out in accordance with SNiP standards and the requirements of GOST and SanPin, only by certified specialists who have permission to conduct such activities.

After you buy the equipment and have the permit in hand, you need to take care of additional devices. You need to purchase an expansion tank, a circulation pump, which is responsible for the forced movement of the coolant along the heating circuit. This equipment must be purchased separately, because It is not included in the boiler package.

The next stage is preparing the boiler room. Floor-standing boilers can be installed in a kitchen or in a specially designated non-residential premises that has a supply and exhaust ventilation system and a waste gas removal system. Utilities must be installed in the firebox.

Next, we pay attention to the location of the boiler unit - you need to choose an area near fireproof walls. Be sure to place the floor heating device on the foundation.

You can connect the pipeline and heating circuit yourself, without the help of specialists. Gas industry employees must connect the installation to the gas main.

Special features of the automatic system

As mentioned above, all products are automated and have a number of special features:

• The Italian Eurosit system controls the temperature;
• The automated system has a piezoelectric ignition function;
• Automation blocks make it easy to control the system;
• Mechanism of draft and flame control;
• The automatic system optimally consumes gas through the optimal choice of burner function;
• No need to control the process of the combination valve;

All systems are independent of energy, so there is no need to connect to the electrical network, and this is very important for Russia. Constant network failures disable all heating systems

Burner: basic operating functions

The Siberia heating system burner differs from its competitors in its operating features:

• The system is made of stainless steel, so even at low gas pressure there is no burnout.
• The burner is made in Italy.
• The system is made from environmentally friendly materials, so there are no harmful substances in the exhaust gases.
• The burner is very easy to use. You don't need any skill to replace or clean the system.
• At the time of replacing the igniter and the main part of the burner, the system runs on liquid fuel.

A few words about the power that each system has its own. To figure out how much power is required for an area, you can calculate it - take 10 square meters. m per 1 kilowatt. This calculation says that the system will work to its maximum, so add 0.3 to the resulting figure. If you need to warm up a room of 100 sq. m., then you better choose the 11th model Siberia. Moreover, when choosing a heating system, you need to choose design features - material, location, finish. For less insulated rooms, you need to calculate 1.5–2 kW per 10 square meters. m., for warm rooms - 0.5–0.7 kW.

If you want to use the Siberia boiler not only for heating, but also for supplying hot water, then it is better to buy boilers with the letter name K. If you buy the boiler model K, then such a system can provide all the hot water needs for several people. If more than three people will use hot water, then you need to buy a powerful boiler.

How much space is needed to install the boiler?

wall and floor heating systems can be used

The boiler room may not be heated

It is also important to consider that more powerful Siberia models make noise during operation. Some manufacturers produce powerful floor systems with excellent heat and sound insulation, which are installed outside the boiler room - in the hallway or kitchen

Additional details of the system are:

• Cranes;
• Expansion tank.

How to save on heating?

Without the slightest loss in comfort, you can reduce fuel costs by 10%. Especially if you have a private house and you are going to carry out major renovations. The initial costs can be recouped even with basic tariffs, and the price of fuel will rise. Your invested money will pay off even faster.

The very first thing you can do is reduce the heat loss of the building. This is a whole range of works, installation of doors and windows, insulation of walls

After all the work has been carried out, thermal monitoring must be performed: it is important to check that heat does not penetrate through the cracks. There are special companies that check losses using thermal imagers

And the owner of a private house can purchase a remote thermometer

It is also very important to choose a boiler based on power and positive reviews. The more square meters you need to heat, the more carefully you need to pay attention to the heat calculation. And the owner of a private house can purchase a remote thermometer

Main faults of Siberia

The simple design of these boilers does not cause serious malfunctions, especially when users carry out systematic maintenance of the main modules. For this reason, there is practically no interest in spare parts for Siberia gas floor equipment.

The most common operational failures are:

1. The piezo igniter or the main burner device does not light well. The most common cause of this failure is poor traction. A possible reason for the lack of combustion is a clogged wick or base burner.

   
   Sometimes there are problems with ignition

2. The pilot burner goes out after 5-15 seconds. This failure indicates reverse draft in the chimney. The reason for this is often an incorrectly designed gas duct: it is too short or too long and there is no deflector.
3. The boiler unit does not raise the temperature of the heating water above 60 C. Most often, this occurs due to a clogged gas valve.
4. Software failure E01, it indicates the absence of a torch. This can happen when the gas tap is turned off, there is a significant pressure drop in the gas network or surges in the electrical network.
5. Failure E04 - pressure drop in the water system is less than 0.7 bar. As a rule, this is due to air locks, leaks, breakage of the expansion tank or safety relief valve.
