Correct boiler for private houses

Strict compliance with the standard requirements and best practices in the calculation and construction of the boiler room for cottage - it is a guarantee that the heating system it will work perfectly, and "live" the heat will never leave your home.

The construction of modern boilers used in private households, may differ. Their features are dependent on the type of fuel used and the type of room. By way boiler arrangement should distinguish the following types:

• Built. Boiler embedded type located directly inside the household. Such a method of location is quite convenient, it is not suitable for all kinds of boilers. For example, boilers which create a lot of noise (with overpressure burners), it is better to use in isolated boiler;
• Attached. Located in an isolated room, located in a special annexe to the cottage;
• Detached. Such an object is almost always located in close proximity to houses. Since the main housing it communicates via different utilities (heating main pipeline, plumbing and electrical wiring).

Freestanding boiler - a universal solution to the indoor heating boilers of any design capable of operating on different fuels.

In rare cases, a boiler room in the attic of an apartment building. But this is the exception rather than the rule.

I came to the conclusion that a free-standing boiler, according to all indicators and common sense, better built. Although its construction will cost more. heat transmission loss low (on the boiler to house wall - 5 meters) using polypropylene tubes with a heater in a plastic sewer pipe. About safety in general am silent. The gas is gas. With him were not kidding. When using a separate object in the house no boilers, boiler, tank and accessories. No noise, odor, and is released area. t. d. It seems to be some pros (except appreciation).

Yes, for boilers with high power (which can vary from 200 to 500 kW) and a lot of equipment is better to make a separate room. It is convenient, safe and modern. Do not be afraid of the costs associated with the construction of an additional house, as well as possible loss of heat. After all, the advantages in this option, you will always get more than the minuses.

If the project is not so cumbersome, it is possible to limit an extension to the house or even place the "boiler room" in a private room inside a residential building.

That's what about this thought of our users.

A separate room is reasonable to use with a large number of equipment. For smaller boilers are placed on the wall, it is better to install the boiler in the house. By the way, the loss of heat on a heating can be quite significant - 20 kW * h. During winter day - a 3 gas cube.

But no matter where you are planning to build a boiler room - in the basement, in the garage, in an annex or a special room - you should always plan out its space properly. Boiler rooms and pump in a private house, photo.

And if the room could fit all the necessary equipment and there is sufficient space for maintenance, so planning was done correctly. But to this point we shall return.

Basic devices and domestic boiler elements

To date, there is a standard list of equipment that is relevant for any boiler, regardless of its type. Let's look at it in more detail:

• heating boiler - the main source of heat for your home and central boiler element capable of transforming the energy of fuel into heat energy;
• Boiler - optional and bulky element for heating the water consumed for household use;
• Expansion tank - an element allowing pressure equalization in heating systems;
• Manifold - a device that distributes coolant flows in meshed heating systems;
• Chimney - exhaust system elements, which discharge the combustion products into the external space, ie.. street (not used in electric heating systems);
• Circulation pump - a device for accelerating the circulation of the coolant (set in the boiler room);
• Safety group with safety valve and vent system.
• Piping system with shutoff valve;
• Ventilation system.

Another essential element of the modern "boiler room" - a gas concentration monitoring system. For safety reasons, it is recommended to install any gas-fired boiler (see. photo).

Old SNIP 2.04.08-87 not provided now, if you have a basement, basement or annex, the required monitoring gassed! I quote: "Control systems of gas concentration with automatic shut-off the gas supply in residential buildings should be provided during the installation of the heating equipment, regardless of the place of installation - power over 60 kW; in cellars, basement floors, and the building to the building - regardless of thermal power. "

The main elements of the ideal boiler we have listed. And the presence of an additional boiler equipment and its list will depend exclusively on the type of heating system and the type of fuel used. Now you have to watch what will be the correct location of the main elements.

layout 

Proper placement of the boiler equipment - is an issue that can be solved only by knowing the area of ​​the room, a full list of necessary devices and their dimensions. In most cases, in order to avoid annoying errors in the placement of the equipment, it is advisable to call in a professional design and installation company.

I'll try to do a normal, formal and beautiful way. Do yourself a chimney set ( "Shidel") with a vent. When negotiating gas supply project engineer girl home long questioned how these elements are arranged, from which they are made. All this is reflected in the specification. The project is coordinated regional gas companies without any problems. After agreeing to the TU there was a condition of the company at the bottom of the front door of the grill openings.

But to give some general guidelines regarding breading, you can even prior to its development.

So, unimpeded access must be arranged to the boiler. This condition must be performed even in cases where the device does not require regular refueling (referring to electric or gas boiler). The distance from the walls of the boiler room to the set in her equipment must meet the requirements in the technical documentation on these devices circuits. When it comes to planning of lighting, they must fully cover the space - on case you need to make minor repairs (replacement of pumping equipment, boiler repair and automation t. d.).

Unhindered access should be organized not only to the boiler, but if possible, and to other devices - to circulation pump and electric switches to the boiler and vents, to the pump equipment, chimney elements etc. Take care of the convenience of advance! After all, this will help avoid problems during subsequent operation.

General requirements for premises 

General requirements for the organization of domestic boilers are regulated by building codes (SP 41-108-2004, 42-101-2003 JV, SNIP 42-01-2002 and so on. D.). And it will be better if the owner of the property will be guided during the construction of these schemes and rules. After all, this will help avoid disagreements with regulatory authorities and without any problems to obtain permission for the operation of heating equipment.

The meaning of regulations developed by public authorities, it is difficult to understand the man in the street. But, fortunately, from a flow of information can be identified a few basic ideas that relate to the main requirements for design domestic boiler. That's what made some of our forum users, which accounted for a list of these requirements.

1. The height of the furnace - not less than 2.5 m;
2. Volume - not less than 15 cubic meters;
3. Window glass area - at least 3% by volume of the furnace;
4. Walls, ceilings and floors - from non-combustible material;
5. Ventilation - natural;
6. The door should not lead to the kitchen, but directly on the street or in a corridor from which there is access to the street. In the latter case it must have a retardant coating;
7. If the boiler - with an open combustion chamber, whereas should provide pritochku;
8. The meter can be placed in the furnace - a radius of 0.8 m from the gas equipment at a height of 1.6 m above the floor.

The Svetlana I chose the most important requirements for the arrangement of gas boilers, but they are relevant to other types of fuel. From themselves we can add a few important points.

If the minimum volume of the boiler room is 15 cubic meters, its area must always be greater than or equal to 6 meters. The door to the boiler room may not be too wide, but is not allowed to do it less than 0.8 m in width.

During operation of the boiler it is sometimes necessary to drain the water from the heating system. Boiler must be equipped with a drainage opening or outlet into the sewer system.

Boiler room, working on electricity, does not require ventilation, and chimneys. Therefore, in its construction some general requirements are not taken into account.

The walls, as well as other elements of the boiler, it is necessary to finish materials, which prevent the risk of fire and the rapid spread of fire. For walls is fine gypsum board, ceramic tiles or sheets of steklomagniya.

Of all types of flooring in the boiler room it is best to use a special tile or granite.

In order to decorate the ceiling of the boiler, use gypsum board (possible with a heater) or plaster. The use of stretch and suspended finishing solution in this case is unacceptable. It would be impractical and similar materials possess high fire.
