Type

Depending on the set of functions, boilers are divided into single-circuit and dual-circuit.

- Single-circuit boilers are equipped with one heat exchanger, in which the heat from fuel combustion is transferred to the heat medium of the heating system. The only function of such boilers is space heating. It is technically possible to use single-circuit boilers to provide hot water, but this requires an additional tank (the so-called indirect water heater).

- In dual-circuit boilers, the primary heat exchanger is supplemented by a secondary one. Due to this, such a boiler, in addition to heating the room, also provides a hot water supply. In this case, both running water and water accumulated in a special tank(see Built-in water heater tank) can be used.

Power consumption

The maximum electrical power consumed by the boiler during operation. For non-electric models (see Energy source), this power is usually low, as it is required mainly for control circuits and it can be ignored. Regarding electric boilers, it is worth noting that the power consumption in them is most often somewhat higher than the useful one since part of the energy is inevitably dissipated and not used for heating. Accordingly, the ratio of useful and consumed power can be used to evaluate the efficiency of such a boiler.

Coolant min. T

The minimum operating temperature of the heat medium in the boiler system when operating in heating mode.

Coolant max. T

The maximum operating temperature of the heat medium in the boiler system when operating in heating mode.

DHW circuit max. pressure

The maximum pressure in the hot water circuit (DHW) at which it can operate for a long time without failures and damage. See "Heating circuit maximum pressure".

"Summer" mode

It is an operating mode designed for the warm season. In this mode, it works only to provide domestic hot water, and the heating is turned off. If the boiler is equipped with an outside temperature sensor, this sensor is also switched off in summer mode so that the heating does not turn on at night when the outside temperature drops.

Heated floor mode

The boiler has a special mode for underfloor heating systems.

Underfloor heating differs from conventional heating systems primarily by a lower coolant temperature — otherwise the floor could be too hot for comfortable use (plus, high temperatures are also undesirable for flooring and furniture installed on it). In addition, boilers with this function are distinguished by increased pump power. In order to ensure efficient circulation of the coolant through branched heating circuits that have rather high resistance.

Control bus

The control bus with which the boiler is compatible.

The control bus is a communication channel through which control and controlled devices can exchange data. Support for such a channel greatly simplifies the connection of thermostats and other control automation. It is enough that such devices are compatible with the same bus as the boiler. In addition, many types of tyres allow you to create very extensive monitoring and control systems and easily integrate various devices into them, including heating boilers.

In modern heating technology, the most popular tyres are OpenTherm, eBus, Bus BridgeNet and EMS. Here are their key features:

— OpenTherm. A fairly simple standard with modest functionality: it allows only a direct connection between the control and the controlled device and is not designed to create extensive systems. On the other hand, this bus has quite advanced capabilities for controlling heaters: in particular, it allows you to control the temperature not just by turning the boiler on/off, but by changing the power of the gas burner. This mode of operation contributes to saving fuel/energy, as well as reduces wear and increases the life of the heater; and in many cases, a system of two devices (boiler and thermostat) is quite enough for effective heating control. At the same time, the OpenThe...rm standard is simple and inexpensive to implement, which makes it extremely popular in modern boilers. For several reasons, it is mainly used in gas models.

— eBUS. A control bus that has some pretty impressive features. Allows you to combine up to 25 control and 228 controlled devices in one system, with a data transmission distance between individual components up to 1 km. At the same time, eBUS is an open standard, its implementation (at least within the framework of the main functions) is freely available to everyone. And although nowadays eBUS support can be found mainly in Protherm and Vaillant equipment. However, in boilers, this is the second most popular type of control bus, after OpenTherm. It is mainly due to slightly higher cost, while advanced eBUS capabilities are not needed as often.

— Bus BridgeNet. Hotpoint-Ariston proprietary development, used exclusively in boilers of this brand. One of the advantages is a high degree of automation: the user only needs to set the temperature parameters (and for different zones, you can choose custom options) and, if desired, a weekly programme, the rest of the necessary calculations and adjustments will be carried out by the system. However, such features are available only in special control devices such as temperature controllers; in boilers, Bus BridgeNet support usually means only compatibility with such automation.

— EMS. A control bus used primarily in Bosch and Buderus equipment. In general, it is characterized by wide functionality, a high degree of automation and the ability to create extensive control systems. However, note that nowadays you can find both the original EMS and the modified EMS Plus, and these standards are not initially compatible with each other (although support for both of them may well be provided in some devices). So the specific version of the EMS bus should be specified separately. We note that in Bosch devices there is mainly an original version, and in Buderus devices — EMS Plus (although exceptions are possible there and there).

Programmable thermostat

The presence of a programmable thermostat in the design of the boiler.

Programmable thermostat is a device that allows not only to maintain the temperature but also to programme the operation of the boiler for a certain time. The simplest programmable thermostats cover a day, and more advanced ones allow you to set the operating mode for individual days of the week. Anyway, this function provides additional convenience and eliminates the need to adjust the operation of the boiler manually. On the other hand, the presence of a programmable thermostat affects the cost.
