The main criteria for choosing a boiler. The principle of operation of the water heater
An electric storage water heater (boiler) is an equipment that, with the help of electricity, provides a room with hot water.
There are boilers with a volume of 10 liters of tank up to 200 liters.
Types of electric boilers Soda in Ukraine
Electric boilers are very popular in Ukraine.
And this is not surprising, because you can install and use such equipment in absolutely any room where there is electricity and water supply.
At the same time, the user is not threatened with seasonal or repair shutdowns of hot water supply.
Electric boilers can be divided according to the following criteria, which we will consider below.
Type of heating element in the boiler - can be dry heating element and wet.
A dry heating element, as a rule, has a longer service life and is more convenient to use, since it does not have direct contact with water (it is located in a special protective flask) and, if necessary, it can be easily replaced. To do this, you do not need to open the tank.
Wet heater - works on the principle of a boiler. Heats water directly. More susceptible to corrosion and scale from hard water.
But all Roda boilers are equipped with protection against scale and corrosion - a magnesium anode. And the Roda Palladium model is made with a dry heating element. For many users, these indicators help determine which water heater is better to buy .
Boiler mounting option.
Depending on the structure of the water heater, according to the method of installation, it is divided into:
- vertical;
- horizontal;
- universal.
According to the principle of operation and the quality of water heating, the installation method of the boiler does not affect. This is done to enable installation of such equipment in places with limited space.
Not everywhere you can install a boiler horizontal or vertical.
Boiler tank shape.
The Roda company offers two options for electric boilers to choose from:
- cylindrical shape (classic);
- thin cylindrical shape (slim);
- rectangular boiler (flat).
As well as the type of installation, a variety of shape of electric water heaters was invented in order to simplify the choice of installation location and make the use of equipment more comfortable.
For example, a rectangular boiler, this is the RODA Aqua INOX model, can be easily hidden in a cabinet and does not take up much space in the bathroom.
The slim version of the cylindrical boiler can be installed in a space that is limited in size, without losing any tank volume.
The material from which the boiler tank is made.
Roda electric water heaters are made from different materials, depending on the model.
The Aqua Inox model mentioned above is made of stainless steel. Due to this, they are light in weight.
Other models of boilers Roda: Palladium and Aqua White are made of steel, which in turn is covered with zirconium enamel.
This enamel is very resistant to various influences and prolongs the service life of the equipment. The weight of such boilers is much higher than that of stainless steel water heaters.
All options are as resistant to corrosion as possible and have a high level of build quality.
Roda electric boilers - the principle of operation of a storage water heater
The main components of an electric water heater are the control panel, thermostat, tank and heating element.
The user through the remote control sets the desired water temperature, the maximum it can be up to 90C. The thermostat, in turn, controls the temperature level and turns off the heater when it reaches the level that was specified. And when the water cools, it also automatically turns on the heating element.
The heating itself is quite elementary. TEN acts as a boiler, and the very principle of operation of the boiler is the same as that of an electric kettle.
