Technical characteristics, instructions and an overview of gas boilers Ariston

About company

The Ariston brand is the brainchild of Vittorio Merloni. His father, Aristide, founded a small business back in the 30s of the last century. Today, this enterprise has become the largest industrial giant, uniting several large companies. Concern Merloni Elettrodomestici in 2005 was renamed Indesit Company, which includes several brands, including Ariston. The company ranks third in the world in terms of sales of household appliances.

Who makes Ariston washing machines

In household appliances stores, customers often ask consultants who are the manufacturers and where Ariston cars are assembled. The question is quite logical, because the quality, and hence the durability of household appliances, depends on the manufacturer. Most often in our stores you can find cars, the country of origin of which is the Russian Federation.

Let's dig deeper into history - some facts:

• In 1930, the company founded by Aristide Merloni began to manufacture scales.
• In 1945 the company found its place in the niche of electric water heaters. In the same year, the Ariston brand appeared.

• Ariston is translated from Greek as “successful”. As you call the ship, so it will float - in this case, the proverb fully justifies its existence.
• In the 70s, the company was divided into three companies, of which Elettrodomestici took up household appliances.
• By the end of the 80s, Elettrodomestici started mass production.
• In 1975, the first factory was opened in Italy under the name Indesit, producing appliances for home and everyday life. Already in the 80s, the Indesit technique became recognizable in Europe, so Vittorio Merloni, the owner of Elettrodomestici, decided to buy out the brand.

• In the late 90s, Merloni decided to buy the French Scholtes, after which he acquired the British Hotpoint, thus entering three markets at once - French, English and Irish.
• In the mid-2000s, the Indesit brand became so famous that it was decided to rename the Elettrodomestici company to Indesit Company.
• A representative office of the company was opened in the Russian Federation in the mid-90s. Domestic markets accepted the products with a bang.
• In 2000, Merloni bought out Lipetsk, which also began to produce equipment under the Indesit brand.

• In 2004, the first plant in Russia was launched.

• After that, the brand had to be renamed, but this did not happen in every country. In Russia, cars and other equipment from "Merloni" now bear a double name - Hotpoint Ariston.

As a result, Merloni now owns 4 large brands: Hotpoint, Stinol, Indesit and Ariston. In Russia, these brands are the undoubted leaders.

Now you know whose production these washing machines have. But where the washing machine is made does not affect its functionality, the availability of advanced technologies and the general principles of manufacturing. Only the build quality can suffer, but this is for the experts to judge.

Advantages and disadvantages

Italian boilers are able to operate smoothly even at a pressure of 5 mbar and at a temperature of minus 52 ° C. They are equipped with two mechanical filters that purify the water. The developers took into account almost all the dangers for gas equipment in high-risk conditions.

Each model is equipped with a self-diagnosis system that simplifies their operation and maintenance. Security systems prevent emergencies by timely stopping the operation of the device. Self-diagnosis is periodically repeated - if the parameters are normal, the device will start without human assistance. Pros of Ariston:

• Absolute safety - despite explosive fuels.
• High efficiency. After the combustion of the gas, almost no combustion products remain - all the heating goes to heating.

Minuses:

• Floor standing equipment should be located in a separate room.
• To eliminate pressure surges, an additional adjustment unit has to be installed.

Features of condensing boilers

Simple wall-mounted models of Ariston gas boilers cost 16,000 - 32,000 rubles. The cost of condensing boilers ranges from 40,000 to 45,000 rubles.

This price is due to their high environmental friendliness, significant efficiency, profitable operation. Their work is characterized by high efficiency and low maintenance costs.

Condensing boilers are equipped with a modulating pump and fan, depending on the load level. As a result, energy is saved and noise is reduced.

What do Ariston products have in common?

Traditional gas heaters are available in nine lines - each of them contains a different number of modifications - from 2 to 7. The lines are single-circuit and double-circuit versions. Some have a wide range of capacities, others consist of 2-3 options. All traditional Ariston models are distinguished by the following features:

• Automatic control. All modifications have the "auto" function - the intelligent unit selects the optimal modes by itself, taking into account changing conditions.

• Can work with a conventional or coaxial chimney.

• Russified control panel. Its logic is intuitive - you don't even need an instruction manual to figure it out.

• Burner material - stainless steel. Its power is modulated taking into account the given mode. This solution saves gas.

• Self-diagnosis.

• Hydraulic devices are made of high-strength composite materials.

• Expansion tank - 8 liters.

• Automatic removal of air from the heating system.

• Protective systems - from blocking, scale, freezing.

• The double-circuit device has a copper heat exchanger - primary, and from a stainless steel - secondary, for heating domestic water.

• In 2-circuit versions, a "summer" mode is provided - operation only on hot water supply.

• Condensate container.

• Temperature sensors - 2-4 pieces, depending on the series.

• High quality sound insulation. Virtually silent operation.

• Included - instruction manual. All documentation is presented in Russian.

• Warranty - 2 years. For condensing versions - 3 years.

• Average dimensions 70x42x60 cm - this is slightly larger than that of competitors.

The models of each line have distinctive design and technical solutions. Also, models may differ in functionality, dimensions, design.

Specificity of double-circuit models Ariston

The presence of a double-circuit mechanism means the combination of the functions of heating and hot water supply. The group of Ariston double-circuit gas boilers usually includes three series:

• Genus,
• Egis,
• Clas.

Genus

The most functional and outwardly attractive boilers are Ariston

Genus. They are equipped with high performance primary and secondary heat exchangers.

The fan has a smooth speed control. The boilers are equipped with a modern control system with a large LCD display.

Egis

Egis boilers are attractive in design and compactness. They are distinguished by an intelligent control system and high efficiency. The AristonEgis boiler is equipped with two heat exchangers, a unique hydraulic group and a digital display.

It can function under conditions of reduced gas pressure, low pressure and water flow. Safe operation is assured by many functions, including self-diagnostics. There are filters, mechanical water purification.

Clas

The Ariston Clas gas boiler has won fame as the most practical and economical of all Ariston boilers. It has two heat exchangers that are securely separated. The combustion chamber is turbocharged and closed.

The boiler is equipped with a pump of increased power, an expansion tank, a digital display.

Heats an area of ​​230 m2. Weighs 30 kg. Price - from 26,000 rubles.

What are they?

By installation method:

• Wall-mounted - it is compact, has a copper heat exchanger (less often - steel). It is completed with strapping elements. Mounted on a flat wall. Mounted models are more sensitive to unstable parameters of gas and water supply.
• Floor standing units are more powerful, heavier and larger in size. They need a large enough area. They are mounted on the floor - on a stand. Manufacturing material - cast iron. Power - up to 64,000 watts. This heating capacity is enough to heat an area of ​​up to 500 square meters.

By the number of contours:

• Single-circuit - they work only for heating the room.
• Double-circuit - heats the house and heats water for domestic use.

By the type of combustion chamber and thrust:

• Open firebox (natural draft) - combustion air comes from the room. Such a device is atmospheric.
• Closed chamber (forced draft) - the principle of operation is based on forced ventilation. This is a turbocharged version.

Gas boilers with a thermal power of 24 kW

Ariston gas boilers are available with different heat outputs, starting from 24 kW (the most optimal choice). Here are some models with this power:

1. Wall mounted gas boiler Ariston BS II 24 CF has compact dimensions, low weight, two separate heat exchangers, an original hydraulic group. Its individual advantages:

Cost 22,500 - 27,600 rubles.

How to choose?

To choose gas equipment for heating a private house or apartment, you cannot act intuitively - you need a calculation of heat loss. For the calculation, the condition is taken that for 10 sq.m. area (height up to 3 m) should have 1000 watts. But this is just a rough estimate. It is not recommended to select an option without a margin, so that the device does not have to operate at the maximum of its resources. It is also necessary to take into account the degree of insulation of the house.

A more accurate calculation is ordered by construction and design companies. The cost of such services depends on the region and is 2,000-7,000 rubles. Calculation errors can provoke:

• uneven distribution of heat in rooms;

• shortage of hot water.

Operation and maintenance

You should find out from the instructions what the pressure in the expansion tank should be - as it may drop during operation. It is recommended to check the pressure once a year. Periodically follows:

• check filters, if necessary - clean;

• cleaning the heat exchangers - this is especially important for hard water;

• change the corresponding gaskets.

The above activities, as well as installation, configuration and first start-up are the task of the service technicians. The owner only needs to conclude an appropriate service agreement and follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the operation of the device. A specialist should be called twice a year - you cannot start the heating season without an inspection. At the end of the season, you also need to invite a service worker.

Double-circuit wall-mounted gas boiler: reviews and customer advice

This option is somewhat more interesting than the one described above. This is partly due to the fact that they have been produced not so long ago, and therefore almost all models are equipped with the latest equipment. Nevertheless, we can say that such units have a large number of complex electronics. On the one hand, this ensures the accuracy of operation, but on the other hand, the devices are extremely dependent on DC voltage. Outages in the network can adversely affect modern equipment and render it unusable. This is evidenced by consumer reviews. But this problem can be fought. For example, install a rectifier in order to connect a boiler through it.

The dimensions of the wall-mounted boiler are small, so everything that is in the body is made either of a special material, or the unit is equipped with low-power equipment. For example, all pipes there are thin-walled and very sensitive to water quality. By the way, antifreeze can be used as a coolant - this is the main advantage that a double-circuit wall-mounted gas boiler has. Customer reviews indicate that such systems heat the room much more efficiently. As for the power of these boilers, it is indeed somewhat lower than those installed on the floor. Nevertheless, the efficiency in most cases is not less, and sometimes even more. It is ideal for medium to small spaces. Now let's go through the manufacturers.

The user just needs to read the instructions to figure out how to use the device. It is important to follow the operating rules and to carry out seasonal maintenance in a timely manner. In the event of a malfunction, an error code appears on the display indicating the cause of the malfunction or the problem that has occurred. Complete with gas equipment - instruction, passport and connection diagram.

Choosing a gas appliance for heating

Ariston products can be found in catalogs. There are many models of gas appliances. The main mistakes when choosing the wrong unit are made from a lack of information. Therefore, before visiting the store, you should familiarize yourself with the basic tips for choosing a wall-mounted gas appliance.

When choosing a boiler, take into account the following points:

• The size of the kitchen, as the place where the heating device is most often installed. In the store, the choice begins with considering the overall dimensions of the device and selects it individually for your kitchen.
• Next, they go to the technical data and study the type of water heater in the apparatus. If there are a large number of people in the family, then it is not recommended to purchase a boiler with an instantaneous water heater.
• In this case, it is more rational to purchase a boiler with a storage tank for hot water. and select equipment for the amount of water that you will need for everyday use.
• The combustion chamber of the gas equipment is evaluated. It can be closed and open. It is recommended to choose a boiler with a closed chamber, due to the fact that it is safer in operation. The presence of a chimney is optional, which is important in multi-storey buildings. Enough to buy and bring out a coaxial pipe.

How to fix?

When installing, you need to take into account the following points:

• Anchor bolts are used for fastening. Installed on any wall - blank or load-bearing. Wall material - brick, aerated concrete blocks, reinforced concrete slabs.
• The piping is carried out according to the instructions. The data sheet describes in detail the purpose of all conclusions. Cut-off valves are placed directly in front of the apparatus. Purification filters and a pressure relief valve are installed at the water supply point.
• Most Ariston models are equipped with a coaxial chimney - exhaust gases are removed through an opening in the wall.
• Additionally, the equipment is completed with a circulation pump.
• Control unit - regulation of hot water and heating medium temperature.
• Ariston models are non-volatile, therefore, the instruction prescribes the mandatory installation of the UPS.

Instrument selection

When choosing a device, you must be guided by the following criteria:

• The area of ​​the heated room in m 2. It is necessary to choose a boiler at the rate of 1 kW of thermal power per 10 m 2 of the room.It should be understood that this is an ideal option, and taking into account the heat loss of the dwelling, the average annual air temperatures at the installation site and the radiators used, a correction factor must be entered. For a preliminary estimate, we advise you to use any online calculator that takes into account the above factors, and also introduces corrections for the location of the walls (windward or not), the height of the ceilings, and the type of windows.
• The need for hot water. For high consumption, it is reasonable to choose the CLAS B model with a built-in boiler, which is more economical.
• Boiler installation location. For water heaters with an open combustion chamber, it is necessary to equip the room with forced ventilation, since the combustion air comes directly from the room. Since devices with an open combustion chamber are designed to remove combustion products through a chimney with natural draft, it is necessary to provide a place for the installation of the chimney and chimneys.
