Overview of Taiga gas boilers

The Taiga gas boiler is a product of the Russian company Termotechnik, a worthy alternative to foreign analogues. It features a thoughtful design and high-quality assembly. Taiga heaters have Italian-made automation, thanks to which they meet European safety standards.

Termotekhnik Group of Companies is a Russian company specializing in the production of heating equipment. Year of foundation – 2002. Headquarters – Pushkino (Moscow region).

What are the boilers “Taiga”

Heaters from Termotechnik differ:

• The number of contours. The single-circuit version works exclusively for heating buildings. It is chosen by users who either have a centralized hot water supply or have an autonomous heating device installed – a column or boiler. The double-circuit option, in addition to heating, simultaneously provides the house with hot water for domestic needs.
• Power. It is selected depending on the heated area. The approximate rate of heat output is 1 W for every 000 m².
• Firebox design: closed or open.

How safe are they

Until a certain time, gas equipment had a serious drawback – a high risk of accidents. Today this issue is solved with the help of automation. All processes occurring in the heating system are closely monitored by sensors that respond to the slightest changes in key parameters – temperature and pressure. The presence of traction is also monitored, multi-stage protection against emergency situations is applied. There is no danger for users.

Heaters manufactured by “Thermotechnik” company, assembled from Italian components, are able to heat almost any area, you just need to choose a device of the appropriate power.

General characteristics of boilers “Taiga”

• Made from 3mm stainless steel sheet.
• The minimum depth is 230 mm.
• The power range of atmospheric versions is 10–100 kW, parapet versions are 5–16 kW.
• The coolant at the outlet is heated up to 110 °C.
• The maximum water pressure is 0,2 MPa.

Advantages

• Security – thanks to imported automation.
• Simple design – there is nothing superfluous, which means that the risk of breakdowns is reduced.
• Efficiency over 90%. The equipment saves energy and money for its users.
• Universal connection – can be done from either side, left or right.
• Fuel savings up to 30% – there is Eurosit gas modulation automatics.
• Burner atmospheric type “Thermobar”, made of stainless steel and consists of a number of sections. The fuel burns evenly, the coolant heats up efficiently. The special design of the burner increases the environmental friendliness of the equipment – less toxins in the exhaust gases, makes the device silent and reduces the amount of soot accumulating in the chimney.
• Compactness. Space saving. Can be placed in tight spaces. A small mass allows you to do without a foundation.

Floor models

This category is represented by single- and double-circuit devices designed for heating rooms with a chimney. The line is available in a wide range of capacities, you can choose an option for any area. Models are distinguished by high efficiency, Italian automation is installed, which is responsible for the reliability and safety of equipment. The rate of hot water heating, during the operation of the second circuit, reaches 440 l / h at maximum power. All modifications are united by an important characteristic for consumers – affordable prices.

Parapet

In addition to floor models, the manufacturer offers parapet versions for heating chimney-free housing. They can vary in shape, size and body design. Installation is possible anywhere – on the floor or on the wall. Closed firebox. Burners are put different: one-, two-level or modulating.

Material of heat exchangers – cast iron, copper, steel. In “Taiga” they are steel. The removal of gases occurs through a coaxial chimney. Ignition any – piezo or electronic. Sensors and controllers ensure uninterrupted and safe operation. Termotekhnik produces 3 parapet series with a capacity of 7–16 kW:

• “Alaska”;
• “Leader”;
• “Taiga”.

All modifications have an ergonomic and stylish design, high technical characteristics. Heat exchangers are treated with anti-corrosion powder coating. The composition of the powder does not contain toxic or flammable substances.

Features of parapet models

They are used for heating and for heating hot water. Power is 15–45 kW. A parapet heating boiler is a chimney-free non-volatile device used primarily for heating households and apartments that do not have traditional chimneys. The main difference of any parapet model is a closed firebox. The latter is isolated, so the air of the room where the equipment is located is not used during operation.

“Thermotechnician” produces parapet modifications “Taiga Zh7-KS”. They are mounted in buildings without vertical chimneys, including apartments. To remove the products of combustion, a coaxial chimney with forced draft is equipped, an electric fan is running.

Installation

The manual details the ignition process. The launch is performed after installation and strapping. Correct installation must be checked by the gas service. Before igniting the boiler, a number of preparatory and installation work should be performed:

• Avoid proximity to flammable materials.
• Connect cold water, remove the plugs from the nozzles. At the inlet, put a filter and a ball valve to protect the system from clogging that can cause malfunctions.
• Ball valves are mounted on all pipes involved in the piping.
• The gas pipes are connected by gas workers, they perform the connection and installation of the meter.
• Laying a power line for volatile models. Make a separate outlet.
• Installation work related to the removal of combustion products is determined by the type of furnace. There are atmospheric or turbocharged models.
• Disconnecting the device from the power supply, fill the system with coolant. Check if there are any leaks. Before the first ignition, all components of the system must be carefully checked.

Strapping scheme

What the strapping should provide:

• Coolant pressure stability.
• Removal of air from the coolant. If an air lock is formed, the liquid does not pass through it. You need to know how to tie the system correctly. Be sure to install air vents.
• Purification of the coolant from contaminants that impair functioning. The solution is to install filters.
• Compensation for the expansion of the coolant due to heating – you need to install an expansion tank.

In the simplest piping scheme – with one circuit – a check valve with a ball valve is mounted on the supply side. The pump is installed on the return or discharge pipes, as it is necessary to force the liquid to circulate through the system. In front of the pump include a strainer. A filter is also needed at the inlet of the coolant to the boiler. An expansion tank with a membrane is placed nearby to relieve excess pressure arising from the expansion of the coolant.

The latter, circulating, enters the radiators. There is a second piping option, more relevant, when the coolant passes through a collector that distributes liquid along the circuits. The presence of a safety valve is mandatory: if the coolant boils, the expansion tank may not withstand high pressure. The valve protects against possible risks:

• rupture of pipes and the formation of leaks;
• rupture of fittings;
• device explosion.

Reviews

Zh7-KS-GS-7,0 S: Roman G., Shakhunya

The main advantages are low cost and compactness. The disadvantage is that it happens that it goes out and does not flare up the first time. Having listened to the advice, we bought the Taiga, painted the boiler reliable. In fact, it turned out – a lot of problems. The most unpleasant thing is to kindle it. It happens that you light the wick several times until the burner flares up. The wick goes out on its own. Dissatisfied with the choice.

KS-G-12,5 DS: Victoria E., Bryansk

We have long wanted to change the old-style boiler for a more obedient and economical one. We chose the outdoor option. We have a boiler, so we installed a single-circuit boiler. Attracted by the cost and simplicity of design. It does not have super functions, as in European counterparts, but it works properly. There were no problems during the season. A powerful device capable of heating our large house in the most severe frosts.

Taiga gas heaters are an advantageous offer in the segment of parapet-type devices. They combine affordable prices with high performance. This inexpensive and unpretentious device functions smoothly in the most severe climatic conditions. All lines of equipment from Termotechnik are reliable, energy efficient and are in high demand among domestic consumers.
