Ferroli heating boiler technical characteristics. Types of Ferroli gas boilers and recommendations for their operation. Boilers from Ferroli

For heating suburban or country house The Ferroli Zeus electric boiler is perfect. This heating equipment is produced by an Italian company. Ferroli compares favorably with other manufacturers: the power of the equipment, various small models that operate on a 220V network, and efficient boilers that can heat 280 sq.m.

Features of Ferroli Zeus electric boilers

Ferroli Zeus electric boilers are manufactured with a power of 6 to 9 kW for heating a house with an area of no more than 100 sq.m. For larger areas, an electric boiler with a power of 12 to 28 kW is used.

Depending on the type of connection, Ferroli Zeus electric boilers can be:

Single phase 220V. Up to 9 kW inclusive;
Three-phase 380V. Over 12 kW.

Under the control of Italian specialists, electrical Ferroli boilers Zews are manufactured in a factory in China. The barcode on the 693 equipment indicates these nuances. This assembly is a disadvantage of this equipment, since not everyone trusts the Chinese assembly. The cost of electric boilers is considerable, and if they were assembled in Italy, the amount would be enormous. Therefore, the Chinese assembly, to some extent, can be a positive thing.

Electrical and installation requirements

Heating equipment can only be adjusted under the supervision of a qualified specialist - an electrician, who may be authorized to work with a three-phase electrical network.

In order for the electric boiler to operate stably and without interruptions, it is necessary to take into account some recommendations:

If the electric boiler is connected to a voltage of 220V, then it must be connected through a separate machine. It should be highlighted in the shield.
IN electric boilers Ferroli Zeus automation does not respond well to voltage surges. Therefore, to increase the service life, you need to install an uninterruptible power supply.
Thanks to the installed automatic circuit breakers, grounding and RCD are provided safe work systems.

To connect to a three-phase power supply, you need to use a separate power cable. The instructions for use specify the cross-sectional standards and requirements for the wire.

Using an indirect heating boiler, DHW is supplied. Thermal energy during heating of water, which is necessary for the heating system, it is temporarily sent to the BKN. The rated output should be 10-15% greater than the output of a boiler with an electric boiler.

Design of Ferroli Zews electric boilers

Zeus electric boilers are single-circuit, that is, they are designed only for heating the house. But you can connect an external indirect heating boiler to the electric boiler for hot water.

The electric boiler is equipped with a built-in air and water temperature sensor. But in order to monitor and control the operation of the boiler depending on the temperature in the house, you need to purchase a separate remote room thermostat. In addition, you can connect weather-compensated automation. To do this, you need to install an outdoor temperature sensor. The electric boiler has a special connector for connecting such a sensor. With weather-compensating automation, you can save on energy costs.

Part electric boiler Ferrols include the following elements:

Electronic board.
Heat exchanger with heating elements made of copper.
Expansion membrane tank volume 10 l.
Safety valve.
Hydrogroup made of copper.
Circulation pump, which has three speeds, with an automatic air vent.

Using a large information LCD display, you can control the parameters of the heating system and water supply system:

System pressure.
Water temperature in the indirect heating boiler and in the heating circuit.
Electricity consumption.
If there are any faults, an error is displayed.

In addition to the information LCD display, the front panel of the electric boiler has built-in on/off buttons, a “winter-summer” function and a thermomanometer. The winter-summer function promotes energy consumption depending on the time of year. An electric boiler can operate in “warm floor” mode at the required temperature.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of Ferroli Zeus electric boilers include the following:

Excellent quality of spare parts and components.
Large selection of models with different power.
Availability of an informative LCD display.
Lots of different modern features.
Technical support via hotline at any time of the day.
You can use non-freezing liquid in the heating system.

But there are also some disadvantages:

Quite a price.
The electric boiler does not include a room thermostat, so additional costs will be required.
Chinese assembly.

Based on the technical characteristics of Ferroli Zeus electric boilers, we can conclude that such heating equipment meets all the requirements for devices of this type. The main disadvantage of such boilers is their high cost. That is why there are not often reviews about this heating equipment on the Internet.

Today we will look at the types of gas heaters Italian manufacturer Ferroli. Thus, there are two types of Ferroli boilers: wall-mounted and floor-mounted. Units that are suspended are also divided into two groups - conventional and condensing. The latter are characterized by high efficiency.

Wall-mounted gas boilers Ferroli

Wall heater from the Italian company Ferroli.

Ferrol wall-mounted boilers are available in different configurations and power, so you can choose a unit according to your requirements and budget. The first characteristic is the number of circuits. Thus, heaters can work not only to heat water in the heating system, but also simultaneously supply the house with hot water. Accordingly, single-circuit and double-circuit boilers are distinguished.

The second aspect is the type of combustion chamber and its configuration. The combustion chamber can be open or sealed. Open combustion chambers, just like a regular stove burner, burn out the air from the room (there is no fire without oxygen). Sealed chambers draw in air from the street through a special chimney called.

A heat exchanger (one or two) is installed in the combustion chamber. One heat exchanger (bithermal) is a pipe within a pipe into which pipes are embedded for separate smoke removal. The heat exchanger is made of copper. If there are two heat exchangers, then they are separated from each other. The primary one is made of copper, and the secondary one is made of stainless steel.

The richer the equipment, the more expensive it is to repair Ferroli gas boilers.

Complete set of Ferroli gas boilers according to the instructions:

heat exchanger (one or two);
gas valve– Siemens or HoneyWell;
three-speed Wilo;
smoke exhaust pipes – separate smoke removal system;
Control block.

There are models with and without a liquid crystal display. The display shows information about the operating parameters of the heater and errors that occur during operation. The display lights up blue. The DivaTop 60 model is available with a built-in 6o liter boiler.

The efficiency of a Ferroli wall-mounted heating boiler of any model is approximately 93%. Minimum power 7.2 kW, maximum – 40 kW. The unit heats the coolant for high-temperature heating systems to 85 degrees, and water for hot water supply to 55 degrees. Boilers operate on natural and liquefied gas. The nominal energy consumption is indicated in the passport for each model. The gas inlet pressure must be at least 20 mbar for natural gas and 37 mbar for liquefied gas.

Ferroli floor heaters

The inflatable burner needs to be purchased separately.

Floor-standing cast iron boilers are available with a built-in or removable (inflatable) burner. First, let's look at models with a built-in burner. The equipment of the simplest boilers (up to 1 thousand Euros) is very modest:

single stage burner;
heat exchanger made of cast iron;
gas valve HoneyWell or Sit;
connectors for additional equipment (pump, thermostat).

Boilers priced from 1 thousand euros, in addition to the standard set, are equipped with a display, connectors for connecting a three-way valve, a boiler pump, outdoor temperature sensors, and boiler sensors. Thanks to this set of options, the heater can independently control the degree of heating of the coolant according to weather conditions. The equipment for each model is indicated in the operating instructions for the Ferroli boiler.

Units over 2 thousand Euros, for example Pegasus-DK, have a built-in 130-liter boiler and a 12-liter expansion tank, two pumps, and a magnesium anode installed in the boiler. A magnesium anode is needed to prevent the boiler tank from rusting. This consumables, the anode must be changed periodically (as it splits). Heaters for 3 thousand Euros (Pegasus 2S and PegasusF3 N2S) have the same equipment as the cheapest models, with the exception of the burner - in expensive units it is two-stage. This allows you to expand the range of boiler power adjustment.

If any problems arise during the operation of the Ferroli gas boiler, a fault code is displayed on the liquid crystal display.

The peculiarity of boilers with a removable inflatable heating pad is that they can operate on both gas and diesel fuel, it depends on the type of burner:

for gas – Sun M;
for diesel - Sun G.

In the Atlas heater, instead of an external inflatable burner, you can connect an internal one or two-stage gas burner. In a rich configuration, for example, Atlas DK, there is a built-in 10-liter expansion tank and a 100- or 130-liter boiler, two pumps, and a liquid crystal display. The external inflatable burner is not included and is supplied separately.

Ferroli condensing boilers

All condensing boilers have a closed combustion chamber.

If you look through the operating instructions for the Ferroli gas boiler, you will see the following differences among the condensing units:

number of heat exchangers – one or two;
heat exchanger material – stainless steel or aluminum;
burner material – ceramics or steel;
presence of a boiler;
presence of an air separator.

All heaters have display, bypass and built-in modeling or three-speed circulation pump(except for the Energy Top W model - it does not have a pump). Condensing boilers have an efficiency of 109%. The minimum power is 2.1 kW, and the maximum is 79.5 kW. Prices range from 730 to 3000 Euros.

Ferroli gas boilers have earned the trust of consumers and are now positioned as high-quality equipment from Europe. The company itself is one of the world's leading manufacturers of heating equipment.

In a private home, Ferroli boilers always provide the most modern indicators in terms of performance, reliability (time between failures) and user friendliness (ergonomics, noise, convenience...).

What is Ferroli - history

The boiler manufacturing company was founded by the Ferroli brothers in 1955 in the Italian city of San Bonifacio (Verona). The first order is the supply of gas steel boilers for municipal houses in Verona.
Later, thanks to perseverance and resourcefulness, the creators managed to significantly expand the company and turn it into a leading manufacturer.

In 1962, Ferroli introduced cast iron boilers to the market, for the production of which an automated casting process was created.
In 1967, an automatic production line was put into operation cast iron radiators on new automatic lines.
1973 - a plant for the production of steel and aluminum radiators,… etc.

Now Ferroli assembly plants are located in Italy, Germany, Spain... The company supplies lines of modern equipment:

heating boilers;
climate systems;
showers;
radiators and heating equipment;
electric motors.

Features of the most economical condensing boilers

In Europe, condensing boilers are required by law. Since these devices save energy resources and pollute the environment less.

In the technical characteristics of a condensing boiler you can find that the efficiency is estimated to be more than 100%. This technical nonsense occurs because the boiler uses the energy of the phase transition of water from steam to liquid. This energy is not taken into account when determining the calorific value of fuel combustion. This results in fuel savings of 10–25%, depending on the ability to fully use low-temperature heating.

The fact is that the boiler will operate in super-economical mode only at low coolant temperatures - the heating system in the house must be appropriate. You can learn more about such heating on this resource...

In addition to collecting energy from water vapor, other innovations were used in Ferroli condensing boilers: best automation, weather-dependent control, latest materials and equipment...

But it is precisely in our conditions that the increased price makes them weakly competitive, and the reason is low energy prices...

Modern models of Ferroli gas boilers

In the recent past, the Domiproject-D and Divatech-D gas boiler models have been popular among consumers. Now they have been replaced by model ranges called Diva, Domina and others. But probably these lines of gas heating equipment of European quality will be replaced by more advanced models in the near future... After all, the company shows dynamic development and is constantly updating its model range.

More often, Ferroli offers double-circuit boiler options, where hot water is prepared in a second additional heat exchanger.

Power is presented in a wide range, for example, wall-mounted automated gas heat generators can easily cover the heating needs of private houses and apartments. A power step of 4 kW will allow you to select the right option in the model range -...20 kW, - 24, 28, 32...

Open and closed combustion chamber

The design features of the modern model range of heating boilers from Ferroli are the ability to purchase the same model with either an open or a closed combustion chamber. Options with an open chamber are indicated in their names by an additional letter “C”. The option with a closed (forced) burner is marked as “F”.

Consumers often ask which boiler is better - with an open or closed burner. The answer is known - both are good for their conditions. An atmospheric open burner operates under the influence of chimney draft, takes air from the room, it can only be placed in a special combustion chamber, with a regulated flow of fresh air, and a high chimney that creates the necessary draft.

A boiler with a closed forced combustion chamber can be located in any non-residential room, for example, in the kitchen, and the air will move through the burner under the action of a fan along the same double pipeline - fresh from the street, and exhaust gases back.

Line of wall-mounted boilers Domina-N

The Domina-N model has a copper heat exchanger with a particularly resistant coating, for which the longest duration of trouble-free operation is declared.

Modulating burner, changing the heating power and DHW floor microprocessor controlled. Available low-noise injection burner made of of stainless steel AISI 304.

Diva

The Ferroli Diva line, like other modern models, is equipped with a copper heat exchanger coated with an aluminum alloy coating, which is considered very resistant to thermo-chemical aggression. Information liquid crystal display, high degree of automation and self-diagnosis. As well as other achievements modern technologies used on Ferroli boilers:

electric ignition without igniter;
frost protection system;
protection against water hammer;
And much more.

Divatop Micro

The Divatop Micro line is a small wall-mounted boiler that incorporates the latest innovations. Programming for a long period of operation is provided.

possibility of connecting a Romeo remote control;
possibility to connect Oscar room programmer device;
Possibility of operation on both liquefied and natural gas (subject to the use of a special kit).
And also all other achievements of the company...

Reviews of what they say about Ferroli boilers

Boilers of this brand have been in use for a long time; many reviews have appeared, which mainly indicate that we are talking about high-quality European equipment.

First of all, note:

general ergonomics meeting the most modern high requirements;
the use of parts and materials of the highest quality from other leading global manufacturers. For example, there is a valve from Siemens...;
comparatively quiet operation;
long maintenance-free service life, reliability.

Negative reviews about Ferolia boilers that can be found are mainly associated with low gas quality and unstable power supply:

high gas consumption - but it is equally high in both gas stove, for heating the kettle;
the burner ignites with a popping sound, and it is difficult to ignite the gas on the stove...;
failure of the electronics - turning on the boiler without a protective voltage stabilizer, which the trading organization warns about, and without which it does not provide a guarantee for the equipment...

Ferroli boilers - Experts answer questions

Question:

The Ferroli Domiproject f24 boiler worked fine for a year. Then it began to work intermittently. It works for a few seconds, goes out and lights up again, and so on all the time. Both during heating operation and during DHW operation. I checked the chimney system, everything is fine. Replacing the pressure switch did nothing. I removed the plugs on the top cover of the boiler, but it didn’t help. When I remove the sealed chamber cover, it works fine. What
could there be a reason?

Answer:

If the boiler does not show any error and the voltage is more than 200 volts, then the heating heat exchanger is most likely clogged. You can check by connecting the heating sensor for a few minutes in the air or, easier, by reducing the gas with a tap in front of the boiler. If the burning interval has increased, then flushing is necessary.

Question:

The Ferroli Domiproject f 24 boiler cannot cope, the coolant temperature does not rise above 40, and the potentiometer reads 70. The heated area is 70 m2. And it's 12 degrees in the room. What should be done?

Answer:

This means there is not enough flow. Here's what you need to do: check the return filter, check the pump power and find out if the main heat exchanger is clogged.

Question:

When the heating system is turned off, the pressure in the system drops to 0 (approximately in a day to 0.5 with the ECO turned off; or to 0 with the ECO turned on in a few hours) and the hot water supply accordingly also turns off. I add water. After a while the pressure drops again. When the heating is on, the pressure does not drop or does not drop very noticeably. Recharge once every 1-2 months.

Answer:

First of all you need expansion tank pump it with nitrogen - air up to 0.8 Bar - with the pressure on the water pressure gauge in the boiler = 0. And then look for a leak, check the blast valve to see if water is leaving it.

Question:

After installing the Ferroli Domiproject 24 boiler, the hot water pressure was almost at the pressure level cold water. Six months later the pressure dropped. What could be the reasons? If this is scale formation in the secondary heat exchanger, then what should I wash it with and how, as well as how to avoid scale formation?

Answer:

This boiler does not have a secondary heat exchanger, it is bithermic, and scale forms in it winter mode, especially when the flow sensor is not working and there is a leak DHW water. You can wash it with sulfamide acid, for example, or hydrochloric acid.

Question:

Please tell me, if the boiler has completely gone out, nothing is burning or turning on, although the 220 board comes with the fuses and varistor intact, what burned out?

Answer:

Switching power supply on the board.

Question:

The Ferolli boiler worked normally for 2 weeks, after the technician arrived from the service center for the first start-up, the hot water caught fire and blew out a flame. If I tighten the gas valve, it works fine. The heating works normally even with the gas tap fully open. How to fix it?

Answer:

If you can adjust the gas valve yourself, the instructions describe the procedure quite well; if you are not sure, it is better to call a specialist again. You need to set the MAX on the gas valve - use the “reset” button to go to test mode, press the heating knob three times in MAX if the flame blows out with the key at 10 counterclockwise, and then use the “reset” button to go to test mode, adjust the power for heating and ignition using the heating temperature knob - heating power - water temperature knob - ignition. Procedure 5 minutes

Question:

Hello, I have a problem with the hot water supply: the ventilation hatches are regularly turned off; the ventilation hatches are already open and the heating turns off with the hatches closed; the pipe is clean; the fan works; and sometimes it displays the error: the draft sensor is faulty. What should I do?

Answer:

If everything is in order with the chimney, then the pressure switch needs to be checked.

Question:

Ferroli boiler in hot water supply mode. Periodically, in standby mode, the upper and lower LEDs begin to blink (simultaneously). When you turn on the hot water, after 3 minutes the burner goes out, although the burner on LED is on. Also, periodically, when hot water or heating is turned on, the upper and lower LEDs begin to flash alternately. ON-LiNE stabilizer with output inverter
sine wave and 220. The boiler has one heating season.

Answer:

First, check the dual temperature sensor.

Question:

The Ferroli Domiproject boiler was in operation for 1 month, it worked fine, and one night it began to make strange sounds similar to strong boiling (it was heard through a closed door). The unit was turned off until the morning, in the morning I checked the pump, the supply voltage (there is a stabilizer) - everything is normal. I started the boiler - the sound returned, I think scale had formed - I washed the heat exchanger, nothing helped - at a temperature of 40 and above, cacophony begins, if you open hot water, the sound disappears, when you close it, it appears again.

Answer:

Perhaps the return filter is clogged, low flow through the heat exchanger - the heating system.

Question:

When the heating circuit heats up above 55 degrees, the heat exchanger begins to make noise, as if it were boiling. Can high circulation in the heating circuit cause the temperature in the DHW to exceed? I set the temperature with the heating potentiometer from 45 to 60 degrees. For half an hour the boiler rose to temperature, then began to make hissing sounds, did not wait any longer, turned the knob to 55, the burner turned off.

I observed the parameters of the gas pressure, after a fire in the firebox, the pressure on the burner maximum, after about 10 seconds, drops to a minimum, so it burns for about five minutes, then it begins to add 10 pascals and stops. Somewhere at three millibars, it starts to make noise, works for another three minutes, then reaches a temperature of 55-60 degrees and turns off.

I cleaned the boiler (pump, heat exchanger, furnace, filter) - it didn’t help, then I set the lower gas pressure setting to 40% below the nameplate - the noise disappeared at 60 degrees. It’s a paradox: when you remove the lid of a closed combustion chamber, the boiler doesn’t make any noise. When you put it on, it starts to make noise. What could it be?

Answer:

Or scale in the heating circuit or some kind of dirt. You need to rinse it with a booster, if it helps, good, if it doesn’t help, install another heat exchanger or another boiler with separate heat exchangers.

Question:

I have the following problem. Ferroli boiler DOMIproject C24. When the hot water is turned off, the heating circuit circulation pump may not turn on. Does not turn on until the burner is ignited for heating. The water in the boiler boils and the red LED starts flashing. The boiler breaks down. This happens several times a day. How can you solve this problem yourself?

Answer:

Clean the DHW flow sensor.

Question:

2A fuses burn out on the Ferroli DOMIproject C24 boiler. What can be done?

Answer:

Fuses cannot burn just like that; you need to look for where the short circuit occurs that leads to the fuse burning out. First, check the operation of the pump.

Question:

I bought a Ferolli boiler and installed it. Uninterruptible power supply SMART APC 750. Hot the water is flowing no problem. When I turn on the heating, it displays the error “overheating protection has tripped.” The pump is not working. What to do?

Answer:

Unlock the pump shaft. If this does not help, connect the pump directly. If it does not work, replace the pump. If it doesn't help, pay for repairs.

Question:

There is such a problem. When the hot water is turned on, the Ferroli Domiproect F24 boiler periodically turns off the heating and then starts again. What could be the problem? The board has been replaced.

Answer:

It is necessary to adjust the operation of the gas valve - minimum power.

Question:

Tell me what could be. When I turn on the boiler, the red and yellow lights immediately turn on (they blink frequently, what could it be besides the sensor? And another related question, if you remove and bridge the contacts that go to the sensor, the blinking of the lights should stop, if the problem is in the sensor, am I thinking correctly or Am I wrong?

Answer:

If the error does not disappear by jumping the wires, the sensor must be replaced.

Question:

Ferroli DOMIcompact c24 boiler. Relieves pressure to 0. There are no leaks in the system. It seems to reset when the hot water is on. Cold water supply pressure is 2-3 atmospheres. The boiler worked for two years.

Answer:

There may be a breakdown between the circuits, and the pressure drops below the cold water supply pressure due to ejection. You most likely have a different problem! The expansion tank has lost air. The heating system cools down and the pressure drops when you turn on the DHW.

Question:

Tell me, is it possible to adjust the minimum pressure switch so that the boiler turns on at a pressure of 0.8 bar?

Answer:

There is an adjusting screw on the pressure sensor under the cap on top.

Question:

Ferroli Domicompact boiler C 24 kW. There is a problem. The chimney is clean, the water and gas pressure are normal, but the boiler works as it pleases. I set it to 45C and it heats up either normally or like crazy. Turns on at any time intervals. There is a leak from the make-up tap into the heating system, but after refilling I turn off the DHW supply and outlet taps. What do you advise?

Answer:

Repair the feed tap, check (replace) the NTC sensor. According to NTC data, the boiler turns on for heating. As t changes, the NTC resistance changes. If the readings are incorrect, then the boiler switching on is inadequate. Alternatively, you can check the variable on the board.

Question:

Ferroli domicompact F 24 boiler, 4.5 years. Last year the heat exchanger leaked. They called a repairman and he soldered it. This winter, another problem appeared: The heating temperature is set to 60 C, and the pipes heat up to 80 C. At the same time, the pressure goes off scale to 3.5 Bar. Or it drops to 0. Tell me what the problem is?

Answer:

Replace the NTC, bleed the volume compensator and perform preventative repairs.

Question:

The Ferroli Domicompact F24 boiler operates with the jumper removed room thermostat. The problem arose when I connected the thermostat (COMPUTHERM Q7 RF). For some time everything worked fine, then after opening the contacts in the thermostat receiver, the boiler continued to work as before. Depending on the position of the temperature regulator, heating occurs, heating is turned off, and the pump circulates water. Thermostat
connected correctly and works on short circuit-open circuit - checked by a tester.

Moreover, when to completely turn it off i.e. The jumper is removed, the boiler is working, the DHW regulator is in what position it is on off, it doesn’t matter - everything is the same. Sometimes after turning on the DHW it turns off and then (as expected) it works normally from the thermostat. Sometimes, after turning off the thermostat, it tries to start, but immediately turns off, this happens several times, after which the pump runs for 6 minutes and the boiler turns off. If possible, tell me what's the matter?

Answer:

Check the wires going from the board to the room thermostat connector. When the circuit is closed (or the thermostat has closed the contacts) - the boiler works for heating, when it is open - it waits for the contacts to close to turn on the heating.

Question:

There is such a problem: the Ferroli DomiCompact F24 boiler works perfectly from a 220V network, but when connecting a Leoton 500 watt converter, the gas does not ignite. What to do?

Answer:

Turn the fork over.

Question:

I have a Ferolli DOMIcompact C24 boiler. Everything was working fine, and then suddenly, when the heating of the apartment was turned on, the pressure on the boiler suddenly began to rise to 3 bar. To make it clearer: The boiler is not working - I set the pressure to 1 (I hear a clicking sound, the light stops blinking). I set the temperature to 40. The device starts up and begins to heat the water.

Literally, in 5 minutes the pressure sharply increases to 2.5 or more. (This was not the case before). I drain water from the system (through the return valve), thereby reducing the pressure. And I do this until the water heats up to the desired temperature. When the water has warmed up, I turn off the water from the tap and set the pressure to 2 bar. When the boiler operates constantly at this temperature and does not turn off (in winter), the pressure remains unchanged (sometimes increases slightly).

And when you turn off the heating of the heating system, the pressure drops below 1 and the device does not ignite. You have to open the feed tap and add water to increase the pressure to start the boiler. It's summer now and the heating system isn't working. I set the pressure to 1.5 to heat the water. This is how it has been for 2 months now. Tell me, what is the problem?

Answer:

The problem is the lack of air in the expansion tank.

Today a gas boiler is a necessary thing in every home. Every year, residents of our country have to deal with planned and unscheduled outages of hot water. And private houses and many new buildings, in general, are designed only for individual heating. As a result, sooner or later many of us have to think about purchasing a boiler or boiler. This article will talk about gas boilers Ferroli company. Let's talk about the types of heaters, their operation and possible breakdowns.

Kinds

Ferroli is an Italian company that produces various household appliances, from heaters to a variety of air conditioners. She first announced herself in the middle of the last century. Over the decades of its work, Ferroli has become an international company that has branches all over the world, including Russia. In our country, their products are known for their high quality and affordable price. Heaters are the main layer of equipment produced by the company. Basically, their varieties depend on the power source. Accordingly, they are:

gas;
electrical;
solid fuel;
diesel.

This article will focus on gas boilers. They, in turn, are also divided into subspecies according to their parameters. Let's take a closer look at them.

Single-circuit- the simplest version of boilers. Aimed exclusively at heating rooms. They are not capable of heating water, which means that in addition you will have to purchase other equipment. But single-circuit boilers have high reliability, which is ensured internal device. Its main elements include a heat exchanger, expansion tanks and circulation pumps.

Dual-circuit– solve the issue of purchasing additional equipment for heating water. This equipment is aimed at performing two tasks at once. These heaters are equipped with two heat exchangers. The water that circulates through the heat exchanger serves not only to heat the room, but also to provide hot water supply.

It is worth noting: a double-circuit boiler is in no way larger in size than a single-circuit boiler. But due to the complex structure, the level of reliability decreases. By the way, there is a bithermic subtype of double-circuit boilers. Its peculiarity is that one heat exchanger is located inside another. With this structure, boilers become the least reliable.

Open combustion chamber– heaters that require an influx of oxygen coming from the external environment. Therefore, the occupied premises must be equipped with ventilation and a chimney. The latter is necessary to remove combustion products. Before installing such a boiler, the room will have to be prepared according to all the rules. fire safety. This type of boiler has a simple structure, high reliability, and low productivity. The models make little noise during operation.

Closed combustion chamber– such boilers are the least harmful to the environment. They work using a special burner. Among other parts, they have a fan that supplies air. It also removes combustion products, so it doesn’t matter whether there is draft in the chimney or not. This type of boiler is the most productive, but less reliable. Often problems arise with the fan. By the way, it makes a lot of noise during operation.

Many of these models are condensing. That is, they are distinguished by low fuel consumption with fairly high efficiency. Others (convector boilers) lose a lot of heat along with combustion products, which is a serious disadvantage.

Wall mounted- the most popular type of gas boilers. The demand for them is due to their compact size, affordable price and sufficient performance to heat an apartment or a private house. They are also easy to install due to their low weight. This type usually has a closed combustion chamber.

Floor-standing- a powerful type of boiler designed for heating large rooms. Their size and weight far exceed those of wall heaters. The price is also noticeably higher. Such boilers are rarely used in everyday life.

The lineup

Ferroli brand products boast wide choice various models. You can choose a heater based on any requirements. However, not all of these models can be presented in Russian stores household appliances. Fortunately, today Internet services with delivery services can always come to the rescue. Let's look at the most famous and widespread boilers from Ferroli.

Domina N- one of the new models released in 2013, replacing old boilers that were discontinued. The unit belongs to the bithermic subspecies, that is, it has two heat exchangers and the second is located inside the first. They are made of copper and coated with a heat-resistant substance that increases their service life. Wall-mounted boilers of this model can have either a closed combustion chamber or an open one. Domina N has a long range of advantages, including: nice design, small sizes and weight, electric ignition function, anti-lock pumping system, frost protection, ability to connect remote control, high efficiency, safety and reliability.

It is achieved by a self-diagnosis function, an automatic air vent, safety valve, electronic flame modulation and other useful systems.

Launch and control

Most modern models are equipped automated systems management. And if not, they can be purchased separately and connected, which will significantly simplify the operation of the boiler. To launch correctly gas heater from Ferroli, you must first connect it to the mains and turn it on by pressing the “start” button. It may take about 15 seconds for the boiler to start. Then open the burner and ignite.

To turn off, close the valve and press the corresponding button. It is also recommended to disconnect the boiler from the power supply; however, if completely disconnected, the heater may freeze. To avoid this threat, the water must be drained entirely. You can also add antifreeze to it.

Remote controls make it much easier to set up your work. Moreover, adjustment in all models is carried out according to the same scheme. You can install such a remote control in any room, and you won’t have to visit the boiler every time you need to change the parameters. You can manually change the room temperature or heat exchanger temperature, set a specific operating mode, activate the “comfort” function or reset all settings.

Also with its help you can give commands to the boiler sensor and set settings expansion tank. And the digital display, which is almost always present on the remote control, will notify you of any errors that have occurred. This feature greatly simplifies maintenance. Accordingly, the service life increases.

Malfunctions and repairs

Even if your boiler is of European quality and enviable reliability, sooner or later you will encounter certain breakdowns. But there's no need to worry. Any modern model will try to notify you about this and tell you what exactly the problem is. She does this using a display or color indication. In the second case, the indicators on the control panel begin to blink. Why does the boiler not heat the water and the red light blinks? What does bad ignition mean? Answers to these questions and detailed designations can be found by referring to instructions or special Internet sources.

Let's look at the error codes that appear on digital screens.

A01 – no flame. This error means that the system has made several attempts to start a fire, but none have succeeded. The valve is closed or the gas pressure is too low. The problem may also be that the electrodes are connected incorrectly. Inspect the wiring. If everything is in order, restart the equipment. The operation of the control board may also be impaired.

A03 – the boiler has overheated. The alarm sensor registers the increased temperature and shuts down the equipment until it returns to normal. The reason is often a disruption in water circulation. This happens because low pressure or when air gets into the system.

Keep in mind that the sensor itself can also fail and record incorrect readings. In this situation, it should be replaced.

A06 – ignition was carried out, but the torch is missing. This error occurs when gas pressure is low.
A08 - overheating sensor has failed. First of all, check its wiring for breaks. If everything is fine with it, the sensor must be replaced.
F05 – the process of removing smoke from the room is disrupted. The problem is usually the air pressure switch. Please ensure that the connections are connected correctly.

The problem may also be with the heater diaphragm. However, most often the code is displayed due to a clogged chimney. Just get to cleaning.

F10 – two reasons. The first is that a short circuit has occurred. The second is that there is a break somewhere in the temperature sensor circuit. Check if there is contact between the sensor and the control panel. The problem is solved by reconnecting the wiring. Find out the sensor resistance at this moment. If it is faulty in all respects, replace it with a new one.
F14 – problem with the second pressure heating circuit sensor. Most likely it is damaged and needs to be replaced with a new one. Either there is a short circuit or a break.

F34 – voltage electrical network too low. The boiler generates an error when it drops below 180 V. If the problem occurs too often, it is recommended to connect the boiler to a stabilizer.
F37 – the pressure level in the heating system has noticeably decreased. The relay contacts open. If a malfunction occurs, replace it. And look around heating system, it may contain leaks.

F39 – a short circuit or break in the outdoor temperature sensor has occurred. Check resistance and wiring between sensor and control panel.
F50 - gas valve modulation coil is faulty. It should be ringed to identify an interturn short circuit or break. Check the gas valve. There may be an error in the operation of the control panel. Perform a reset.

Some of the problems can be eliminated with your own hands. For example, deflating or raising pressure is not a difficult task. You can clean the heat exchanger if you already have experience in this matter. But in most cases, it is recommended to call a specialist or contact a service center. Our technicians will conduct detailed diagnostics and fix problems without causing harm to the system. To ensure that breakdowns occur as rarely as possible, you should follow a few simple rules. At least once a year Maintenance and cleaning. Replace damaged parts to avoid more serious damage. Don't skimp on installing a heater. Entrust this matter to the masters who will do everything right.
