Galan boiler installation. Electric heating "galan". Description of Galan boiler models

Galan boilers can be connected to a closed two-pipe system. That is, a closed membrane expansion tank with a volume of 1/10 liters must be present in the heating system.

Important! Galan is mounted strictly vertically below the level of installation of heating devices.

Pipes of the heating system

Piping in the heating system for installing the Galan boiler is carried out with the following pipe diameters:

• Boiler block Ø32 mm;
• Heating riser Ø 32;
• Heating main Ø 25;
• Radiator outlets Ø 20.

When installing several boilers, the calculation is carried out individually.

At the inlet, 1.2 meters of piping are carried out, strictly, with a galvanized metal pipe, without reducing the diameter of the boiler nozzle at the outlet. This is recommended to increase the system's water ionization zone.

Radiators

Radiators are selected so that their total power is less than the power of the boiler itself.

Insertion into an existing system

If the boiler crashes into a working heating system, the boiler manufacturer recommends that it be flushed with the Protector inhibitor. This will remove the salt deposits accumulated in the system.

Note. Boilers Galan type BeeRT, operated only with distilled water of the desired density.

Electrician

• If the house has a low voltage of the electrical network (200V), it is necessary to use a current stabilizer of the required power.
• The terminal on the boiler marked as "0" is used for mandatory grounding of the boiler.

• Choose the installation location so that the climate control device works correctly;
• Displacement of the system is not more than 12 liters per 1 kW of power. The boiler manufacturer recommends no more than 8-10 liters per 1 kW of the boiler.
• Coppers Galan can be mounted in systems a heat-insulated floor.
• A circulation pump in a heating system with a Galan stake is welcome.
• A safety group at the top point, which includes a pressure gauge, a blast valve, a valve for venting air in heating systems with a Galan boiler, are required.
• The boiler manufacturer recommends using a Mirelon type heat insulator to cover the Galan body, the places where the sensors are attached, the entire piping of the boiler unit and the riser.

Which radiators are suitable for Galan

Any bimetallic heating radiators;

class="eliadunit">

Cast iron radiators from Czechoslovakia and Turkey (European standard);

Primary aluminum radiators. When using aluminum radiators, it is recommended to add the Flux additive to the coolant or use a sludge and air separator.

Note: The sludge + air separator will eliminate the underheating of the system, burning the radiator, burning the electrodes, reducing the boiler power.

Important installation points

When connecting the power cable to the boiler electrodes, it is important to prevent the electrodes from turning while tightening the nut. To do this, you need to use two keys. With one wrench, you need to tighten the nut, and with the second, hold the lock nut of the electrode.

If the boiler electrode rotates, the landing sleeve may burst, as a result, the boiler will become unusable. Such failure is not covered by the warranty.

Along with foreign equipment for the space heating system, domestic boilers for heating Galan have gained considerable popularity. They are in high demand not only in Russia, but also in the CIS countries, as they are distinguished by decent quality, reliable operation, compact dimensions and modern design.

About company

The products of CJSC "Galan" have a long history. Initially, the industrial enterprise had a purely military direction and was engaged in the development and production of electrode devices that were used to heat ships and submarines. Since 1992, the company has developed Galan electric boilers for space heating applications.

The first Galan electrode heating boilers left the assembly line in 1994. Over the entire period of work, the developers of the enterprise have more than once improved their own developments, and today their products boast a wide range of boilers operating in networks with one or three phases, and their power varies from 2 to 25 kW.

Equipment Features

The main difference between the products of CJSC "Galan" from similar devices, including according to customer reviews, is:

• high efficiency (up to 98%);
• light weight and compact dimensions;
• excellent quality inherent in the goods of the defense industry;
• possibility of installation on a new or old heating system;
• silent mode of operation;
• parallel connection scheme with other heat generators;
• ecological purity.

At this stage, the company owns factories in Moscow, Ryazan, Stavropol and Pskov. Official representations were opened on the territory of the Baltic countries and in Ukraine.

Products

The most popular samples of products that are produced at an industrial enterprise are:

• boilers (electric, electrode, heating elements, hot water);
• electronic devices for climate system control;
• temperature digital controllers;
• heating systems;
• high-quality coolant (antifreeze).

Device types

Next, we will talk about heat exchangers, which are supplied with the heating system of the room. Along with the rest of the company's products, Galan heating boilers are in great demand among Russian and foreign buyers, which are divided into:

1. Electrode.
2. TENovye.

Popular Models

The product range is represented by the following samples:

1. "Stealth".

Galan electrode flow boilers do not require an installation permit from the relevant government authorities.

In this case, the process of heating the coolant is due to the influence of an electric current on it.

Principle of operation

According to the rules of induction, the temperature indicators of the liquid medium increase. The ions travel from the positive electrodes to the negative ones, which in turn exchange poles, causing the ions to vibrate and, as a result, generate energy.

As it becomes clear, the role of the heater with which the Galan heating boilers interact is performed by the liquid.

Advantages

The main advantage of such units is their efficiency, which exceeds that of heating elements by 40%. This became possible because it was possible to reduce the heat loss during the heating of the intermediate material.

Requirements

The coolant used must have an appropriate specific conductivity (in this case, 2950 - 3150 Ωxcm at a temperature of 20 ° C). It is recommended to start the boiler on a special non-freezing liquid Argus-Galan. If it is decided to use distilled water, it must be added with salt at the rate of 5 g of salt per 100 liters of liquid.

In order for Galan high-quality electrode boilers to serve for a long time and efficiently, the heating system must be closed, two-pipe (diameter 32 - 40 mm) with an upper spill, open type, with a supply riser at least 2 m high and the amount of coolant at the rate of 12 liters per 1 kW . Such a scheme will enable the unit to fully perform its functions.

Scope of application

Electrode boilers are able to efficiently and efficiently heat rooms, the total area of ​​​​which varies from 80 to 800 m². The best for this purpose are the product series "Headh", "Geyser", "Volcano" with a working power of 2 to 25 kW.

These products are characterized by compact dimensions and low weight (from 1.5 to 5.7 kg). The average service life of such heat generators is at least 5 years.

Contraindications

This type of equipment is not suitable for connection to the heating system of underfloor heating, greenhouses, swimming pools, flights of stairs and roofs. It is not used in tandem with cast iron radiators and galvanized pipes. Above such a boiler, it is not recommended to mount pipes made of polypropylene or metal-plastic.

Overview of electrode boilers

In order to better understand the technical characteristics of the electrode units, consider their features for each individual model.

This series of products is represented by samples, the power of which is 2, 3, 5, 6 kW. Their dimensions are quite compact (height from 275 to 335 mm with a diameter of 35 mm). The maximum weight of the device does not exceed 1.1 kg.

Boilers "Ochag" are suitable for heating small rooms (up to 200 m³). Please note that the selection of Galan heat generators is carried out, starting not from the area, but from the volume of the building. For a system in which such a unit is integrated, 20 - 70 liters of coolant are needed. Electricity consumption is at the level of 0.5 - 1.5 kW / h.

A more powerful class of devices operating in a three-phase network. Their weight is much greater than that of the previous series (up to 5.3 kg), respectively, and the dimensions are larger (height 360 - 410 mm, diameter - 130 mm).

This line includes two models with a capacity of 9 and 15 kW, capable of heating 340 and 550 m³ of space. Here, from 50 to 200 liters of coolant will be required, and the electricity consumption will be 2.5 - 4 kW / h.

The most powerful representative of electrode boilers manufactured by Galan. This series includes two models (25 and 50 kW), which operate from a 380 V network. The dimensions of the "Volcano" are quite impressive in comparison with the two previous series (height 460 - 570 mm, diameter 130 - 180 mm, weight 5.7 - 11 .5 kg).

Such units are installed in large rooms (up to 1650 m³). For the correct operation of such a system, 150-300 liters of coolant and 6.6 kW / h of electricity are required.

Heating elements

The heating elements of this type of boilers are made of high quality stainless steel. They can be both several and one. The kit also includes electronic or electromechanical control (optional). The models of the units "Ochag", "Geyser", "Volcano" are suitable for working with a single-phase and three-phase network.

Installation of the product is greatly simplified by connecting the terminal box to the supply wires and connecting the ground. The weight of the product, depending on the model, ranges from 3 to 10 kg. By analogy with electrode devices, this type of heat generator is suitable exclusively for closed heating systems.

Enhanced version

Manufacturers have divided a more advanced version of heating elements for large houses and industrial premises into two series: Stealth and Galax. In both cases, the electrical heating appliance has the shape of a rectangular cabinet, which is suspended from the wall. The first (budget) version is limited only to the main elements (a tank with heating elements and an automatic control unit).

The luxury version ("Galax") is additionally equipped with a circulation pump, a coolant flow controller, a safety valve, a pressure gauge and an air bleeder. All this filling allows this unit to successfully compete with imported equipment.

Scope of application

Heating with Galan boilers of this type can be carried out in private and multi-apartment residential buildings. The units are suitable for connection to the "warm floor" system. They work great where a multi-displacement heating scheme is involved, and also interact well with the heater.

They are also used to heat roofs and downpipes, open areas and steps from which snow or ice must be removed.

And of course, such devices with a capacity of 3-30 kW will be indispensable in classic heating systems installed in rooms with a total area of ​​70-750 m².

Connection and operation

Galan heating boilers are connected according to one of four types, including:

1. Standard wiring diagram.
2. Modular connection.
3. Parallel connection diagram.
4. Installation of a boiler for floor heating.

The most common ways of tying the boiler are the first and third. To carry out the installation of the unit to a common heating system, it is necessary to determine the installation location (niche). Next, using a comb, you need to connect the pipes of the heat exchanger to the pipeline through which the coolant will circulate.

Modern equipment is equipped with systems for monitoring and discharging excess air, which will allow normal operation and eliminate the possibility of breakdowns.
Please note that Galan heating boilers are a type of equipment that needs electrical power, therefore, for its uninterrupted operation, it is advisable to connect a UPS (inverter).

Along with traditional boilers using solid fuel, gas or diesel, electric models are no less popular. In most cases, they are equipped with a heating element - a special heating element. To reduce costs, boilers for heating a private house Galan can be an alternative to such equipment: electronic, electrode, reviews about them will allow you to form an objective idea of ​​\u200b\u200befficiency.

About Galan

The organization began its activities in early 1994. On the basis of the defense enterprise, the first Galan heating boilers of the electrode type were developed. Compared to standard electric models, the company has achieved a significant reduction in energy consumption with a stable thermal output.

Having developed a competent marketing policy, we managed to establish a stable sales of products, which made it possible to work on expanding the range. Since the second half of the 90s, the heating system with a Galan boiler has been found not only in private houses, but also in industrial and commercial premises.

Currently, there are several areas of activity of the company:

• Electric boilers for home heating Galan with an electrode block for heating water. The consumer can choose the best option from three series - Hearth, Geyser or Volcano;
• Special fluid for heating Galan, designed for electrode models;
• Heating equipment with heating elements. Their advantages lie in the ability to install for open systems;
• Automation for heating.

With the development of each of the above areas, it was possible to achieve high quality products and adapt them to the Russian characteristics of operation.

Due to the increasing incidence of fakes, the manufacturer recommends purchasing boilers only from official representatives.

Galan electrode boilers: principle of operation

The greatest interest among the consumer is caused by Galan electronic heating boilers. Despite their small size, they generate a sufficient amount of thermal energy to heat the coolant.

The main feature of the design is the principle of its operation. No heating elements are used to raise the temperature - Galan electrode boilers operate on the principle of water ionization. The electrodes split the molecules into positive and negative. Each species moves towards the electrode with a reverse charge. The electronic unit changes poles with a frequency of 50 times / sec, resulting in ion oscillations. This causes an increase in temperature.

This principle of operation made it possible to minimize the size of the equipment. Positive feedback about Galan heating systems is associated with this factor. So, the smallest model, Ochag 2, with a rated power of 2 kW, has dimensions of only 35 mm in diameter and a length of 275 mm. And this is with a weight of 0.9 kg.

But you should not immediately plan the electric heating of a Galan private house. This system is characterized by a number of operational features that must be taken into account:

• Do not use distilled water. The ionization process will require the content of salts in the coolant. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends pouring ordinary drinking water (after salting, in the proportion of 1 tablespoon per 100 liters), or branded liquid for heating;
• Galan heating boilers do not include a pump and an expansion tank. For small highways up to 20 r.m. this is compensated by the pressure created in the ionization chamber. In the process of heating, this figure rises to 2 atm;
• A control unit for Galan heating boilers must be installed. It regulates the power of the device depending on the installed power. It provides the ability to connect to external temperature sensors, as well as a remote control system (SMS).

The main advantage is the choice of installation scheme. In heating systems with a Galan boiler, other heating devices may be present - solid fuel or gas-powered. If in the future it is planned to expand the living space, it is possible to install additional boilers in parallel to increase the total heating capacity.

The cross section of the electrical wiring must correspond to the rated power of the boiler. It is best to connect it on a separate line with the installation of an RCD.

Series of boilers Ochag

Models of this series are the most low-powered and can be used to organize electric heating of a small Galan private house or apartment. Often they are installed without circulation pumps - the pressure created in the ionization chamber is enough.

The rated power of the Ochag series models varies from 2 to 6 kW. It should be remembered that only the heating block is included in the package. Additional equipment (RCD, programmer) must be purchased.

For the correct operation of Galan electric boilers in home heating, you need to familiarize yourself with their characteristics:

• The volume of the heated house is from 80 to 200 m³;
• Power supply - network 220 V;
• The cross section of the copper conductor of the conductive line is 4 mm², except for the Ochag-6 model. For it, electrical wiring with a cross section of 6 mm² should be provided;
• The volume of the coolant directly depends on the power of Galan electronic heating boilers.

Before installation, it is imperative to make a ground loop. The absence of water in the area of ​​the electrodes is not allowed. Therefore, an automatic filling system should be provided. The installation of the electrode boiler can be done independently. It is enough to study the instructions from the manufacturer.

A series of boilers Geyser and Volcano

For more powerful systems, it is recommended to purchase boilers of the Geyser and Vulkan series. Structurally, they are no different from the Hearth, but are designed to heat a larger volume of coolant. Galan electric heating organized with their help can provide constant power from 9 to 50 kW. Since a standard power line cannot cope with such a volume, a 3-phase 380 V connection will be required. For this, a separate permit must be issued. This fact must be taken into account when choosing a heating scheme.

Technical characteristics of boilers for heating systems Galan of the Geyser and Volcano series:

• Residential volume of the building - from 340 to 1650 m³;
• Power supply - network 380 V;
• The cross section of the copper conductor of the conductive line is from 4 to 6 mm²;
• The recommended amount of coolant is indicated in the table.

Boilers of this series are used not only for autonomous heating of private houses, but also for industrial and commercial premises.

For the Geyser and Vulkan models, circulation pumps must be installed, since the heating chamber cannot provide the proper pressure indicator for the movement of fluid in the system.

Models of Galan boilers with heating elements

Along with electrode models, the Galan company has launched the production of boilers for heating with installed heating elements. They are designed to quickly heat the coolant, so they received the prefix "Turbo" to the standard name.

Unlike standard electrode boilers, Galan used AISI 316L stainless steel in these models. This made it possible to significantly increase the service life of the heating element and reduce the likelihood of scale formation. Tubular heaters are small, which affected the dimensions of the boilers. The models have a three-stage power control.

Unlike Galan electrode boilers, Ochag heating elements can be connected to a 220 and 380 V line. This is one of the heating unification factors. An additional heat source can be installed at any time, regardless of the characteristics of the electrical network.

Features of the heating system with a Galan Turbo series boiler are as follows:

• Reducing electricity consumption by up to 20% compared to similar models;
• Easy installation. It is only required to connect the pipes in the heating system and provide power;
• Maintainability. Even if the heating element fails, it can be replaced independently. You just need to remove the top cover and disconnect the lead wires.

One of the disadvantages of such models is the lack of a circulation pump and a safety group in the configuration. That is why the company has developed a new series of Galan electric boilers for home heating with additional elements.

It is best to purchase a boiler of greater power than the calculated one. So you can make the heating system with a margin and prevent the appearance of costs in advance when installing additional elements.

Galax series models

Boilers of the Galax series are designed to operate only from a 380 V network. They include sets of electromechanical and electronic automation. Their functions are to control the flow of the coolant, as well as stabilization when the pressure in the pipes is exceeded.

These Galan electric boilers for heating a private house are designed to increase the comfort of operation. Their features are as follows:

• High system efficiency - up to 98%. Achieved by installing economical heating elements;
• Built-in automation - thermostat "Stoker-103" and 203;
• The possibility of voice control is implemented after the installation of the Galan GSM unit;
• Additional thermal insulation of the body and heating block.

Models of this series have a wide power range - from 9 to 27 kW. Electronic boilers Stealth Galan are installed only for closed systems with forced circulation.

When choosing a heating boiler, you need to carefully study the requirements for organizing a boiler room. According to this parameter, Galan electrode installations will be optimal in the absence of a chimney or a separate room.

Prices and reviews for Galan boilers

In addition to reviews of Galan heating systems, their prices are no less important to the consumer. Analyzing the cost of individual models, we can conclude that in some cases they will be the best option for organizing heating.

Firm "Galan" began its existence in the 90s of the last century. The enterprise was created specifically for the production of electrode boilers. Today "Galan" produces electric boilers of two types: electrode and heating elements.

Electrode heating boilers "Galan": the principle of operation

Probably everyone knows what boilers on heating elements are, but few know the principle of operation of electrode boilers. In short: two electrodes are lowered into a coolant of a certain composition, on which an alternating voltage with a frequency of 50 Hz is applied.

Under the influence of an electric current, the coolant molecules are split into ions with different charges (therefore, such equipment is also called ion boilers), and begin to move towards one of the electrodes, depending on the polarity. When moving, a lot of heat is generated. Since the current is supplied to the electrodes with a frequency of 50 Hz, the polarity of the electrodes changes 50 times per second. Therefore, the ions move continuously, heating the coolant.

The volume of electrode boilers is small, the coolant heats up quickly and to high temperatures. This creates a sufficiently large pressure in the boiler. So, in principle, the system can work without a circulation pump: it is necessary until the coolant warms up, after which it can be turned off.

The lineup

There are three lines in the group of electrode boilers:

Outwardly, the boilers are very similar. The main difference is the size and power. In the line " hearth» The smallest boilers are produced (both in terms of size and power). The power of these heating units is from 2kW to 6kW. Weight - from 0.9 kg to 1.1 kg, dimensions - diameter 35 mm, length depending on the model:

• 275mm "Galan Hearth 3";
• 320mm "Galan Hearth 5";
• 335mm "Galan Hearth 6".

The next group of heating devices « Geyser» more powerful. There are only two boilers in this line: "Galan Geyser 9" for 9 kW, and "Galan Geyser 15" for 15 kW. Here the weight and dimensions are larger: 5.0 kg and 5.3 kg, and the length is 360 mm and 410 mm with a diameter of 130 mm.

The third line Volcano»Designed for fairly solid premises. There are only two boilers: "Galan Volcano 25 and 50" with a capacity of 25 kW and 50 kW, respectively. Weight: 5.7kg and 11.5kg; length 460mm and 570mm with a diameter of 180mm.

As you can see, even powerful Galan boilers are very small in size and weight. The price is also low (the most budget models cost about $60). But the equipment must work under the control of automation - this is the only way to achieve electricity savings - by optimizing the thermal regime. And the cost of automation must be added to the boiler. You will also need room sensors - to maintain a comfortable temperature and for the same savings, and this is also money. Not the biggest, but still.

Connecting electrode boilers

Each box with equipment contains detailed instructions for connecting and preparing the equipment for operation. The installation is not difficult, but there are a few things you need to know. In order for the circulation in the system to be sufficient, the boiler must be installed vertically. The wiring diagram is shown below.

Scheme of installation of the boiler "Galan" in a system with natural circulation. Nothing complicated, it is quite possible to do it yourself (click on the picture to enlarge)

You can use electrode boilers in systems with underfloor heating: both where it is only part of the system, and where Galan works only on a low-temperature circuit. There is, of course, a difference in the scheme, and it is visible in the photo below.

Wiring diagram for connecting the Galan boiler to a system with underfloor heating (click on the picture to enlarge)

In addition to these nuances, it is also worth considering a number of provisions that are necessary for efficient and economical heating:

In general, there are disputes about the efficiency of electrode boilers: it will not be possible to bypass the law of conservation of energy, and how much energy is consumed, so much is allocated (a little less, given the inevitable losses). But there are still savings when using electrode boilers. And it is formed due to direct heating: heat is directly transferred to the coolant, without being lost on heating a foreign body (heating element). Because of this principle, the inertia of the boiler is also less, that is, heating / stopping occurs almost instantly.

One of the features of electrode boilers is the exactingness to the coolant. As long as you can't use it. Can:

• drinking water corresponding to GOST;
• distilled water, to which add normal salt at the rate (5 g of salt per 100 liters);
• special coolant - not general purpose and not automotive.

Heat carriers suitable for use in electrode (ionic) boilers are provided by Galan itself. There are antifreezes "Flow" and "Argus". Argus has a freezing point of -40 ° C, has a quality certificate, it is safe for human health, inert in relation to the elements of the system.

Requirements for heating systems

For efficient operation, the heating system must meet the following requirements:

• Electrode boilers are installed only in a closed type with a membrane tank (the volume of the tank is calculated as 1x10).
• The boiler is located vertically, its upper edge is not higher than the level of the batteries.
• Strapping options:
  • riser and boiler block pipe diameter 32mm (1″/1/4);
  • highway - 25mm;
  • piping to radiators - 20mm.
• To increase the ionization, it is recommended to install a metal pipe (not galvanized) of the same diameter as the boiler outlet at the boiler inlet for the first 120 cm. It is also desirable to have this segment vertically.
• The total power of the radiators should be 5-7% less than the power of the boiler.
• Grounding required.
• Properly position climate control devices.
• A safety group is required at the top of the system (blast valve, pressure gauge and air release valve).
• Recommended radiators: bimetallic, euro-standard cast iron (produced in Turkey and the Czech Republic), aluminum (from primary aluminum). When using registers, it is imperative to observe the volume of the system, as well as the use of Mayevsky taps and radiator valves.

As you can see, the requirements for the installation of Galan electrode boilers are quite real, there is nothing outrageous, and most importantly, you can do everything yourself.

Electric boilers "Galan" on heating elements

In this group of heating equipment, two types of boilers are produced: TEN heating boilers "Standard" and "Lux".

Group "Standard"”has an unusual structure for electric boilers: it is a small cylinder, sealed on both sides, to which coolant supply and return pipes are welded. They differ in a very low price, high efficiency and decent economy, which requires automation. "Galan" recommends its automation "GAlan-Navigator".

Electric boilers "Galan" on heating elements have an unusual design

Boilers of this group operate in closed heating systems with natural or forced circulation. They are very small in size and have a fairly large set of capacities:

• Hearth Turbo. This line includes 7 modifications with a power step of 1.5 kW. Power from 3kW to 15kW, length from 350mm to 1050mm, weight from 2.5kg to 10kg.
• Geyser Turbo. There are only two models in this line: 12 kW and 15 kW, 500 mm long, 8 kg in weight.
• Volcano Turbo. There are three modifications with capacities of 18kW, 24kW and 30kW. The length of the boilers of this series is 490mm, the weight is 10kg.

The bodies of the boilers are made of stainless steel AISI 316L, which has an increased load capacity, long service life and can withstand temperatures up to 1300 ° C. The boilers produced today are equipped with new heaters and blocks of them, which have smaller dimensions and a longer service life. The boilers have three power levels, which allows you to save energy without sacrificing comfort. Also in the new boilers, the mass has become less, the inertia of the boilers has been reduced. All this allows you to save up to 20% of electricity compared to conventional boilers of the same capacity.

Characteristics of heating elements "Galan" (to increase the size, click on the picture)

Three-stage power gradation and more reliable elements do not create an excessive load on the network, therefore many boilers can be powered from a 220V network. All data on the electrical connection are given in the tables.

In the group of heating elements boilers " Suite» there are two lines. Their appearance is already more familiar: wall-mounted, painted steel casing, control panel on the boiler. Boilers are used only in closed-type heating systems with forced circulation. There is no water treatment for hot water supply, the control is automatic (built-in automation).

Line "Stealth". Boiler efficiency - 98%. Such indicators are achieved thanks to the use of heating elements of a new type. When using these boilers, you can achieve decent savings - up to 40-60%. This is facilitated by modern built-in automation, programmable thermostats, which allow, while maintaining a comfortable temperature, to minimize energy consumption. It is possible to connect a remote control that transmits signals via a cellular connection.

The heating boiler "Galan Stealth" has a more familiar design

This line includes six modifications of boilers with power from 9kW to 27kW. The technical data of the equipment are presented in the table.

Technical characteristics of the boilers "Galan Stealth" (click on the picture to enlarge)

Line "Galax". A three-stage power control system allows you to save energy and not create an excessive load on the network. This equipment is connected to a three-phase network 380V, has a protection class IP40.

Currently, there are a large number of manufacturers of heating equipment. Most boilers are installed by professionals, and many permits will need to be obtained before installation. But there are alternative solutions that somewhat simplify the whole procedure. Let's talk about electric heating. Let's take a look at helpful reviews. Boilers "Galan" - that's what we'll talk about in this article.

General information and description

Today the company produces two types of heating equipment: heating elements and electrode boilers. The latter are in high demand. This is due to the fact that it is not necessary to obtain the approval of the relevant authorities, and this, as practice shows, speeds up the installation process at times.

The heating process of such devices looks quite interesting. The principle is to ionize the coolant. It turns out that its ions are divided into positive and negative, respectively, they move to the positive and negative electrodes. The vibrations of the ions lead to the release of energy, and the coolant heats up.

The ionization chamber is relatively small, which has a positive effect on the heating rate. However, not always among consumers such a decision receives unambiguous reviews. Boilers "Galan" simply do not inspire confidence in someone. This is due to the fact that most buyers are disappointed in the domestic manufacturer. But if you take a closer look, you can see that this company has a fairly high rating. What speaks about the decent quality of products. Well, now let's go further and understand the main points.

Features of installation of electrical equipment brand "Galan"

It is noteworthy that you can perform the installation manually. This will not only save on installation, but also gain precious experience. As noted above, the installation is not that complicated, but requires basic knowledge of electricians.

We have already decided that it is not necessary to obtain permission, however, it will be necessary to make grounding in accordance with GOST. This is due to the fact that the Galan boiler, the connection diagram of which must necessarily include grounding, is powered by a 220/380 V network. For a person, a blow of such power will certainly become fatal. In addition to grounding, it is recommended to make zeroing.

The installation process itself is not much different from installing other heating equipment. It is worth noting that it is very difficult to install a thermostat on your own. Its calibration must be carried out by specialists. If you buy "Galan" (a heating boiler with a climate control sensor), it is better to entrust the installation to professionals. This is due to the fact that if the controller is not calibrated correctly, then the room will be either hot or cold.

We must not forget that the Galan boiler, the connection diagram of which is shown below (in the photo), runs exclusively on water or antifreeze. Due to the use of a different fluid, the equipment will quickly fail, and the case will not be covered by the warranty. Well, now let's look at a few more interesting points.

Consumer reviews

It is imperative to touch upon such an important point as the feedback from buyers of electronic boilers. For the most part, users are satisfied with them. Many write about real savings. In addition, on the network you can find a large number of positive reviews that relate to the service. In addition to fast delivery, the friendliness of the company's employees pleases. But this is where the fun begins. There are many reviews about real savings with Galan boilers of the Geyser, Ochag and other lines. Users manage to achieve a significant reduction in electricity costs. A device with a power of 15 kW is enough to heat a two-story house. Agree, this is the best solution, for example, for giving, where there is no way to bring the gas main.

And gas does not always look favorably against the background of the electrode equipment of the Galan company. The heating boiler has a high heating rate. Many also write that it always makes sense to connect an electrode boiler as a backup. If there are problems with gas, then it can become the main source of heat. However, there are other reviews as well.

Galan boilers are very sensitive to voltage fluctuations, so you will need a powerful rectifier or an additional generator, which will keep the boiler running in the event of a power outage. Many users pay attention to this moment, as it is quite important.

Electronic boiler "Galan": features

As has been repeatedly noted in this article, you do not need to obtain an installation permit, which is the main feature of the Galan equipment. It is worth paying your attention to the fact that a boiler of this type, whether it is a Volcano or a Hearth, is not only a kind of heater, but also a circulation pump. For the user, this is a significant cost savings. Electrode heating equipment is extremely accurate and operates automatically. The power consumption will depend on what temperature of the coolant you set. In addition, the equipment independently adjusts to the required mode of operation. For example, most boilers work around the clock, but they stand for about 14 hours. If in simple words, the device has a sensor that takes the air temperature and sends it to the control element. If it falls to a certain limit, the boiler starts up.

In addition, if desired, for an additional fee, you can get climate control. So you can adjust the room temperature according to the programmed cycle, which will contain weeks, days and even hours. If you need the electronic boiler "Galan" to work at reduced power in the evening, then this can be easily set to "smart" technology. All this makes the boilers from this manufacturer unique in its kind.

The smallest and the largest

"Ochag-03" is considered the smallest heating equipment from the manufacturer in question. Its weight may seem ridiculous to you - only five hundred grams. But despite this, the unit develops a power of 3 kW, and this is enough to heat seventy liters of coolant or a room of 25 square meters. Resistivity begins to grow with an increase in the temperature of the carrier, over time, the electrode boiler "Galan" "Ochag" develops its maximum power. For a month of continuous operation, this equipment consumes approximately 500 kW.

The company currently offers its customers two configurations: "Standard" and "Lux". The latter, in addition to the boiler itself and the control unit, includes a weekly adjustable climate control program.

As for the most powerful model of the Galan company, this is Vulkan-25. Such equipment is suitable not only for use in an apartment or house, but also for a small boiler room. Unlike the previous option, the nominal voltage is 380 V, so you will need a separate power supply. In fact, the electric heating boiler "Galan" "Volcano-25" can heat a room of 850 cubic meters at a monthly cost of 3,000 kW. The volume of coolant for such a boiler must be at least 150 liters and not more than 300 liters.

Advantages and disadvantages of boilers "Galan"

We emphasize that you need to buy heating equipment only after familiarizing yourself with the full list of the pros and cons of such devices. If we talk specifically about the products of the company "Galan", then first of all it is worth noting the significant savings in electricity. The fact is that the electrode equipment allows you to set the minimum temperature during the absence of people in the house. This approach solves two problems at once: firstly, electricity is saved, and secondly, a normal temperature is maintained in the dwelling. This can be achieved with the help of thermostats, which are located in each heated room. Periodically, sensors take readings and analyze the information. Another important point is that you do not need to install a chimney and harvest fuel, as is the case with coal. Among other things, the connection of the Galan boiler can be performed without the participation of specialists, and even dirt and dust do not accumulate in such a device.

As for the shortcomings, then, of course, they exist. The main disadvantage is that the equipment is extremely sensitive to voltage drops, in particular, to power surges, which can ruin both the protection and the equipment stuffing. This problem is solved by installing a stabilizer.

Another disadvantage is that some models require a high-quality coolant. It can be distilled water or antifreeze. And now let's take a closer look at how to properly install such boilers.

Installation in detail

To date, there are four types of connections that are actively used:

• parallel;
• standard;
• floor heating;
• modular.

The most popular are parallel and standard connections. Let's look at how to connect the boiler in this way.

First of all, you need to decide on a suitable place. Further, using a comb, we connect the main device, which is necessary for the distribution of water or antifreeze through the radiators. The latter have special taps with which you can adjust the amount of passing coolant.

Please note that the scheme of the Galan boiler of any model implies the installation of a system for bleeding excess air from the system. This will help keep the equipment in good condition and eliminate its premature failure. At the final stage, the boiler will be connected to the network.

Do you want to connect the boiler to an underfloor heating system? Do the following. Connect the air extraction devices to the underfloor heating. Install temperature and pressure sensors. Then install the controllers in the niche and connect the device to the network. Remember that installation is only necessary when you have experience in carrying out such work, in other cases it is better to involve specialists, since you are dealing with electricity. Failure to follow basic safety rules can lead to injury and even death due to electric shock.

A little about the price of equipment

As noted above, there are various Galan heating boilers. To date, the company sells units of the model series "Ochag", "Geyser" and "Volcano" with a capacity of 3, 5, 9, 15 and 25 kW.

Smaller models are suitable for rooms with a small area, and the most powerful boilers can heat huge spaces. The price of units fluctuates depending on their efficiency. Electrode models will cost at least three and a half thousand rubles, and a maximum of fifteen thousand. Keep in mind that there are different configurations. For example, in the basic one, only a boiler and automation are supplied, in a more expensive one, there is also climate control.

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that cases of fraud have become more frequent today. For this reason, it is worth checking the quality of the product most carefully. By the way, in addition to the ideal technical condition of the device, its passport must also be in perfect order. If the company has a license and positive reviews, which is important, then you can safely make a purchase. In conclusion, do not forget to clarify the features of the boiler return procedure if it turns out to be of poor quality or defective. And don't let the low price fool you. Purchase only original Galan heating systems. Feedback from the owners of such equipment will tell you where to look for a quality product.

Very important point

Despite the fact that the boiler itself is relatively small, it must be installed correctly. Prepare a niche in advance and provide free access to the network. Do not forget that the equipment is powered by a three-phase network. As noted above, antifreeze or drinking water can be used as a coolant. The specific resistance of the liquid should not be less than three and more than thirty-two thousand ohm / cm at a maximum temperature of 150 degrees. By the way, the media quality can be improved. Thus, you will extend the life of the boiler. To do this is quite simple. It is possible to install a filter for cleaning from mechanical impurities, which is desirable to be mounted on the pipeline. A significant amount of insoluble compounds will be retained, which will have a beneficial effect on the durability of the equipment.

The boilers "Galan" were considered in detail above. Hardware specifications vary by model. But speaking in general, such devices can heat a room ranging in size from 75 to 550 cubic meters. In this case, the power varies from 3 to 25 kW. But how much you save depends only on the insulation of the room. Some users talk about savings of 45% compared to gas equipment. This is more impressive than the numbers, but not everyone can achieve this. But everyone can reduce costs by 5-20%, the main thing is to correctly install and calibrate electronic equipment.

Conclusion

We have considered all the most common questions and will make a completely logical conclusion that with the proper quality of the electric main, such a boiler can be installed. Of course, such a solution will not work if you live in a place where there is a large load on the network or the voltage does not reach the prescribed 220 V. In this case, a stabilizer can help out. By the way, the best solution as an alternative heat source would be the Galan boiler Ochag-3. Reviews of the owners indicate that in difficult times it will be very helpful. Even a high-power heater will not replace a three-kilowatt "Ochag" for you.

This concludes the story about electrode boilers from this manufacturer. Equipment of such a plan is becoming more and more popular every year, especially for country houses and cottages where there are no gas mains. Moreover, it is possible to combine electrode boilers with each other and create a full-fledged boiler room.
