Along with traditional boilers using solid fuel, gas or diesel, electric models are no less popular. In most cases, they are equipped with a heating element - a special heating element. To reduce costs, boilers for heating a private home Galan can be an alternative to such equipment: electronic, electrode, reviews about them will help to form an objective idea of efficiency.
About Galan
The organization began its activities in early 1994. On the basis of the defense enterprise, the first Galan electrode-type heating boilers were developed. Compared with standard electric models, the company managed to achieve a significant reduction in energy consumption with stable heat output.
Having developed a competent marketing policy, we managed to establish stable sales of products, which allowed us to work on expanding the assortment. Starting from the second half of the 90s, the heating system with a Galan boiler is found not only in private homes, but also in industrial and commercial premises.
Currently, there are several areas of company activity:
- Electric boilers for heating a house Galan with an electrode block for heating water. The consumer can choose the best option from three series - Hearth, Geyser or Volcano;
- Special fluid for heating Galan, designed for electrode models;
- Heating equipment with heating elements. Their advantages are installation options for open systems;
- Automation for heating.
With the development of each of the above areas, it was possible to achieve high quality products and adapt them to Russian operating characteristics.
In connection with the increasing incidence of fakes, the manufacturer recommends purchasing boilers only from official representatives.
Electrode boilers Galan: principle of operation
The greatest interest among consumers is caused by Galan electronic heating boilers. Despite their small size, they generate a sufficient amount of thermal energy to heat the coolant.
The main feature of the design is the principle of its work. To increase the temperature, no heating elements are used - the Galan electrode boilers operate on the principle of ionization of water. Electrodes break down molecules into positive and negative. Each species moves to the electrode with a reverse charge. The electronic unit changes the poles with a frequency of 50 times / sec, as a result of which oscillations of ions occur. This causes an increase in temperature.
This principle of operation allowed to minimize the size of the equipment. Positive feedback on Galan heating systems is associated with this factor. So, the smallest model of the Outbreak 2 at a rated power of 2 kW has dimensions of only 35 mm in diameter and a length of 275 mm. And this is with a weight of 0.9 kg.
But do not immediately plan the electric heating of a private house Galan. This system is characterized by a number of operational features that must be taken into account:
- Do not use distilled water. The ionization process will require the content of salts in the coolant. Therefore, the manufacturer recommends pouring ordinary drinking (pre-salted, in a proportion of 1 tablespoon per 100 liters), or branded heating fluid;
- Galan heating boilers do not include pump and expansion tank. For small highways up to 20 m.this is compensated by the pressure created in the ionization chamber. In the process of warming up, this indicator rises to 2 atm;
- A control unit for Galan heating boilers must be installed. It adjusts the power of the device depending on the installed power. It provides the ability to connect to external temperature sensors, as well as a remote control system (SMS) control.
The main advantage is the choice of installation scheme. In heating systems with a Galan boiler, other heating devices can be present - solid fuel, or running on gas. If in the future it is planned to expand the living space, it is possible to install additional boilers in parallel to increase the total heating capacity.
The cross-section of the wiring must correspond to the rated power of the boiler. It is best to connect it on a separate line with the installation of an RCD.
Series of boilers Hearth
The models of this series are the most low-power and can be used to organize electric heating of a small private house Galan or apartment. Often they are installed without circulation pumps - enough pressure created in the ionization chamber.
The rated power of the Hearth series models varies from 2 to 6 kW. It should be remembered that only the heating unit is included in the package. Additional equipment (RCD, programmer) must be purchased.
For the correct operation of Galan electric boilers in home heating, you need to familiarize yourself with their characteristics:
- The volume of the heated house - from 80 to 200 m³;
- Power supply - 220 V network;
- The cross section of the copper core of the conductive line is 4 mm², with the exception of the Ochag-6 model. For it should provide wiring with a cross section of 6 mm²;
- The volume of coolant directly depends on the power of electronic heating boilers Galan.
| Boiler model | Recommended coolant volume, l |
| Hearth-2 | 20-40 |
| Hearth-3 | 25-50 |
| Hearth-5 | 30-60 |
| Hearth-6 | 35-70 |
Before installation, it is necessary to make a ground loop. No water is allowed in the area of the electrodes. Therefore, an automatic filling system should be provided. Installation of the electrode boiler can be done independently. It is enough to study the instructions from the manufacturer.
Geyser and Volcano Boiler Series
For more powerful systems, it is recommended to purchase Geyser and Volcano boilers. Structurally, they are no different from the Outbreak, but are designed to heat a larger volume of coolant. The electric heating Galan organized with their help can provide constant power from 9 to 50 kW. Since a standard power line will not cope with such a volume, a 3-phase 380 V connection will be required. For this, a separate permit must be issued. This fact must be taken into account when choosing a heating scheme.
Technical characteristics of boilers for heating systems Galan series Geyser and Volcano:
- The residential volume of the building is from 340 to 1650 m³;
- Power supply - 380 V network;
- The cross section of the copper core of the conductive line is from 4 to 6 mm²;
- Recommended coolant volume is indicated in the table.
| Boiler model | Recommended coolant volume, l |
| Geyser 9 | 50-100 |
| Geyser-15 | 100-200 |
| Volcano-25 | 150-300 |
| Volcano-36 | 200-400 |
| Volcano 50 | 300-500 |
Boilers of this series are used not only for autonomous heating of private houses, but also for industrial and commercial premises.
For the Geyser and Vulcan models, circulation pumps are necessarily installed, since the heating chamber cannot provide the proper pressure indicator for the movement of fluid in the system.
Models of Galan boilers with heating elements
Along with electrode models, Galan company launched production of boilers for heating with installed heating elements. They are designed for quick heating of the coolant, therefore they got the prefix “Turbo” to the standard name.
Unlike standard electrode boilers, Galan used AISI 316L stainless steel in these models.This allowed to significantly increase the life of the heater and reduce the likelihood of scale. Tubular heaters are small, which affected the dimensions of the boilers. The models provide a three-stage power control.
Unlike Galan electrode boilers, the heating elements of the hearth can be connected to the 220 and 380 V. lines. This is one of the factors for unifying heating. At any time, you can install an additional heat source, regardless of the characteristics of the mains.
Features of the heating system with a boiler Galan Turbo series are as follows:
- Decrease in electricity consumption up to 20% in comparison with similar models;
- Easy installation. It is only required to connect the pipes in the heating system and provide power;
- Maintainability. Even if the heater fails, it can be replaced on its own. You just need to remove the top cover and disconnect the lead wires.
One of the drawbacks of such models is the lack of a circulation pump and a safety group in the configuration. That is why the company has developed a new series of Galan electric boilers for heating a house with additional elements.
It is best to purchase a boiler of greater power than the calculated one. So you can make the heating system with a margin and prevent costs in advance when installing additional elements.
Galax Series Models
Galax series boilers are designed to operate only from a 380 V network. They include sets of electromechanical and electronic automation. Their functions are to control the flow of the coolant, as well as stabilization when the pressure in the pipes is exceeded.
These Galan electric boilers for heating a private house are designed to increase the comfort of operation. Their features are as follows:
- High system efficiency - up to 98%. This is achieved by installing economical heating elements;
- Built-in automation - temperature regulator "Istopnik-103" and 203;
- The possibility of voice control is realized after the installation of the Galan GSM block;
- Additional thermal insulation of the housing and the heating unit.
The models in this series have a wide power range - from 9 to 27 kW. Stealth Galan electronic boilers are installed only for closed systems with forced circulation.
When choosing a heating boiler, you need to carefully study the requirements for organizing a boiler room. According to this parameter, Galan electrode installations will be optimal in the absence of a chimney or a separate room.

Reviews about the boiler equipment Galan:
- After installing the electrode boiler Galan at 9 kW, they began to notice that the heating rate had significantly decreased. It turned out that we poured the wrong water. It was impossible to fill with distilled. Over time, its conductive properties deteriorate. We bought a special fluid from the manufacturer - everything has been working fine for 3 years;
- The Geyser Turbo boiler was pleased for 4 years. Until the moment when the husband decided to connect it to the flow system for heating water. After 2 days of such experiments, the heater failed. I had to buy a new one and change. Therefore, we decided to purchase a simple instantaneous water heater;
- We thought for a long time how to solve the issue of heating in the country. I did not want to make a chimney - the house was small, and it also spoiled it with a pipe. The decision came unexpectedly - an electric boiler Galan turbo.We took a 4 kW model. Heats up quickly in winter, no need to wait 2-3 hours. Everyone is happy.
What else needs to be considered before purchasing electronic heating boilers from Galan? Be sure to install a multi-tariff meter. This will significantly save on electricity.
