The boiler of the brand Baxi ECO Four 24 F is a fourth-generation equipment with compact dimensions, which is why it is so popular today among consumers who want to equip a hot water system in their private house and use hot water. For the reason that the unit is designed for installation on a wall, it does not take up much space, moreover, the space under it can also be used. The device has a closed combustion chamber and separate heat exchangers.
The unit is intended for heating rooms, the area of which can reach 240 m 2 . Among other things, this equipment can be used to provide housing with hot water supply at a temperature of 25 °, which will be supplied in a volume of 13.7 l / min. For ease of control, the boiler is equipped with a liquid crystal display, which displays data that allows you to control the operation parameters of the device. Among other things, with the help of this interactive you can get information about failures and errors that have occurred. According to users who have been using such devices for more than a year, this add-on can be called very convenient, since only a professional can cope with a troubleshooting screen without a display.
Specifications
The Baxi ECO Four 24 F has a minimum usable power of 9.3 kilowatts, while the maximum possible usable power is 24 kilowatts. The efficiency of the device is 91.2%. You may be interested in the maximum consumption of natural and liquefied gas. In the first case, this value is limited to 2.78 m 3 / h, while in the second it is 2.04 kg / h. The device has a 6 liter expansion tank , and the diameter of the chimney is 120 mm. The device works from a network voltage of 220 V, but the power consumption is 80 watts. The equipment works quite silently, the level of generated noise is 29 dB.
Features of heating and hot water
The Baxi ECO Four 24 F has two heat exchangers that are separate. One of them is made of copper, while the other is made of stainless steel. The system can maintain the highest possible pressure of 3 bar. The device is equipped with a Grundfos brand circulation pump , among other things, the user can use antifreeze during operation. The heated volume reaches 672 m 3 . In the heating system, the minimum and maximum temperatures can be maintained, this range varies from 35 to 85 °. Baxi ECO Four 24 F can heat hot water up to a maximum of 60 °, but the lowest temperature value of hot water is 35 °. At temperatures ranging from 25 to 35 °, the performance of the hot water supply system will remain unchanged, it was mentioned above and is 13.7 liters. It is noteworthy that this equipment can operate in summer mode.
Weight, dimensions and connection features
Before purchasing this model, you should inquire about what size it has. Thus, the height, width and depth of the device are 730 x 400 x 299 mm. The mass of the device is 29 kg. To connect the system, you must know about the diameters of the inlet and outlet of cold and hot water. They are limited to 0.5 inches, while the diameter is 15 mm. The flow direction of the heating circuit is connected using a 3/4 inch pipe, which is 20 mm in diameter. The reverse direction of the heating circuit is characterized by the same indicators as the gas supply.
Gas and hydraulic system specifications
Baxi ECO Four 24 F, the characteristics of which are presented in the article and will allow you to decide on the choice of a particular model, is distinguished by the features of the gas and hydraulic system. If we consider the first of them, it can be noted that flame modulation is present, stainless steel acts as the material of the divider. The gas system is adapted and capable of operating at a fuel pressure of 5 mbar or more. If there is a special kit, then the boiler can be converted to work on liquefied gas. As for the hydraulic system, it has heat exchangers, one of which is made of stainless steel and is intended for the hot water circuit. But the copper heat exchanger is used for the heating circuit. A three-way valve made of brass is installed inside. Among other things, a filter is installed at the outlet to the hot water circuit. The energy-efficient circulation pump runs at high speeds. If necessary, you can connect an external storage boiler, as well as a solar collector , to the hydraulic system . There is a bypass in the device, as well as a pressure gauge, which is the post-circulation of the pump.
Temperature Control Features
The wall-mounted boiler Baxi ECO Four 24 F allows you to control the temperature in two levels, in the heating system this limit can vary from 30 to 85 °, while for the underfloor heating mode the parameters vary from 30 to 45 °. Inside there is a weather-dependent built-in automation, in addition, the user has the opportunity to connect an outside temperature sensor. In the heating and hot water circuits, you can automatically control the temperature, as well as adjust it. Temperature control provides timely information on temperature in the hot water supply system and heating circuits. The consumer can connect a room thermostat and a programmable timer.
Control and safety features
Baxi ECO Four 24 F, reviews of which are only the most positive, has a self-diagnosis system, as well as ionization control of the flame. The equipment signals when it stops when it is connected to the dispatcher's console. You can use the anti-blocking function of the pumping equipment, and the switching period is 24 hours. The primary heat exchanger contains a safety thermostat, but the pressure switch in the heating system is necessary to signal if there is a lack of water pressure.
Model reviews
The gas boiler Baxi ECO Four 24 F has many positive features, with which most consumers agree. From their reviews you can find out that this equipment belongs to the middle price category. The pluses are the presence of two separate heat exchangers, as well as the fact that inside the structure is made of metal. It could be considered a minus if composites were used as the material. As practice shows, the equipment is characterized by not too high gas consumption, and now the model is fully adapted to Russian conditions. Some buyers claim that this version of the boiler has some disadvantages, which are expressed in the periodic shutdown of the model for no reason. Among other things, the display constantly displays information about the accident. Before purchasing, you should familiarize yourself with the instructions, as without special knowledge you will constantly have to restart the boiler when it is turned off.
Instructions for use
Baxi ECO Four 24 F, the instructions for use of which must be studied by you after the purchase of goods, is connected only after preparation for installation. To do this, check that the boiler is configured to work with a specific type of gas. Adequate draft must be provided in the chimney, there must be no restriction in it. If the chimney outlet was connected to an existing chimney, it should be checked that the chimney has been cleaned, because during the operation of the boiler, soot particles can disconnect from the chimney walls and block the exit of combustion products, creating a dangerous situation. The Baxi ECO Four 24 F boiler must always be operated with the correct water parameters. Its rigidity should not exceed a value of 20º F, otherwise you need to install a polyphosphate dispenser. As an alternative solution, water softening systems that comply with the standards are used.
