Heating area

A very conditional parameter that slightly characterizes the purpose based on the size of the room. And depending on the height of the ceilings, layout, building design and equipment, actual values may differ significantly. However, this item represents the maximum recommended area of the room that the boiler can effectively heat. However, it is worth considering that different buildings have different thermal insulation properties and modern buildings are much “warmer” than 30-year-old and especially 50-year-old houses. Accordingly, this item is more of a reference nature and does not allow us to fully assess the actual heated area. There is a formula by which you can derive the maximum heating area, knowing the useful power of the boiler and the climatic conditions in which it will be used; For more information on this, see "Useful Power". In our case, the heating area is calculated using the formula “boiler power multiplied by 8”, which is approximately equivalent to use in houses that are several decades old.

Heat output

It is the maximum useful power of the boiler.

The ability of the device to heat a room of a particular area directly depends on this parameter; by power, you can approximately determine the heating area, if this parameter is not indicated in the specs. The most general rule says that for a dwelling with a ceiling height of 2.5 – 3 m, at least 100 W of heat power is needed to heat 1 m2 of area. There are also more detailed calculation methods that take into account specific factors: the climatic zone, heat gain from the outside, design features of the heating system, etc.; they are described in detail in special sources. Also note that in dual-circuit boilers (see "Type"), part of the heat generated is used to heat water for the hot water supply; this must be taken into account when evaluating the output power.

It is believed that boilers with a power of more than 30 kW must be installed in separate rooms (boiler rooms).

Power supply

The type of electrical supply required for normal operation of the boiler. Power supply may be required not only for electric models but also for other types of boilers (see "Power supply") — in particular, for the operation of control automation. Connection options can be:

230 V. Work from a household system with a voltage of 230 V. At the same time, models with a power consumption of up to 3.5 kW can be connected to a standard outlet, but for high consumption devices, you need to connect directly to the distribution board. Many of the electric boilers with this connection also allow operation from 400 V (see below).

400 V. Operation from a three-phase system with a voltage of 400 V. This power supply is suitable for boilers with any power consumption. However, it is not as common as 230 V: in particular, it may be difficult to use it in a residential area. Therefore, this option is provided mainly in high-power devices for which a 230 V power supply is not suitable.

— Autonomous work. Work in completely autonomous mode, without an electricity connection. This format of operation is found in all boilers that do not use electrical heating (see "Energy source"), except for purely liquid fuel ones — in them, electricity is necessary for the operation of the fuel supply systems.

Efficiency

The efficiency of the boiler.

For electric models (see "Energy source"), this parameter is calculated as the ratio of net power to consumed; in such models, indicators of 98 – 99% are not uncommon. For other boilers, the efficiency is the ratio of the amount of heat directly transferred to the water to the total heat amount released during combustion. In such devices, the efficiency is lower than in electric ones; for them, a parameter of more than 90% is considered good. An exception is gas condensing boilers (see the relevant paragraph), where the efficiency can even be higher than 100%. There is no violation of the laws of physics here. It is a kind of advertising trick: when calculating the efficiency, an inaccurate method is used that does not take into account the energy spent on the formation of water vapour. Nevertheless, formally everything is correct: the boiler gives out more thermal energy to the water than is released during the combustion of fuel since condensation energy is added to the combustion energy.

Inlet gas pressure

It is the optimum gas pressure supplied to the inlet of the boiler system. Most often indicated for natural gas and is about 15-20 mbar. This parameter must match the specs of the gas supply system. However, the pressure in the latter may be higher, which may require the installation of a special gas regulator.

Max. gas consumption

Maximum gas consumption in the boiler with the corresponding energy source (see above). Achieved when the gas heater is operating at full capacity; with reduced power and consumption, respectively, will be lower.

Note that boilers of the same power may differ in gas consumption due to the difference in efficiency. While the more fuel-efficient models tend to cost more, the price difference pays off in gas savings.
