Solid fuel boilers Zota Mix and other popular brand models

Solid fuel heating appliances do not lose their relevance in the conditions of widespread gasification. Manufacturers annually update their range, offering more and more advanced models.

Foreign devices are rightfully considered more technologically advanced. However, they are very sensitive to operating conditions and can fail with small deviations from the norm. Domestic products are more reliable. Solid fuel boilers Zota Mix from the Krasnoyarsk plant have proven themselves well when working in harsh conditions.

Manufacturer history

Zota solid fuel boilers of various modifications with built-in security system
Zota is a heating equipment and automation company. It was founded in 1992, the main products were solid fuel and electric boilers. They are intended for both heating and hot water supply to rooms for various purposes. The products of this manufacturer are known in many countries of the world, including Russia.

Installation and operation

In the process of connecting Zota boilers, you must strictly comply with the requirements for the installation of any heating devices operating on solid fuel. It is necessary to install a security system: sensors that will be responsible for monitoring the temperature of the coolant and pressure relief valves.

You will find a specific installation diagram in the instructions; the ignition process and operating features of the device are described in detail there.

Very often there are situations when the technical and operational characteristics declared by the manufacturer do not coincide with what even a short experience of using the boiler can show. Reviews from owners of Zota boilers show a real picture of how these units function and what their characteristics are:

• The boiler is ignited in a special mode. After the fuel burns well, the combustion door closes and the control lever goes into combustion mode;
• It is best to fire the boiler with dry wood and coal. Compliance with this condition is the key to high-quality heating. The temperature of the coolant when leaving the boiler will directly depend on the quality of the fuel used;
• Cleaning the boiler from soot is not difficult. Due to the fact that the grate rotates, you can clean the firebox from soot without interrupting the combustion process. And large doors provide unobstructed access to the entire smoke removal system.

How to choose the right boiler

When choosing a heating unit, the buyer should focus on his individual needs and capabilities.

Significant criteria:

1. Available type of fuel resource. Depending on what you plan to heat the boiler with, choose a solid fuel or mixed option.
2. Convenience. Operation should not cause difficulties for the user.
3. Price. Usually they choose the most inexpensive of the models with similar suitable parameters.
4. Power. It is believed that to heat an area of ​​10 square meters. m. requires an average of 1.5 kW of thermal power. For example, for a house measuring 100 square meters, a 15 kW boiler is suitable.

Principle of operation

To automate the work, install a controller with a fan.
Fuel in the Zota furnace is supplied in small portions, if it is small in size.

The amount of fuel required is determined by the boiler automatically, taking into account the required volume of fuel to heat the house. The principle of operation is that fuel from the bunker is sent to the burner in such a volume as is needed to create a certain temperature in the room. The exact temperature is calculated by the built-in controller.

Another option is gravity feeding of raw materials. Fuel spills onto the burner due to its weight. This happens after the previous portion burns out and makes room for a new one.

With the help of a fan, air is supplied to the burner; the controller also calculates the required amount and adjusts the rotation speed independently.

The heat resulting from combustion is transferred to the heat exchanger, then to the water and distributed through the pipes of the house, warming it. The heat is then removed in the form of gases through the chimney.

What to look for when choosing
