Overview of storage boilers "Atlantic" with reviews

Boilers Atlantic with dry heating element

All heaters have their advantages, but Atlantic boilers with dry heat are becoming more in demand and more popular every day. Their distinguishing feature is that the heating, steatite element is located in a protective flask and does not come into contact with water. This makes it possible to extend the life of the boiler and reduce the amount of scale in the tank. To make using the boiler much more convenient, there is a temperature regulator and an indicator, which are located on the front panel of the boiler.

Heating elements provide a normal load on the electrical wiring, so there will never be problems and difficulties with it.The boiler device contains a magnesium anode, which qualitatively and reliably protects the tank from currents that can wander.

Polyurethane foam insulation allows you to keep the heat of the tank and water, so it will not need to be heated for a long time. Glass-ceramic enamel protects the internal coating of the tank from corrosion, so the boiler can last at least 8 years.

Atlantic boilers fit very well into any interior - in the bathroom, toilet, kitchen. When choosing water heating devices, it is necessary to take into account the necessary daily calculation of water, which will be needed for the whole family. By choosing the right tank size, you can save not only money when buying, but also the amount of electricity consumed. To use the boiler in the kitchen, you can choose a small model with a volume of 15-30 liters.

Boilers Atlantic differ in high quality, reliability. They will work for many years without any problems and breakdowns.

Pros and cons of water heaters with dry heating elements, lineup

Typically, manufacturers give a small warranty on their products (on average, about 3 years). Atlantic also gives a seven-year warranty, which is impressive. And all this thanks to the advantages of this device:

• steatite heating element in Atlantic water heaters has a significant heat transfer area, so the water heats up quite quickly;
• the heating element cools down very slowly, respectively, the water remains hot longer, and electricity is saved at the same time.
• TEN is not afraid of mineral deposits;
• The heating element is easy to replace, because for this you do not need to drain the water from the tank;
• maintenance of water heaters is carried out only 1 time in 2 years;
• long warranty on the device.

Among the shortcomings of the water heaters under consideration, only their price can be noted, but the efficiency of the devices, long service life, and the absence of the need for frequent maintenance make them a more profitable purchase compared to conventional boilers.

Dry heating element will last longer than "wet"

The manufacturer has launched several series of water heaters of this type on the market:

Steatite. This series presents stylish cylindrical boilers mounted vertically. The volume of water tanks is 50, 80, 100 liters.

• Steatite Slim. This category includes compact models that are ideal for small bathrooms.
• Steatite Cube. The category is represented by several types of models, some of which are mounted only vertically, while others are universal.

Water heater Atlantic

Combi Steatite ATL MIXTE. The newest category of all presented. This is a combined option that is used when installing a single-circuit heating boiler. By the way, the installation of these boilers does not require an installation permit.

Ease of use

Products are equipped with all sorts of additional features, which is why the pricing policy is determined. These features include the function of a thermostat, as well as an eco-heating option that saves a large amount of energy resources by constantly maintaining the same temperature in the boiler.

In addition to these functions, there is an addition, the purpose of which is to protect the device from functioning if there is no water in it. This function is equipped with the Elite and Comfort Pro models manufactured by Atlantic Niemen.

Among the variety of water heaters offered on the market, the boilers of the French company Atlantic stand out due to their reliability, extensive model range, long warranty service, ease of maintenance and low price. Atlantic — reliable water heaters with an optimal ratio of price and quality.

Principle of operation

The Atlantic water heater can be installed independently, since the manufacturer provides all the necessary instructions when purchasing the unit, but in order to maintain warranty obligations, it is recommended to entrust the installation work to a certified service department. After checking the quality of installation and filling the tank with water, voltage is applied to the boiler. When the voltage on the heating element is turned on, the process of heating the liquid to the temperature parameter set by the user will begin. After reaching the set value, the supply of electricity to the heating element will stop.

When the DHW tap on the mixer is opened, water will be drawn from the top of the storage tank, while tap water will flow through the inlet pipe to the lower sector of the tank. It will begin to cool the total T of water in the vessel, and therefore, according to the thermostat setting, voltage will be applied to the heating element.

Note! Boiler "Atlantic" has protection for the limiting temperature of hot water. A special relief valve keeps the vessel from rupture at high pressure and the return of heated water from the tank to the water supply

Device

The main elements of the boiler do not differ from the typical schemes of electric water heaters installed all over the world.

Structural diagram of Atlantic water heaters:

1. Working steel tank, covered with enamel interspersed with titanium, cobalt and quartz additives for anti-corrosion protection of the tank walls.
2. Polyurethane foam insulation - to reduce heat loss to the environment during heating and storage of hot water.
3. Copper or steatite heating elements for heating water.
4. Magnesium anode - provides the 3rd degree of anti-corrosion protection of the internal heating surfaces of the tank.
5. The safety valve of the water heater "Atlanta" - provides protection for the structure from the emergency pressure of the medium above 9 bar and prevents the return of water to the water main.
6. Thermostat - mechanical or electronic, to control the T of water. The basic factory mode is 65 C (+/- 5 C), a mode not higher than + 55 C is recommended to reduce heat losses and scale formation on heating surfaces.
7. Ohmic resistance system - for anti-corrosion protection of the container.
8. Thermometer, mechanical or electronic, installed on the working panel to control the temperature of water.

Ways to connect the boiler to the network

Brand boiler connection diagram

To connect an electric storage boiler in compliance with safety regulations from an outlet, you will need:

• three-core VVG cable with a cross section of 2.5 mm. kv;
• 16A socket with grounding contact;
• three-core PVS wire with a cross section of 2.5 mm. kv;

Before laying the cable, it is necessary to determine the location of the socket and the installation of the water heater, and only then proceed with the work.

In a pre-prepared strobe, you need to lay a three-core VVG cable to the junction box so that the end of the cable in it has a length reserve for reconnection.

To ensure protection against electric shock, the water heater must be connected through an RCD or DIF machine.

The cable in the shield is connected in the following sequence:

1. We connect the core with white insulation to the lower terminal of the differential circuit breaker marked 2.
2. A core of blue color - with the lower terminal of the DIF of the machine marked N.
3. Yellow-green core - with a free bus terminal with a grounding mark.

After completing the finishing work to hide the wiring, you can proceed with the installation of electrical fittings.

To do this, we clean the cable in the mounting box and connect the socket. We connect the wires with white and blue insulation to the outer terminals of the socket, and the yellow-green one to the central terminal with the ground marking.

If an extension wire is not supplied with the water heater, then you will also need to make it yourself.

To do this, measure the required length of the PVS wire and proceed to install the plug:

1. Unroll the fork.
2. We pass the wire through a special hole in the case.
3. We clean the end of the wire passed into the plug.
4. Connect wires.

Connecting the cable to the storage water heater

After fixing the equipment on the wall, remove the panel and pass the free end of the cable through a special hole. We clean it and connect it to the terminal block:

• White conductor - terminal L.
• Blue wire - terminal N.
• The yellow-green conductor is a bolted connection on the body of the water heater with a ground mark.

After connecting, we fix the cable and install the panel.

To connect the water heater directly, a cable must be laid. In a pre-prepared strobe, we lay a three-core VVG cable to the place where the installation of the boiler is planned. At the same time, we measure the length with a margin for the possibility of connecting the cable to the water heater terminals.

After the cable is laid and fixed, we connect it in the shield (the connection method is similar to the first option), fix the boiler on the wall and connect the cable to it in the same way as in the first case.

High-quality Atlantic water heater and its advantages

The French company Atlantic, which produces boilers for heating water, is quite popular among consumers. This is accompanied by the fact that this company has been on the market for quite a long time and has proven itself from the best side.

Atlantis heating devices are manufactured in cylindrical and square shapes. These devices are most often used in apartments and private houses.

Benefits of using Atlantic boilers:

• Quite affordable price;
• Fast water heating;
• Corrosion resistance;
• Profitability;
• A wide selection of models for every taste;
• Stylish design that can fit almost any room interior.

Before deciding to buy a water heater of any company, you should understand what they are and understand the nuances of their work.

The Atlantic water tank can be:

1. horizontal - in this case, the heating element of the device is located on the side, and the water inlet pipes are located very close, so the liquid is mixed in the structure itself, which can cause sharp temperature jumps at the outlet. But at the same time, such models are compact and can be placed under the ceiling, thereby not taking up much space.
2. vertical - costs less than horizontal. The heating element is located at the bottom of the unit, where the cold flow of liquid enters. As a result, the water heats up faster.

Atlantic heaters can have a dry heating element enclosed in a special flask or submersible.

In order not to make a mistake in choosing a unit, you should consider:

1. The need for a heated liquid, which directly depends on the number of its consumers.For example, the average amount of water for bathing one person in a shower is approximately 30-50 liters, and it takes about 20 liters to wash dishes and hands.
2. The power of the device and its compliance with the permissible load of the network. In order for the water to heat up as quickly as possible, models with a power of 2-2.5 kW are often taken. But if you have old wiring in your house, you should not accelerate much. It is better to take a unit of 1.2-1.5 kW, however, the heating time will increase.
3. The location of the device. If there is not enough free space in the room where the unit is planned to be installed, it is better to choose a horizontal model.
4. Water quality. If it is too hard, then the tank will have to be cleaned frequently due to scale appearing on its walls, which reduces the life of the device.

When choosing a water heater, special attention should be paid to the volume of the tank. A 50-liter tank is enough for one person or a couple who are at home mostly in the evening. Tanks of 80 liters are more voluminous and capacious

It is convenient to buy them for a family of 2-3 people who are often at home

Tanks of 80 liters are more voluminous and capacious. They are convenient to purchase for a family of 2-3 people, often at home.

A 100 liter boiler can be connected to various liquid supply points, while allowing them to be used simultaneously. This volume is enough for 3-4 people. The instructions will help you figure out how to connect the device.
