Gas heating boilers made in Ukraine: what to choose

The heating equipment market is saturated with various types of modern and convenient electric and gas boilers. However, today solid fuels remain in demand, and in some situations they simply have no alternative, since they are the only ones available.

In general, there is a wide selection of this equipment on the heating equipment market. Along with well-known, time-tested brands, new high-tech equipment is appearing that is not inferior to elite brands in quality, technical parameters and price, and in some characteristics even exceeds their advantages.

Assortment of models from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus

The market offers a wide range of heating devices that can provide heat to both large and small rooms or entire buildings.

Models from manufacturers from the CIS countries are popular among consumers. They are better adapted to work in local realities. On this point, they are able to give a head start to European or American-made models, albeit somewhat inferior in functionality.

Models made in Ukraine are of interest to the buyer. Such gas heating boilers are best adapted to work in local conditions, and manufacturers clearly understand what difficulties their products will face during operation, so they offer reliable and durable models.

Devices from Ukrainian manufacturers are offered in a wide range - every buyer will find a model suitable for themselves in terms of cost and performance characteristics.

Single-circuit models and gas double-circuit heating boilers are offered;
There are models with additional options.

Purchase of a Ukrainian-made boiler

When choosing gas boilers made in Ukraine, pay attention to such parameters as productivity (1 kW for every 10 sq. m of area) and the energy carrier used.
It influences the choice and type of combustion chamber - a closed one is installed in apartments of multi-storey buildings, an open one - only in private buildings. A properly selected equipment configuration will ensure efficient heating of your home at minimal cost.

It is most profitable to use gas for heating premises if they have a gas supply system. The next most economical option is electricity. A solid fuel boiler is suitable for ensuring energy independence from all communications.

Cauldron at Donetsk Airport (at various times up to 1500 punitive forces)

0
In the summer of 2014, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were blocked on the territory of the airport by DPR detachments, which repeatedly tried to take the airport by storm. Only at the end of July, as a result of successful unblocking actions of the Ukrainian army and the retreat of the DPR forces within the city limits, the security forces managed to break through the “corridor” and deliver heavy weapons to the airport. At the end of August, the rebels resumed their assault on the airport. MLRS and heavy artillery were used to suppress ground strongholds and firing points. The shelling led to a large fire in the main airport building. After the artillery barrage, according to the rebels, from 20 to 50 Ukrainian soldiers left the airport and surrendered. On September 2, according to the rebels, part of the airfield and part of the ground structures came under their control. The Minsk agreement, signed on September 5, 2014, left the territory on which the airport is located to the militias. On the night of September 12-13, the part of the airport under the control of the Ukrainian military was again subjected to heavy artillery fire and an assault with the participation of tanks. The attack was repulsed. Attempts to storm the old terminal building, which continued to be held by Ukrainian forces, were reported on September 28, October 2 and October 3. On October 6, the rebels declared that the entire airport area, including hangars, buildings and underground communications, was completely under their control. For two days (from November 30 to December 1) there were fierce battles for the airport. As of December 8, the airport, according to the Ukrainian side, was under their control. According to representatives of the DPR, the old terminal is under their control, the new one is under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As of mid-December, Ukrainian security forces retained control of the new terminal, while the rebels retained control of the old one. After reaching an agreement on a ceasefire, on December 12, the DPR forces provided a humanitarian corridor to the Ukrainian security forces for a rotation of personnel, during which, under the camera of the Russian TV channel Lifenews, a militia commander with the call sign “Motorola” and etc. O. The battalion commander of the 93rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade with the call sign “Dome” shook hands. Subsequently, 2 more rotations of Ukrainian military personnel were carried out through DPR-controlled Donetsk - on December 22 and January 6. On January 13, 2015, after two days of shelling of Donetsk by Ukrainian troops, DPR forces went on the offensive, starting battles for the new terminal. On the same day, the airport control tower was destroyed. On January 14, official representative of the DPR D. Pushilin announced the retreat of the Ukrainian military from the airport, but soon the ATO headquarters denied information that ATO units had left the Donetsk airport. On January 15, the head of the DPR A. Zakharchenko announced the establishment of control over the Donetsk airport. The ATO headquarters denied the militia's statement about the seizure of Donetsk airport. However, the Ukrainian military reported receiving an order to retreat from the village of Peski, which covered the airport, and they reported that when they tried to occupy the airport, the militias used tear gas. On January 16, fierce battles for the airport (“new terminal”) continued. The Ukrainian forces were led by the brigade commander of the 93rd brigade O. Mikats. According to the militia, 10 Ukrainian security forces were killed during the battle, in addition, six charred bodies were found in the building itself. The militia estimated their losses at one dead and eight wounded. On the same day, the “Sparta” and “Somalia” battalions, according to them, suppressed pockets of resistance of the Ukrainian army and repelled counterattacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the village of Peski. According to the DPR Minister of Defense, Ukrainian troops used phosphorus ammunition when shelling the airport. On January 17, the DPR Ministry of Defense stated that Ukrainian security forces, with the support of 10 tanks and infantry fighting vehicles and a company of motorized infantry, launched a counter-offensive on the Donetsk airport; According to them, during the attack the Ukrainian army lost 4 tanks, 1 infantry fighting vehicle and 15 soldiers. On January 22, the Ukrainian side admitted that it had completely lost control over the Donetsk airport.

The manufacturer's range includes simple gas heating boilers and those equipped with additional functionality. The first models are non-volatile; they do not require a connection to an active electrical network to function. The latter will require a connection, but they offer a lot of additional functions.

The buyer can easily select the appropriate model, focusing on the power, convenience, size or cost of the devices offered.

Yelenovsky Cauldron (2000 punitive forces)

0
At 4 a.m. on August 24, the militia began attacking Yelenovka. During the fighting, the militia captured the northeastern part of Yelenovka, destroying up to eight tanks, up to 19 armored combat vehicles and a mortar battery. The Yelenovsky “cauldron”, the third one formed in August 2014, included the Azov and Dnepr units of the National Guard. At least 2,000 punitive forces were surrounded here. The boiler was practically closed from the west and south. The Elenovsky cauldron turned out to be west of the Amvrosievsky cauldron, but these two Ukrainian army groups could not connect. The troops of the Army of New Russia, wedged in from the north, were firmly entrenched between them, and they could no longer be dislodged from Starobeshevo and Novy Svet (a lake successfully covered by a horseshoe). Thanks to this strategic gain, the possibility of connecting large encircled enemy groups was impossible. This condemned 5,000 punitive forces to the Ambrosievsky cauldron and greatly limited the ability of the 2,000-strong group to escape from the Elenivsky cauldron.

Soon the operation to liquidate the cauldron began, as representatives of the militia reported: “A wild barrage of fire fell on the “cauldron”, ours hit with whatever they could. “If the Nazis do not surrender after this, then nothing will help them,” one of the DPR soldiers reported. By the end of summer, the group was defeated, the militia received a large number of prisoners and captured equipment.

Boilers from ATON company

Gas heating boilers under the ATON brand will allow everyone to choose a convenient device for any purpose - models are offered for floor installation and wall mounting.

ATON boilers

The range includes models with a closed combustion chamber of various capacities. The simplest models are single-circuit (designed to heat a room), with a power of about 7 kW. The gas consumption in such devices is 0.8 cubic meters per hour.

These models are purchased to heat a small house or apartment.

More powerful or functionally rich devices are also produced.

In particular, ATON dual-circuit models are offered, capable of heating a room and providing hot water to residents.

Such a device is capable of producing a rated power of 20-80 kW.

The model range of this manufacturer includes high-power gas heating boilers, which can be safely purchased for large premises, individual office or industrial buildings. Here, too, there is a choice - floor-mounted, wall-mounted, double- or single-circuit.

ATON is a company with more than 15 years of history, a leader in the Ukrainian market, cooperating with well-known European manufacturers of heating equipment and parts for them.

Installation of double-circuit heating boilers

The main design components of the units under consideration are:

heat exchanger;
burner;
the combustion chamber;
automatic control.

The material for the production of the heat exchanger can be cast iron, copper, steel or aluminum. Each material has its positive sides and disadvantages. Steel elements have high heat transfer, have higher strength than cast iron, but are afraid of water. Cast iron units are durable, inexpensive, strong, but have a lot of weight, which limits installation possibilities. Copper and aluminum components have a high degree of heat transfer, they are not afraid of corrosion, and can withstand mechanical loads. However, these are fusible materials and they will not be able to provide greater power.

The main function of the burner is to produce heat to heat the coolant in the system. Above the burner there is a heat exchanger, inside of which there is a coolant.

Danko and Mayak boilers

No less popular are products from Ukrainian manufacturers Danko and Mayak.

The Mayak plant divides its products into two types - industrial (with high power, large dimensions) and household (compact and functional devices intended for use at home).

Boilers Mayak

Household ones are offered with a closed combustion chamber, floor-standing type. Such gas heating boilers offer power from 7 to 16 kW, which is more than enough to heat a large room or a small house.

In addition to single-circuit models, devices are produced that can also provide hot water supply (for this they are equipped with a separate circuit, which is why they are called double-circuit).

Mayak offers cast iron and steel models, equipped with electronic ignition or completely energy-independent.

Danko boilers are offered in a wide power range - there are gas heating boilers with a power from 2 to 140 kW. They are distinguished by a simple and reliable design, which has a positive effect on the durability and maintainability of the device.

General characteristics of boilers produced in Ukraine

Specialists who understand boiler equipment will probably notice that in their design, solid fuel boilers manufactured in Ukraine are very similar to the elite equipment of the brands Herz, Herlt, Hargassner and some others, and we are talking about their full-fledged versions, and not the lightweight ones with which our consumers have to deal with most often.

When mastering the production of solid fuel boilers in Ukraine, manufacturing companies are actively adopting the experience of their foreign competitors, but not just copying it, but trying to improve it, taking into account the conditions characteristic of our countries.

Foreign dealers prefer to supply “stripped-down” models, for example, without combustion chamber lining. Such boilers do not work well on raw fuel and, since they are widespread almost everywhere, many users mistakenly attribute this drawback to all solid fuel boilers.

Pyrolysis boilers CET

Ukrainian-made pyrolysis boilers are manufactured with full equipment. It is mandatory to line the combustion chamber with heat-resistant concrete and other compounds.

Even raw firewood with a humidity of up to 50% can be used as fuel for such a unit, while its performance characteristics will remain at the highest level.

How else do Ukrainian products compare favorably with those imported from abroad? There are several advantages:

1. Versatility. Ukrainian manufacturers take into account the difficulties associated with low quality fuel and interruptions in its supply, so their boilers are practically “omnivorous”.

2. Reliable electronics. It is no secret that the quality of electricity supply in our countries, especially in settlements remote from cities, leaves much to be desired. This circumstance is taken into account when developing electronic control and monitoring systems for Ukrainian solid fuel boilers, so they are able to remain operational even with significant fluctuations in voltage in the electrical network.

3. Availability of spare parts. In the event of a breakdown, delivery of spare parts for a Ukrainian boiler will take less time and money than for its imported “colleague”.

4. Low cost. While in terms of equipment, Ukrainian solid fuel boilers correspond to the most expensive models of elite foreign brands (which, we remind you, practically never come to us), they have the same cost as economy-class units from the same manufacturers. This circumstance is partly due to the fact that the sale of solid fuel boilers in Ukraine is carried out directly by manufacturers, and therefore does not involve dealer markups.

Solid fuel boilers made in Ukraine

Considering these advantages, as well as a wide range of functions and durability of Ukrainian boilers, more and more consumers are choosing them.

Colvi-Termona, Thermobar and Ross

Colvi-Termona is produced in Chernigov. Gas heating boilers from this manufacturer are distinguished by their unusual design, more typical of European models, high quality and affordable prices.

It is noteworthy that Colvi-Termona offers devices not of purely Ukrainian production, but jointly with the Czech Republic, whose household appliances have been gaining popularity in recent years.

The Ross company is a large production association that has proven itself well in the Ukrainian heating equipment market.

Ross boilers

For over 25 years, this organization has been producing heating equipment and producing a lot of models intended for home and industrial use. We offer different types of installation - floor and wall models, devices of various capacities.

Ross gas heating boilers are of interest to buyers for their affordable cost, reliability, and ease of operation.

In July 2014, militias of the Donetsk People's Republic under the command of Igor Strelkov cut off a ledge in the area of the city of Torez, using sabotage, reconnaissance and armored groups, and thereby completed a multi-day joint operation with the LPR to encircle a group of Ukrainian army troops in the south-east of the Donetsk region in space from the village of Marinovka in the east of the Donetsk region (border with Russia) to the Izvarino checkpoint in the east of the Lugansk region. Units of the following units were surrounded: 79th separate airmobile brigade, 24th separate mechanized brigade, 28th guards mechanized brigade, 51st mechanized brigade, 72nd separate mechanized brigade, 3rd special forces regiment, combined detachment border guards, territorial battalion "Shakhtersk", part of the battalion "Azov". The size of the encircled group, according to various sources, ranged from 4,500 fighters (AFU version) to 8,000 (militia data). The formations were cut off from supplies (which required the involvement of military transport aviation; this led to the loss of several vehicles), communications, fire support, were constantly exposed to artillery and mortar fire, and suffered huge losses.

An example of such attacks is the rocket attack near Zelenopole on July 11, which, according to various sources, killed from 19 to several hundred Ukrainian military personnel. In the encircled formations, desertion and movement of fighters to Russian territory were observed. A key role in the encirclement of the group of troops of the Ukrainian army was played by the Saur-Mogila height, around which battles repeatedly unfolded. By August 6, as a result of the liquidation of the pocket, the zone of control of the militia forces over the border doubled. On August 7, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the DPR A.V. Zakharchenko reported that “the security forces surrounded in the “southern cauldron” have almost surrendered. There are 800 people left there.” On August 8, the militia announced that they had captured 67 pieces of equipment from Ukrainian troops of varying degrees of serviceability (serviceable equipment without ammunition and fuel and lubricants, with malfunctions, damaged in battle and completely unusable), including 18 Grad multiple launch rocket systems, Osa anti-aircraft missile systems, 15 tanks and armored personnel carriers, howitzers, man-portable anti-aircraft missile systems, infantry fighting vehicles, airborne combat vehicles. As a result of the liquidation of the cauldron, the punitive forces lost more than 4,000 killed, wounded and prisoners, 438 fighters fled to Russian territory, and up to 240 went over to the side of the militia.

Buran

The average price is $1,100. They are popular in the market due to the fact that they can function for a long time without human intervention. It is clear that the creators of the boilers relied on this factor.

Among the Buran brand boilers there are models in which firewood can be used, and there are also models for coal fuel. The strength of coal-type boilers is that they can operate at low temperatures. Like many models of this type, low-temperature boilers can operate for up to five days without additional refueling. Models that operate on wood can operate for up to 30 hours without additional refueling.

When creating Buran brand boilers, it was planned to equip the unit with a specially designed boiler, due to which heat transfer increased on average by 40%.

Another feature of the Buran brand is an air diffuser with an unusual design, thanks to which the air flow rotates and this ensures uniform fuel combustion.

In conclusion, it can be noted that Ukrainian manufacturers rely on the quality of boilers, which often exceeds the quality of Western-made units. At the same time, Ukrainian boilers have affordable prices. This explains the demand for solid fuel boilers made in Ukraine.

Main selection criteria

Our experts compared gas boilers taking into account the main criteria on which operating efficiency, cost, and functionality depend. This TOP of gas boilers is compiled conditionally. We relied on consumer reviews and also studied the expert opinions of professionals in the field of climate control technology.

The experts relied on the following characteristics:

Heated area. Most models are designed for use in rooms up to 250 m². There is equipment designed for houses with smaller dimensions.
Equipment sizes. Before installing a gas boiler, take measurements. The unit must fit organically into the available space.
Device type. There are chimney, convection, condensation, parapet and turbocharged models. The most modern are condensing units that burn not only gas, but also condensation vapor. The price of such devices is higher than conventional analogues.
Power. Our online store offers models in a wide range of capacities. You can choose from 2.5 kW to 108 kW.
Number of contours. Double-circuit units are designed for heating purposes, as well as for hot water supply. Single-circuit - for heating only. However, some single-circuit models provide the ability to connect an indirect heating boiler.
Kind of traction. According to this parameter, devices are divided into models with forced and natural draft.
A type of combustion chamber. There are devices with an open and closed camera. The latter are more expensive, but at the same time they prevent gas combustion products from entering the air, which allows them to be used in residential premises.
Kind of ignition. Among the presented models there are varieties with electronic and piezo ignition. The latter do not depend on the availability of power in the network.
Method for removing combustion products. There are chimney and chimneyless units. The latter can be operated without a traditional chimney - just connecting to a coaxial one is enough.
Efficiency Depends on the type of boiler. Condensing models have an efficiency of over 100%.
Installation type. There are wall and floor models. The former are preferable in conditions of limited space.
Type of fuel used. Most of the models discussed in our rating operate on natural gas mains. Some units can be converted to run on liquefied gas.
Power modulation level. This parameter determines the energy efficiency of the device.
A type of chimney. There are naturally aspirated, coaxial, parallel and turbocharged varieties.
Heat exchanger material. This criterion determines the resource and duration of uninterrupted operation of devices.
Options. Carefully study the list of components that are supplied with the heating equipment. On some devices, certain options must be purchased separately.
A type of circulation pump. There are one- and three-speed models, with frequency control, with automatic speed switching.
Type of control. There are devices with mechanical, touch and electronic controls.
