Do you want to equip your home with individual heating? Already installed and connected gas equipment? Great, then it remains to figure out how to turn on the gas boiler. Do you think it is enough to insert the plug into the socket and select the temperature? No matter how. Before this, it is necessary to bleed the air and fill the system with water. You will find instructions with a sequence of actions in our article.
The first start of the boiler: the beginning
The initial start allows you to assess the condition of the heating system.
Important! In the event of problems during independent switching on, the service center may refuse to guarantee. Perhaps the best solution would be to contact a specialist.
In any case, a specialist must carry out the connection to the gas pipeline. Installation and tying of equipment is carried out strictly according to the scheme. It is important to comply with the requirements for the room for a wall-mounted and floor-standing boiler, the distance from the wall and floor. If all installation work is successfully completed, proceed to the next step.
Filling the system with water
In order for the liquid to enter the system, you need to open the water valve. It is located at the bottom of the case. More precisely, you can look in the instruction manual for your model “Ariston“,”Protherm”,“ Navien ”(Navien).
Unscrew the valve gradually, the water should not flow suddenly, otherwise an air lock will occur. As a result, problems with heating will begin. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge while filling. As soon as the values u2bu2,5bare reached XNUMX-XNUMX atm, close the tap.
Work with water should be carried out in the warm season, otherwise the liquid will form plugs. If the temperature outside is below zero, warm the room up to 20 degrees.
After installing and filling a double-circuit or single-circuit heating boiler, take care of removing the remaining air in the pipes.
Bleeding air from the system
Automatically switched on equipment may have an air release function. But it is more efficient to do the work yourself. If you want the room to maintain a stable temperature, then eliminate the possibility of blockages in the pipeline. This is true for old and new models.
Start the process with radiators. Open the Mayevsky cranes located on them.
Pre-substitute containers, because water will drain with air. As soon as the whistling and hissing stops, you can close the taps.
Bleeding starts from the battery, which is located above the rest.
Before starting the boiler, bleed the air from the pump. Is it possible to do it yourself? It is better to carry out the first bleeding manually despite the automation. How to proceed:
- Dismantle the case by unscrewing the screws;
- Connect the boilerWiseman“,”Kiturami“,”Aton» or the one that you have at your disposal, to the outlet;
- As soon as the device is started, the pump will turn on and you will hear a gurgle;
- Using a slotted screwdriver, unscrew the pump nut;
- As soon as water flows, tighten the nut back. Repeat the process until the gurgling stops.
Keep track of the pressure gauge. If the pressure has dropped, add fluid to the circuit.
An important point is the setting of the batteries. The far radiators are turned on to the maximum, and the near ones to the minimum. As soon as a comfortable indicator is reached, proceed to the next step.
Contour pressing
During startup, this step is often ignored by users. But in vain! The procedure allows you to immediately find out how reliable and tight the system is. Judge for yourself: if a leak occurs at the height of the heating season and you are left without heat, the costs can be much greater. All you need is a pressure pump at hand.
Blow out the system with a powerful stream of air. The interval between switching on is 10 minutes. During this time, keep an eye on the manometer. Is the pressure starting to drop? So, there is a leak that needs to be found and fixed.
Wash cleansing
To ensure that nothing interferes with the circulation of water in the future, open all the taps on the radiators. Now supply liquid under a pressure of 4 bar, after substituting the containers. The flow will clean the pipes of rust and sediment. Then clean the filters from dirt.
How to turn on a gas boiler?
The system is ready, proceed to start the independent boiler. Is it possible to turn it on without gas? No, you need to follow the sequence.
For mounted unitsBosch“,”Vaillant“,”Beretta“,”Ferroli» (Ferroli), Protherm, Celtic and other models:
- Plug the device into a socket;
- Open the gas valve;
- Press the “Start” button (depending on the model, there may be another key. See the instructions);
- Using the buttons on the control panel “+” or “-” set the desired temperature;
- The burner with electronic ignition will light up automatically when switching to hot water supply (DHW) or heating. For piezo ignition, hold down the flame control for a few seconds, then press the piezo button.
Important! During the initial start-up, air could accumulate inside the gas line, so the ignition may be blocked. To unlock, press the “Restart” key.
For parapet boilers of the Aton type, the inclusion is carried out in a similar way. If there is a remote control, then you can set the mode using the remote control.
How to properly turn on outdoor units “Buderus» (Buderus), «Bucks» (Baxi), «Lemax“,”AOGV“,”Conord“,”Danko“,”Siberia” and others:
- Ventilate the room;
- Make sure there is draft in the chimney;
- Open the appliance door;
- The control and temperature selector must be in the “Off” position;
- Open the gas valve;
- Set the selector to the piezo ignition position;
- Press the selector for 5 seconds while pressing the piezo button. The burner should light up;
- Use the same knob to adjust the temperature values.
Is it possible to leave the boiler on during absence? If you’re away from home for an extended period of time, just set the rates to minimum. Low temperatures and frost will lead to freezing of the entire system and other equipment. Metal pipes can break under pressure, then you will have to completely change the heating circuit.
Modern units are equipped with control sensors. After turning off the gas, they block the operation of the device.
