In our vast country, gas networks are not always available. For reasons of safety, affordability or environmental friendliness, people choose heating systems that run on electricity. Ease of maintenance and safe operation make the use of electric heating boilers more and more popular.
Preparatory phase when starting the boiler
For the correct and effective operation of the entire heating system, it is necessary to correctly wiring all its components. Depending on the chosen scheme - gravity or forced, heat transfer radiators, expansion barrels, pipes, pipes, pumps and other technologically necessary elements are installed.
When passing this stage of collecting heating, you should pay attention to connecting the boiler to the electrical network. Based on the maximum power consumption of electricity by these devices, a network connection is designed. The boiler connection must be carried out correctly in order to avoid accidents. Like any electrical appliances, an electric boiler should also be properly grounded.
IMPORTANT! Violation of the safety regulations for the use of such heating systems can lead to a disastrous outcome. Such work, in the absence of sufficient knowledge, should be entrusted to the masters having practice and experience in installing this equipment.
Coolant filling system
Heating fillers can have different characteristics. The simplest example of a coolant is water. It is considered the most economical option, while it has a remarkable heat transfer coefficient. A minus of water is the possibility of its freezing.
An excellent alternative to water, as a filler are liquids with a low crystallization and freezing point of the liquid. A simple example is automobile antifreeze, with a freezing point of minus 30 degrees Celsius. Below these temperatures, antifreeze is not recommended.
In the Far North, the role of the heat-exchange filler is played by oil from petroleum products, with thickening borders minus 55-60 degrees Celsius. Which liquid to use in the boiler is an individual choice. It should be poured through special technical openings of the heating system and maintain the required level during operation.
Air removal in the heating system
After filling the heating system with liquid, it is necessary to carefully check the presence of air jams, which subsequently interfere with the circulation of the liquid in all elements as a whole. Fill the system with coolant by first opening the Mayevsky tap, as well as the tap located at the highest point of the entire wiring. Having done all this, you can eliminate the appearance of air jams. Having visually inspected all the heating elements for leaks, it is recommended that the defects be fixed.
First start-up of an electric boiler
The boiler and the entire system are filled with liquid, all defects are checked and corrected. The electrician checked the connection to the network - now you can start the boiler for the first time. This business is responsible, but also pleasant, because having your own, autonomous heating system is not only convenient, but also advisable. Independence from central heating makes life comfortable.
REFERENCE! Having a boiler, you can set the desired room temperature with an accuracy of tenths of a degree.
Setting the heating system after starting the boiler
After completion of commissioning, minimal intervention by the owner is required. Initially, the temperature controller adjusts the optimal mode, in the future, depending on the circumstances, a temperature change is possible. The user is required to maintain fluid levels and control an uninterrupted supply of energy. Such devices have a rather impressive lifetime, with small investments.
