Heating in the house boiler galant. Overview of Galan electric heating boilers. What determines the operation of the boiler

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.

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.

Installation scheme

The selection of the main source of heat to create autonomous heat supply is a very responsible and scrupulous process. In conditions where there is no gas pipeline near the house, one of the available options for energy supply can be considered an electric heat source. An excellent solution to this issue will be heating electrical equipment of a domestic manufacturer, in the form of Galant electronic boilers. Their work is based on the physical principle of coolant ionization with further heat release due to the movement of split coolant ions between the electrodes.

• High level of quality.
• Compact overall dimensions.
• Reliable performance.

Physics of the main heating process

Heating of the coolant in Galant electronic boilers is carried out not due to heating of the heating element itself, but due to the process of penetration of electric current through it. In this case, the direct main contact with the coolant is carried out by electrodes connected to the heating elements, which are under voltage.

The electrodes themselves, connected to an alternating voltage (50 Hertz), change poles 50 times per second. Due to the periodic change of poles, differently charged coolant ions begin to move in different directions. These fluctuations are accompanied by the release of a large amount of energy, which contributes to an increase in temperature without the participation of a heating element.

The ionization chamber, which is the main element of the Galant electronic boiler, where basic heating is carried out, is small. A sharp heating of the coolant causes a significant increase in its pressure up to 2 atmospheres, which allows the heater, in addition to the main heating, to perform the function of a pump.

The device of heating electric boilers

The main elements of Galant heating boilers are:

1. Heat exchanger.
2. Tank with heating elements.
3. Blocks of regulation and electronic control.

The principle of operation of individual heating systems with Galant boilers does not differ from traditional ones. Here, the water heated in the generator passes through the main piping. Entering conventional radiators, it gives off its heat as much as possible, as a result of which the air in the room is heated.

The coolants in such systems can be water or various antifreezes.

Installation in the kitchen

For the successful operation of boilers as a coolant for them, it is better to use a special liquid argus - galan.

Galant electric boilers provide not only space heating, but can also fully satisfy the needs for hot water supply.

Many Galant models are equipped with external storage boilers that heat water with a coolant from the main source.

Types of electronic heating boilers Galant

The existing market of Galant electric boilers for individual heating systems offers three types of their execution, which differ in their technical characteristics.

Hearth Series

A series of boilers Ochag is available in four versions:

1. Hearth-2.
2. Hearth-3.
3. Hearth-5.
4. Hearth-6.

Hearth Series

They have a low power from 2 to 6 kW, designed for heating small rooms with a volume of 80 to 250 cubic meters. These boilers weigh about a kilogram. In this case, the volume of coolant in the general heating system can be from 20 to 70 liters.

The overall dimensions of the series of boilers Galant Hearth in length are from 25 to 33.5 cm, in diameter 35 mm. Work from a normal network with a voltage of 220 watts.

Geyser Series

A series of boilers Galant Geyser is available in two modifications:

1. Geyser-6.
2. Geyser-9.

Conclusion

popular model

Modern boilers for heating systems from the manufacturing company Galant have recently become increasingly popular. Since this equipment has good technical and operational characteristics.

Boilers, equipped with overheating safety devices, programmers, storage tanks and pumps, are a ready-made autonomous boiler room. Galant boilers provide fast heating and have no problems in operation. Small dimensions allow you to install them both in small rooms and in summer cottages as a backup source of additional heating.

In connection with the unscrupulous work of the public utilities, more and more people are striving to organize an autonomous heating system in their homes. Those who have access only to electrical energy prefer the Galan electric boiler, which is easy to install and safe to use. The principle of operation of the device is based on the circulation of the coolant through the radiators.

1. Heating elements. The role of the heating element is played by copper or steel tubes that bring the coolant to the required temperature in the flow mode. Power lies in the range from 3 to 32 kW. The maximum area that can be heated with Galan heating boilers is 350 m2. Service life, as a rule, does not exceed 5 years. This is due to the deposition of scale and the burnout of the main functional units. Used in warehouse, industrial and residential premises.

2. Electrode are the most popular. Heating of the coolant is provided due to its own resistance, resulting from the movement of positive and negative ions between the anode and cathode. The efficiency is 98%, and the power ranges from 3 to 24 kW. According to the description, Galan electrode boilers are capable of heating an area of ​​up to 480 m2. The service life is at least 10 years. They are used for heating private houses, baths and public buildings.

Advantages and disadvantages of electric boilers

The main advantage of the units is their environmental safety - in the process of operation they do not emit smoke, the presence of which negatively affects the state of the environment. Due to their quiet operation and compactness, it is customary to install them inside the house. The absence of the need for constant maintenance of heating equipment allows you to save money. No need to deal with the purchase, delivery and storage of fuel. The only disadvantage of using it is the high cost of electricity.

* overall dimensions of these models are indicated in units of length*diameter. The technical characteristics of the electric boiler of the Galan Vulkan-25 series allow it to be used in public places without coordination with the boiler supervision authorities.

Feedback from Galan product owners

“This year we decided to stay at the dacha until late autumn. When the temperature dropped to 12 ° C, we thought about installing a heating apparatus. The choice fell on Galan Ochag 3. The installation was entrusted to professionals. Works flawlessly, heats the room quickly and evenly. The only drawback is that it can only function on water with the addition of an electrolyte.”

Mikhail, Volgograd.

“A 3 kW electric boiler was purchased as an addition to a gas boiler. The husband performed the connection independently, according to a parallel scheme. We have no complaints about the functioning: when the gas boiler goes out, the electric one completely replaces it. It works on any type of coolant. It should be noted that upon purchase, we were pleasantly surprised by the price of Galan with a power of 3 kW - 4,000 rubles.

Maria, Saratov.

“After the construction of the cottage, the question arose about the organization of heating. There was no access to the gas pipeline at that time, as a result of which it was necessary to heat the premises with an electric boiler. On the advice of a friend, I purchased the Galan Ochag-3 boiler, which is compact and economical. I was satisfied with his work: the house became much more comfortable. I used salted water as a heat carrier.

Sergey Grinev, Moscow.

Installation of an electric boiler

1. The device is grounded and its terminals are insulated. A 25 A current interrupter is installed. A coarse filter is connected, after which the system is thoroughly washed with an inhibitor.

2. Installation of the Galan heating unit is carried out in a vertical position, with the protective cap located at the bottom. It should be noted that it is forbidden to use cast-iron radiators together with the boiler, since during operation they will collapse under the influence of electrolysis.

3. Connection to the network is carried out using stranded untinned wires made of copper. Their cross section is selected based on the current load on the system. There are 2 main schemes for connecting electric boilers:

• The general is produced in the following order: thermal electric boiler, heating block with shut-off valve, temperature switch, expansion tank, drain valve, shut-off valve, circulation pump with filter.
• Parallel. In this case, the device will operate in conjunction with a gas heater. The connection is carried out in the following order: a solid fuel device, a radiator block with a shut-off valve, a temperature switch with a sensor, an expansion tank, drain and shut-off valves, filtering equipment, a circulation pump, an electrical unit Galan.

After installation, the entire system should be checked for leaks and the operability of the installed sensors (temperature, control, alarm, emergency) should be tested.

Private family enterprise "Galant" was founded in 1994. His goal was to bring to the market a new product in the field of heating - an electrode heating boiler. At that time, it was used in the navy on submarines. One craftsman tried to make a heating device out of military equipment for use in domestic conditions. Through numerous experiments, he invented an electrode heating device that can be used in everyday life. The first advertising of electrode boilers through television showed interest and demand in a new type of heating.

Today, PE "Galant" produces more than 20 000 models of heating products, which include:

• electric, electrode, heating elements and hot water boilers;
• electronic control systems for climate equipment;
• digital temperature controllers;
• heating systems;
• high-tech coolants (antifreezes).

• electrode;
• TENovye.

flow type does not require approval with boiler supervision authorities for installation. Heating occurs due to the impact on the coolant by electric current. As a result of the induction process, the temperature of the medium - the coolant - rises. The ions move from the positive to the negative electrodes, which change poles, which causes the ions to vibrate, and, accordingly, the production of energy. That. in electrode boilers, the liquid plays the role of a heater.

The liquid must have the required conductivity. For boilers Galan - 2950−3150 OMhsm at a temperature of 20 degrees. Resistance is measured with a conductometer. The electrode boiler is started on a non-freezing coolant Argus Galan, having the required conductivity. In the case of starting on distilled water, it is salted - on 100 liters of water 5 gr. salt.

For continuous and reliable operation of the boiler, the heating system must be open type, two-pipe (supply and return diameter 32–40 mm) with top filling, a supply riser at least 2 m high, the amount of coolant in the system up to 12 liters per 1 kW.

Electrode boilers must not be used for:

• heating of pools, heat-insulated floors, access roads, beds in greenhouses, roofs, steps;
• in heating systems made of galvanized pipes and in systems with cast-iron radiators;
• metal-plastic and polypropylene pipes are not recommended for use as a vertical riser above the boiler.

Heat the room from 80 to 800 sq. m. it is possible with electrode boilers GALAN - "Hearth", "Geyser", "Volcano" - with a power of 2 to 25 kW. The products are very compact and light in weight - from 1.5 to 5.7 kg. The service life of the product is at least 5 years.

TENovye heating boilers Galan. Heating elements are made of high-quality stainless steel. Heating elements Hearth, Geyser, Volcano can work with single-phase and three-phase networks. Boilers can be equipped with electronic or electromechanical control devices at the request of the customer. Installation of the product simplifies the supply wires connected to the outputs of the heaters in the terminal box and the connection of the ground wire. Electric boilers are ideal for heating apartment buildings, and also used in systems:

1. warm floors;
2. large displacement;
3. classical heating system;
4. heating of roofs and gutters;
5. for removal of ice and snow on driveways, steps, open areas, etc.;
6. together with a heater.

Heat up a room from 70 to 750 sq. m. it is possible with heating elements with a capacity of 3 to 30 kW. The weight of the product is 3.5-10 kg.

Electric boilers of the STELS series

They are used in residential buildings, cottages, garden houses, apartments in multi-storey buildings, baths, public buildings and in other cases where there is no or inefficient central heating. Use in three-phase networks and only in closed heating systems. They can be integrated into already installed heating systems.

Electric boiler in the form of a monoblock, where they are combined heaters and automation. This feature allows you to provide a set temperature for the supply and return pipes, as well as protection against overheating. Before turning on the boiler, be sure to check tightness of connections to the heating system - fill the system with coolant. Electric boilers can also be used as an additional source of heat.

Boiler features include:

• the presence of automation - a monoblock boiler;
• 3 power levels, can be selected manually or automatically;
• the ability to connect a circulation pump;
• convenient and simple control.

Power of STELS electric boilers - 9−27 kW. Product weight - up to 17 kg.

All electric boilers from GALAN prohibited use without automatic control devices or with automation not recommended by the company.

For heating a private house, gas or diesel boilers of sufficiently high power are often used. However, for most city apartments, their use is not very advisable, and the installation of such a boiler in an apartment requires special permits or a separate room. At the same time, the Galan system takes up little space, does not require any energy other than electricity, and is ideal for heating small spaces.

Equipment Features

The main feature of Galan heating boilers is the principle of their operation. After all, the heating of the coolant, for example, in electrode devices occurs due to its ionization. In this case, the equipment acts simultaneously as a water heater, a circulation pump and a heating device.

Other units of this brand, such as electric or heating elements, work in the same way as electric boilers of other brands, but in comparison with them they have a lower cost.

The line of capacities of the Galan units is represented by equipment with a capacity of 2 to 50 kW, which allows it to be used for heating 20-500 sq. m area.

The use of any Galan boiler does not require a permit from government authorities. And the Galan electric boiler weighs quite a bit and takes up very little space. It does not need a separate room - just hang the device in the kitchen or in the bathroom, after which you can ignore it.

Optional equipment

In addition to the Galan boiler itself, for more convenient control, its owner will need some additional equipment. For example, a Galan navigator-type control unit, which allows you to quite simply adjust the parameters of the coolant. Or a device such as a remote control, to which signals can be sent using a mobile phone from anywhere in the country.

The Galan heating system, as well as its accessories, will allow you to minimize your costs and time for servicing equipment that provides heat in your home.

Purchase of boilers

The Galan electric boiler of any series can be purchased from the TeplovodService company, which is the official supplier of the brand. This serves as a guarantee of quality service, optimal prices and a long warranty.
