Features and varieties of gas boilers Zhukovsky

Most rural cottages and townhouses are heated with natural or liquefied gas. The system requires the installation of boiler equipment, especially if you need to equip the heating throughout the building. On sale you can find models that differ in design, power, performance, housing design and other characteristics. The Zhukovsky gas boiler is a popular domestic appliance, created taking into account climatic features in the Russian regions. It costs an order of magnitude cheaper than imported analogues and is not inferior to the latter in quality, meets the requirements of GOST.

Boiler device

Zhukovsky Engineering Plant has been manufacturing boiler equipment for private houses and summer cottages for over 50 years. The manufacturer’s assortment contains mainly floor-mounted devices, the structure of which includes the following components:

• Protective housing. It is made of durable steel, resistant to mechanical stress, protected from corrosion.
• Capacity where the heat carrier gets for the subsequent warming up.
• Gas-burners; there are only two of them - the main and the ignition one.
• Automation control unit.
• Door to service the device.
• Each boiler AOGV Zhukovsky is additionally equipped with a coil, which is responsible for heating the flowing fluid.
• Device for breaking traction.
• The richest models are equipped with a thermometer.

Depending on the type of design, the composition of the device also changes. The equipment line includes simple and inexpensive Zhukovsky boilers with a single-circuit system, as well as advanced models with piezo ignition and automatic components made in Germany or Italy, which are characterized by minimal fuel consumption.

Types of boilers

ZhMZ products vary in design - the plant produces models with one and two circuits. Their main difference lies in the scope.

Single-circuit

Devices with a single circuit can only heat the room, the devices do not have other functions. The manufacturer offers models that can effectively heat the air in homes with an area of ​​30-300 square meters, depending on power. In single-circuit ZhMZ boilers, a change in the operating temperature of the coolant is carried out by means of a gas burner. The output value of the liquid is 50-90 degrees Celsius, depending on the set parameters and the class of equipment. Single-circuit units are much cheaper, simplified installation and reduced weight.

Double-circuit

Models with two circuits are more in demand among owners of cottages and cottages who want to establish a heating system along with hot water supply. The Zhukovsky gas double-circuit floor boiler is equipped with a coil, which allows you to connect heating batteries to one circuit, and water supply equipment to the second. The coil heats the water to 60 degrees Celsius using the energy of the coolant. Water for supply to the AGV system is not mixed with the working fluid.

The installation of a dual-circuit unit allows you not to spend money on the purchase of a flow or storage water heater, reduces the cost of AGV.

Specifications

Despite the differences, most models of the Zhukovsky plant have similar properties. Basic parameters of equipment manufactured by ZHMZ:

• Efficiency - 80-86%.
• The fuel used is propane or natural gas to choose from.
• The minimum pressure is 635 MPa, the maximum is 3258 MPa.
• Thermal power (nominal parameter) - 11630 W.
• Productivity - 10 kW.
• The consumption of natural gas is 1.3 cubic meters per hour, liquefied - about 0.4-0.86 cubic meters, depending on version.
• Ignition speed - up to 60 seconds.
• Injection torch provides quick start and adjustment of work.
• The capacity of the tank is 30-33 liters, depending on the specific model.

Other specifications can be found in the instructions for the required model.

Advantages and disadvantages of equipment

Regardless of the configuration, the ZhMZ boiler has the following advantages:

• Extended range of models. This allows you to choose the best option for heating any object, taking into account the building area, layout, number of rooms, quality of insulation, climatic conditions and other factors. The range of devices includes both budget devices designed for seasonal use and heating of small one-story dachas, as well as high-performance units for brick cottages of 2-3 floors.
• Relatively simple operation: the manual for ZHMZ boilers contains detailed information on the preparation of equipment for connection, configuration, operation and safety rules.
• Most of the models are equipped with an imported automation unit with piezo ignition, so that there are no problems with starting the unit.
• Single-circuit devices allow the use of non-freezing fluid, which facilitates the operation of the boiler room in the winter season, especially in regions with severe winters.
• The design provides for the possibility of installing two types of nozzles, due to which the equipment is compatible with both natural and liquefied gas.
• Increased maintainability, most parts are available in stores.
• Long life: it exceeds 14 years.

The disadvantages of the equipment include a non-modern design, a reduced level of efficiency and a considerable cost. Some users have doubts about the Russian assembly of equipment, but reviews suggest that its quality meets expectations. The manufacturer offers three modifications of boiler units - “economy”, “station wagon” and “comfort”. The first two are easy to distinguish externally: the devices are equipped with a rectangular case, and the varieties of comfort are round.

Which is better - Borinsky or Zhukovsky

The equipment of the Borinsky plant appeared on the market in 2009, but the same organization was engaged in the gasification of Russian regions in 1992. Today, this manufacturer offers more than 30 models of different capacities, including with two circuits. The characteristics of the devices of the two brands are not much different, as well as the level of quality, therefore, in the absence of the opportunity to purchase the Zhukovsky boiler, you can order Borinsky, similar in capacity.

Installation Features

For the installation of ZhMZ equipment, a separate room is required, the dimensions of which depend on the power of the equipment and productivity. If you want to install a dual-circuit model, the circuit is as follows:

1. Radiators equipped with ventilation taps are connected to the boiler.
2. A pumping unit is installed in front of the boiler equipment, it is advisable to connect it to the return.
3. In the direction of the working fluid, a dirt collector is mounted in front of the pump, the use of this device is mandatory.
4. A storage tank is placed before the pump.

In the case of connecting a single-circuit model, the system closes only on the boiler, usually it requires less space. During installation, it is important to equip the boiler room and create fireproof conditions. After installation, experts conduct a test run, commissioning. If you have problems with self-connection, it is better to contact a company specializing in the installation of gas equipment.

User manual

Before starting, it is necessary to ventilate the rooms, make sure that the gas valve located in front of the unit is closed, then check the draft. Turn on the Zhukovsky boiler in the following order:

1. Open the tap, raise the mirror to a horizontal position.
2. Turn the control knob counterclockwise, setting the igniter on position, push it all the way and hold for 10 seconds. Without releasing the handle, press the ignition key so that a click is heard.
3. If the flame does not go out, you can release the handle. When fading, you must try again.
4. To ignite the main burner, turn the knob to position 1-2, waiting for the equipment to trigger. If it goes out, re-ignite the burner only after 5 minutes.
5. Turn the mirror to a vertical position, check the draft and adjust the temperature of the water in the system.
6. If condensation has appeared on the walls, there is no need to be afraid: drops will stop being produced when heated above 30 degrees.
7. To turn off the unit, turn the control knob clockwise until it is in the “Ignition ON” position.

Boilers Zhukovsky is a productive, powerful equipment that is suitable for both cottages and large cottages for permanent residence. The manufacturer offers models for heating and AOGV, modern options are completed with imported electronic components, so they have become more convenient and more reliable in operation.
