Modernization of heating equipment makes it possible to heat a house efficiently and without extra costs. Modern boilers have high efficiency, they are economical and reliable. Units operate on various types of fuel, making it possible to choose the best option. A popular model of floor-standing boilers is the Bear series from Protherm.
Distinctive features of coppers Bear
The efficiency of the autonomous heating system is determined by the boiler. The products of the Czech company Proterm are popular among Russian consumers. The boiler equipment of this brand is reliable, durable, it is offered at an affordable cost. Among the gas units, the Medved boiler is distinguished by its large dimensions, considerable weight and unpretentiousness in operation.
All models in the series are boilers with floor mounting. The fuel for them is natural or liquefied gas. This is the most profitable and economical energy resource. Units are equipped with a sectional cast-iron heat exchanger. This structural element transfers the thermal energy of gas combustion to the water circulating in the circuit. Cast iron is resistant to corrosion, the thick walls of the heat exchanger do not fade and rust for a long time.
Heating equipment is available in a single-circuit version. It is designed only for home heating. To increase product functionality, the KLZ model is equipped with a built-in boiler. To other units of the tank for heating water are connected optionally. Gas combustion air is taken from the room. The combustion products are sent to a special collector connected to the chimney. In the absence of draft, smoke accumulates in the upper part of the structure, heating the thermostat. After the sensor is triggered, the gas supply stops.
Protherm offers 4 product lines under the general name Bear. They differ in design features and power parameters. Experts note the high quality of the assembly of floor gas units. They rarely break down and get into service centers for repairs. Cauldron Proterm bear is significant in weight. The mass of models with a capacity of 50-60 kW reaches 200 kg without water. Given their size, a separate room and a solid foundation for the installation of equipment will be required.

The advantages of equipment include its versatility. Depending on the power, the models are installed in country houses, apartments, cottages, institutions and industrial workshops.
The lack of units is the lack of the ability to connect control via a remote control. This feature is only available on the more expensive Proterm models. One more minus - you will need free space for the boiler.
Installation and Maintenance Rules
The gas boiler Protherm Bear is mounted on a solid and non-slip base. Its installation is carried out according to state requirements and standards, as well as taking into account the manufacturer's instructions. The room where the structure is located should be well ventilated. The recommended temperature in the boiler room is not lower than 5 ° C. If the models do not have their own built-in expansion tank and safety valve, then the equipment is mounted in the heating system.
Before starting, the water pressure is checked by a pressure gauge, then the gas supply valve opens. By turning the ignition burner knob, the boiler is put into operation. Its work occurs automatically, according to the set parameters of the thermostat. If the unit shuts down, the burner must be extinguished. Once a year, before the start of the heating season, maintenance is carried out. The condition of the burner, emergency thermostat, the integrity of the chimney system is checked, the heat exchanger is cleaned. The owner must measure the water pressure in the circuit once a week. If the indicators drop, it is necessary to fill the liquid into the system.
Installation and commissioning of heating equipment must be carried out by a specialist. Only in this case will the manufacturer's warranty be recognized.
Varieties of boiler models Bear
