Gas floor-standing boiler Conord KSts-G-12S with automatic SIT (single-circuit)

In the Russian Federation, in the city of Rostov-on-Don, the production of Conord gas floor-standing boilers has been established. Heating units have been produced at this plant for more than fifty years.

In recent years, the enterprise has undergone significant modernization, both in the technical design part and in terms of the equipment on which the products are manufactured. And now, according to many experts, the goods coming from this plant for sale may well compete with foreign-made analogues. Although floor-standing boilers have considerable dimensions, there are no complaints about their derived quality. Therefore, a consumer who dreams of equipping a home with a heating system should think about purchasing such a boiler.

Description of Conord gas boilers

All heating units produced under the Conord brand are floor-standing models. All samples are large in size, and their outer protective casing is coated with a specially formulated enamel that protects it from damage.

Gas boilers of the Conord brand are available in several different modifications; here we are talking about the fact that some models have a water heating function, while others do not.

Also, units of this brand are equipped with the following innovations:

• automation based on thermohydraulic type;
• or SIT automation.

Boilers that are equipped with the first type of automation are dependent on an electrical power source. In this case, the thermostat dominates the supply or shutdown of fuel supply.

Such devices are perfectly adapted to extreme climatic colds, and they can also maintain the temperature that is set in advance, of course, if the calculations are made correctly.

A well-designed burner and high boiler productivity create the conditions under which the required air-gas mixture is mixed and a large volume of heat is produced, which, due to good thermal insulation, is directed in full, without loss, to the circuit. Boilers of this level are equipped with several protective levels and have a good safety class.

A particularly distinctive feature is that the Conord heating gas floor-standing boiler has a sensor that cuts off the fuel supply when there is no draft. And it also helps the boiler start working again when the draft improves. But this sensor does not destabilize the operation of the heating system if there are sharp gusts of wind outside, preventing normal draft from developing for only a short time.

Sensors are also triggered when the fuel supply to the burner is interrupted.

It is also possible to measure the internal temperature in the operating circuit.

Floor cast iron models

Floor-standing cast iron gas boilers Conord

The power of cast iron models is about 16 kW, weight is about 80 - 95 kg. The boiler efficiency is about 90%, which is ensured by economical gas consumption. The heating circuit is made of cast iron pipe. Such models are most often equipped with German automatic equipment, which ensures proper operation of the equipment and temperature control.

The heat exchanger has a spherical structure. To avoid rapid equipment failure, all elements are made from durable special cast iron alloys, which increases service life to 25 years and is significantly longer than that of steel heat exchangers. The circulation pump ensures uniform heating of the batteries in the house.

If necessary, a boiler can be connected to cast iron boilers to provide the home with hot water. The price range of such models is 15 - 22 thousand rubles, which is due to their high power and the ability to heat large rooms.

Technical characteristics

Gas floor-standing boilers Conord have the following technical characteristics:

• The warranty period for the device in use is 36 months;
• nominally the thermal installation operates for about 15 years without additional repairs;
• cast iron heat exchangers used in the models extend the operating life of the unit to 30 years;
• the heat exchangers of the units are made of cold-rolled metal, so they are not afraid of deformations caused by thermal means;
• The coolant is ordinary tap water;
• thermal equipment can be used both with a pump that sets the circulation, and without it;
• the steel used in boilers is about 3 mm thick;
• The efficiency of the thermal installation is 90%.

Overview of markings and its interpretation

You can find out about some of the technical characteristics of the boiler if you pay attention to the markings. It may have the following form: KSts-G-10S or KSts-GV-12

The letter "K" stands for "cauldron". The letter “C” indicates that it is made of steel. If the design has a cylindrical firebox, you can recognize this by the letter “C”.

Gas boiler equipment is designated by the supplier with the letter “G”. If you have a boiler in front of you that provides the function of hot water supply, then you can find out about this by two letters - “GW”. After the letter designation you will see numbers. They indicate the maximum power level.

In order to determine the required power when purchasing a boiler, the area of ​​the room is taken into account. For every 10 m2 you will need 1 kW of power. This is true if the ceiling height is 2.5 m

It is important to consider that this choice is relevant for the average level of heat loss

What features must be observed during installation?

In order for the Conord gas floor-standing boiler to maintain its performance characteristics during the current warranty period, specialists certified by the manufacturer must perform the following actions:

1. install the unit in the boiler room;
2. configure the operation of the equipment;
3. Put the heating system into operation.

Afterwards, a record is made in the technical passport of the device indicating that the installation was put into operation in accordance with the standards.

Also, every year, specialists from the service center inspect the boiler for the purpose of preventive maintenance, and make the necessary notes in the passport. If there are no such marks, this will void the warranty period.

When installing equipment, the following points must be taken into account:

• it is important to install a base under the boiler, consisting of a poured cement screed and a laid metal sheet protruding 45 cm on all sides;
• for normal circulation of the coolant, it is necessary to install the pipe, which is located at the bottom, slightly lower than the heating radiators are located;
• when connecting welding, it is necessary to cut several threaded rings;
• the risers must be vertical, deviation is permissible within 3 mm per several meters of the entire structure;
• horizontal pipes that remove air must be laid so that there is a slope of 10 mm per meter;
• for every meter of pipe that carries out branches to heating devices, there must be a slope of 10 mm;
• It is imperative to protect the section of pipe that runs in cold areas;
• the diameter of the chimney should be larger than the outlet pipe, because such a design will ensure constant draft.

Possible faults

Gas boilers with a valid expiration date rarely cause problems, but sometimes malfunctions may occur during their operation. It should be taken into account that it is advisable to use devices in the cold season with a maximum operating time. In the summer, it is better to turn off the heating circuit; to do this, just turn off the tap at the coolant inlet.

With only one working burner, the water will heat up to 60 degrees in one hour. In case of further lack of water consumption, it will only be enough for a few hours for small household and private needs. Sometimes boilers can go out for no apparent reason, this can happen for the following reasons:

• The burner is dirty and cannot be started - in this case, the nozzles must be cleaned using a special vacuum cleaner or brush.
• The pilot burner does not have enough air, and it needs to be ignited - to eliminate the problem, the supply nozzles are cleaned, improving ventilation.
• Thermostat contacts have oxidized and need cleaning.
• The flame and draft sensors do not work and cannot be ignited.

Sometimes the temperature of the coolant inside the system drops significantly. To solve this problem, you need to turn the thermostat switch to the maximum value or increase the gas supply to the burner.

In general, buyers leave positive reviews about Conord boilers and note their high quality. The brand's products continue to remain one of the most popular on the Russian market due to their optimal characteristics and long service life.

Recommendations for users

For stable operation of such gas floor-standing boilers, it is necessary to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Reviews

Judging by the reviews, they are mostly positive. There is a certain drawback, namely a slight deposition of soot, but this nuance can be easily removed during the next preventative examination by specialists. But you need to take into account that the gas is burned and, naturally, some sediment will still be present.

Some consumers say that they are not satisfied with the need to pay annually for preventive examination of the system, but this just applies to safety issues.

In fact, boilers from this company are a reliable and budget option for a private home and beyond.
