The use of mixing units and heating fittings in the installation of household boiler rooms

In addition to boilers heating, owners of private houses or objects are faced with the problem of high-quality installation of heating systems, which must be developed in accordance with the existing range. It should be noted that high-quality heating and water supply fittings are produced in Ukraine, which are more profitable in comparison with the pumping groups given as an example of installation. This is what will be discussed on the example of the assortment of the company "Gulfstream" from the Dnieper.

Professional fittings allow you to expand the functionality of heating systems, make them safer and more technologically advanced. No industrial heating system can do without it.

Buffer tanks - part of heating fittings

One of the recommended thermal connection schemes solid fuel boilers FOCUS is a solution with a buffer tank. Outwardly, this block is a tank with nozzles according to the number of connections. The buffer tank can be implemented as a heat and hydraulic accumulator, and also be equipped with heat exchangers and heaters.

A special feature of the buffer tank without a heat exchanger is the heat saving of hot water in the heating circuit. Such containers have additional elements in their cavity. The device works as a layer-by-layer storage device. First, it manifests its functions as a heat battery, which separates the processes of generation and absorption of thermal energy. This principle functionally complements the operation of solar plants and boiler generators, the thermal energy of which must be conserved. Heating fittings help to achieve the desired functionality of the heating system.

Low power boilers

The company produces inexpensive and high-quality hydraulic switches for boilers with a capacity of up to 30 kW. The low loss header is used for multiple manifold installation.

Distribution and radiator manifolds

Manifolds with a distribution function are used to distribute the heat carrier to consumers - high-temperature and low-temperature circuits. The models differ in the way they are mounted. Some manifolds functionally combine the functions of a manifold with a low loss header. Collectors with a hydraulic arrow function are often installed by specialists in heating circuits, thus reducing the cost of installation.

It is necessary to distinguish between distribution and radiator manifolds used for wiring thermal circuits. With the help of such heating fittings, a compact beam wiring of radiators is provided.

Pumping groups

The pumping groups offered by the company are designed for the device of heating circuits with forced circulation. The range includes a group with circuit thermoregulation and without a temperature sensor.

Underfloor heating collectors

This type of collector differs from traditional radiator collectors. First of all, they help to connect the low-temperature circuit with autonomous circulation to high-temperature heating systems. Collectors of this type are supplied with a pump, thermostat and temperature sensor.

Brass manifolds with flow meters and thermostats are considered an alternative to mixers. For the installation of underfloor heating circuits, mixing manifolds with a pump can be used, which also provide autonomous circulation in the circuit.

Alternative solutions

Manufacturers are constantly working to offer customers sophisticated technological solutions. For example, with regard to the transition of the coolant between the high-temperature and low-temperature circuits with decreasing temperature. Some companies offer a special pumping group in which the "return" from the radiators is fed to the heating circuits of the "warm" floors. This solution fully meets the temperature requirements, therefore, before making a purchase, we recommend ordering a project.

What else influences the heating system design?

The organization of the heating system is significantly influenced not only by the available fittings and fittings groups, examples of which we have given in our publications. If solid fuel boilers FOCUS with burners supplied in a complete set, ready for connection, then the owner of the house or object will have to make an effort to correctly make the piping of the boiler room. You need to decide on the available heating fittings, their price category and type.

The design decision will be significantly influenced by automation. With all devices in the line Plum EcoMAX there is a need to make changes to the heating circuit. For these reasons, we strongly recommend ordering a heating project and implementing it under the auspices of an experienced master.

To this end, you can give a few tips:

• the solution for the installation of the boiler room is implemented by specialists in the spirit of modern requirements, taking into account the multi-circuit wiring;
• even if there is only one boiler in the system, it is advisable to connect it through a buffer tank or a hydraulic arrow. This is not only safer, but also allows you to switch to polypropylene and plastic pipes in residential premises;
• correct hydraulic wiring will allow expanding the functions of the boiler room as far as possible. Do not forget to take into account the prospective development of your boiler house when buying collector groups. This can be done with minimal additional cost;
• before installation, you need to understand well the technologies used and select products that meet the technical requirements.

Subject to these recommendations, purchasing high-quality heating fittings, when deploying a boiler room, its uninterrupted operation with the desired level of automation is guaranteed.
