Any heating technology associated with home heating, it is impossible to imagine without automation. Facilities heaters certain mechanisms, devices and devices not only increase the effectiveness of the work of the boiler equipment, but also provide safe operation of the boiler equipment. Boiler on solid fuel, although today is a high-tech device, as well as other types of heating devices need equipment automation.
In comparison with the classical solid fuel boilers, heating units manufactured today are the most automated devices. Automatic boilers for solid fuels, to cope with their tasks without human intervention. In the periods between the tabs fuel the entire system is fully autonomous and independent, giving the output optimal temperature mode in the house and hot water. Consider in more detail what constitutes equipment for heating solid aggregates.
The main functions are assigned to the automation
Before installation of solid fuel boilers We should carefully examine how it works and management mechanisms. Studying processes heater operating cycle will allow to understand how the devices and mechanisms that control of the heating system. That today is the equipment for solid fuel boilers, and what are its main features.
On the automation has the following functional tasks:
- ensuring optimum temperature in the heating circuit;
- perform controlling functions for the operation of the pump and the three-way valve to mix with the circuit;
- providing control over operation of the circulation pump on the main heating circuit;
- control temperature of heating water in the heating system;
- provide on / off three-way valve;
- Automatic boiler equipment is a set of equipment, together with room thermostat.
The diagram shows a conventional rail independent heating system installed automation.
Automation of many processes in the heating appliances for solid fuel makes it possible to achieve significant fuel savings and free inhabitants of the house from the stoker function. Today automation represents a set of complicated and power-consuming devices, each of which solves certain challenges and problems.
Automatic boiler - is a unit which is able to operate entirely off-line, since the fuel Bookmarks finishing adjusting the heating temperature.
For reference: All processes, starting with the batch of fuel, ignition and control of the switching on and off, are made automatically. Without your participation. Presence sensors and controllers allow the system itself to respond to the changing situation. Based on the specified parameters, the boiler is operating at a steady state.
What are the types of automation
The possibilities of modern electronic devices, the included control over the operation of the equipment heater are wide enough, allowing you to configure the instruments in accordance with their own priorities and desires. In most cases, today's complex set of heaters include:
- a computer capable of controlling the heater;
- a fan or an air turbine.
Today you can a normal semi-solid units to equip almost any kind of automatic type Comfort Eco control unit. Semi-automatic solid fuel boiler, equipped with such a set, may have most of the process is carried out independently. Sensors adjusted on heating the coolant temperature, the state of traction. All information is provided on the screen. Normal boiler or the pyrolysis unit with automatic continuous burning becomes much easier to use and safer.
If the electronics all more or less clear, then with the mechanical part is necessary to understand in more detail. There is automatic classification in terms of autonomy. In this case it is customary to distinguish between:
- automation, volatile - operating on electricity;
- Automatic, non-volatile, which does not require connection to the mains.
In the first case, the efficiency of major appliances is feasible only when the devices are connected to the power supply. To increase security of such devices, autonomous heating system is equipped with UPS. The first option is as preferable as equipment operating on the network has a higher functionality.
The second case focuses on more autonomy. These options are very handy in situations where frequent power outages, and the heating device is configured to work independently without much electronics.
Important! If your boiler is set up properly and working independently, without additional monitoring and recording of temperature, it is necessary to go and see more often in the boiler room.
Advantages of the boiler equipment, on which stands the Automatic
The first thing you notice any owner heating technology - is the ability to independently adjust the heater temperature of the heating main heating circuit. Previously everything was done manually. Pushed the shutter, the temperature began to fall, and vice versa, opened the ash pit, the boiler began to work intensively, the temperature increases.
modern automatic long burning solid fuel able to operate without human intervention for a long time (up to 48 hours), self-regulating all processes. Important for you to only put the required temperature conditions inside the premises. Thermal sensors react to changes in temperature in the room, giving a signal to a central automation. From there is sent to the team include special fans pressurization, the process of providing the combustion air.
Another important advantage, which gives solid fuel boilers Automatic - is independent heater operation. Now there is no need to out off the boiler and wait until it is completely cooled, the heating system when it is necessary to merge, that would not unfreeze.
To date, the situation has changed radically. Use of automation can adjust operation of the heating unit in the minimum (compatible) mode. In other words, you set up your boiler at a certain temperature. As long as you are not home, the boiler is working, that would maintain the minimum temperature readings of the system. In order to heater run on the maximum speed, it is sufficient to set the timer. You come, and you have the house warm.
In the case of burning of the solid fuel, the situation is even simpler. Man for this is absolutely not necessary. At the specified time work electric ignition and boiler will start to work.
The main focus of the latest models, is on achieving maximum safe operating mode. Solid units, equipped with automatic control devices, capable of regularly self-test, identifying malfunctions of one or another element. For solid fuel boilers is an important quick response. The faster devices and system will react to emergency situations, increasing the pressure in the system, a sharp jump in temperature, the faster the system will stop automatically.
Solid fuel boilers with automatic feed
Especially it is necessary to dwell on the category of solid fuel heating devices, which are equipped with devices and mechanisms that facilitate the work of the fireman. We are talking about a form of boiler equipment, such as a solid fuel boiler, equipped with a mechanism for automatic fuel supply. A number of current heating units is equipped with special devices through which loading is carried out continuously fuel into the combustion chamber. Such devices are called pellet because the furnace are pelllety - easily flammable fine granules made on the basis of wood waste.
Boilers with automatic fuel supply are considered one of the most effective. Efficiency of such a device is 80-85%, due to possible complete combustion of the fuel and the automation of the process. This technique provides during operation the necessary comfort, cleanliness and comfort in the house. Solid fuel carefully poured into the hopper and from there fed screw mechanism in the combustion chamber.
On a note: in pellet aggregates Automatic regulates not only the flow rate of air to the burner, but also the amount of granules entering the furnace. There pellets on the burner unit is running, there is no pellet heater not working.
Boilers for solid fuel heating in addition to the automatic fuel supply are equipped with another device, allowing to clean the ash pan, not putting this human hands.
installation of automatic machinery
If you install the boiler and pave the autonomous heating system piping can be yourself, When equipped with a heating device instrumentation control and automation require specialist services. Automation for solid fuel boilers requires careful and accurate adjustment. The installation process is directly hardware configuration complicated and laborious. Therefore, to save, in this case it is not necessary.
The first thing that draws the attention of experts from equipment installation - is the installation of the ventilation system, which is based on the fan. The equipment is installed in the lower portion of the heating device, at the location where the conventional damper. The fan is attached firmly enough that he had not jumped up during operation. Next step - installing the controller. Boiler working with wood, such a device would be a real boon. Typically the controller is a control block of the heating unit, wherein the automatically laid by various algorithms. Here the main thing correctly to place sensors and tune. After setting up the system is connected to the power supply, it is the first trial run of the heater.
In custody
Recently, more and more of the boiler equipment market operating on solid fuel is replenished sophisticated instruments and control systems. Not only foreign models of boilers, but most of the domestic manufacturers are doing today bid to equip heaters automatics.
Control unit, which has a liquid crystal display, copes with the tasks assigned to it. Now heaters are not only easy to manage, they almost do not need to be controlled. Fine-tuning of all control elements of the system will allow high-precision responsive heating equipment to the slightest change in temperature. Now your unit is not afraid of no overheating, no defrosting.
