Ariston boilers review
The Italian company Ariston occupies a leading position in the world in the production of water heating and heating equipment. Ariston boilers are reliable, innovative and high-quality products that meet the modern needs of people for hot water, cost savings and safe use.
Description of electric storage water heater
Boiler device Ariston (accumulative type) is a sealed tank to which the power cable and two pipes are connected: cold water supply and hot water outlet. In addition, the boiler is equipped with a magnesium anode, a heating element, a divider, a thermostat, a temperature sensor, and a shutdown device. The inner storage tank is covered with a heat-insulating layer on top. The heater is attached to the wall using a bracket. Large capacity boilers that are too heavy are placed on the floor.
The boiler works according to the following principle:
- Cold water enters the inside of the tank under system pressure.
- The water flows through the supply pipe and the diffuser, filling the bottom of the inner tank.
- The heating element heats cold water to a predetermined temperature.
- The thermostat turns off the heating element.
- The heated water enters the top of the inner tank and is forced out by cold water through the outlet tube.
Electric boiler power
Boilers with two heating elements heat water in an accelerated mode, but consume, at the same time, more electricity than water heaters with one heating element, which are more economical, but they also need more heating time. It is more rational to purchase a boiler with two heating elements.
The power of Ariston heaters is 1.5-2.5 kW.
Volume
Boiler Ariston for 100 liters and 80 liters is recommended for a large family. With such a volume of water heater, you can take a bath, but the power consumption of a 100-liter appliance is much higher than that of a 50-liter one.
Boiler Ariston 50 liters is the best choice in terms of energy consumption and the amount of hot water. Such a tank is considered a budget option, it is quite enough to take a bath of warm water or take a shower for 10-15 minutes.
The 30-liter capacity of the water heater is used for washing dishes or taking a shower for 5 minutes. This boiler heats up water very quickly, you can safely turn it off when you leave home.
Other characteristics of boilers
The Ariston brand offers several options for materials for the manufacture of tanks: stainless steel, enamelled and ag + coating.
- The shape of the devices can be compact (series ABS Shape Small, ABS Pro Small), which allows them to be conveniently placed, for example, under the sink.
- Flat-shaped devices (ABS Velis QH series, ABS Velis Power, etc.) are also very convenient to place in an apartment, they are characterized by high power.
- The manufacturer also offers a series of narrow tanks (ABS Pro Eco Slim, ABS Blu R Slim, etc.), which is suitable for installation in niches.
- And one more series of products - cylindrical (ABS Pro R, ABS Pro Plus Power, etc.) with an enamel coating.
According to the type of installation, boilers are divided into floor-standing and wall-mounted. Boiler Ariston 200 liters is, as a rule, a floor-standing version (Platinum Industrial series, TI Tronic Indastrial).
You can also distinguish the type of gas water heaters, which are characterized by a large volume and can be floor-standing and wall-mounted. Such installations are economical due to the use of gas, but the technology for installing gas appliances is fundamentally different.
Another group of boilers - with a built-in pump (wall-mounted and floor-mounted), they can be used in private houses where there is weak pressure in the pipes.
Advantages of Ariston boilers
Reviews of Ariston boilers are mostly positive, consumers note a reasonable ratio of price and quality of these products. As a rule, negative reviews from the use of these devices are associated with improper installation and connection of the device.
The model of the Ariston SG 80 boiler for vertical installation has proven itself excellently, consumers note the reliability of this device at a low price.
The main advantages of Ariston water heaters include:
- Fast heating of water.
- Batch heating of water.
- The function of water purification from bacteria - eco (at the same time equalizes the temperature).
- Nanomix function for economical tank filling.
- The ABS system normalizes power consumption in case of drops and unauthorized leaks.
- Ag + silver ion plating significantly extends instrument life.
- Magnesium anode is an effective remedy against destructive factors (corrosion, scale).
- Attractive design.
- Many forms and methods of installation.
Gas boilers Ariston
Gas boilers Ariston of the storage type of the "SGA" series produce water heating using gas. For their work, a conventional thrust and an open combustion chamber are provided. The model range of these units in the wall version is presented with a volume of 50 to 100 liters, in the floor-standing version - from 120 to 200 liters. Depending on the volume and capacity, they are divided into household and industrial. Wall-mounted boilers with a volume of 50 to 100 liters consume 2.9-4.4 kW, Ariston gas boilers 200 liters - 8.6 kW.
Gas storage water heaters operate at a maximum operating pressure of 8 bar, liquefied gas can be used as fuel. Under conditions of low water and gas pressure, the stability of the device is not affected.
These boilers are equipped with the following elements:
- piezo ignition, flame control sensor;
- polyurethane foam thermal insulation to minimize heat loss;
- magnesium anode;
- gas valve with safety block (limit temperature sensor, smoke exhaust and thermocouple);
- safety valve (high pressure protection);
- regulator and indicator of water heating temperature.
The water heating temperature can be set in the range of 40-72 ° C. The inner tank is more than 1.8 mm thick and is coated with high-strength enamel, which ensures its long-term operation. The outer casing is made of steel. The device is fully adapted to the Russian gas pressure of 13 mbar. The magnesium anode in combination with finely dispersed enamel ensures high water quality and prevents the formation of scale. The presence of a dense layer of polyurethane foam insulation reduces heat loss and allows economical gas consumption.
Boilers of indirect heating Ariston
Accumulation boilers for indirect heating Ariston are another type of water heating devices from the Italian brand. They are arranged as follows: a heating coil is located in a tank covered with thermal insulation, passing through which the coolant heats the water in the tank. Such a system provides fast heating of water and the ability to connect several points of water consumption.
Ariston boilers for indirect heating are presented in three main series: "BS 1S", "BS 2S", "BACD". They have different designs, the volume of the tank can be from 150 to 500 liters. The greater the power of the device and the area of the coil, the faster the water is heated. The tanks are covered with a protective layer of titanium enamel, and the bodies of the boilers are made of steel, they are equipped with magnesium anodes to protect against corrosion. Additionally, these devices can be equipped with heating elements.
Series "BS 1S" is designed for connection to gas heating boilers, these boilers are made in floor-standing design. Water heaters of the "BS 2S" series can be connected to a solar collector. BACD boilers are manufactured in two mounting options: floor-standing and wall-mounted. They can be connected to gas wall heating boilers.
