Against the background of foreign equipment presented on the market of utility systems, Russian products look rather unusual and even stand out. As a rule, it is distinguished by a more favorable price and traditional design performance. The disadvantages are often attributed to a low working resource and a noticeable lag from Western models in terms of functional support. Nevertheless, the KrasnoyarskEnergoKomplekt company is actively developing the Zota brand, under which heating boilers are produced with a decent supply of operational resource, backed by the introduction of innovative technologies.
General information about Zota boilers
At the moment, the company produces several lines of boiler equipment, the power of which varies from 3 to 400 kW. Accordingly, private homeowners and large organizations serving industrial facilities, apartment buildings and public buildings can be consumers of products. At the same time, the Zota boiler works with different types of fuel. The classic version is represented by solid fuel models, and more modern units operate on electricity. In addition, the manufacturer introduces the popular in Europe modification of the combined boiler, which is capable of working on biofuel in the form of pellets.
In addition to the main products, Krasnoyarsk engineers offer modern automatic control systems. Thanks to such devices, the Zota boiler provides not only the ease and simplicity of performance monitoring, but also allows you to save energy more economically.
Carbon Series Features
The traditional solid fuel design is represented by the Carbon family. The power potential of units of this type varies from 15 to 60 kW. Also, the equipment is supplied with tanks for water heating, the volume of which on average is 40-60 liters. As you can see, the solid fuel boiler Zota is mainly focused on operation in private homes. This is confirmed by the use of special materials in structures, which facilitates the maintenance of boilers and increases the level of operational safety. Wood-fired boiler equipment is known as the most “dirty” version of its class, but Zota developers have provided special technological solutions for convenient cleaning of the heat exchanger.
The design of the combustion chamber allows focusing fuel on a specific area, which makes it possible to regulate the duration of combustion - up to 12 hours. Also, in order to increase power, the Zota boiler can be additionally equipped with TEN units, the power potential of which varies from 3 to 9 kW. To such devices also offers a control panel with temperature controllers and controllers.
Lux Series Features
Electric boilers may well replace solid fuel units due to power superiority, as well as due to their small size. Such models are represented by the Lux line, which includes an extensive range of modifications. The initial level is represented by versions with a capacity of 5-10 kW. These are models that are connected to both a 220 V network and a 380 V outlet. Actually, they can be used in a private house, as modest dimensions also allow this. In the middle segment, Zota electric boilers are represented, the power potential reaches 100 kW. With the help of such an aggregate, it is quite possible to serve an area of 800-900 m 2 . That is, the Lux boiler is suitable for operation in public utilities, and even powerful devices will occupy a minimum of space. And this is not to mention a modest mass. If the younger versions have a mass of 15 kg, then the upper range of units weighs about 60-70 kg. Compared to solid fuel models, whose mass is about 200-300 kg, the advantage is noticeable. In practice, this means that the user does not have to strengthen the foundation and look for a special room for the boiler room.
Characteristics of the Stakhanov series
Especially for production facilities, the Stakhanov series was developed, which is a modification of a coal boiler, supplemented by an automatic control system. The power range is on average 30-100 kW. Moreover, the pressure in closed heating structures reaches 3 Atm. The creators also worked on the tasks of minimizing energy costs, providing special systems for optimal regulation of consumed resources. In addition, the heating boilers of the Stakhanov series are equipped with additional equipment provided by an uninterruptible power supply. That is, even in the event of an accident, the unit will not stop its work and continue heating.
Reviews about Zota boilers
Owners of equipment from the Krasnoyarsk manufacturer are both private individuals and utility utilities. Obviously, the needs and requirements for heating tasks are different in both cases. Despite this, consumers of both categories note the advantages of technology in the form of protective systems, automatic control, structural strength, stability of the work process, etc. There are also disadvantages that Zota boilers have. Reviews in this part emphasize a modest selection of modifications, in terms of technical and construction solutions. For example, European manufacturers are actively developing the concepts of long-burning systems and pyrolysis units, which is clearly not enough for domestic manufacturers.
Conclusion
Yet the main attraction for most fans of Zota products is price. Just for 40-50 thousand rubles. You can become the owner of a powerful solid-state unit with a full set of automatic regulators. The most expensive solutions are coal models. In particular, the most technologically advanced and efficient Zota boiler from the Stakhanov series is estimated at 440 thousand. For this money, the user receives not just a high power potential with an upgraded fuel intake chamber. Equipment is controlled through an LCD screen that displays a wide range of settings and operating indicators of the unit.
