Heat exchanger
According to reviews, the Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus column is distinguished from its competitors by high quality and reliable performance. When developing the model, innovative technologies were used. The heat exchanger deserves special attention. It is made using the latest technology.
When creating a heat exchanger, the company "Electrolux" does not use tin and lead. This increases the safety and durability of the equipment. Instead of such substances, copper is used. It is treated in a special way. This technique is called Oxygen Free. The heat exchanger is cast from oxygen-free copper.
The result is a material that is not afraid of temperature changes. Also, other negative environmental influences are not able to violate the integrity of the material. In most columns of other manufacturers, tin or its alloys are used as an anti-corrosion component. The structure of the crystal lattice can vary greatly with this material. With decreasing temperature, it becomes less dense. The atoms of this substance are further located from each other.
If for some reason there is no heating in the apartment or house in winter, the heat exchanger will become more exposed to adverse factors. For this reason, the life of the heat exchangers coated with tin or its alloys is shorter. Such negative phenomena cannot affect the durability of oxygen-free copper equipment . Therefore, according to reviews of the Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus column, this technique works with proper operation for much longer than analogs.
It should be noted that the heat exchanger is made of oxygen-free copper completely. In the models of competing companies, the base substance is protected by some layer of tin. The material of the heat exchanger is susceptible to corrosion. In order to save money and reduce the cost of production, such companies reduce the protective coating layer.
In the heat exchanger of the gas column Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus, there is no protective coating at all. The heat exchanger material does not oxidize at all. Therefore, the use of protective layers in this case is not required. To draw conclusions about whether to buy this model or products of competing companies, you need to consider a comparison of several popular models in this price category. This will make the right choice.
Comparison with competitors
According to reviews of the Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus water heater, which experts leave, this model is one of the best in the group. To make sure of this, you need to consider it in comparison with other popular flowing columns. Those in this group are Neva-4510 (Russia) and Bosch Therm 2000 (Portugal). Each of these columns has an electronic ignition in its system, with a capacity of 10 l / min. The combustion chamber in the presented models is open.
The Swedish and Russian models have a digital display. The German brand Bosch did not provide for this element in its column. However, an informational LCD display indicating the heating temperature, indicating the presence of a flame, water supply and battery charge is only available in the Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus column. This product is positively different from competitors.
The minimum pressure of water and gas in the system at which all three presented models work coincide. This equipment is capable of functioning with a water supply of 0.15 bar. The gas pressure is 13 mbar. At the same time, the nominal thermal power of all columns is different. The Russian Neva, this figure is 17 kW, while the Bosch - 17.4 kW. The Swedish model receives a rated power of 20 kW. According to this indicator, the presented model bypasses its competitors.
In the presented three columns there is a function of adjusting the gas power, a draft sensor is mounted. A safety thermostat and a flame ionization system are also provided. However, a fully copper heat exchanger is provided only in the model of the Swedish manufacturer. This instantaneous gas water heater Electrolux GWH 265 ERN NanoPlus also compares favorably with its competitors.
In a domestic-made column, the heat exchanger is made of copper, which was not processed using special oxygen-free technology. As a result, its material can quickly oxidize. It is coated with tin. It also does not significantly extend the life of the model. Therefore, the columns "Electrolux" and "Bosch" surpass the Russian Neva in durability.
If you combine all these characteristics together, it becomes clear that the products of the Swedish brand significantly surpass their competitors in terms of quality, durability and ease of use of the equipment.
It is also worth noting that the electrolux instantaneous water heat exchanger does not have dents, irregularities or bent edges, as is the case with many models of competing companies. On the copper surfaces of the designs of the Swedish brand there are no green stains. This material is not oxidized. On competitors' heat exchangers, such green spots indicate the beginning of surface destruction processes. The service life of such speakers is significantly reduced.
It is also worth noting that the distance between the shirt and the heat exchanger tubes from competitors can be quite large. This indicates a lower efficiency of the equipment than in the "Electrolux" model. The heat transfer of this water heater is much better than that of competitors.
