Thermal relay 16 (draft presence sensor) is designed to turn off the device if there is no draft in the chimney;
Water temperature sensor 18 is designed to determine the water temperature at the outlet of the apparatus;
Thermal relay 19 (water overheating sensor) is designed to turn off the Neva 4511, 4513 geyser when the water is heated above 90°C;
Plug 20 serves to drain water from the water circuit of the device to prevent it from freezing; The safety valve built into the plug is designed to protect the water circuit of the water heater from increased water pressure.
The working diagram of the VPG-18 water heater is shown in Figure 3.
When water begins to flow through the water unit 22 (see Fig. 3) with a flow rate of at least 2.5 l/min, the membrane rod 25 opens the gas valve 30 and the contacts of the microswitch 17 close, after which the control unit 15 opens the electromagnetic valve 13 and begins to flow high voltage current pulses to spark plug 10.
Burner 5 is ignited by spark discharges between the spark plug electrode and the nozzle of the burner section. Next, the operation of the burner is monitored by flame presence sensor 11.
The water flow regulator 1 regulates the amount and water temperature, leaving the device: turning the regulator counterclockwise increases the flow rate and reduces the water temperature; turning the knob clockwise reduces the flow rate and increases the water temperature.
The position of the regulator also determines the water flow at which the device turns on.
Gas flow regulator 2 regulates the amount of gas entering the burner to obtain the required water temperature at its set flow rate: turning the regulator counterclockwise increases the gas flow and water temperature; turning the knob clockwise reduces gas flow and water temperature.
When water flow stops or its flow rate decreases to less than 2.5 l/min, the contacts of microswitch 17 open and valves 13 and 30 close. The burner goes out.

5. DEVICE AND OPERATION
5.1. Device structure
5.1.1. The wall-mounted device (Fig. 1) has a rectangular shape formed by a removable lining 7.
5.1.2. All main elements of the device are mounted on the frame. On the front side of the cladding there are: control handle 2 gas tap, button 3 for turning on the solenoid valve, viewing window 8 for observing the flame of the pilot and main burners.
5.1.3. The apparatus (Fig. 2) consists of a combustion chamber 1 (which includes a frame 3, a gas exhaust device 4 and a heat exchanger 2), a water-gas burner unit 5 (consisting of a main burner 6, an ignition burner 7, a gas valve 9, a water regulator 10, a valve electromagnetic 11) and tube 8, designed to turn off the water heater in the absence of draft in the chimney.
NOTE: Due to the fact that OJSC continues to work on further improvement of the device design, the purchased device may not completely match the individual elements with a description or image in the “Operation Manual”.
5.2. Description of the device operation
5.2.1. Gas through pipe 4 (Fig. 1) enters solenoid valve 11 (Fig. 2), the activation button 3 (Fig. 1) is located to the right of the gas tap switch handle.
5.2.2. When you press the solenoid valve button and open” (to the “Ignition” position) (Fig. 3), the gas flows to the pilot burner. The thermocouple, heated by the pilot burner flame, transmits the EMF to the valve electromagnet, which automatically holds the valve plate open and provides gas access to the gas valve.
5.2.3. When turning handle 2 (Fig. 1) clockwise, gas valve 9 (Fig. 2) carries out the sequence of turning on the pilot burner to the “Ignition” position (see Fig. 3), supplying gas to the main burner in the “Apparatus on” position ( see Fig. 3) and regulates the amount of gas supplied to the main burner within the “Big Flame” - “Small Flame” positions (see Fig. 3) to obtain the desired water temperature. In this case, the main burner lights up only when water flows through the device (when the hot water tap is opened).
5.2.4 The device is turned off by turning the control knob counterclockwise until it stops, and the main and ignition burners are instantly extinguished. The valve of the electromagnetic plug will remain open until the thermocouple cools down (10... 15 s).
5.2.5. To ensure smooth ignition of the main burner, the water regulator is equipped with an ignition retarder, which acts as a throttle when water flows out of the above-membrane cavity and slows down the upward movement of the membrane, and therefore the ignition speed of the main burner.
The device is equipped with safety devices that provide:
- gas access to the main burner only in the presence of a pilot flame and water flow
- closing the gas valve to the main burner in cases where the pilot burner goes out or the water flow stops,
- turning off the main and ignition burners in the absence of draft in the chimney.

To heat water used for domestic purposes and in water heating systems, various water heaters are used: VPG-18-A, AGV-80 and AGV-120.
Flow-through gas water heater VPG-18-A, designed for continuous heating of running water, can be used for multi-point water supply. The water heater runs on natural and liquefied gases.
The VPG-18-A water heater is made in the shape of a parallelepiped, the outer surfaces of which are covered with white enamel. The main elements of the apparatus are the main and ignition burner, heat exchanger, gas burner unit, solenoid valve, thermoelectric thermometer, draft measuring transducer and piezoelectric ignition device. All elements of the device are mounted in a detachable casing, thanks to which you can freely inspect and repair its elements without removing the device from the wall.
On the front wall of the device there is a control handle for the gas tap, buttons for turning on the solenoid valve and the piezoelectric ignition device. In the upper part of the device there is a device for discharging combustion products into the chimney, in the lower part there are pipes for connection to the water supply system and gas pipeline. Automatic devices ensure that the gas supply to the main burner is stopped if water does not flow to the device, if there is no draft in the chimney and if the pilot burner flame goes out.
Technical characteristics of the water heater VPG-18-A
VPG-18-A water heaters are installed in kitchens or bathrooms and secured using hooks or screws screwed into dowels embedded in a fireproof wall. If the water heater is mounted on a wooden plastered wall, then a 3 mm thick sheet of asbestos roofing steel is nailed to it behind the water heater.
Gas water heaters are installed at a distance of 970-1200 mm from the bottom of the housing to the floor. Water heaters are connected to the chimney by roofing steel pipes. The diameter of the pipe must be no less than the diameter of the pipe on the drainage device flue gases. The length of the vertical section of pipes above the draft breaker must be at least 0.5 m, and the horizontal section no more than 3 m in new houses and 6 m in previously built ones. The slope of the pipes is 0.01 towards the water heater.
The pipes are tightly pushed into one another along the gas flow by at least 0.5 D) (where D is the diameter of the pipe) and they must have no more than three turns with a radius of curvature of at least D. At a distance of 10 cm from the end of the pipe, a washer is installed that rests into the wall.
The water heater is installed like this: the installation location is marked, holes are marked and punched for dowels, which are embedded in the wall. Then they wrap it in dowel screws, hang the water heater and connect it to the gas and water connections.
Automatic gas water heaters AGV type are capacitive water heaters used for hot water supply systems and providing multi-point water supply. Such water heaters are installed in bathrooms, kitchens or rooms with a volume of at least 6 m 3 with a mandatory connection to a separate flue. Automatic gas water heaters AGV-80 and AGV-120 consist of the following main elements: a galvanized welded tank, a combustion chamber with a burner, a thermostat, a magnetic gas valve, an ignition burner, a thermoelectric thermometer, a safety valve and a draft breaker.
Casing 1 of the AVG-80 water heater (Fig. 244) is a cylinder made of sheet steel 1 mm thick and painted with enamel paint. Between the walls of the tank and the casing there is a 2¦ thermal insulation layer of slag wool.
Rice. 244. Automatic gas water heater AGV-80:
1 - casing, 2 - thermal insulation, 3 - water tank, 4 - cold water pipeline. 5 - flame tube, 6 - gas flow extension, 7 - drain fitting, 8 - tonka, 9 - gas burner, 10 - air supply regulator, 11 - firebox door, 12 - thermocouple, 13 - temperature regulator sensing element, 14 - tube igniter, 15 - thermocouple tube, 16 - burner tube, 17 - temperature control valve, 18 - button, 19 - solenoid valve, 20 - gas valve, 21 - plug valve, 22 - gas pipeline, 23 - hot water pipe, 24 - traction breaker
The cylinder tank with upper and lower bottoms is made of galvanized steel 3 mm thick. In the upper bottom there are two fittings with a diameter of 20 mm, one of them is used to connect pipelines 4 for cold water, the other 23 is for drawing hot water.
Water drains from the water heater through fitting 7.
Along the axis of the tank there is a flame tube 5 with a diameter of 80 mm, through which hot gases pass from the combustion chamber and heat the water. To increase heat transfer, a gas flow extension 6 is placed inside the flame tube. A draft breaker 24 is placed on top of the pipe. 8 In the firebox 8 of the water heater there is a gas burner 9 low pressure injection type. On the gas pipeline 22, as well as in front of the burner and igniter, plug valves 21 and gas valves 20 are installed. To maintain a constant water temperature, a sensitive element 13 of the thermostat is installed in the middle part of the water heater tank.
Gas enters the burner through solenoid valve 19, which is turned on when button 18 is pressed, and thermostat valve 17. Near the igniter tube 14 there is a thermoelectric thermometer tube 15 and a thermoelectric thermometer 12 with a bimetallic plate that regulates the passage of gas to the burner.
The water heater tank is constantly under pressure from the water supply. The ignition field of the burner is heat from its flame and hot gases passing through the flame tube heat the water.
When the water in the tank is heated to a predetermined temperature, the brass tube of the regulator's sensitive element lengthens and pulls back the rod of the regulator lever connected to it. The regulator levers are moved by a lever spring to another position and release the regulator valve. The valve closes under the action of its spring and the flow of gas through the regulator to the burner stops. The flame in the burner goes out, but the igniter burns because gas is supplied to it through the solenoid valve.
When the water in the tank cools below the set temperature, the regulator tube, cooling, shortens and presses the rod on the regulator lever. The regulator levers are moved by a lever spring to their original position and open the regulator valve. The gas flows through the solenoid valve and the regulator valve to the burner and is ignited by the igniter. If the igniter goes out, the thermoelectric thermometer will cool, the electric current in the circuit will disappear, the solenoid valve will close and stop gas access to the burner and igniter. To regulate the amount of air supplied to the burner 9, an air supply regulator 10 is used.
The device is also equipped with automatic draft and flame control, which stops the gas supply if there is no draft from the chimney or the pilot burner flame goes out.
Technical characteristics of AGV water heaters
When installing residential heating and hot water supply from the AGV-80 water heater (Fig. 245), the cold water pipeline is connected to the water heater through the lower drain fitting. On the water supply line they put check valve and valve and arrange a branch with a valve to drain water from the system. Hot water is directed through the upper fitting and riser into the expansion vessel, from which the upper hot line of the heating system is laid. The hot riser is insulated. To increase circulation pressure, it is recommended to install radiators at a height of 30-35 cm from the bottom of the device to the floor.
Rice. 245. Scheme of apartment heating and hot water supply from the gas water heater AGV-80:
1 - pipe to the chimney, 2 - safety line from the valve, 3 - pipeline to the heating system, 4 - pipeline from the heating system
The return line is connected to the lower drain fitting after the check valve. A drain pipe is led from the expansion vessel to the sink. A safety valve is installed on the hot riser, from which a pipe is laid to the washbasin or sink. Hot water is supplied to sanitary fixtures, as shown in the figure. For ease of ignition of the igniter and maintenance of the water heater, it is installed on a stand. When installing the water heater on a wooden floor, place it underneath steel sheet on asbestos cardboard.
For heating separate rooms with an area of 30 to 150 m2, heating devices AOG-5, AOGV-20, respectively, operating on natural and liquefied gas are used. The devices are made in the form of a rectangular cabinet (Fig. 246), the front surfaces of which are covered with white silicate enamel. The main elements of the apparatus are the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, burners (one or two), automatic device combustion safety, which provides control of the presence of a flame on the ignition burner and draft in the chimney and an automatic device for regulating the water heating temperature, which maintains its heating temperature within specified limits and, when the maximum is reached, turns off the gas supply to the main burner.
