   ATTENTION!
It is strictly forbidden to use low-freezing liquids (antifreezes) such as “TOSOL”, “Arktika”, “Tvoy Dom”, etc. as heat transfer agents since they are not intended for a use by the calderas de electrodos.

Advantages de calderas de electrodos
 

calderas de ZAO "Firm "Galan" are made only en Russia (10 types, tab.1). They are not only cheaper than el similar en potencia calderas de all other types including foreign, but have a variety de meaningful advantages:

   el considerable potencia saving en el expense de extremely high efficiency de calderas de electrodos which reaches 98%, which is much higher than en other calefacción calderas. It is reached by el direct conversion de electrical energy en thermal directly en el heat coolant while current flow via el coolant, by molecules ionization, thus temperatura de el coolant y its conductivity increase, el electric current which goes from an electrode a an electrode also increases, y el caldera quickly reach el nominal rating potencia.

Saving from 40% a 60% de input energy as a result de high-speed performance de calderas de electrodos, application de:

  - electronic temperatura controllers "Navigator"

  - temperatura controllers "Stoker"

  - cellular remote Control "Galan GSM"

- electromechanical variant de automatic equipment.

   Simplicity de mounting, small sizes y light weight de calderas de electrodos. para example, el caldera con capacity 6 kW weighs 1,1 kg, 25 kW  - 5,7 kg weigh.

 

Possibility de imbedding our calderas en previously installed calefacción systems (en case de obligatory carrying out de our recommendations), also as el second reserve (parallel connection de a caldera) pic.№3. Capacity de a reserve caldera has a correspond a el size de heated space y el quality de heat insulation, el number de coolant en calefacción system (tab.№1).

en case el reserve caldera is set en operating calefacción system, it is necessary:

   • carefully, using corrosion inhibitor "Galan-Protector" wash out el system;

   • a filter el coolant;

   • a take measures a prevent el ingress de contamination from calefacción system en caldera, a set filters.

en case de using plastic pipes en system it is necessary a change a few meters de pipes en el input y output de a caldera a non-galvanized ("black") pipes.

   Possibility de repeated increasing de calefacción system potencia (cosequently increase de heated space capacity) by parallel connection de a large number de calderas. para example, connection de 8 calderas con capacity 25 kW each increases el capacity de calefacción system up a 200 kW. (pic.№2).

It is forbidden a use calderas de electrodos:
 

   • para "direct" calefacción de water, which directly goes a el caldera from a water body, an artesian well, a water well, a water supply system, el river etc. "directly" goes a a caldera. Our calderas are intended para using en calefacción systems. el water used as el coolant, shall correspond precisely a passport data de a caldera, as otherwise el caldera fails. Water also can't be selected from calefacción system para hot water-supply:

   • para installation de "heat-insulated floors" as temperatures required en this case are significantly lower than optimum working temperatures de an caldera de electrodos. para this reason el caldera doesn't reach a rated capacity. para this reason para "warm" floors we recommend a use high-reliable modern thermoelectric  calderas like Hearth -Turbo, Geyser-Turbo, Volcano Turbo ZAO "Firm "Galan" production.

Not recommended:

   • application de calderas de electrodos en calefacción systems en which large-size (large volume) calefacción radiators are installed: radiators con tubes de big diameter,       cast iron radiator, etc. en this case it is recommended a apply electric calderas like Hearth -Turbo, Geyser-Turbo, Volcano Turbo ZAO "Firm "Galan" production.

If, by force de circumstances you have no other exit except applying an caldera de electrodos, it is necessary a provide compliance de el coolant volume (number) which was filled en el system con caldera  capacity (tab.№1).

Besides, while using el cast iron radiators it is necessary a install extra coarse-mesh filter a el "return" line, el mood collector (sump) a prevent an event when el remains de el rod earth get from internal cavities de calefacción radiators con coolant a a caldera y put it out de action. con el same purpose it is necessary a wash out carefully cast iron radiators before installation en system.

Electromechanical variant de automatic equipment
 

* a make connection de a caldera a an electric network according a type y el capacity de your caldera, (one de schemes No. 1 o No. 2), thus temperatura detector "Entrance" is installed generally en el pipeline de a reverse water supply. temperatura detector "Exit" is installed en el pipeline, quitting a caldera, en distance de 30 cm from a caldera.

* Detector connection is carried out by a copper multi-core wire con a section de 0,5-2,5 mm2 (copper).

el flame Sistema de Control serves para switching en y switch-off de el caldera potencia supply, y also is el automatic safety device en case de el current overloads.

el button en el casing de el magnetic starter serves para switching en y switch-off de el temperatura relé, y under normal operation de a caldera feeding circuit is constantly switched en (guarded button). Its actuating means excessing de current consumption over el rated because de failure en a caldera, electrodiagram o en case water resistance is significantly lower than 3100 Ohms de cm en 15ºC. Switching en de el thermal relé is performes by button action.

a. a set el recommended temperatura en el caldera "output" 65ºC+75ºC.

b. a set a value de desired temperatura en caldera "input". This value depends en el airspace, quality de heat insulation, etc., generally it is 35ºC+45ºC.

Tab. 4

Then switch en el caldera, measure starting current en 30 sec. after el caldera switching en en return temperatura de 15ºC-20ºC, then disconnect a caldera compare el measured current con specified en tab.№4 para your caldera. If value de starting current differs from specified en tab.№4 repeat adjustment de el specific electrical resistance. Thus temperatura en el caldera output has a be 15ºC+20ºC. After these values became equal, it is necessary a switch en el calefacción system. After reaching el temperatura 60ºC en el Entrance Sensor it is needed a measure el maximum current y compare it con specified en tab.№4. If it is necessary, carry out an adjustment de el water electrical resistivity by el above mentioned procedure. It should be noticed that el value de el starting current is trial, simplifying el process de adjustment de electrical water resistivity. el final will be a value de el caldera maximum current en reaching de el temperatura 60ºC en el caldera entry (input Sensor) which is equal a el designated value en tab.#4 after which el process de size de el maximum current de a copper achievement de temperatura en an entrance a a copper (Entrance Sensor) 60ºC con el specified size en tab..№4 then process de el resistant adjustment is finished.  el measured starting current is large than specified en tab.№4 para your caldera.

It is necessary a add en el calefacción system water con a resistance, much exceeding el passport value.   It is el distilled water, y also pure rain water o snowmelt sin contaminations. Using de el drinking water con a high specific resistivity (tab.№1) o boiled water is possible. el quantity de el added water depends en el volume de el filled en system water. el order de el filling de el system con water de a high resistance is completely similar a el case when starting current, y also el maximum current is less than specified en tab.№4 para your caldera, except that el water con a high electrical resistivity is added a el system instead de water con salt brine.

el amount de el added en system water con high resistance y an amount de water merged thus from el system has a be equal. If there is no circulation en calefacción system than el adjustment de resistance de el water which was filled en system will be changed en el following way:

  • el changing de el resistance throughout el water filled en system is reached en el expense de increasing el number de single additions en system, reduction de el salt brine doses, added en water o waters con high electrical resistivity, filled en el system;

  • el larger amount de water, pumped over after each addition con salt brine o water con high electrical resistivity en a broad tank by means de el "Kid" bomba.

caldera start-up

el work purpose is providing reliable, effective long-term operation de calefacción system. Works are executed by qualified personnel, calefacción systems has a be disconnected from electric grid.

Record about el executed works is made by el performer de these works en el sheet de el Manual y certified by el signature de responsible para works y by el press de el organization (appendix No. 2).

Maintenance y repair works are carried out after a calefacción season. Frequency y structure de these works is defined both as a type de el coolant which is used en calefacción system y those drawbacks which are revealed during el visual inspection de system condition, a caldera y repairing.

Water as el coolant

Annually, right after el end de a calefacción season, it is necessary:

  • a cool calefacción system a room temperatura;

  • a merge 20 l de water from system, a dissolve a dose de a corrosion inhibitor "Galan-Protector" en this quantity, which size is defined en an amount de 1,5 l (o 0,5 depending en concentration) de inhibitor per 100 l de water, mix carefully, con "Kid" bomba a fill en el system through el drain valve.  Once again merge from el system 20 l de water y sin inhibitor a fill en system, etc. a el full gulf de water con inhibitor en system.

para washing de el system it is necessary it works 6 days con a temperatura de return water de 350C. During this period de time el system is not only being cleaned, but also its internal surfaces de calefacción system are protected (inhibiting) against corrosion. en this time it is necessary a clear el filter regularly.

After 6 days de el calefacción system work it is necessary:

  • a disconnect calefacción system from el potencia supply network;

  • a cool system a room temperatura;

  • a merge all el water from calefacción system;

This water is not applicable a reuse.

Repeat procedure as necessary. An inspection, checking de el bolt y electrical connections tightening y reliability de grounding connection are carrying out.

caldera repairing

If it is impossible a lift an electrode group (electrode) out de el caldera body ought a dismount a caldera from calefacción system, also a clear internal surfaces de el body y assure de non-existence de defects.

While repairing de a caldera it is necessary:

  • a remove an electrode (en a monofásica caldera), electrode group (en a 3 phase caldera) para visual inspection para non-existence de defects – cracks en window insulators, etc. y        wear measurement de electrodes. If wear contains more than 40%, an electrode o electrodes need a be replaced. Usually it occurs once every 3-5 years;

  • a clear carefully interfacing surfaces en order a provide hermiticity due a application de  encapsulating materials when assembling el caldera y its further operation;

  • a clear internal surfaces de el barrel de el caldera a metal gloss y then inspect them attentively para no-existing de defects, para example, pitting corrosion, etc.

  • a assemble el caldera. When assembling de el caldera a observe strictly el set de electrodes against each other y el barrel de el caldera, so there has a be an identical distance (spacing) between electrodes y el barrel de el caldera y between electrodes. a avoid el possibility de ingress de contamination en a caldera when assembling. a check el hermiticity.

Install a caldera strictly vertically en calefacción system. Fill calefacción system con el coolant. el broad tank has a be filled en 1/3 de its volumes.

After completion de el listed above works a check el system hermiticity, el bolt y electrical connections tightening y reliability de grounding connection, el value de el grounding electrical resistance, automatic equipment y a make a trial start-up de calefacción system. As needed a eliminate el identified shortcomings.

el person who is responsible para carrying out these works, makes el corresponding entry en el record de el carried-out repair works, certifies by a signature y el press de firm (organization) con el location y license extension. (Appendix No. 2).

Switch en a caldera, put el system condition under el strict Control until el first automatic shutdowns y switching en de el caldera.

Switching en el caldera con el frozen coolant en system o existence de danger de its freezing is inadmissible.

en case de correct building de el calefacción system y connection de el electroscheme, including automatic equipment, a system will start getting warm.

If during el initial period de work el coolant is a "fresh" water, a gradual potencia reduction de a caldera takes place it is necessary:

  • a remove a caldera from el system, a demount y clean el surfaces de electrodes, internal surface de el caldera from el stuck layer de el pollution possessing isolating (dielectric) properties, a assemble el caldera y install en system.

el coolant – Low-freeze liquid "Argus — Galan"

en this case maintenance y repair works de el caldera while el non-calefacción season are carried out once en 3 years: it is visual inspection, el bolt y electrical connections tightening y reliability de grounding connection.

el order de carrying out de el maintenance y repair works except washing de system which does not take place, is similar when using el water as el coolant en calefacción system, is described above para observance de protective measures.

Washing de system is not carried out as el low-freeze liquid "Argus — Galan" contains el components which interfere corrosion, scaling y foams. Before repairing el caldera needs a be washed out carefully con water from low-freeze liquids, also a wash out el caldera details after disassembling.

Monitoring de el caldera operation

This function can be carried out by adults only, who were briefed en el monitoring de el caldera work, know el caldera structure, studied this Manual.

While monitoring el caldera operation it is necessary a watch visually para el quantity de el coolant en system according a its level en a broad tank. Normally el tank has a be filled en 1/3 de its volume but if el coolant level en a broad tank is lower than specified, el serving system specialist de firm (organization), depending en what kind de el coolant is used – water o low-freezing liquid, has a execute one de 2 procedures:

a). Water as el coolant.

a add en a broad tank a el normal level distilled water o rain, snow, thawed, pure, filtered, i.e. water con electrical resistivity far exceeding 3100 Ohms.

b). a add en a broad tank a el normal level a distilled water o rain, snow, thawed, pure, filtered, i.e. water con electrical resistivity far exceeding 3100 Ohms y low-freezing liquid en el ratio de 3:1.  These works have a be carried out only upon condition de previously disconnected calefacción system from el potencia supply network.

c). el cases de immediate shutdown de el caldera current supply.

Potential problem

  1. el caldera is failed-en, interruptor automático actuation.

 

 Short-circuit en electrical system caused by wrong connection de el caldera, water electrical resistivity is much lower than 3100 Ohms*cm en 15ºC.

 

 To call in an electrician y to check compliance of the assembled electro scheme con given in this Manual, to check starting currents. In case of need to carry out the correction of water resistance.

2. el calefacción system does not warm up (warms up poorly)

 High water electrical resistivity. Insufficiently high temperatura de el  coolant  was set. Connection schemes de a caldera y radiators installation do not correspond mentioned en this Manual.

 Strictly observe recommendations in this Manual for  coolant . To increase value of the set temperature. To bring into compliance the connection y installation schemes con schemes in this Manual.

 Existence de air plugs en calefacción system, caused by incorrect installation. Inconsistency between caldera efficiency y el efficiency de connected a it calefacción implements (radiators, convectors etc.)

a eliminate installation errors, a fill en el  coolant  under el pressure via el drain valve. a bring into compliance el caldera y calefacción implements capacities.

  3.  el caldera consumes potencia, but only el closest a el caldera pipeline (riser) is getting warm.

 Lost circulation en calefacción system, existence de air plugs.

 To clean the heating system y carefully wash it out, using the inhibitor.

  4.  Eventually, el caldera gradually loses its capacity; including operation en "fresh water".

Existence de dirt, rust, mill scale etc. en el internal surfaces de a caldera y electrodes.

a clean electrodes y an internal surface de el barrel de caldera a a metallic sheen.

Warranty liabilities
 

  1. Warranty period de operation is 12 months from el date de sale.

  2. el age de caldera is 3 years.

  3. Warranty liabilities extend en el caldera installed by el regional service center (con obligatory filling de el enclosed coupon en installation).

  4. Warranty liabilities extend en el caldera which had gone through preventive maintenance according a this manual y appropriate arrangement de these works.

  5. el producer doesn't bear responsibility para electric calderas operation if:

  •  el scheme de calefacción y electrical connection doesn't correspond a el specified en el this manual y also el caldera which was acquired sin Sistema de Control recommended by ZAO "Firm "Galan";

  • el caldera has mechanical damages;

  • el caldera worked en el temperatures exceeding recommended en this Manual, o con el coolants, not recommended by ZAO "Firm "Galan";

  • there are traces de moisture influencing, intrusion de foreign objects, dust y dirt (including insects), en terminals under el protection cover;

  • el copper worked en an insufficient speed de el coolant circulation which led a electrodes insulators damage.
