Overview of electric boilers ZOTA

Important features of the boiler

The GSM module can be built into all Zota models. It is not implied by the standard equipment of the boiler, therefore it will have to be purchased separately. Installation and launch of the module is also ordered. The remote control can be installed in any room.

According to the reviews of the owners, Zota electric boilers are characterized by the following features of use:

1. Calculation of the boiler by area. Often, electricity is overused just because the performance of the device was calculated incorrectly. The power calculation must be 10-15% more than the actual demand.Excessive supply causes the boiler to overheat, and the room often knocks out traffic jams.
2. Service-maintenance. You cannot connect the GSM module yourself. To connect to the mains, you will also need to call the master. The service worker will also install the air temperature sensor. Periodically, you will have to adjust the water sensor for hot water supply.

How does a coal boiler work?

What is a coal fired boiler? This is a simple installation that consists of two compartments. Coal is placed in the upper furnace. After it burns out, ash and slag remain, which fall into the lower compartment and are removed from there as needed. Between the chambers there is an ordinary grate made of durable cast iron.

Such furnaces can be additionally equipped with complex automation, which allows you to transfer the operation of the installation to an autonomous mode and control traction. If there is no automation, coal stoves operate using natural circulation. The first type of device has several operational advantages, but long-burning furnaces cost much more than simple devices.

Automation works extremely simply. Thanks to it and the operation of the fan, it is easy to control the flow of oxygen into the furnace. The more it is, the stronger the coal burns, and the faster the fuel burns out, giving off the maximum amount of heat. Restriction of oxygen access leads to the opposite effect. The fuel burns more slowly, the amount of heat given off decreases, but the burning time of coal increases.

The heating temperature is regulated by a special temperature sensor. Boiler operating modes can be programmed. If the set temperature is reached, the sensor activates and turns off the fan. At the same time, the oxygen supply is reduced, and the furnace burns out more slowly.When the temperature drops, the fan turns on and begins to intensively pump oxygen into the furnace. The coal is on fire again. If we take into account such features of the operation of a solid fuel boiler, it becomes clear when and how to put coal into the furnace.

The lineup

So, in the model line of Zota electric boilers there are five models:

Economy Model

This is the cheapest model, but in terms of operational and technical characteristics it is not inferior to any other model. This is a fully automated design with a remote control panel. Boilers can be installed in heating systems with natural and forced movement of the coolant.

A distinctive feature is that the boiler and the process control unit are located in different buildings. They are installed separately and connected by wires. It should be added that Zota boilers of an economy class with a power of 3-15 kW can operate both from power relay installations and from standard magnetic starters.

The automation of the heater makes it possible to regulate the temperature regime in the range from +40C to +90C. These are the optimal limits that allow you to adjust the mode to save fuel consumption

Note:

• Boilers Zota economy class with a capacity of 3-15 kW are manually adjusted.
• Units with a capacity of 18-45 kW are configured automatically.

All boilers of this model are equipped with a self-diagnosis system. This allows you to identify in advance the shortcomings of thermal processes and breakdowns of components and parts.

Lux

The Lux model is considered the most sought after and popular. It is designed for heating houses with an area of ​​30-1000 m². it is a fully automated electric unit, which is improved every year, acquiring new options and functions.

All boilers of this model are equipped with block heating elements made of stainless steel tubes. The most advanced automation has been installed, which allows you to save a lot on fuel consumption.

MK

These are mini boiler rooms, which include:

• An electric boiler with characteristics similar to the Zota Lux boiler.
• Power block.
• Control block.
• Expansion tank of membrane type.
• Circulation pump.
• Security block.
• Pipe junction with shut-off valves.

And all this in one building. What does it give in practice?

• Firstly, due to the compactness of the device for mini boilers, a large installation space is not required.
• Secondly, this equipment allows you to save on additional materials.
• Thirdly, it is ease of installation. Here it is only necessary to connect to the power supply network and connect the pipes to the circuits of the heating system of the house.

We add that MK Zota are produced with power from 3 kW to 36 kW. For small country houses - this is the best option for heating.

Joint operation of Zota electric boilers with different boilers: on gas and solid fuel

Due to the high cost of electricity, many homeowners purchase electric boilers as an auxiliary heating system. Usually all types of boilers are located in the same room, so when installing them, you should follow the rules for sharing different types of equipment. In particular, prior to installation, it is necessary to provide for the laying of all engineering systems in order to prevent overlapping of pipelines.

In addition, it is necessary to set the automatic switching on of the boiler in case the air temperature drops below the set one.

Note! This mode ensures the reliability and efficiency of the entire heat supply system, which is especially important in rooms where even a short-term drop in temperature is not allowed.

Popular models of Zota boilers

Electric boiler Zota Economy

The most popular model to this day remains the Zota 6 kW Economy electric boiler. This is a fairly simple model that is mounted on the wall, controlled using a remote control (purchased separately). The boiler can operate both from a single-phase and from a three-phase network. The difference between Zota 6 Economy is three-stage power control, electronic control and overheating protection. If desired, you can equip the heating system with underfloor heating. The power of the model is suitable for heating an area of ​​60 m².

No less popular boilers are Zota 7.5 Lux, Zota 9 Lux, Zota 12 Lux. The power of the models is indicated in the numerical indices of the listed boilers. All options are for heating only and are electronically controlled. Built-in programmers, self-diagnosis and security systems are available. Models can also be connected to underfloor heating systems and room thermostats. maybe GSM module control.

Modifications with a capacity of 7.5 and 9 kW can operate from single-phase networks, while the Zota 12 kW Lux electric boiler operates only from a three-phase network. The reason is the high power consumption.

It is impossible not to mention the Zota electric boiler, reviews of which are always only positive. More precisely, this is a mini-boiler room of the Zota 12 MK model. It is designed to heat houses and buildings up to 120 m².A small boiler room has programmers, a security group, a circulation pump and security systems. Operates from a three-phase power supply network. In more modern models (after 2012) it is possible to use GSM.

Installation rules

Like all types of electric boilers, the Zota brand is available in two variations: floor and wall, single-phase and three-phase. The rules for installing single-phase models are simple:

• It is necessary to carry out the installation of the unit itself.
• Connect it to your home's heating system.
• Plug it in.

The only thing that needs to be done is to run a separate power cable from the switchboard and install a separate machine. With three-phase analogues it is more difficult. If you are not an electrician, then it is best to entrust the installation to professionals. It is both reliable and safe.

Operation of the boiler is quite simple. The instructions have provisions with which you can easily adjust the device to the desired air temperature parameter. The device will do the rest.

A fairly wide range of Zota electric boilers allows you to choose the right model exactly for the requirements of the consumer. Additional options will help increase ease of use. Of course, they increase the cost of the product, but the quality of work only improves from this.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the options and choosing the ones suitable for the operating conditions.

The domestic company ZOTA is known not only in Russia, but also abroad. It specializes in the production of heating equipment and additional accessories. By installing a ZOTA electric boiler in their home or country house, people make their choice in favor of a high-quality and reliable product from a Russian brand. In this review, we will cover:

• About the main lines of electric boilers;
• About popular models;
• About connection and operation of ZOTA boilers.

In conclusion, you will get acquainted with user reviews.

Varieties of Zota boilers

Electric boilers Zota

The range of Zota boilers can be divided into several types. Each of them has its own features and characteristics.

Electrical

The Zota electric boiler is used for industrial and domestic purposes. At the moment, the company produces 5 models, the power of which is in the range from 3 to 400 kW.

• Zota Econom is an economical model, it can be used for heating a house or a cottage, power is from 3 to 48 kW.
• Zota Lux - connected to an autonomous heating system and can supply heat to a house or industrial premises, is able to heat water. Power - from 3 to 100 kW.
• Zota Zoom - organizes the heating system, automatically selects power to maintain a certain mode, power - from 6 to 48 kW.
• Zota MK - are mini boiler rooms for heating and water supply systems of any room, power - from 3 to 36 kW.
• Zota Prom - models are able to heat a room up to 4000 square meters, power - from 60 to 400 kW.

Solid fuel

Coal boiler - Stakhanov model

The company has launched the production of all types of solid fuel boilers, ranging from low-power models for heating country houses to automated boilers for providing heat and hot water to large country houses.

Model lines:

• Zota Сarbon - made of high quality steel, able to heat a small room.
• Zota Master - the case of these models is sheathed with basalt wool.
• Zota Topol-M - boilers with a gas-tight insulated body, it works both on coal and on wood, in the upper part there is a thermometer that measures the temperature of the liquid.
• Zota Mix - is able to provide the optimal working area of ​​the heat exchange process, the efficiency is increased.
• Zota Dymok-M - models have the same characteristics as the previous one.

Automatic coal

Models of this type of boilers have one line of Stakhanov. The power of these devices is in the range from 15 to 100 kW. All models are equipped with large water chambers, controlled by the Windows system. Designed for heating purposes.

Each of the models can work on reserve fuel, firewood. However, the main fuel of the boilers is fractionated coal.

semi-automatic

Combined boiler for wood and coal

This group is also represented by only one series - Magna. They are distinguished by a built-in long-burning combustion chamber. It is made of fire-resistant material and high-quality steel. The case is hermetic and differs in the increased durability.

These models work on coal and wood. The control system and control of the heating process are fully automated. Power - from 15 to 100 kW.

Pellet

This group is represented by a model range called Pellet. The devices operate on pellets made from peat, wood, agricultural waste. The advantage of these boilers lies in the functioning without human intervention. This electric boiler is usually used for home heating.

CONNECTING THE CONTROL UNIT OF THE ELECTRIC BOILER

We remove the insulation from the input power cable and proceed to the connection according to the following scheme:

We connect the WORKING ZERO (white-blue wire) to any of the two terminals marked "X2", they are connected by a jumper and there is no difference in which one to place the wire.

PROTECTIVE ZERO or GROUNDING (Yellow-green wire) must be clamped with a screw located to the right of the “X2” terminals, it is marked with a grounding sign.

To do this, I recommend stripping the ground wire and wrapping the copper wire into a ring, as shown in the image below:

Only then tighten this ring with a screw, thus obtaining a secure connection and reliable contact.

It remains to connect the phase wires to the terminals of the three-pole circuit breaker installed in the boiler.

The levers of this machine are independent, they are not united by a common jumper, which allows stepwise control of the power of the electric boiler.

It works as follows, each of the poles of the circuit breaker is connected to its own phase wire, which then goes to its own heating element.

The total power of the electric boiler is the sum of the powers of the heating elements in the heat exchanger, if we turn off one of them with an automatic switch, the boiler's performance drops by a third of the maximum.

The 12kW ZOTA electric boiler we have chosen has three stages, respectively, 4 kW each, the boiler can operate with a power of 4-8-12 kW, this is a very convenient way to adjust.

When connecting an electric boiler to a three-phase electrical network, the order of phase sequence is not important, so you can connect the phase conductors to the boiler automatic in any order. But I would advise you to follow the rule that the colors of the veins always follow in alphabetical order:

Now that the electricity has been supplied to the control unit, we connect it to the heating elements in the heat exchanger using the cable supplied.

I have already said that the direct heating of water in this model of the boiler is carried out in a separate unit, and now we will connect the electronic control unit to each other with a block of heating elements - a heat exchanger.

The BLUE core must be connected to the “X2” terminal in the electronic control unit, where we previously connected the neutral power wire.

The remaining three wires, two BLACK and one BROWN, are connected in turn to the contacts of the electromechanical relay, as shown in the image below:

The connection is made through the relay, and not directly through the terminals of the three-pole circuit breaker, in order to be able to automatically regulate the operation of the boiler. This is where the air and water temperature sensor, from the delivery set, comes into play.

On the control panel - the front side of the electronic control unit, there are regulators that set the air temperature - "AIR" and the water temperature - "WATER", when the set indicators are reached, the boiler will automatically turn off, such an operation algorithm is possible just thanks to the relay.

Sensors also need to be connected to the computer, for this there is a special terminal block marked "X1".

Using the connection diagram, we connect the wires from the sensors to this terminal block as follows.

Popular models of Zota boilers

Electric boiler Zota Economy

The most popular model to this day remains the Zota 6 kW Economy electric boiler. This is a fairly simple model that is mounted on the wall, controlled using a remote control (purchased separately).
