Russian gas heating boilers. Modern gas heating boilers of Russian production - a huge selection and high quality

In Russia, a lot of houses are heated with gas. And no wonder. The decisive factor for most is the low price of fuel. By the same logic, a boiler is usually bought. Foreign manufacturers, no doubt, can shine with both service and quality. But the prices for their products are much higher than for domestic ones. Russian-made gas boilers have a capacity of 7 - 68 kW and can be used in private houses, in agriculture and in industry.
First, let's figure out what kind of gas boilers.

Single and double circuit
The single-circuit boiler is intended for heating only. Double-circuit boilers will also supply the owners with hot water. It is advisable to install such a boiler where the flow of heated water is small (if the flow is large, it is better to think about installing a single-circuit boiler with a boiler). Heat exchanger in double-circuit boilers can be bithermic and separate.
The first one simultaneously heats both water for heating and for water supply. The second option is that the heat exchangers are different, which prolongs the life of the boiler. But, if it breaks down due to scale, the system will remain without heating! If we talk about cost, the bithermal option is cheaper.
A single-circuit boiler can be made with a boiler. It will provide the house with hot water, and at a price the installation is comparable to a double-circuit boiler.

Wall and floor
Wall-mounted gas heating boilers are mainly double-circuit and have a capacity of up to 20 kW.
Such a device is enough to heat a room up to 200m2, and outwardly they are much more attractive.
Traditionally, however, it is believed that wall-mounted units are best purchased for small homes, although many floor-standing units are less powerful.
A wall-mounted boiler is 2–2.5 times cheaper than a floor-standing gas boiler of Russian production. But according to statistics, ¾ of the boilers purchased in Russia are floor-standing.

Conventional boiler and condensing
The condensing boiler has an additional heat exchanger in which the flue gases are collected. Their heat can be said to be “reused” by the device. The result: savings of up to 30% in gas. But the indicators of harmful emissions are reduced by 70%. The efficiency is much higher.

Popular Russian manufacturers
Several large enterprises are engaged in the production of gas boilers in Russia. Let's take a look at some of them.

ZhMZ
Zhukovsky Machine-Building Plant - was founded in 1939 as an enterprise in the aerospace industry. Later, the production of boilers of the AGV series was launched, which were well received by the consumer. Today it is one of the most famous manufacturers of boiler equipment not only in Russia, but also in a number of foreign countries.
Up to 30% of ZhMZ boilers have a power of 11 kW (this indicator is easy to recognize - look at the first number in the name of the boiler). All ZhMZ boilers are floor-standing only.
Example: Boiler AKGV - 11.6 - 3. Its capacity is 11.6 kW. Weight - 35kg. Dimensions: 850х310х412 mm. The efficiency is 86%. The price varies from 16-20 thousand rubles.

Rostovgazapparat
ZAO Rostovgazapparat is another watchman, founded in 1959 in Rostov-on-Don. About half of the boilers with steel or cast iron heat exchangers produced by Rostovgazapparat are boilers with a capacity of 23 and 29 kW. The automatics in the units are imported. Models produced at the plant: AOGV Rostov, Siberia, RGA.

Borinskoe

JSC "Borinskoye" got its name from the village where the plant is located since 1976. The company produces both gas boilers and solid fuel and universal boilers.Borinskoe is a manufacturer of more than 30 names and modifications gas heating equipment with heating capacity from 7 to 100 kW. In some models, for example, EuroSit, imported automation is used.

Advantages and disadvantages of domestic equipment
Domestic manufacturers, developing their products, focus not on style and fashionable technologies, but on quality and adaptation to local conditions. Therefore, Russian boilers:

• Adapted to climate, temperatures, pressure drops in the line.
• Easy to maintain.
  
• Repairable, spare parts are easier to buy.
  
• They run on bottled gas - they can be installed where there is no mains.
• Huge price difference! Russian boilers are two or even three times cheaper than similar imported ones.

1. Imported boilers are more advanced in terms of automation, electronics, they can regulate t up to half a degree, etc. But sometimes, in our conditions, they quickly fail, or cannot use all functions at full capacity.
2. Domestic boilers are bulky, more like an industrial unit than a home appliance. The imported model will fit into the modern design. But sometimes the beauty of this technique is not needed. Especially if there is a separate boiler room. Moreover, latest models many domestic factories have noticeably decreased in size and, apparently, they are also working on the design.
3. On the whole, Russian boilers work less efficiently and have lower environmental friendliness. But this does not apply to all devices. But ZhMZ, Rostovgazoapparat and Borinskoye are working on improvements in this area.

Which model should you choose?
Which boiler model is right for your particular case will depend on many factors.
Try to weigh them up and take them into account. Having decided on whether there will be a floor-standing or wall-mounted boiler; single-circuit or double-circuit, you need to calculate the power.
An approximate calculation can be made for a house with well-insulated walls and ceilings of about 3 m. 10m2 will require 1 kW of power.
Pay attention to what gas pressure in the network the device is designed for. If, for example, by 20 mbar, and the real pressure in the line is 10 mbar or less, then the unit will not work at full capacity, and there is no point in overpaying for this power.
Is the unit dependent on electricity? Many imported models are equipped with pumps, fans, programming ... all this is good if you never have a power outage. If breakdowns and planned outages occur, then it is better to purchase a simpler but reliable device. Most Russian boilers are independent of electricity.
Read the reviews. On our site you can find the opinions of the owners of a particular model.

So. Russian-made gas heating boilers cannot please with beauty and fine settings. But reliability and endurance in the most difficult working conditions is a trump card. domestic technology... And most importantly, the price is noticeably lower.

Range of boilers

There are a lot of Russian products on the market today. As patriots of our homeland, we would like to say only good things about this category of products. But, unfortunately, the reviews of experts and ordinary consumers are not in favor of the latter. Domestic manufacturers offer a huge range of models, but the quality of these products is still inferior to foreign counterparts. True, in Lately according to some technical indicators, domestic gas boilers have pulled up very well.

How were the places for modern market heating equipment? Boilers from Germany and Sweden are in the first place. On the second - Italian, Spanish, Czech and French units. And on the third - products from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. Alas, so far, domestic producers cannot compete with European ones. The only thing that pleases me is the price, which is much lower. This is probably why the sales leaders in the domestic market are Russian boilers. Here's a paradox.

Let's consider only some manufacturers from Russia and find out what models of gas heating boilers they currently offer to a wide range of consumers. But first, we note that for the money that you invest in the purchase of a domestic boiler, it will serve you faithfully. Of course, the service is not yet up to the mark, but there is a hope that everything will change in the near future.

Rostovgazoapparat company

It is one of the largest manufacturers of domestic gas boilers. You will always find what you need in its assortment. There are not only wall-mounted and floor-standing models in single-circuit and double-circuit design, but also a large number of options with the latest automation systems.

I would especially like to mention the Siberia model. Let's dwell on this option and consider its design and advantages. Take the floor-standing option, for example.

How does it differ from others in terms of operating features?

• Firstly, it is a non-volatile unit, which is a very big plus.
• Secondly, the boilers of this model work quietly with varying gas pressure in the pipeline. And this is quite relevant today, because domestic gas suppliers are not responsible for uniform fuel pressure in pipelines.
• Thirdly, basalt fiber is used as a heater in the boiler structure, which is still used to protect the skin of spaceships.
• Fourth, it is a surface coating where powder coating technology is applied. And this is excellent protection against external factors, plus presentable appearance.

Modern devices

Today, manufacturers offer two product options - single and double-circuit devices with different power ratings. But there is one caveat here. If in double-circuit boilers "Siberia" both steel and cast-iron heat exchangers can be used, then in single-circuit boilers the manufacturer installs only a cast-iron analogue.

The wall-mounted version of this type of gas boilers has the same performance. But these models can be installed in damp rooms, that is, in bathrooms and shower rooms. It is the increased protection against moisture that is the distinguishing feature of such a model. According to the general opinion of experts, gas heating boilers Siberia is an excellent unit that is reliable and easy to operate.

Conord plant

This manufacturer produces gas heating boilers in Rostov. Manufacturing for over 30 years. Throughout its activities, the company has gained vast experience, where the latest developments and technological innovations have always been used in production. And today it offers to consumers more than 12 models, which are of high quality.

Solid fuel boiler

How can the Conord plant please its potential consumers?

• Today it manufactures steel samples and products with a cast iron heat exchanger. The former have a capacity of 8 to 32 kilowatts, and the latter - from 16 to 34 kW.
• All models of the company are positioned only as non-volatile. That is, they are equipped with a piezo ignition and a constantly burning igniter.
• Chimney with natural draft only. For some reason, the manufacturer believes that this option for the output of natural gas combustion products is the best.
• Today gas boilers from Conord are among the cheapest. True, they work out their cost 100%.
• The efficiency of the products of this plant is not less than 90%.

Attention! There are some guarantees given by the manufacturer. This type of boilers, according to the company, can work efficiently if the pressure in the gas pipeline is reduced by half. Usually, only units with an inflatable chimney work this way.

Now about some models. Conord Comfort are heating devices equipped with special thermohydraulic automatic controls. With its help, you can very accurately set the operating mode of the boiler. The temperature error is up to three degrees, which is an excellent indicator. We add that when firing up, you will never hear a pop. In addition, there is an excellent opportunity to reduce the amount of harmful emissions due to the new design of the combustion chamber. And the installed temperature automation allows modulating the operation of the burner, which significantly affects the efficiency of the unit in a double-circuit design.

The principle of operation of a double-circuit boiler

Conord Lux ​​is equipped with Italian automatics, which allows you to practically not go to the boiler and not worry about the temperature conditions inside the rooms of your house. Setting the mode is made by turning the handle on the control panel. It's simple, so even a child can figure it out. The installed gas pressure regulator is a kind of protection for the automation system and the gas boiler itself. Convenience and regulation of the temperature of the coolant without the use of electrical energy makes it possible to control the heating process as accurately as possible.

Household heating universal gas boilers "Don" is a collection of all the experience of domestic manufacturers of heating equipment. By the way, such units can be classified as combined, because they can operate on both main gas and solid fuels. The design allows you to do this. The water jacket is unique in it. It spreads throughout the entire volume of the device, which allows the maximum selection of thermal energy by increasing the contact area. The manufacturer has made sure that the water jacket is well insulated. In this case, the layer of insulation is 8 millimeters.

Boiler room in the house

The strength of such devices is provided by steel sheets with a thickness of 3 millimeters, from which they are made. By the way, steel is used for both the boiler body and the combustion chamber. Let's add here the fact that the Don boilers- these are the only units that have a replaceable copper coil. It works with a hot water supply system for household needs at home. It is no secret that tap water in Russian regions is very hard, so no one is immune from coil blockages. A replaceable part allows you to extend the life of the boiler several times.

And the last - a large combustion chamber allows Don boilers to operate on solid fuel for 8 hours without refueling. This is an excellent boiler equipment that can be used to heat houses up to 500 square meters.

Zhukovsky Machine-Building Plant (ZhMZ)

These boilers were developed by engineers and designers from the scientific city of Zhukovsky. How do they differ from other Russian heating units?

• Firstly, Russian developments that have been introduced into these heating installations.
• Secondly, at a reduced price, because everything is produced at the Zhukovsky plant.
• Third, an approach to production that takes into account Russian operating conditions.

ZhMZ logo

What does ZhMZ offer today? These are three main classes of boilers, each of which has its own distinctive features. First class - economy. From the name you can already understand that this is the cheapest option. Here they use the automation developed by the specialists of the plant, by the way, it is very reliable. All models of this line are non-volatile.

The second class is a station wagon. The SIT automation is used in this design. This is a more expensive analogue with improved performance and performance of the device.

The third class is comfort. Mertik Maxitrol automatic equipment is installed here, which allows you to regulate the temperature regime of the coolant depending on the temperature environment... As experts say, he turned on and forgot that the boiler exists.

There is one interesting fact- boilers from the Zhukovsky machine-building plant have a shape both rectangular in cross-section and round.

Borin heating boilers

These gas boilers are among the most popular today. Residents of summer cottages give them special preference. This heating equipment is famous for its high quality indicators and a large number of all kinds of functions. And there are a lot of models in the linear series.

Boilers Borinsky

Borinsky Zavod, the leader in its field, offers several basic models that it uses big number consumers. The latest technologies and materials are used here, as well as high-tech equipment is installed. Most likely, this is the key to the success of the plant. Experts note that this is one of those manufacturers whose products, in many respects, do not get tired of European ones, which is good news.

From famous models there are several. For example, the Ishma model, which is highly reliable and safe. Such boilers are equipped with an advanced electronic automation system. It interacts with a check valve, which closes the gas supply if its pressure rises in the main pipeline. A signaling device is also installed here, which gives a sound and light signal if the percentage of unburned gas in the combustion chamber has exceeded the permissible limits. In general, the boiler is simply stuffed with all kinds of foreign-made electronics, which guarantees its safe operation.

KOV boilers are modern products that meet all European quality indicators. They are usually used in large country houses, hotels and small industrial premises. Powerful, reliable, with high technical characteristics - this is how KOV boilers can be characterized. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the weight of heating units of this brand. The maximum is up to 170 kilograms, so it is imperative to pour a concrete base under it.

AKGV boilers are the most common version of Borinsky gas boilers. It is the devices of this series that can be most often seen in small summer cottages and country houses. Due to its service life, such a boiler has been highly appreciated by consumers. In addition, manufacturers have improved the design by adding new system automation. This increased the indicator of the reliability and safety of the unit.

Conclusion on the topic

As you can see, they are widely represented on the market today. The choice is considerable, and you will have to carefully approach technical specifications each model. Here, not only our article will help you, but also some of the photos posted on this page. After all, the appearance of the boiler equipment plays an important role, especially in the case of a wall-mounted version. Therefore, sort it out and choose.

Heating. "Production Russia" - such an inscription on the price tag will mark the products of the following enterprises:

• Zhukovsky Machine-Building Plant (OJSC);
• Rostovgazapprat (CJSC);
• Conord Plant (LLC);
• Gazapparat (OJSC);
• BMZ-Vikma (OJSC);
• Krasny Kotelshchik (OJSC);
• Borinskoe (OJSC);
• "Energozapchast" (SEZ OJSC), etc.

Let's consider what the most popular domestic gas heating boilers are, their prices and their features.

Zhukovsky Machine-Building Plant

It specializes in the production of floor-standing gas heating boilers. The products of this enterprise are intended for operation in non-volatile, water supply systems with an area of ​​up to 610 sq. M. and are represented by three main lines of boilers:

• Economy (self-produced automation unit). The range of prices from an authorized dealer is from 12,000 to 17,000 rubles.

• Station wagon (SIT automation unit). Prices fluctuate in the range of 13,000 to 25,000 rubles.
• Comfort (automatic unit Mertik Maxitrol). Price range - from 17,000 to 85,000 rubles.

All Russian models of this manufacturer are non-volatile (equipped with a piezo ignition, and the Comfort series models are also equipped with a pilot burner) and differ in thermal power (11.6 - 68 kW), according to which the price of the device is formed. The design of many boilers provides for the transition to liquefied gas by changing the nozzles.

It's nice that the package bundle, even in budget models, includes detailed instructions.

Rostovgazoapparat

This enterprise also produces domestic gas floor heating boilers, and under three brands:

• Siberia (Italian automatics SIT, burners Polidoro and Worgaz, power 11.6 - 35 kW);
• RGA (Italian automatic equipment SIT, power 11.6 - 17.4 kW);
• AOGV (own automation, power 11.6 - 35 kW).

These Russian floor-standing gas heating boilers allow the use of bottled gas with a power not exceeding 18 kW. All boilers of the manufacturer, except for the Siberia Spaсe Design model, are free to bypass natural circulation, therefore, they are absolutely non-volatile.

"Conord Plant"

This manufacturer has been producing domestic gas heating boilers for three decades, the prices of which are much lower than their foreign counterparts with comparable quality. The boilers of this company enter the market under the TM "Conord" in two variations:

• with cast iron heat exchanger (power 16, 25 or 33 kW). Cost up to 30,000 rubles.
• with steel heat exchanger (power 8-31.5 kW). Cost up to 20,000 rubles.

All Conord products are non-volatile - they have a piezo ignition and are equipped with a constantly burning igniter, as well as naturally aspirated atmospheric burners, which, nevertheless, allow the units to operate even at half the pressure in the gas main.

Thanks to innovations such as the use of advanced American-made Hannivel automatics, there is a high / low flame option, which allows the consumer to use up to 20% fuel.

"Gazapparat"

Russian double-circuit gas heating boilers are worthily represented by TM Neva from the company OJSC Gazapparat. It consists of three lines: "Economy" (Neva), "Premium" and "Comfort" (Neva Lux). Neva Lux models are equipped with electronic control (automatic ignition, temperature maintenance, self-diagnostics).

The price for any model of the manufacturer does not exceed 25,000 rubles.

The domestic gas heating boilers presented by this enterprise, prices for which are significantly lower than foreign ones, are equipped with heat exchangers and gas burners of their own production, as well as German components. New developments of the enterprise made it possible to supply the combustion chamber with water cooling, as well as to mount a primary heat exchanger made of pipes of larger diameter, which significantly slows down the process of scale formation.

The modernization of the burners has led to a significant decrease in the amount of carbon monoxide emissions - now the emission of carbon monoxide is 10 times less than the permissible value according to GOST.

Conclusion

Of course, in this review, not all Russian manufacturers of gas heating boilers are presented, but only those most demanded by the consumer.

In general, we can say the following about domestic floor and wall gas heating boilers: being inferior in terms of convenience and service to their European counterparts, they significantly gain in price, and are mostly solid products that honestly work out their cost.

Electric water heating heaters are in great demand among the owners of suburban housing. With their help, garages, houses and summer cottages are heated. Significant advantages of such heaters are high performance, ...
