Turbined gas column - free-cooling, unfettered: reviews, in a private house

To ensure the flow from the tap of hot water at any time helps the water heater. For example, a gas column. However, it is not possible to install such equipment in every house, because such a column should lead the products of combustion through the chimney. In this case, a turbocharged model of such a device is capable of helping out, which, in connection with the possibility of its installation without a chimney, is also called a chimney-free( or in some sources unmadeable).

• This column can be installed indoors without a chimney.
• Due to the forced air injection in this device, a higher efficiency.
• The presence of a closed combustion chamber prevents an increase in the room air temperature, which is especially important for summer operation.
• Since the air for column work is taken from the street, oxygen is not burned in the apartment.
• As the column body is almost completely closed, this reduces the risk of gas products falling into the room.

• This column is volatile, since its fan is powered by the mains. If electricity is turned off, the use of a turbocharged column is not possible.
• Due to the fan operation, the equipment functions quite noisily.
• Columns of this type are more expensive than traditional models. On average, the price of a turbocharged device is 15-17 thousand rubles or more.
• To install such a column, coordination is required not only with organizations responsible for the supply of natural gas, but also with neighbors living above your apartment. The removal of the pipe to the facade of the building may be prohibited by the architectural control service.
• The outgoing pipe can freeze due to the constant formation of condensation in winter.

speakers Modern speakers are economical, safe and high-performance. They also attract their design and ease of management, but they require a lot of attention to the removal of products of natural gas combustion. Use for this purpose ventilation ducts in the building can not, because you need a dedicated chimney. It is absent in many buildings, which causes a ban on installing a gas column in such houses.

One of the outputs can be a device of a remote chimney that will leave the apartment through the outer wall. However, it is difficult and expensive, and sometimes impossible. And installing a turbocharged heater will be a more appropriate option.

You can meet:

• Semi-turbo column. Such equipment can be installed in any room that is well ventilated. The fan should ensure not only the removal of combustion products, but also the inflow to the burner of fresh air. The installation of such a column requires close attention to the norms of air exchange in the room. The plus of the semi-turbo device is a lower price( it is almost half the price of turbocharged models).
• Turbocharged column. Such a device is completely independent of the ventilation system in the house. This equipment not only takes the products of combustion out of the apartment, but also takes away from the street the air necessary for the functioning of the burner.

In the turbocharged models there is a two-circuit chimney, which is also called coaxial. In its structure it represents a pipe inside a pipe. Smoke is diverted to the inside, and through the gap between the pipes inside the room comes a stream of air from the street. This made it possible to equip the column with a closed combustion chamber, which does not require air from the room, so that the overall safety of using the heater has increased.

• When buying a turbocharged heater, first determine the location in which you want to install the column. So you will calculate the availability and cost of installation works.
• When selecting the appropriate column, first pay attention to its power, as this depends on the output of hot water. Determine if you need simultaneous receipt of warm water from 2-3 sources, since in this case the device to be purchased must be of higher power.
• The next important indicator is the type of device ignition. It can be represented by a piezo spark( inside the column the igniter will be constantly lit) or by electric ignition( a more economical option, since the ignition will only light when the apparatus is turned on).There are also models, the ignition in which comes from the hydrogenerator.
• Note the control column. In many models, the temperature is controlled manually, but there are also devices with automatic regulation.
• Pay attention to the safety of the model you are buying. You should be sure that if the overheating, water pressure changes or damping of the burner, the column does not cause health and life problems.
• Determining the manufacturer, ask about the availability and cost of spare parts.

The connection of a turbocharged column should be handled by specialists. With your hands, you can only connect the device to the water supply. Also, you can independently pull out the chimney by making a hole in the wall. The pipe installation should be hermetically sealed, so it is important to pay attention to its thermal insulation and use couplings and adapters.

• Termet Aquacomfort Turbo G19-03.This is an inexpensive semi-turbo model from a popular Polish manufacturer. The column uses an electric ignition device, the power of the device is 19.2 kW.For a minute, 11 liters of water are heated in this apparatus. The model can also function on liquefied gas.
• BOSCH Therm 8000 S WTD 27 AME.This is a very expensive column from a well-known German manufacturer. Its advantages are called excellent quality and high reliability of the device. For a minute in such equipment, up to 27 liters of water is heated, and the power of the device is 45 kW.The model is often purchased for heating water for bars, restaurants and other large establishments.

Those who chose a turbocharged column for their home are almost always satisfied with this technique. The main advantage of the device is the absence of a chimney and any problems associated with the removal of gas combustion products. Of the shortcomings, users note quite noisy work, as well as the need to connect such equipment to the network.
