The heat source in an autonomous heating system is a boiler. The most profitable solution is a gas-powered apparatus, for example, the Aton gas boiler. It is economical, easy to operate, performs additional functions.
Features and types of gas boilers Aton
ATON Group Holding produces devices in various designs and designs.
Most models are independent of electricity. Even the most powerful floor modifications work without a network. The holding produces parapet boilers - single and double circuit. Thanks to the design, they can also work without electricity, which is rare for this type of apparatus.
Non-volatile units are offered both in floor and wall versions.
Chimneyless wall mounted boilers
Parapet or smokeless gas boilers in their design resemble condensing ones. In fact, they can not do without a chimney. This impression arises from the specific installation.
The parapet is fixed to the outer wall. A hole is made in it and a coaxial horizontal chimney is brought to the device. Its length is equal to the thickness of the wall; it is not visible in the room. The air for gas combustion comes from outside, the combustion products are discharged out through the chimney.
Aton offers 2 versions:
- Mounted - compact, silent, with automatic block. Such modifications are usually dependent on electricity.
- Aton gas boiler in the floor version adjoins the wall, but is installed on the floor. They are more powerful, bulky, equipped with piezo ignition. Work without a network connection.
The company produces single and double-circuit boilers both in floor and wall versions.
Small chimney boilers
For heating areas from 100 to 250 sq.m. Aton offers low power models - from 7 to 20 kW. There are enough options:
- ATON COMPACT series - parapet models with a closed combustion chamber. The minimum power is 7 kW, the maximum is 16 kW. The devices are compact, lightweight, easy to maintain. There are both single and dual circuit models. The primary heat exchanger is made of steel, the secondary is made of copper. All boilers are not dependent on electricity.
- ATON ATMO - small floor standing boilers with a capacity of up to 25 kW. The primary heat exchanger is steel; in double-circuit devices, the secondary is made of copper. An atmospheric type burner is installed here: the combustion air enters from the room, so that it is mounted only in the utility rooms.
- ATON CLASSIC - floor models of low power - up to 20 kW. 4 designs are intended only for heating, 4 more heat water for domestic hot water.
Most low-power devices operate without electricity.
Chimney boilers designed for heating large rooms
The best option for heating in this category is the Kombi Kompact HRE line. These are condensing gas boilers with a capacity of 24 to 60 kW. They heat the area from 180 to 400 square meters. m. The models are energy-dependent, but have a lot of advantages: electronic control, the ability to control both power and temperature, the removal of combustion products using a fan. The main advantage is increased efficiency. Gas consumption is reduced by 15%.
Boilers of the ATON ATMO line are also suitable, but with higher rates - up to 50 kW. Outdoor atmospheric apparatus heats water for heating from +50 to +90 C.The efficiency of the devices is 90%.
The ATON NOVA series is designed for space heating up to 450 square meters. m. These are floor-standing dimensional units with an open combustion chamber. With high power - up to 50 kW, they can be installed only in the utility rooms and with good ventilation.
To heat the area of more than 400 square meters. m. Aton offers a boiler of the highest power - the ATON SAAB line. These are single-circuit devices with a capacity of up to 80 kW. The maximum temperature of the heat carrier is +95 C, the efficiency is 91%. They can work in the system with both natural and forced circulation, but they themselves depend on electricity. For an hour, the device consumes up to 20 watts.

The performance of the apparatus depends on the power, pressure in the system and the temperature to which it is necessary to heat the water.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of the company's products are explained by the use of quality materials and proven technologies. The pros are:
- stable operation in any mode;
- reliability of nodes, and, consequently, durability of units;
- a choice: the company offers single and double-circuit boilers, models with an open and closed combustion chamber in wall and floor versions, the power range is significant - from 7 to 80 kW;
- the presence of models that work without electricity;
- noiselessness;
- relatively low price.
The disadvantages are typical for heating boilers of any class:
- volatile devices stop working when they turn off the electricity;
- non-volatile are less stable, since their work depends on natural physical processes.
The higher the efficiency of the model, the more sensitive it is to water quality and voltage stability.
The principle of operation of gas boilers Aton
When the apparatus is turned on, piezo or electric ignition is triggered, gas is supplied to the burner. From a spark it lights up. Air enters the chamber from the room or from the outside through a coaxial chimney. The heat exchanger located near the burner heats up and transfers heat to water or antifreeze. Then the heated liquid is transferred to the heating pipes. Combustion products are led out through the chimney.
A secondary heat exchanger is installed in the double-circuit boiler. When the apparatus is turned on to heat water, the liquid from the water supply enters the secondary heat exchanger, where it is heated to a certain level. Heat carrier for heating and water for domestic hot water are not in contact.
Installation and Connection
Only a licensed specialist can install the boiler. They put the unit in any convenient place next to the external wall. Make sure that curtains and furniture are at a distance of at least 30 cm from the apparatus. If the wall is finished with materials sensitive to heat - wood, plastic panels - the area around the boiler and chimney is insulated.
A hole with a diameter of at least 24 cm is made in the outer wall. A chimney is installed in it. It is forbidden to take the chimney to the balcony or loggia. Then the boiler itself is mounted on the wall or floor. At the last stage, the unit is connected to the gas pipeline, heating and water supply.
The device must be turned on for the first time in the presence of a specialist. He performs the settings of the boiler. It is recommended that a pressure test be carried out immediately after installation.
User manual
The volatile boiler is switched on automatically: it starts to work as soon as the operating temperature of the coolant or hot water is indicated. Volatile include in a certain pattern.
- Push the knob all the way and simultaneously the ignition button.
- Hold the knob and button until a fire appears on the burner;
- The piezo ignition button is released immediately, and the handle is held for another 10 seconds.
- If the boiler does not turn on immediately, all operations are repeated after a minute.
It is better to entrust the cleaning of the device to specialists - otherwise the warranty ceases to apply. It is also not recommended to deal with problems on your own. If any malfunctions occur, you must immediately turn off the boiler, turn off the gas supply, and then call the service center.
