Single-circuit boilers are very often used for heating private houses. In the event that a boiler is connected to such a boiler, in addition to the heating function, it can perform the function of heating and supplying hot water.
A structural element such as a boiler safety group is simply necessary to ensure proper control of the heating system. The group is designed to protect the boiler from airing and
overpressure. This system includes the following elements:
- air vent with shut-off valve ;
- pressure gauge for measuring pressure ;
- safety valve .
Also, the boiler safety group can be additionally equipped with various useful accessories. Such as, for example:
- flow limiters, stopcocks, etc .;
- thermometers for measuring temperature in the street and in the room;
- various elements necessary for connecting the boiler to the boiler, etc.
The main and additional elements, which may include the safety group of the boiler, provide a coolant discharge in case of a critical increase in pressure, remove gases from the system and perform many other important functions.
The importance of this system in the design of the boiler is difficult to overestimate. The safety of both the state of the boiler itself and its owner depends on it. Therefore, it should be characterized by maximum reliability and ease of use. Choose the best product of proven brands. For example, the German security group Watts fully meets all these requirements. It includes all the basic necessary elements and is most often mounted in an upright position. The installation of the safety group, in view of the special importance of this system in the design of the boiler, is best trusted by specialists.
During installation, it is necessary to take into account the fact that there should not be any valves and taps between the supply pipe and the group. In the event that the crane is shut off, there is a high probability of equipment breakdown due to increased pressure in the pipe. In addition, shut-off valves must not be used at this location.
If a water heater is connected to the boiler, its design is equipped with a system such as a boiler safety group. Usually it includes the following structural elements:
- safety valve;
- shut-off valve, which provides the ability to manually shut off the water supply to the boiler;
- check valve.
When building or acquiring a house for yourself and your family, the main thing that any modern person usually thinks about is their safety and reliability. Therefore, be very serious about choosing such important equipment as the boiler and boiler safety group. Domestic heating boilers are quite dangerous appliances, require proper operation with the maximum observance of all safety measures. In no case should you allow the replacement of elements of these systems with simulating them or exclude any sensors from the overall boiler circuit. Use the device correctly, and it will serve you faithfully for many years.
