Automation for a gas boiler of the Arbat-1 model is a fairly simple device that provides the basic functions of regulation and safety of heating systems. It is its technical specifications, possible examples of application and setting procedure that will be further considered in detail. Also, price offers of this component will be indicated and recommendations regarding the place of its acquisition will be given. In addition to this, reviews of owners of heating and heating units based on such an automation system will be given.
Design
This system consists of a one-piece unit equipped with two fittings and a separate remote thermal converter. At the input and output of the main module there are connecting threads G1 / 2. Also on the whole block are the corresponding knobs for adjusting the required parameters and the start button.
Possible use cases
Such automation for a gas boiler is common enough. She aims to work in conjunction with an injection burner. Also, its advantages include reliability and ease of use. In addition to this, she has a very, very democratic value. A similar system finds application both in the composition of heating systems and in double-circuit units, which can not only heat the coolant, but also provide hot water.
Also, the automation device of the gas boiler of this model allows its use in gas boilers. Another possible option for using Arbat-1 is gas water heaters.
Technological features
It should also be noted that all previously considered units should be household, not industrial. They should also be based on an injection burner. The principle of operation of the latter is based on the fact that in the process of burning fuel, the required volume of air mass is “sucked in” naturally due to a special design. Again, the lack of a forced ventilation component leads to the fact that the gas-air ratio is not always strictly implemented. Therefore, in one case, an excess of fuel is obtained, and it does not completely burn out. In the second case, more air is already being produced, and already natural gas is not completely burned.
Automation system equipment
Gas heating boilers are quite serious household equipment. They must be equipped with a system of automation regulation and safety. In turn, the configuration of the considered block “Arbat-1” has the following form:
- The main module with a separate thermocouple.
- Special thermal breaker.
- Passport for the supplied automatic system.
- Packaging.
- Copy of operation manual.
The main contours. Specifications
Automation of a gas boiler "Arbat-1" includes the following main circuits.
Monitoring the flame of the pilot and main burner. In its absence, the gas supply is suspended.
Change in gas supply depending on the degree of heating of the coolant. In this case, the desired temperature value is set manually. The regulatory process itself is “on-off”. That is, when the maximum set temperature is reached, the gas supply stops. When the water cools to the lowest permissible value, the heating system starts automatically.
That is, this automation for a gas boiler essentially provides control of two main parameters: the temperature of the coolant and the presence of a flame. Technical characteristics of this system are as follows:
- The gas pressure should be in the range from 1300 to 2000 Pa.
- Connecting size G1 / 2.
- The limits of regulation of water temperature are 40 ... 90 0 .
- Accuracy - ± 5 0 .
Setting procedure
Gas heating boilers in conjunction with this automation system are launched as follows:
- Traction is checked.
- Then set the temperature control knob to the “0” position.
- We open the shutoff valves and supply natural gas.
- By pressing the start button for 30 seconds, ignite the igniter.
- After that, the main burner will automatically ignite.
- On the thermostat we set the required temperature value, and after that the system is in operation.
Cost
Currently, this model of an automation system for gas heating boilers in the performance of "Arbat-1" costs about 2500-2700 rubles. Possible places for its acquisition are online stores, market stalls, construction supermarkets and specialized outlets. As experience shows, it is most optimal to acquire such equipment in the last place. Still, this equipment is specialized in nature, and it is best to buy it from professionals. In other cases, there may be problems when starting this equipment and its further operation.
Reviews
Automation for gas heating boilers "Arbat-1" has a number of significant advantages, to which the owners in their reviews include ease of use and configuration, low cost and reliability. But the main disadvantages of this unit include the fact that it is aimed at working in conjunction with injection burner devices. The latter today can no longer provide the required quality of burning natural gaseous fuels and have a low efficiency. Therefore, use such devices only when repairing old boiler units.
Conclusion
As part of this review, automation for a gas boiler of the Arbat-1 modification was considered. It is great for repairing and upgrading old models of heating systems. Its key advantages are simplicity and reliability, as well as low cost.
