Coppers of Olympia (Olympia) – diesel, gas, combined.

The Olympia trademark produces household and industrial heating boilers not only for gas, but also for diesel type – for heating individual rooms and entire buildings. The main fuel used by the heating equipment presented on the official website of Olympia boilers is liquefied gas and diesel fuel (diesel). The device of South Korean boilers has a hot water and heating circuit made of reliable material – stainless steel or copper.

The history of the brand “Olympia”

The Olympia concern is originally from South Korea, and it launched its product on the market back in the 60s of the XX century. But Russian buyers were able to evaluate the quality of products only in the mid-nineties – since that time, the Olympia company began to actively develop the market for heating appliances in the Russian Federation.

The main distinguishing feature of Olympia products is the maximum automation of combustion processes and a minimum of malfunctions during the operation of the device. It is possible to achieve such indicators due to the high quality of the robotic assembly, which completely excludes the human factor. Also, the operation of the equipment is affected by a gas burner for boilers, which was specially invented by the company. The burners have performed so well that a number of boiler manufacturers have decided to equip their devices with them.

Oil boilers

Before proceeding to the review of Olympia gas boilers, we will describe the advantages and features of floor-standing options that run on liquid fuel. The purpose of such equipment applies to the following objects:

• Private houses (for the organization of autonomous heating).
• Buildings for public use.
• Industrial objects.

The features of Olympia double-circuit diesel boilers include their parameters and characteristics:

• Hot water circuit – for the performance of hot water, an indirect heating boiler is provided. When the tap is open, cold water is poured into the container, after which it is heated and supplied to the needs of the consumer. And getting hot water happens instantly.
• Universalism. Liquid fuel boilers from a Korean diesel brand can be easily converted to liquefied gas, which is why we decided to consider them as part of this review. To carry out the transfer, you just need to rearrange the burner. Due to the fact that the company produces devices designed for different fuels, the user can easily select a unit that can be combined with a specific model.
• Diesel pump. In Olympia boilers, when turned on, the device itself selects the necessary pressure in the fuel supply system, focusing on the density of diesel fuel.

The controller immediately provides factory settings that greatly facilitate the use of equipment. Presets allow you to start the boilers immediately after installation and connection to the heating system.

Gas options

Hot water double-circuit gas boilers Olympia OLB is another popular product from a manufacturer from South Korea. As in diesel counterparts, special attention is paid to the burner – reliability and efficiency are guaranteed due to the special “pistol” design. A complete set of protective and control fittings makes it easy to connect the boiler and easily maintain the system. Moreover, the built-in burner does not need to be adjusted during installation – all settings are provided from the factory.

When choosing a suitable model, look at the diameter of the supply gas pipeline. So, in different models, it can be ½, ¾ or 1. You can also use gas cylinders, it is not forbidden to fill a fuel tank of impressive volumes. For reasons of convenience, it is worth using a gas tank, the capacity of which is enough for the entire heating season.

Also boilers Olympia OLB have security group и especially sensitive automation, which allows the equipment to operate even in conditions of low gas pressure. The power is regulated by the control unit. Also, as an addition, you can order a device that will allow remote control station. The system provides flame auto-ignition. A IR sensors make sure the fire is always on. If the flame suddenly goes out, the system will signal a fuel cut, after which ignition transformer ignite the fire again.

The heat exchanger is very easy to clean – for this purpose, a removable panel is provided in the rear of the case.

Comparison: which boiler to choose – gas or diesel?

When choosing the type of heating boiler, please note that any model within the specified brand can be easily converted to an alternative type of fuel. But when choosing a suitable model and the main type of raw material, you should rely on such points:

• Security. To install a diesel appliance, you do not need permission. And the option that works with natural gas requires registration and preparation of the project – otherwise, the boiler will not be put into operation. Such stringent requirements are associated with a greater insecurity of gas in comparison with diesel fuel.
• Fuel prices. Today, natural gas has no alternative in terms of cost. Gas is much cheaper than diesel – about a third.
• Service. The cycle of operation of GO (gas equipment) is almost unlimited in time, especially if a connection to the main line is organized. And in order to provide the device with diesel, you need to find a place for a large volume tank, and the tank must be in a well-heated room.
• Installation price. It is important that the device is mounted exclusively by a specialist – independent connection is not possible. And the money spent on obtaining permits plus for the installation of civil defense will result in an amount that may exceed the cost of the device itself. If the check finds at least one slightest violation, for example, an inappropriate chimney diameter, or ventilation is rejected, then you will be denied commissioning. Installing a solar station will be cheaper.

What is the best fuel?

Gas is the most profitable source of heat, and this option is most often resorted to. But the purchase of a diesel unit is decided by users living in areas without gasification or owners of private households. By the way, the minimum service life of such a boiler (on diesel fuel) is 10 years.
