Overview of double-circuit gas boilers Ariston

What are they?

By installation method:

• Wall-mounted - it is compact, has a copper heat exchanger (less often - steel). It is completed with binding elements. Mounted on a flat wall. Mounted models are more sensitive to unstable parameters of gas and water supply.
• Floor devices are more powerful, heavier and larger. They need a fairly large area. Mount them on the floor - on a stand. Production material - cast iron. Power - up to 64,000 watts. Such heating capacity is enough to heat an area up to 500 sq. m.

By the number of circuits:

• Single-circuit - work only for space heating.
• Double-circuit - heat the house and heat water for domestic use.

By type of combustion chamber and thrust:

• Open firebox (natural draft) - combustion air comes from the room. Such a device is atmospheric.
• Closed chamber (forced draft) - the principle of operation is based on forced ventilation. This is the turbo version.

HBM series

The review of models should start with an unconventional solution - a configuration with a lower freezer compartment. One of the most successful solutions of this design is the Hotpoint Ariston HBM refrigerator, which, in turn, also has several modifications. The owner gets a base volume of 233L and usable freezer storage space of 85L. Among the accessories, a special stand for storing eggs and a container for meat products are offered. In the basic configuration, the refrigerator is equipped with three shelves and a compartment for greens.

It is important to note that the material for separating the sections is represented by high-strength glass, the transparency of which simplifies the handling of products.

Descriptions of the double-circuit boiler Ariston

One of the most important components in all gas boilers is the burner, in this case it can be modulating or conventional. The first option is more popular than the second. When using it, the entire system will be regulated automatically, without human intervention. In this case, the power of the installed heating equipment depends on the temperature indicators.

The burner is also divided into 2 types:

• open;
• closed.

The safest is a closed system, since it does not involve the ingress of combustion products into the room in case of emergency. Also in this case, the owner may not worry about building a chimney. It is necessary to bring a special coaxial pipe to the closed burner, it can always be brought out in any accessible place.

An open-type Ariston boiler, in any case, requires a chimney to bring combustion products outside. Also, do not forget about natural traction. Air will enter the system from the living quarters, so it will have to be constantly ventilated.

The coaxial pipe used in the closed combustion system has the advantage of being made of 2 layers. One is necessary for the removal of combustion products, and the other will ensure that fresh air enters the boiler. Thus, the owner of the equipment does not have to constantly ventilate the room and worry about natural draft. The room will always have enough oxygen.

What do Ariston products have in common?

Traditional gas heaters are available in nine lines - each of them contains a different number of modifications - from 2 to 7. The lines represent single-circuit and double-circuit versions. Some have a wide range of capacities, others consist of 2-3 options. All traditional Ariston models are distinguished by the following features:

• Automatic control. All modifications have the "auto" function - the intelligent unit itself selects the optimal modes, taking into account changing conditions.

• Can work with a conventional or coaxial chimney.

• Russified control panel. Its logic is intuitive - you don't even need instructions to figure it out.

• Burner material - stainless steel.Its power is modulated taking into account the given mode. This solution saves gas.

• Self-diagnosis.

• Hydraulic devices are made of high-strength composite materials.

• Expansion tank - 8 liters.

• Automatic removal of air from the heating system.

• Protective systems - from blocking, scale, freezing.

• The double-circuit device has a copper heat exchanger - primary, and stainless steel - secondary, for heating domestic water.

• In 2-circuit versions, a "summer" mode is provided - operation only on DHW.

• Condensate tank.

• Temperature sensors - 2-4 pieces, depending on the series.

• High-quality sound insulation. Virtually silent operation.

• Included - instruction manual. All documentation is presented in Russian.

• Warranty - 2 years. For condensing versions - 3 years.

• Average dimensions of 70x42x60 cm are slightly larger than those of competitors.

The models of each line have distinctive design and technical solutions. Also, models may differ in functionality, dimensions, design.

How does a geyser work

Such devices are intended to provide domestic and industrial facilities with hot water. The essence of their work is quite simple: cold water from the pipeline enters the column heat exchanger, where it is heated by burners (they are located under the heat exchanger). As you know, the fire needs oxygen, so that the burners do not die out, the column is connected to the ventilation system of the house / apartment. The exhaust gas is eliminated by a special chimney, which is combined exclusively with a gas column.

Read more about what to look for when choosing a water heater.

All described types of columns function somewhat differently.

So, if the device is turned on manually, that is, the gas has to be ignited with matches, the burner will ignite when you turn the fuel supply valve. Although it is worth noting that such designs have long been outdated. Modern designs are equipped with either electronic ignition or a piezoelectric element.

New models are activated with one touch of a button located on the front panel of the device. The piezo ignition creates a spark that ignites the igniter. In the future, everything happens automatically - the tap opens, the column lights up, hot water begins to flow.

If the geyser is ignited electronically, then it is perhaps the most reliable and durable device. The system is switched on by means of a pair of batteries, supplying the charge necessary for the formation of a spark. No buttons, no matches, the only thing you need to do to turn it on is turn on the faucet. In most cases, batteries last a very long time, since the energy to charge is minimal.

Instrument selection

When choosing a device, you must be guided by the following criteria:

The area of ​​the heated room in m2. It is necessary to choose a boiler based on 1 kW of heat output per 10 m2 of the room. At the same time, it is necessary to understand that this is an ideal option, and taking into account the heat loss of the dwelling, the average annual air temperatures at the installation site and the radiators used, it is required to introduce a correction factor.For a preliminary assessment, we advise you to use any online calculator that takes into account the above factors, and also introduces corrections for the location of the walls (windward or not), ceiling height, type of windows.

Need for hot water. For large consumption, it is reasonable to choose the CLAS B model with an integrated boiler, which is more economical.

Location of the boiler. For water-heating units with an open combustion chamber, it is necessary to equip the room with forced ventilation, since the combustion air comes directly from the room

Since devices with an open combustion chamber are designed to remove combustion products through a natural draft chimney, it is necessary to provide for the installation location of the chimney and chimneys. IMPORTANT! It is not allowed to pass chimneys through structures made of combustible material.

Gas boiler device

Where to start installation?

First of all, you need to prepare the documentation that is necessary for the installation. You should start by initializing the gasification of the premises. It can only be started if a gas pipeline is connected to it.

Then the owner submits an application to the relevant services, in which he indicates the volume of gas consumption he needs per month or year. In case of a satisfactory answer to the application, the gas pipeline suitable for the premises must be equipped with a meter.

Before proceeding with the installation of equipment, it is necessary to develop and approve the installation project. All points of which must be strictly followed

The owner receives permits and technical conditions on the basis of which a project for connecting equipment should be developed.

The latter includes a scheme for laying gas pipes from the heater to the tie-in point in the main and all the conditions for installing the equipment. The developed project must be approved by the gas service.

Along with the project, the owner of the premises where the boiler will be installed provides a certificate of conformity and a technical passport for the purchased equipment, an expert service opinion on its compliance with all safety requirements and instructions for use.

Only after the project is approved, you can proceed with the installation of the heater. In this case, all points of the design documentation should be clearly followed.

Wall-mounted boilers Ariston

As already noted, hinged-type models have gained great popularity among domestic users. Consider their characteristic features:

1. Compactness - if necessary, models that do not have a chimney can be placed in a wall cabinet in the kitchen, so you save space in the room.
2. Simple installation - in order to tie the wall-mounted boiler, you do not need to observe any special conditions during the connection process. The circulation pump is built into the unit body.
3. Functionality: A wall-mounted gas boiler Ariston with one circuit is installed in cases where there is no need to heat hot water. If, over time, such a need arises for you, you can install an indirect heating boiler and the problem will be solved. Malfunctions in the operation of a single-circuit boiler occur infrequently, due to the small number of important elements that account for the heat load. Mounted equipment with one circuit costs about three times cheaper than its counterpart with two circuits.The technical characteristics of the dual-circuit equipment are aimed at making the operation of the heater as convenient as possible. The boiler is equipped with a special control unit that controls, regulates and maintains the set temperature. Ariston wall-mounted double-circuit gas heating boilers can heat the coolant and water. Due to the special design of the heat exchanger, heating is carried out as soon as possible, while fuel is consumed to a minimum.

Known malfunctions of Ariston boilers

Even premium class boilers fail over time with spare parts. Let's talk about the most popular breakdowns.

+ Make-up tap

If the pressure in the boiler is constantly increasing, the cause may be a broken make-up tap. Unfortunately, it is unlikely to be repairable. I met cases when it simply broke in half and it was already impossible to pull it out. In order not to buy the entire return group, it is better to replace only the tap.

+ Three-way valve

When hot water is turned on in summer, the heating may start to heat up. Or increase the pressure to the limit. Most likely, here the reason is in the three-way valve. In some cases, it can be repaired. For example, if water flows from the valve, you need to pull out the stem, clean, lubricate and reinstall.

+ Servo

Sometimes problems with hot water are not due to the mechanical part. Here the reason may be in the servomotor of the three-way valve. Replacing the spring helps, but this method is not the most reliable. Eliminates the malfunction by 100% only by replacing the servo.

And now I would like to talk about the most common malfunctions in work, not always associated with a breakdown.

+ Does not heat hot water

When the boiler does not heat hot water, there may be several reasons. The most common is a clogged flow sensor. This is such a rotating magnet that determines whether water passes or not. It's easy enough to clean. The boiler can heat water, but very poorly. For example, if it makes noise when turned on, the secondary heat exchanger is to blame, which is clogged with scale. And clean it up too.

+ Pressure drops

If pressure drops in the boiler, the first thing to check is the heating for leaks. Although it can be in the boiler itself. To check, you need to remove the front cover and make a visual inspection.

Particular attention should be paid to the primary heat exchanger and the three-way valve. If there is no leakage, the expansion tank should be checked.

All possible causes of a drop in water pressure in domestic gas boilers

Most common error codes

For Ariston boilers, the display is quite informative, but still some errors should be analyzed in more detail. It is worth noting that sometimes there is no breakdown. It is enough to restart the boiler with the "reset" button.

+ Error 104 - heat exchanger overheating

This error appears when there is poor circulation in the system. Water simply does not have time to pass through the heat exchanger and the temperature rises rapidly. Most likely, he clogged with dirt and scale. Needs to be cleaned. Although the reason may be a breakdown of the circulation pump, sensors or electronic board. But this is the rarest case.

+ Error 108 - pressure drop below a critical level

The first thing that comes to mind is to feed the system. If the error appears constantly, the cause is a coolant leak. Although this is usually seen in puddles under the boiler, pipes or radiators. If there is no puddle, then air has escaped from the expansion tank. It should be pumped up. Although sometimes the membrane breaks, then you have to change the tank.

+ Error 501 - no flame on the burner

This error occurs after three unsuccessful ignition attempts. The boiler clicks, but does not turn on. To correct the error, you should inspect the ignition electrodes. In most cases, they are the ones to blame. It is not always necessary to change them, just clean them enough. But the electronic board can also break.

+ Error SP3 - flame separation

The reason may be a problem with the chimney, gas pipeline or electrical network. The first step is to check for gas. If everything is fine, the gas valve could break. Error sp3 also appears when the mains voltage is low. This is where a stabilizer comes in handy. Sometimes an error occurs if the ionization sensor is out of order. Or the reason is in the electronic board.

Choosing a gas appliance for heating

Ariston products can be found in the catalogs. There are many models of gas appliances. The main mistakes with the wrong choice of unit are made from a lack of information. Therefore, before visiting the store, you should familiarize yourself with the basic tips for choosing a wall-mounted gas appliance.

When choosing a boiler, consider the following points:

• The size of the kitchen, as the place where the heating device is most often installed. In the store, the choice begins with a consideration of the overall dimensions of the device and select it individually for your kitchen.
• Then they go to the technical data and study the type of water heater in the device.If there are a large number of people in the family, then it is not recommended to purchase a boiler with an instantaneous water heater.
• In this case, it is more rational to purchase a boiler with a storage tank for hot water and select equipment for the amount of water that you will need for everyday use.
• Evaluate the combustion chamber of gas equipment. It is closed and open. It is recommended to choose a boiler with a closed chamber, because it is safer to operate. The presence of a chimney is optional, which is important in multi-storey buildings. It is enough to buy and bring a coaxial pipe to the street.

Model range Ariston (Ariston)

The Italian brand in the domestic market is represented by a wide range of gas heating boilers, among which you can find units with one and two circuits, condensing appliances and boilers with a boiler. Combustion chambers in different Aristonkh models are also different: the assortment includes boilers with both an atmospheric chamber and a turbocharged system. At the moment, Ariston (Ariston) produces 7 modifications of double-circuit gas boilers of various price categories. But a boiler with one circuit and the ability to connect a boiler is presented in only one version.

The power of double-circuit units varies from 15 to 28 kW. The most demanded model in the Russian market is a double-circuit boiler with a capacity of 24 kW.

Advantages of Ariston gas boilers

Ariston produces units for almost all occasions. They are very easy to install, you just need to read the installation instructions. But their main advantage is low noise during operation. Many people do not like the excessive noise of gas boilers, but with Ariston products you should not be afraid of this.Gas boilers of this company operate almost silently, and will not interfere with your rest.

By purchasing such a unit, you get a device that will provide your home with heating and hot water, spending a minimum of fuel.

When properly handled, these gas boilers last longer than most counterparts. They are quite reliable, have a modern look and compact size.

A significant advantage for the domestic consumer is the unpretentiousness of Ariston gas boilers to:

• unstable voltage in the network;
• low gas pressure;
• decrease in water supply.

In regions where such problems are not uncommon, the units of this manufacturer will come in handy. When replacing the burner, the boilers of the presented model can easily operate on liquefied fuel.

…

The disadvantages of Ariston units include:

• high price;
• availability of components made in China.

General characteristics of boilers

Acquaintance with characteristics are necessary for the correct choice device models:

• Execution - floor or hinged. The hinged version has a more compact size, but also a lower generated thermal power. There are no differences in functionality in modern models.
• type of combustion chamber. An open chamber draws air from the room, and emits flue gases through the chimney. A closed chamber can take in air and exhaust gases through one coaxial pipe. For installation in an apartment, a closed combustion chamber is preferable.
• Thermal power of each circuit in kW. The area of ​​the heated room depends on the parameter. Approximate calculation of 1 kW per 10 m2 of the room.
• Efficiency factor (COP).Characterizes the efficiency of the device for the transfer of energy obtained by burning gas. The higher the efficiency, the less fuel is required to heat the water.
• The temperature of the heat carrier in °C and the range of its regulation. It is necessary to select a device that provides the desired temperature.
• Circuit capacity in liters per hour. When evaluating this parameter, it is necessary to take into account the average water consumption for hot water supply; it may be advisable to use a storage structure with an installed boiler.
• The presence of protection and comfortable control functions, a wide choice of operating modes.

Equipment

Gas boiler diagram

Ariston wall-mounted double-circuit gas boilers are available in three lines, where there are their own modifications.

Despite certain differences in design, all Ariston heating boilers combine two factors - excellent quality and affordable price.

Plus, all Ariston heating units have a rich package. Let's talk about it in more detail.

1. Wall models of Ariston boilers that run on natural gas have two circuits and double heat exchangers. The first is the main one and serves to operate the heating system. It is made from copper. The second is necessary for heating hot water, and is made of stainless steel.
2. The ariston gas boiler is equipped with a modulating gas burner. At the same time, the control over the operation of the burner is carried out due to the built-in electronic control system.
3. Almost all double-circuit wall models are equipped with the functionality of monitoring combustion products in the chimney. The name of the system is quite logical - Chimney sweep. The chimney sweep is responsible for the intensity of the burner.
4. Auto functionality. This system controls the indoor climate. The Ariston boiler receives the appropriate commands that come from temperature sensors located in the rooms. Based on the information received, the system automatically closes or opens the supply valve. This is how the gas pressure is regulated for the operation of the burner.
5. Comfort. This control system is responsible for the operation of the second circuit. The secondary circuit of the double-circuit gas boiler Ariston is responsible for heating hot water for hot water supply. Due to the Comfort functionality, the optimum water temperature is maintained according to the range specified by the user. So the consumer will be able to get hot water for their domestic needs as quickly as possible.
6. Antifreeze or frost control system. This functionality does not allow the coolant to freeze.The internal thermostat manufactured by Ariston automatically activates the heating of the coolant if the sensor shows that its temperature has dropped below 10 degrees Celsius.
