Ignition type

Neva water heaters have the following type of ignition:

1. Manual. To turn on the column, the user has to press the ignition button and bring fire to the igniter. Old models made in the last century are equipped with this method of ignition. This is an inconvenient, and most importantly, unsafe way to start. In addition, this is an uneconomical option: the wick burns constantly, wasting gas.
2. Piezo ignition. This method of ignition, for example, in modification 3208. Fire is activated by pressing a button. The first ignition of the wick is done manually - for this, two buttons are pressed at once: gas and piezo ignition.In the future, to start the device, you only need to open the tap - the igniter will set fire to the main burner and a hot stream will appear at the outlet. The disadvantage of this type of ignition is the constant burning of the igniter.
3. Electric ignition. Instead of a wick, a source of electricity is used, which is powered by batteries. This method saves gas. This type of ignition is for models 4511, 5011 and 5014.

Electric ignition is the most modern and convenient way to start. Automatic ignition can be volatile and non-volatile. The first option is bad because when the electricity is turned off, the device will not be able to start - the user, along with the power outage, will lose hot water. The most reliable and convenient way is to be powered by batteries, the main thing is to have spare ones on hand.

Model "Neva Transit"

Geyser Neva Lux 5514

Semyon We bought this column so that it could provide solid performance. With a power of 28 kW, this unit produces up to 14 l / h, and this is quite enough for taking a shower and washing dishes at the same time. Despite the fact that the gas water heater Lux 5514 is a domestic device, it works as a solid five. The model is reliable, it heats water very quickly, it has an extremely clear control - in fact, there is only one knob for adjusting the temperature. Somewhere I came across reviews that this column has a bad heat exchanger, but in fact it has served for 6 years and does not seem to be going to break.

Advantages:

• Amazing reliability for a domestic water heater;
• Affordable cost, analogues from foreign manufacturers are more expensive;
• Electronic ignition, starts automatically, one has only to open the tap. The absence of an igniter allows you to save on gas.

Flaws:

• It seems to me that it is a little noisy, analogues are quieter;
• There is no automatic maintenance of the water temperature, therefore, when the pressure changes or the second tap is opened, the temperature changes slightly;
• You need to change batteries often, but she does not want to work on cheap batteries;
• Sometimes it goes out due to inexplicable reasons. Thank God this rarely happens.

Solution for the corner kitchen

Small kitchens, in which the furniture is located in a remote corner of the room, also have several design solutions for installing a geyser.

As in the case of Khrushchev, this can be a locker, which, although it steals space for storing items, can hide the column and communications connected to it.

Another interesting option involves a well-chosen color scheme of the headset and speakers.

It is also possible to additionally decorate the column with a variety of stickers or paint it in a suitable color. In this case, it can be installed anywhere, for example in the corner, outside the cabinets. The main thing is that this would not happen over a gas stove.

Geyser Neva Transit VPG-10E

Anatoly

A simple gas water heater, cheap, but not without flaws. For example, it regularly turns off, as it simply overheats. What kind of logic is this - to save gas and not swim for more than 20 minutes? I had to change the sensor, although after a while it “turned off”. If the pressure drops, you have to adjust the heating temperature, otherwise you can just get burned. It also seemed to me that she consumes batteries too quickly - the neighbors have the same column, so they change it about once every six months. Despite a bunch of shortcomings inherent in most inexpensive speakers, there were no serious breakdowns. Changed the rubber pads a couple of times as it started to drip, but the heat exchanger still feels fine, although the neighbors already had to change it.

Advantages:

• No frills in design, just a strict white case with two handles and an indicator;
• Lights up normally in the evening when the water pressure traditionally drops;
• Electric ignition, you can save on gas - whatever you say, but the piezoelectric gas fuse does not work so economically;
• Able to work on liquefied gas, you can install a column in the country.

Flaws:

• There is no temperature monitoring, with a sharp change in pressure, you can get burned;
• There are no major breakdowns, only minor ones, but it takes a long time to find out where the water is flowing from;
• Frequent spontaneous shutdowns for no apparent reason, replacing the sensor helped for a while.

Geyser Neva 4511

Ksenia We needed an inexpensive column from a well-known manufacturer, so my husband and I decided to opt for the Neva 4511 gas water heater. It works quite calmly with two taps, providing consumers with enough hot water. True, when the second tap is opened, the heating temperature changes slightly, but this is easily corrected with a mixer. Therefore, this behavior is not a disadvantage. On the front panel there is a small display that shows the hot water temperature. Nearby are two knobs to regulate the temperature. Just above a small peephole to control the combustion of gas. But the design of the column is as if it was cut down with an ax from a single piece of iron - a mere rectangle. But it is quite reliable, although it is not without certain shortcomings.

Advantages:

• Heats water quickly, no need to wait for heating after turning on;
• Quite affordable price, analogues from imported brands are more expensive;
• For three years of work it has not leaked, which indicates the reliability of the assembly and the heat exchanger;
• Convenient adjustment of temperature and pressure.

Flaws:

• Sometimes the gas does not ignite immediately, but after a few seconds, which causes a strong bang;
• When overheated, it starts to make noise, like a roaring engine at high speeds. Noise appears already after +50 degrees;
• Very thin body. Not a very important drawback, but still somehow undignified. Although now all equipment is made in such cases, even washing machines.

How to repair a Neva lux column

To establish the reason for the failure, as well as an order for the repair of the Neva geyser, you can arrange by making a call to our operator. With a positive result, the master will contact you to pre-set the cost of repairs and the time of the visit.

Safety system

The basis of the safety of gas equipment is a well-thought-out system of protection against emergencies. The manufacturer has equipped all modifications of Neva gas water heaters with sensors that control the operation of the device and ensure its safe operation. The following elements provide protection:

• Sensors: flame; water pressure; temperature control.
• Safety valve.
• Thermal relay.

Sensors that control temperature differences are installed on improved versions of the Neva Lux 4513 and 4514 boilers.These elements allow you to change the water temperature if water points are connected or disconnected.

Typical malfunctions

Since gas water heating systems fail from time to time, it would not be superfluous to find out the most common breakdowns, their causes and methods of elimination. We will consider the two most typical malfunctions for the Neva Transit geyser.

Burner does not ignite

Almost every owner of the Transit model faces a similar problem. The reason may lie in a malfunction of the spark generation unit. Usually, replacing this block fixes the problem.

First you need to dismantle the front panel of the unit. After removing the casing, you will see the block we need, fixed with bolts. The wires should be disconnected from the contacts carefully by pulling them down. In the same way, they must be inserted back.

The column lights up once

Many attribute this problem to low water pressure. But, as a rule, the reason lies in the need to replace the membrane. The part itself costs around 100 rubles, so repairs will not become burdensome for the family budget.

We present the procedure in the form of an algorithm:

• Disconnect the block with the membrane;
• Turn off the electrics;
• Disconnect the pipes;
• Remove the block from the column;
• Open the block by unscrewing 4 screws;
• Replace membrane.

conclusions

So, we examined the features of the units of the Neva Transit model range. From the information provided, we can conclude that this technique is a budget engineering solution that everyone can afford.

We examined typical malfunctions for the Neva Transit geyser, and also described methods for solving the two most common problems.The information provided will help you choose the appropriate modification of the Transit series dispenser and learn the features of its operation and repair.

The combustion chamber

The Gazapparat plant produces water heaters with both types of fireboxes - closed and open. In the first case, forced traction is used, in the second, natural traction.

A coaxial chimney is connected to models with a closed chamber. Its design allows you to simultaneously remove gases and supply combustion air. Open chambers involve the absorption of air from the room. Such modifications need a traditional chimney.

Versions with open fireboxes are installed in rooms that meet safety requirements:

• area from 8 m²;
• effective ventilation system made of heat-resistant material.

Service

An important advantage of the Neva and Neva Lux devices is a replaceable heat exchanger. Having bought it for 3500-4000 rubles, you can extend the operation of the old device, and not buy a new one

The manufacturer equips new versions with copper heat exchangers that are resistant to corrosion, but scale and salt are still a problem.

In order for the device to work smoothly, it needs timely maintenance and troubleshooting:

• One common problem is a broken solenoid valve. When the user opens the tap, a click is heard - the automatic ignition is activated, but the gas does not go to the burner. The valve, fixed with screws, is easy to replace - it has a standard diameter.
• The outlet temperature should be limited. Strongly hot water contributes to the formation of scale and salts on the walls of the heating element.
• It is necessary to clean the burners and the heat exchanger in a timely manner, to clean the entire device from contamination.

Before operating the equipment, the user must read the instructions, which describe the device and the connection diagram.

Geyser Neva 4510

Worse than this column, probably, nothing has yet been invented. How could a model with such a flimsy heat exchanger be produced? How could one even guess to make this thermally loaded assembly from such a thin metal? A year has passed since the purchase, and leaks have already begun. It feels like an ordinary Chinese column in a Russian way - they didn’t even think of eliminating obvious shortcomings. It makes a lot of noise, dripping water, periodically turns off. Recently, it completely stopped turning on the first time, you have to turn off the water and turn it on again. Replacing the batteries did not help, cleaning everything that could be cleaned did not help either. I decided to completely change the heat exchanger, found out the price - I decided to add a little more money and buy a normal column. Why such insanely expensive parts?

Error E8 - no traction

The column turns off after 2..5 minutes of operation. Re-enabling becomes possible only after cooling - 2..3 minutes.

Reason #1. No draft in the chimney. Clean the chimney.

Reason number 2. Soot on the heat exchanger. Increased accumulation of soot on the heat exchanger, which prevents the passage of carbon monoxide into the chimney. The column needs to be serviced to correct the problem.

Reason number 3. Traction sensor defective. The thrust sensor works on a break. Over time, the sensor becomes very sensitive to vibrations and can turn off the column during heating. Therefore, with this error, the sensor will be checked for operability.

Design

Structurally, the columns "Neva" are:

Flowing.They are compact - small dimensions are achieved due to the absence of a storage tank. Such devices are suitable for small, well-ventilated rooms. The productivity of flow devices is low. If a flow column is bought to serve several water intake points, you will have to choose a version with high power.

Flow type devices are more often chosen by apartment owners.

Cumulative. They have impressive dimensions. Tank capacity - 50-500 liters. It contains hot water. Effective thermal insulation prevents its cooling. To use hot water, you do not need to start the device every time. Storage columns are equipped with efficient heat exchangers.

The disadvantage of such water heaters can be considered dimensions - due to their large dimensions, they have to be installed in special rooms, in basements or attics. Such devices are usually purchased for private homes. If the consumer opts for the Neva 4511 storage type version, the weight of the water tank should be taken into account - a concrete base will have to be prepared.

Neva Transit VPG-E

The Neva Transit E column is the basic unit in the manufacturer's line. This category is represented by three variations, which differ from each other in terms of water consumption and rated power. It is 6, 10 and 12 liters per minute, respectively, for models 6E, 10E and 12E. At the same time, the power of the units is 12, 21 and 24 kW, respectively.

Transit E is a flow-type unit, which is excellent for domestic supply of hot coolant. The model gained particular popularity among the owners of country houses. This is due to the fact that it is able to function on the main and bottled gas.This makes it a rational purchase for homeowners who do not have a central gas supply system.

Gas water heaters Neva Transit modification E will please with the following advantages:

• Reliability;
• Undemanding maintenance;
• Convenient management.

The equipment is perfectly adapted to Russian conditions. It is able to function at a coolant pressure in the system at a level of 0.02 bar. If your house has unstable pressure in the water supply system, the Transit E series will become a budget unit capable of producing hot coolant when other columns would simply stop working.

Geyser Neva 3208

Peter Quite a working column, but it consumes gas in huge quantities. As it turned out, with almost 24 kW of power, it should heat 11-12 l / min, but in fact it produces no more than 6 l / min. Temperature adjustment is carried out only by touch, as there is no indication. The heat exchanger is made of thin metal, it has already had to be repaired 5-6 times - water flows strongly. I don’t know how much longer I will last, but now I want to send this column to a landfill and purchase a boiler, with which there will be fewer problems. It is better to pay for electricity than to suffer with this column.

Advantages:

• Decent appearance, neat shape;
• It starts at just 0.15 atm, which is a worthy indicator.

Flaws:

• The heat exchanger is leaking, it is literally flowing from all the cracks;
• Extremely inconvenient design, difficult to repair. It also weighs almost 20 kg, which does not add convenience;
• Does not keep the temperature, you constantly have to add or subtract cold water;
• Uneconomical, I don’t know where I looked when buying this device.

Error E1 - no flame

Ignition clicks for about a minute burner does not ignite. The electronic control unit does not see the presence of a flame and the column goes into emergency mode.

Reason #1. The presence of air in communications. Long-term downtime of the column, or after its installation, the operation of the pilot burner will occur only after the removal of air. It is necessary to purge the system by constantly turning on the column. Since ignition lasts no more than a minute, after completion you should reopen the water tap until ignition occurs.

Reason number 2. Lack of gas in the cylinders or the tap on the downstream to the dispenser is closed. Fully open the stopcock. Check LPG bottles. Replace if necessary.

Reason number 3. There is no contact between the unit and the flame sensor. It is necessary to carry out maintenance of the contacts coming out of the electronic unit, if necessary, clean, tighten for a good connection, replace the worn ones.

Reason number 4. Flame sensor outside the flame zone. Adjust the position of the flame sensor so that its electrode is in the gas combustion zone. Make sure that the electrode does not touch other metal components. Clean the electrode from carbon deposits.

Reason number 5. The gap between the spark plug and the igniter is broken. From constant heating and cooling, the nozzle of the pilot burner is deformed, which increases the gap to the spark plug. Once every two years, or during regulated maintenance, the gap should be adjusted to 4 ... 5 mm.
