Overview of popular models of gas boilers from Ferroli

European manufacturers of gas boilers are rightfully considered the leaders among all world companies engaged in the production of heating devices.

The only drawback of most models is the high price, which limits the possibilities of users from some countries, including Russia.

Some companies meet their customers halfway and create a series of economy-class boilers that are available to a wide buyer, but do not lose their quality and efficiency.

Ferroli, which produces such model lines, strives to adapt the equipment to the conditions of the operating country as much as possible and provide users with the opportunity to receive high-quality advanced equipment.

Consider a series of wall-mounted boilers Ferroli Domiproject.

About company

Today Ferroli is engaged in the design, development and production of heating equipment. The history of the company begins in 1955, when the Ferroli brothers produced the first gas-fired boiler. Starting from a modest workshop, the company has grown to an industrial group that unites factories in Europe, China, Turkey. In terms of production and sales, the company ranks 5-6th among manufacturers of heating equipment.

Benefits

• Automated control. Owners of Italian equipment do not need to turn knobs, set the temperature or other parameters - the setting is done automatically. Adjusting modes allows you to save fuel.
• Self-diagnosis. To find out what problems the device has detected in its "body", its owner only needs instructions - to decipher the error codes. This is very valuable for non-technical users.
• Adaptation to the harsh operating conditions typical for Russia - low temperatures in winter, pressure drops in gas and water supply pipes, poor water quality, power surges. The manufacturer claims that the service life of its equipment is 40 years or more.
• Installation is quick and easy. It is advisable to call a specialist - he knows how to set up the device and how to carry out the first launch. He will also regulate the gas flow, ignition, connect the temperature sensors - external and internal, set the program.
• Adjustment and start-up after the initial setting will be corrected automatically.
• High efficiency and economical fuel consumption.

More information about the production process of Ferroli boilers can be seen in the following video.

Device

The models presented by the manufacturer differ in power, size, installation method, but they all consist of the same type of constituent elements:

• Heat exchanger - for the circulation of the heat carrier.
• Burner - heats the outer surface of the radiator.
• Gas valve.
• Smoke extraction system.
• Automatic block.
• Safety system.

How to choose?

Before choosing a specific model, you need to consider the technical characteristics in order to understand how the proposed options differ:

• Location. Users can choose the outdoor or wall-mounted option. Floor installation is usually done when a large area needs to be heated. The main difference between floor models is high power and bulkiness. It is advisable to assign a separate room for these impressive devices. The hinged version is used mainly in apartments and low-rise private houses of the corresponding area.
• The number of contours. The consumer is offered - a double-circuit hinged or floor version. Two circuits make it possible to use the equipment not only for heating, but also for hot water supply. Single-circuit ones are connected only to the heating system, with the exception of modifications with boilers - built-in or separately installed indirect heaters.
• The principle of work. Versions with atmospheric burners have a simple operation scheme, which means that they are unpretentious, and their price is low. Condensing equipment has a closed combustion chamber, air is forced into it - efficiency increases, gas is consumed more economically. But such versions - with a closed chamber, need power supply.
• Heat exchanger. Steel - high performance and heat dissipation, suitable for industrial applications. Cast iron - they are inferior in efficiency, but they win in reliability and durability.

Start-up and operating instructions

The boiler is installed in a hinged way inside or outside, in a partially protected place (shed) with a temperature of at least -5 °. All communications are connected in accordance with their purpose.

It is necessary to carefully monitor the accuracy of the pipeline connection, in particular pay attention to the tightness and tightness of the gas line connection... Then, using the make-up valve, the system is filled with water, controlling the process according to the data of the manometer.

Do not pour water into a hot boiler, this will cause the heat exchanger to crack. It is no longer possible to fill in water to a value of 1 bar due to the risk of rupture of the heat exchanger during thermal expansion of the liquid.

The boiler starts up when the required coolant temperature is entered on the display. The command to start the burner is passed and the boiler starts to perform the task.

After that, you can dial the required value of the DHW temperature.

During operation, do not try to repair or readjust the functions of the boiler yourself, this may cause destruction or gas leakage..

Any problems that arise should be eliminated only with the participation of specialists from the service center.

What are the Ferroli boilers?

Suspended condensing

Such devices clearly demonstrate the quality and advantages of Ferroli products. Their efficiency is 109%. The thermal energy of the steam generated by the combustion of the gas is used. The heated flue gases provide additional heat, which is used for operation, rather than being pushed into the chimney, as is the case with conventional designs. Distinguish between single and double-circuit condensing units with a closed furnace. Their characteristics:

• Fuel is economical. Flame modulation. Automatic regulation of gas supply - depends on the set mode and weather.
• Thanks to the control system, you can set the heating level of the dwelling - taking into account the time of day, for a week in advance.Some modifications have outlets for "warm floors". Automatic regulation of heating of the coolant in two circuits - each has its own temperature.
• Dependence on electricity. Due to voltage surges, the microprocessor board burns out. If the voltage drops in the network, the equipment turns off, you have to turn it on again. This is perhaps the main drawback of Ferroli products.
• Operates at reduced gas pressure.
• The heat carrier can be water or antifreeze (non-freezing liquid).

Wall mounted with atmospheric burner

The classic design is an open combustion chamber. Air is supplied to the burner from the room - through the natural movement of air masses. The main plus is constructive simplicity. Cons - gas consumption is higher than that of condensing counterparts, and the productivity is lower.

Installation does not cause problems. The device is equipped with all the necessary units that ensure the operation of the system - a circulation pump, an expansion tank, a gas valve. Ignition - electric or piezo.

Outdoor atmospheric

Non-volatile boilers are presented in different modifications, among which the Pegasus models are especially popular, which differ from their counterparts in such technical details:

• Cast iron heat exchanger. Insulated and shielded.
• By making some changes in the operation of the device, you can use liquefied gas as a fuel.
• Some floor-standing versions are equipped with a built-in boiler - after opening the tap, hot water flows - immediately, without delay.
• Power consumption is regulated.
• There is self-diagnosis - the display shows encrypted information about breakdowns and malfunctions. Equipment operation and repair is simplified - with an error code, you can immediately learn about the nature of the problem and perform the necessary maintenance.
• Safety is ensured by thermostats and a safety valve.
• The device is combined into a single system with all heating equipment. Automation will control the operation of all devices.
• "Pegasus" is completed additionally - if the buyer wishes, with thermal sensors and a remote control.

Advantages and disadvantages of the model

The advantages of the Ferroli Fortuna F24 PRO boilers include:

• Manufactured specifically for use in Russian conditions.
• The ability to provide a home with both heat and hot water.
• Low noise level during operation.
• Economical fuel consumption.
• High quality of all units and parts, the design is developed on the basis of advanced technological methods.

It is customary to refer to the disadvantages:

• Boiler volatility. It is necessary to correctly connect all electrodes, be sure to have grounding, it is recommended to use a voltage stabilizer.
• The need for regular service.
• Illiterate adjustment of the gas valve causes increased fuel consumption.

IMPORTANT!

The disadvantages of gas boilers Ferroli Fortuna F24 PRO are more or less characteristic of most models of European units and can be considered specific design features.

Main series

At Ferroli, each type of gas boiler is represented by several series at once:

• Wall mounted. Domina-N, Diva, Divatop Micro, Arena, Domiproject-D and others. Perhaps the most common type. Affordable price and simple design. The most popular is Arena. She has 2 circuits. The primary heat exchanger is copper, the secondary one is made of stainless steel. The complete set uses parts from other companies - for example, a valve from Siemens.
• Outdoor. Atlas and Pegasus in different modifications - 56, 2S, F3N2S, D, DK. Cast iron radiators, with mounted or atmospheric burners. Electric ignition. You can connect a boiler. Reliable protection system - smoke exhaust control, sensors of various types, bimetallic indicators.
• Condensing. Econcept Tech, Energy Top and others. Save 30% gas.

Description of types

The Ferroli Domiproject series boilers are all wall-mounted and have a double-circuit design.The difference between them lies only in the type of combustion chamber and the power of the unit.

By the type of burner design, Ferroli Domiproject boilers are:

• Atmospheric (open)... The air required for the combustion process is supplied directly from the room. The smoke is discharged through a vertical chimney by means of a natural stove-type draft. Such boilers are sensitive to external conditions, the direction and strength of the wind, the presence of drafts, etc.
• Turbocharged (closed)... The combustion chamber does not communicate with the atmosphere of the dwelling, and the air is supplied using a turbocharger fan. It simultaneously supplies air and removes flue gases from the boiler.... Units of this type are more stable and safer, resistant to external influences and not affected by weather conditions. In addition, they do not need to be connected to a communal chimney, removing smoke through a coaxial structure that simultaneously draws in air and removes the smoke.
