Borino gas heating boilers - models and their features

Gas boilers are the most popular heating method recently, since gas is an accessible and cheap type of fuel. Therefore, there is a large selection of these devices on the market, both from foreign and domestic manufacturers. The latter include Borinsky boilers, which are very popular among consumers; in fact, this article is devoted to these products.

Borinsky gas boiler

General information

The Borinsky Boiler Plant has a long history, as it was founded back in 1939, the last century. True, he began producing heating equipment only in 1992. For more than twenty years, this enterprise has taken a leading position in the domestic gas boiler market.

Borinsky gas heating boilers have proven themselves to be reliable and high-quality heating devices that are ideal for installation in apartments, private houses, cottages and other various facilities. Moreover, in addition to high quality, the devices attract buyers with their low cost. Therefore, the entire model range is available to every owner of a country house or apartment.

It should be noted that domestic equipment has certain features that make it more attractive compared to imported equipment.

In particular, the following points can be highlighted:

• Adaptation to work in domestic conditions - boilers comply with all norms and standards adopted in the CIS countries. In particular, the devices can operate successfully at low gas pressure. In addition, they are equipped with a special valve that prevents the device from failure if the pressure in the water supply increases.
• Gas flame stabilization - even in the event of gas pressure drops, the flame is automatically equalized, thereby eliminating fire extinction, and the heat exchanger is heated evenly. This is very convenient, since in many settlements the gas supply is not always stable.
• Attractive appearance - the cases and some components of these devices are painted with polymer paint, so they do not lose their attractiveness even after a long time. In addition, the coating reliably protects the product from corrosion.
• Energy independence is a quality of Borino boilers that is especially important for rural areas, where power outages often occur.
• Ease of maintenance - if any unit fails, it can be quickly and cheaply replaced, unlike imported boilers.

Thus, this technique is a profitable alternative to European analogues.

Possible startup problems

• The gas boiler slams when the main burner starts.

The most common problem, the cause of which is most often clogging of the igniter (dust, combustion products, etc.).
It is recommended to call a specialist to clean it. The reason may also be that the pilot flame is too low: below the main burner. When using electrode ignition, the electrode may be clogged or faulty. In rare cases, the cause may be excess gas pressure in the line. It is important to understand that slight, barely audible pops are characteristic of most models of gas boilers that do not have a sound insulation layer.

• Only the wick is lit and cannot light the main burner.

The reason may be the same clogging of the igniter or its incorrect installation, when the flame simply does not reach the main burner. Clean the pilot nozzle (it is advisable to entrust this to a specialist) and check the operation: its flame should reach the main burner and simultaneously “wash” the thermocouple. Sometimes the reason lies in a malfunction of the thermocouple, which does not open the gas supply.

Boiler models

The Borinsky plant today produces several main model lines of gas boilers, each of which has its own distinctive features and advantages. Let's take a closer look at them below.

AOGV model range

These models are an excellent option for installing autonomous heating systems in houses, apartments or even small businesses. Like all other devices from this manufacturer, they are manufactured on modern equipment using modern technologies and high-quality materials.

AOGV 11.6

Devices of this series are characterized by such qualities as:

• Sufficient power - 7 kW, which allows you to heat a room with an area of ​​40 - 250 square meters;
• High performance;
• Reliability;
• Low cost;
• Safety.

It should also be noted that AOGV devices are absolutely not inferior to their European counterparts. Innovative automation provides control over fuel consumption, heating level, etc.

Dimensions of the AOGV and AKGV apparatus

Among other advantages of these products, the following points can be highlighted:

• Simple and at the same time functional control . Thanks to a mechanical thermostat for heating, you can manually adjust the required heating level. A constant temperature in the room is ensured by an automatic system connected to sensors.
• High level of safety due to the presence of many sensors, including traction control . Therefore, in the event of emergency situations, the electronics immediately reacts and turns off the equipment. Moreover, the device is equipped with a draft stabilizer, which prevents the penetration of carbon monoxide into the room.
• Economical - the efficiency of these boilers reaches 89 percent, thanks to which the house is heated with minimal fuel consumption.

Note! The AOGV series is equipped with one circuit, so when choosing, it should be taken into account that the function of the device is limited to heating water for heating. However, such boilers are more stable in operation than double-circuit boilers.

Device AKGV 29 Minisit

AKGV boilers

Installing floor-standing devices of the AKGV series will not only provide your home, cottage or office with heating, but also with hot water. These double-circuit boilers have compact dimensions, so they can be installed anywhere in the room without sacrificing usable space.

It must be said that the devices of the AKGV series are available in two modifications:

Boiler AKGV-11.6-1 Eurosit

Among the features of the model, the following points can be highlighted:

• Protection against gas leakage - thanks to the presence of a flame sensor, if it goes out, the device automatically turns off.
• Overheating protection – the maximum permissible coolant temperature is 95 degrees Celsius. If this threshold is exceeded, the device automatically turns off, which eliminates the failure of the heating system.
• Reliability and durability, which is achieved through the use of high-quality automation and the best materials.
• Effective removal of combustion products - the automatic system turns off the device if there is no draft in the chimney for 10 seconds.

Thus, this equipment is an excellent choice in cases where it is necessary to provide not only heating of the room, but also hot water supply. Moreover, the device is capable of efficiently heating an area of ​​up to 150 square meters. Depending on the model, the boiler power ranges from 11.5 to 29 kW.

Floor-standing boiler ISHMA 50

Ishma boilers

The Ishma series is designed specifically for use in small industrial premises, as well as in apartment buildings with an area of ​​up to 1000 square meters. The efficiency indicators of this technology are also quite high - reaching 86-91 percent. This provides efficient heating with relatively low fuel consumption.

Ishma UE

It must be said that the fuel consumption of these devices is an order of magnitude less than that of foreign analogues with the same characteristics.

Among their other advantages, the following points can be highlighted:

• Reliability and reliability - boilers of this series are equipped with a full range of automation and electronics, which provides protection against high pressure in the system and other emergency situations. The draft stabilizer ensures effective removal of combustion products.
• Simple operating instructions thanks to electronics, which ensures that the device operates in automatic mode.

The power of Ishma series boilers ranges from 30 to 63 kW.

Boiler KOV-45 Honeywell

KOV boilers

KOV series boilers are designed specifically for the installation of autonomous heating systems in hotel complexes, various enterprises and other large facilities. These devices are equipped with powerful cast iron heat exchangers, which are characterized by increased resistance to corrosion and durability, which reaches 20 years.

Among the features of these devices are:

• Ease of use - like devices of other models, KOV are equipped with an electronic control system, thanks to which you can quickly set the desired temperature regime, which will subsequently be maintained by a thermostat. All readings can be read on a digital screen.
• Increased safety - if the flame goes out, the automatic system tries to rekindle it five times, after which it turns off the device. In this case, an error code is displayed on the screen, by which you can find out what the problem is.
• Economical - flame modulation reduces gas consumption and makes the device more efficient - efficiency reaches 91 percent. In addition, the automatic ignition system eliminates wasted fuel.
• Reliability – diagnostic systems allow you to identify faults in a timely manner and inform the user about them.
• Additional functions - boilers of this series allow you to connect boilers to them for indirect heating of water. Additionally, the unit can be equipped with room regulators that allow you to maintain the optimal temperature in the room.
• The power of boilers of this series is 30-63 kW.

It should be borne in mind that these boilers are not suitable for providing hot water supply, as they are single-circuit.

Note! The weight of this equipment is 150 – 270 kg. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a place for its installation in advance.

Boiler KSGC – 12.5

KSGC series

This model range includes double-circuit boilers, which are designed for heating systems in which the water pressure does not exceed 0.1 MPa. Their distinctive feature is the presence of a closed combustion chamber. In addition, the device has a special heat exchanger design and a burner made of durable stainless steel.

Thanks to its compact size, the boiler can be installed in any room, for example, in the kitchen or bathroom.

Other features of the device include:

• Availability of traction stabilization;
• Flame stabilization.

In addition, there are various safety valves and other electronics that increase the efficiency and safety of the device.

The power of the device is sufficient to effectively heat rooms up to 150 square meters.

Wall-mounted boiler series Ishma 12.5 BSK

Wall-mounted boilers Ishma

In addition to floor-standing units, which make up the bulk of this manufacturer’s products, the range also includes wall-mounted boilers. As a rule, this equipment is used to provide private houses, apartments and cottages with heat and hot water.

Currently, the company produces only one series of wall-mounted gas heating boilers - Ishma. This device is equipped with a reliable steel heat exchanger. Other advantages include innovative electronics that ensure heating performance and safety.

Wall-mounted boilers are either single- or double-circuit. The price of these devices is lower than floor-standing ones, however, they are less productive. Therefore, to work in systems with a large volume of coolant, it is still better to give preference to floor-standing devices.

Advice! On the market you can find gas boilers from China or neighboring countries, the cost of which will be much cheaper than Borinsky ones. However, as a result of the lower quality and reliability of these devices, they can hardly be called a bargain.

Pre-launch activities

The location for the gas boiler is chosen depending on its modification

The position of the boiler is selected according to safety standards, away from fire hazards. The distance to wall structures is prescribed in the manufacturer's instructions. The body of the unit is set taking into account the horizontal and vertical levels, since if it is distorted, the work is disrupted.

The equipment is connected to the water supply and gas mains, ball valves and filters are installed using pipes. Before lighting the boiler, install the power supply and install a separate socket. First connect the chimney pipe and check for the presence of draft.

Features of choosing a Borinsky boiler

Before you purchase a Borinsky boiler, like any other, you need to decide on the tasks assigned to it. This applies to both the functionality of the device and its power.

The choice of power depends not only on the area of ​​the house, but also on its features. If, for example, the building is modern and insulated, then you can choose a device commensurate with the space that needs to be heated. If the house is cold, then the device must have a certain power reserve.

As for functionality, you will have to choose between single-circuit and double-circuit devices. If the house does not have a centralized hot water supply, then, of course, it is necessary to install a device with two circuits. If autonomous heating is carried out, for example, in an apartment where there is hot water, then it makes no sense to purchase a double-circuit boiler.

Scheme of operation of a double-circuit boiler

In addition, some other conditions should be taken into account. For example, what fuel will the device operate on - natural gas or from cylinders.

Note! Some boiler models require changing nozzles to operate on liquefied gas.

As mentioned above, boilers can have both domestic and foreign automation. The latter is more functional, however, its cost is higher.

These are, perhaps, all the most important points that you need to pay attention to when choosing Borino boilers.

Setting up the heating system

You can establish efficient and stable operation of the heating system after the boiler has been successfully started.
To set up, you will need to understand the control valves. In most cases, the batteries that are located furthest from the boiler do not have enough heat. This can be corrected if the supply of heated coolant is distributed evenly. To do this, screw in the taps to adjust the first two radiators. The tap of the first radiator needs to be screwed in half, and the subsequent ones a little less. Observe the effect achieved. It may take several days of adjustments and adjustments to get each radiator to heat evenly. However, in general, the system at this stage already works normally and warms the room.

Conclusion

Borino gas boilers are reliable and high-quality equipment, the cost of which is significantly lower than their European counterparts. In addition, the extensive range of products of this company is able to satisfy a wide variety of consumer requirements. Therefore, the great popularity of Borinsky boilers in the domestic market is quite natural.

Flame and draft sensors

Flame and draft sensors work on this principle. The draft sensor reacts to deteriorating smoke draft and transmits an impulse to the control system. It is located in the smoke hood. Equipped with a plate made of an alloy of two metals: iron and nickel. When draft deteriorates, flue gases accumulate and heat the plate. It becomes deformed, the contacts open, and the flow of fuel into the combustion chamber stops. When the temperature decreases, the plate returns to its normal state.

The temperature sensor works on the same principle. When the water in the boiler heats above the set temperature, the lever mechanism is activated and the temperature regulator valve closes. The gas supply stops and the burners go out.

When the water cools, the sensor bellows contracts, the lever mechanism is activated, the temperature regulator valve opens, gas begins to flow, and the burners light up.

For which rooms is it best suited?

AOGV 23 boilers are optimal for use in private homes, public or commercial premises. They require a separate room with ventilation, so installing the units in apartments is not recommended.

Also, production workshops with a large number of openings and technological hatches that disrupt the air exchange regime and create drafts are not suitable for operation. They often cause flames, which stops the heating system from working and creates the risk of gas leaks.

The best option is a separate room in the basement (ground) floor, with a window opening and an area of ​​at least 8 m2.

Varieties

There are three modifications of Zhukovsky AOGV 23 boilers:

• Economy _ Floor-standing unit with Russian automation, tubular heat exchanger. There is a temperature sensor.
• Station wagon. Italian SIT automatic equipment, modulated burner, coolant overheating sensor are installed.
• Comfort. In addition to all the options of the Universal models, the boilers have the possibility of remote control, a room thermostat, and protection against exceeding the coolant temperature.

Boilers of the Comfort modification can be distinguished from other varieties in appearance - they have a rectangular cross-section of the body, while Economy and Universal are round.

Device

The operating principle of the AOGV 23 boiler is based on heating the coolant using an atmospheric burner . Entering the tubular heat exchanger, the liquid reaches its maximum temperature, after which it is discharged into the heating system.

The movement of the coolant occurs under the influence of the upward thermal movement of heated layers, therefore the placement of all pipelines must be planned with a certain slope. To set the temperature to a given value, a three-way valve is installed, which mixes a certain amount of colder return water into the heated coolant.

Natural circulation is unstable and ineffective, so many owners install an external circulation pump to stabilize the system.

Let's consider the method for finding the above fault.

When repairing a gas boiler, testing begins with the “weakest link” of the automation device - the draft sensor. The sensor is not protected by a casing, so after 6.12 months of operation it becomes “overgrown” with a thick layer of dust. The bimetallic plate (see Fig. 6) quickly oxidizes, which leads to deterioration of contact.

The dust coat is removed with a soft brush. Then the plate is pulled away from the contact and cleaned with fine sandpaper. We should not forget that it is necessary to clean the contact itself. Good results are obtained by cleaning these elements with a special “Contact” spray. It contains substances that actively destroy the oxide film. After cleaning, apply a thin layer of liquid lubricant to the plate and contact.

The next step is to check the serviceability of the thermocouple. It operates in severe thermal conditions, since it is constantly in the flame of the igniter; naturally, its service life is significantly shorter than other elements of the boiler.

The main defect of a thermocouple is burnout (destruction) of its body. In this case, the transition resistance at the welding site (junction) increases sharply. As a result, the current in the Thermocouple - Electromagnet circuit.

The bimetallic plate will be lower than the nominal value, which leads to the fact that the electromagnet will no longer be able to fix the rod (Fig. 5) .

Specifications

All models have the following technical characteristics of the Conord gas boiler:

• Guaranteed flawless operation for 3 years.
• Possibility of operation for 15 years.
• Boilers with cast iron heat exchangers can operate for a quarter of a century.
• Heat exchangers made of cold rolled steel allow them to withstand thermal deformations.
• Using tap water as a coolant.
• Ban on the use of antifreeze.
• Connection to a system with natural or forced circulation of the working environment.

Price range

The cost of the Zhukovsky AOGV 23 boiler depends on the specific model and ranges from 20-24.4 thousand rubles. This price does not include the chimney. When purchasing, you should immediately clarify the equipment of the unit so that you do not have to urgently look for the necessary components.

In addition, additional costs will arise for concluding a warranty agreement.

It is not recommended to neglect this action, since subsequently you can spend a much higher amount on repairs.

NOTE!

Many users rely on their own skills and knowledge, intending to repair the boiler themselves. It must be remembered that unauthorized actions with gas equipment may entail administrative liability.
