Electric boiler Proterm A heating ramp is the most common model in Russia among all manufacturers represented on the domestic market. Good quality European assembly and reliability of components, many positive feedback for Protherm electric boilers and reasonable prices contributed to their popularity among buyers, both in Russia and abroad.

To understand the advantages and disadvantages of Slovak heating equipment, it is necessary to analyze the technical characteristics and design of wall-mounted electric boilers of the Proterm Skat series, the model range presented on the market, and connection features. We will also consider problems and malfunctions that may arise during operation of the device, errors and methods for eliminating them.

The lineup electric boilers Proterm Skat, type K(KR)

Today, the Slovak company Protherm is represented on the Russian market not only with its boilers, but also with eight models of electric boilers of the Skat K(KR) type, differing in power consumption and connection to the electrical network. The country of origin of water heaters is Slovakia.

The company produces only single-circuit devices capable of heating a private house with a total area from 30 to 280 m2. Among them, both single-phase ones stand out - with the ability to connect to a 220 V power supply network, and three-phase ones - 380 Volts.

Electric boiler Proterm: photo


The main difference between electric boilers of this model range is their rated power, which can be 6 or 9 kW, 12, 14 or 18 kW, 24 and 28 kW. Depending on the chosen model, these are the units:

low power: Scat 6K and 9K;
- medium power: Scat 12K, 14K and 18K;
— high power: Skat 21K, 24K and 28K.

The operation of the Proterm electric boiler is controlled using special buttons, made in the form of multi-directional arrows, on the front panel of the heating apparatus.

They can set the required water temperature in the heating system, as well as in the remote boiler indirect heating, which is purchased when it is necessary to obtain hot water for household needs. In addition, the button " Mode/Ok» you can turn on (set) the desired operating mode of the electric boiler:

— traditional mode for heating (25-85 °C);
— “warm floor” mode (30-45 °C);
— hot water preparation mode in an indirect heating boiler (35-70 °C).

The multifunctional LCD display informs about the temperature in the heating circuit and the boiler, as well as about problems and errors in the operation of the boiler in case of any malfunctions. Above the display there are lights that light up depending on the set operating mode of the device, changes in power consumption and insufficient water pressure in the system.

By default, everything electric boilers“Protherm” are 3-phase, however, low-power models of 6 and 9 kW (“Skat 6K” and “Skat 9K”) can be connected to a single-phase 220 V network. Medium power devices are designed for heating a house with an area of ​​up to 180 m2, and high-power boilers - more than 20 kW - can be installed in private houses or other premises with a total area of ​​up to 280-300 m2. Let's look at the table.

Proterm Skat: cable cross-section, energy consumption


Features of the Proterm electric boiler

The heating apparatus consists of several main elements necessary for its full operation.

1. Copper heat exchanger cylindrical shape for heating the coolant.
2. Block of heating elements made of copper of different power and quantity with multi-stage switching.
3. Expansion tank 7 liters to compensate for thermal expansion in the heating system.
4. Hydraulic group consisting of:

- three-speed circulation pump ;
— safety valve at 3 bar;
— automatic air vent.

Also on line heating circuit An NTS temperature sensor is installed, as well as an emergency sensor that protects the unit from overheating. There is a system to protect the device from freezing. and from blocking the circulation pump.

Electric heating elements are built into the heat exchanger of the Proterm boiler, top and bottom. Depending on the model, the number of heating elements may vary. For example, in Skat 6K, 9K, 12K and 14K devices two heating elements are installed, in Skat 18K and 21K there are three heating elements, in 24K and 28K there are four. For each model, heating element blocks have different power.

Electric boiler connection: water circuit, cable

Connecting a Protherm electric boiler


1. Like most modern wall-mounted heating devices, all connectors for connecting the boiler are located at the bottom of the housing. This is done to save space in the room in which the electric boiler is installed.

2. The heating water circuit is connected using two threaded fittings with a diameter of 3/4″. On the left is the return line (coolant inlet to the boiler), on the right is the direct line (output).

3. Nearby are located: overflow for the safety valve, drain valve, as well as connectors for connecting electric cable different sections. You can monitor the pressure in the heating system using the readings of the pressure gauge, which is also located in the lower part of the device body.

Electric boilers Proterm Skat: technical characteristics, dimensions

Proterm boilers have fairly compact dimensions of 410 x 740 x 310 mm, which allows them to fit harmoniously into the interior even completely small kitchen or boiler room. We look at the remaining technical characteristics in the table.

Technical characteristics of Proterm electric boilers


Errors and malfunctions of the Proterm electric boiler: methods for troubleshooting problems

1. Error code F00, F10, F13, F19.

These codes tell us that the NTS temperature sensor is faulty. It may need to be replaced or the electronic board replaced. But first check that the cable connections are working properly.

2. Error F20.

The emergency temperature limiter sensor or thermal fuse is faulty. Try to short-circuit them one by one. If the boiler turns off again, replace the faulty element.

3. Error F22.

This error indicates a “dry” start of the electric boiler. Add water pressure in the system, it should be at least 0.6 Bar. There may also be air present in pipes and radiators.

4. Error code F41 and F55. The relay or contactor is stuck. Check these parts for defects.

5. Error F63. No communication with EEPROM. Reset settings to factory defaults.

6. Errors F73 and F74.

Errors under these codes indicate problems with the water pressure sensor. You need to check the contacts or replace the sensor itself.

7. Errors F85 and F86. Freezing of water in the electric boiler itself (F85) or in the indirect heating boiler (F86).

We looked in detail electric boilers Proterm Heating ramp, entire model range and technical specifications. Having disassembled the internal structure according to the operating instructions, we identified the main advantages and disadvantages of these devices. We also focused on possible errors if malfunctions occur and some ways to fix them yourself. Let's watch the video.

For heating and hot water supply of apartments and small private houses with one bathroom, double-circuit gas boilers are usually used.

IN big houses with several sanitary premises for heating, single-circuit gas boilers with storage boiler for preparing hot water. This system provides more comfortable use of hot water in the house.

In an apartment in a new building with apartment heating A Protherm Gepard 23 MTV double-circuit gas boiler was installed. Next, let's look at setting the boiler power using this apartment as an example.

Gas boilers of the Protherm Gepard series are almost a complete analogue (a simpler version) of the Protherm Panther boilers. This article describes in detail the adjustment and power settings of gas boilers Protherm Gepard and Protherm Panther.

It should be noted that the company that produces Protherm series boilers at its other plant produces gas boilers of the famous Vaillant brand. Vaillant gas boilers are in a higher price category due to the use of more quality materials for the manufacture of heat exchangers. But in design, other parts used, and service menu settings, Vaillant brand gas boilers are very similar to Protherm boilers.

The principles of adjustment and power settings described in this article Suitable for gas boilers of many other brands and manufacturers.

Internal structure of the double-circuit gas boiler Protherm Gepard 23 MTV and Panther 25.30 KTV (Panther)

Reasons for clocking (pulse operation) of the boiler in heating mode

The operating manual states that the useful thermal power of the Protherm Gepard 23 MTV boiler is regulated within the range from a maximum of 23.3 kW. to minimum 8.5 kW. The factory setting for power in heating mode is set to 15 kW.

The total area of ​​the apartment heated by the boiler is 60 m 2. To heat the apartment, heating devices (radiators) with a total maximum thermal power of 4 are installed kW.

How to determine the maximum thermal power of a heating circuit in a house or apartment

How to determine the maximum thermal power heating circuit? On the websites of radiator manufacturers and sellers we find the thermal power of each radiator installed in the house. In manufacturers' catalogs, the heat transfer of radiators is presented in 2 modes: 1) 90/70/20 degrees and 2) 75/65/20. You need to look at the heat transfer according to the “75-65/20” parameter. The sum of the powers of all radiators connected to the boiler will be equal to the maximum thermal power of the heating circuit. For the apartment from our example, this value turned out to be 4 kW.

The installers installed the boiler and put it into operation, “forgetting” to carry out the commissioning work. The boiler was started to work with the factory setting of maximum power in heating mode 15 kW.

Obviously, a heating system with a maximum power of only 4 kW., will not be able to accept the thermal energy produced by the boiler with a power of 15 kW. The power of the boiler burner is controlled automatically within certain limits. But the huge difference in the power of the boiler and heating devices leads to the fact that the boiler automation is not able to bring the boiler power in line with the needs of the heating system without additional settings.

The large difference between the power of a gas boiler and the power of heating devices, among other disadvantages, leads to cyclical operation of the boiler.

By the way, about other disadvantages of an overly powerful boiler. The service instructions for the Protherm Gepard 23 MTV boiler indicate its efficiency in heating mode: 93.2% at maximum thermal power (23.3 kW.) and 79.4% when operating at minimum power (8.5 kW.) Imagine how the efficiency will further decrease if this boiler has to work with a heating system with a power of 4 kW. Please note that a double-circuit boiler operates in heating mode most of the time throughout the year, with minimal power. At least 1/4 of the gas spent on heating will literally fly uselessly down the chimney. This will be the price to pay for installing overly powerful heating and hot water equipment in the house.

Tips on the topic “How to increase the efficiency of a gas boiler” can be found if you read this article to the end.

Excessive cyclicality, impulsiveness of work or, as people say, “clocking the boiler” manifests itself in the fact that the boiler burner, after being turned on, quickly turns off when the set temperature is reached in the straight pipe at the outlet of the boiler. But the radiators remain not heated to this set temperature - the water heated in the boiler simply does not have time to reach the heating devices. That is, the boiler produces more thermal energy per unit time than a less powerful heating circuit is capable of receiving. Therefore, the temperature of the water leaving the boiler rises quickly and it turns off earlier, without having time to heat the radiators.

After a short time, the circulation pump supplies the heat exchanger with the remaining cool water from the heating system return pipe and the burner turns on again. Then everything repeats again.

A high-power heating system has an increased pipe diameter and radiator volume, which means less hydraulic resistance. IN large systems the water does not flow exactly the same, it flows faster, with a higher flow rate (liters per second). During the rapid passage through the boiler heat exchanger, each liter of water only manages to heat up by 15-20 degrees o C. And in order to heat this liter to a given temperature, the water in the heating system must pass through the heat exchanger several times.

Low-power heating systems have thinner pipes, smaller radiators, higher hydraulic resistance and water flows slower. If you heat slowly flowing water with the same power, then the water entering the heat exchanger immediately, at one time, will heat up by 40-60 degrees o C, immediately to the maximum temperature, and the boiler will turn off. And the water remaining in the system, which has not reached the boiler, will remain cold until the next clock cycle. This is what happens in the boiler if its power is not adapted to the heating system.

The size of the flame (burner power) in the boiler is controlled electronically using a complex algorithm, which takes into account the time from the start of the burner, the temperature value, the rate of temperature change in the heating circuit, and the temperature difference in the forward and return pipes. I don’t know all the intricacies of the regulation algorithm, but automation, without additional service settings, does not ensure normal operation of the boiler at a power below the minimum specified in the technical specifications.

In a properly configured heating system, the temperature difference in the forward and return pipes should be no more than 20 o C.

Clocking reduces the service life of the boiler and increases gas consumption

Any person, even without being a mechanic or electrician, knows that the most difficult operating mode for equipment is the moment of startup, turning on mechanical and electrical equipment. During the start-up period, the greatest wear is observed, and failures most often occur. An increase in the number of starts as a result of cyclicity consumes the operating life of very expensive parts of the boiler the most - gas and three-way valves, circulation pump, exhaust gas fan.

To ignite at the moment of starting, the maximum amount of gas is supplied to the burner. Part of the gas, before the flame appears, literally flies into the pipe. Constantly “re-igniting” the burner further increases gas consumption and reduces the efficiency of the boiler.

Some cyclical operation of a gas boiler is provided for by its normal operating mode. For example, regulating the temperature in a room without a thermostat or using a two-position thermostat occurs by periodically turning the boiler burner on and off.

The task of regulating boiler power is to eliminate excessive cycling - clocking caused by a lack of adaptation of the boiler settings to the heating system.

To eliminate boiler clocking, it is necessary to equalize the power of the boiler and the heating circuit

You can do this in two ways:

  1. Reduce the boiler burner power to a level at which the automation can ensure normal operation of the boiler with the connected heating system.
  2. Increase the maximum power of the heating circuit by installing additional radiators or replacing existing ones with more powerful ones.

You can use both methods at once. Reduce the difference between the power of the boiler and the heating circuit by replacing and installing more powerful radiators. And then, compensate for the remaining difference by adjusting the boiler power.

The second method is more expensive, but sometimes you have to choose it. The fact is that, in order to save money, builders often install radiators in the house without a reserve of thermal power. As a result, in order to maintain the required temperature in the premises, in frosty conditions it is necessary to supply heating water to the radiators at a maximum temperature of more than 75 o C. At this temperature, decomposition (combustion) of organic dust particles occurs on the radiators and appears in the rooms. bad smell. In addition, the high temperature of the coolant shortens the service life of polymer pipes and other parts of the heating system made of plastic and rubber.

Sometimes, the power of radiators is simply not enough to maintain the required thermal conditions even at the maximum heating water temperature. Before adjusting the boiler power, I recommend determining the need, and, if necessary, increasing the power of the radiators by 30 - 100%, at least in the coldest rooms.


Top - standard temperature regime radiator operation in systems with plastic pipes. Below are the maximum radiator temperatures for comfortable, soft heat. To switch from standard mode to soft heat, the power (size) of the radiator must be increased by approximately 2 times.

The main advantage of low temperature heating is the possibility of using modern technologies. It's about O condensing boilers, solar collectors and heat pumps. They require that the system have low temperature heating water.

When replacing radiators, it is necessary to take into account that the expansion tank built into the boiler is designed for a volume of water in the heating system of no more than 50 liters for a Gepard boiler, and 70 liters for a Panther. If the amount of water as a result of installing new radiators turns out to be greater, then it is necessary to install an external expansion tank.

The external expansion tank is connected to the return line of the heating system closer to the boiler. In this case, it is better to disable the built-in expansion tank.

How to regulate the burner power of a gas boiler

The useful thermal output of a gas boiler can be reduced by reducing the gas supply to the burner. They do this by changing the gas valve settings.


Gas valve Honeywell boiler Protherm Gepard (Panther) - operating diagram.
EVS1— safety electric valve; EVS2— electric drive of the control valve; Vm— a stepper motor controls gas flow through a control valve.

IN modern boilers"Protherm Gepard" and "Protherm Panther" basic settings gas valve from Honeywell changed using a stepper motor. The stepper motor is controlled from the boiler control panel through the service menu.

It should be noted that the manufacturer in some versions of gas boilers Protherm Gepard (Panther), Vaillant, instead of a Honeywell gas valve, installs gas valve SIT 845 Sigma. The maximum and minimum burner power settings for this valve are made by rotating the adjusting screws located on the valve body. Read about the features of adjusting the SIT gas valve below, on page 2.

The electromechanical devices of the boiler (electric valves, stepper and conventional electric motors, sensors) are controlled by a microprocessor of the electronic control board in accordance with the programmed program. The boiler operating program settings can be changed on the control panel using two menus - a public user menu and a hidden service menu.

Description of some service menu commands

Line d.00— maximum heating output (net power) of the boiler in heating mode, kW. The range of possible parameter values ​​is from =9 to =23, factory setting = 15 (for Protherm Gepard).

Line d.01— run-on time of the circulation pump in heating mode, min., select a value between 2 and 60 min. Factory setting =5

Line d.02— Time delay after operation in heating mode for anti-cycling, min. Protects against frequent switching on and off of the burner in heating mode (this function is not applicable in DHW mode). Choose a value between 2 and 60 min. Factory setting = 20 minutes. This delay (called anti-cycling time) prevents a rapid restart in heating mode after the burner has stopped due to the set temperature or the room thermostat TA. It depends on the coolant temperature setting: - at 80 °C, it is set to 1 minute and is not adjustable. - at 20 °C, it can be adjusted from 1 to 60 minutes using the parameter d.02 in the service menu. At intermediate temperatures, between 20 °C and 80 °C, the delay value changes proportionally in the range from 1 min. up to set in d.02 parameter.


Dependence of anti-cycling time on the parameter value setting in the line d.02 and heating temperatures

Line d.18— operating mode of the circulation pump; Operating mode options: = 0 - with burner: the pump operates together with the burner. =1 - continuous; with RT thermostat: the pump is activated by the command of the room thermostat. =2 - constantly in winter: the pump runs all the time while the boiler is in WINTER mode. Factory setting =1.

Line d.19— speed of the circulation pump; Operating mode options: =0 - burner is running; speed in heating mode is selected automatically, maximum - in DHW mode, minimum - if the burner is turned off = 1 - min. speed in heating mode, max. – in DHW mode =2 – automatically selected in heating mode, max. – in DHW mode =3 — max. speed in heating and hot water mode. Factory setting =2. Each time the burner is started in heating mode, the pump starts with limited speed at least 30 seconds. If the temperature difference between supply and return reaches 20 OK, the pump switches to maximum speed before turning off the burner (even if the temperature difference has decreased). The same cycle occurs at the next ignition.

Line d.35— shows the position of the 3-way valve, heating/DHW (read only); =99 - hot water =0 - heating =40 - middle position

Line d.36— shows on the display the hot water consumption measured by the flow sensor, l/min. when dispensing hot water (read only)

Line d.40- shows on the display the temperature of the water leaving the boiler in the direct pipeline of the heating system, o C. (only for reading)

Line d.41- shows on the display the temperature of the water at the inlet to the boiler, in the return pipe of the heating system, o C. (only for reading)

Line d.44 — Ionization current control. This parameter informs that the ionization current is in the optimal range. The displayed value does not represent the actual current value! Range of values: 0 – 10. In the range: =0 – 4 – ionization current is sufficient – ​​flame is present; =4 – 8 – ionization current is slightly below a sufficient level – there is a possibility of flame loss; =8 – 10 – ionization current does not correspond to a sufficient level – there is no flame.

Line d.52— setting the minimum power of the boiler burner by shifting the minimum position of the Honeywell gas valve stepper motor. The range of possible parameter values ​​is from =0 to =99. The lower the parameter value, the weaker the intensity of gas combustion.

Line d.53— setting the maximum power of the boiler burner by shifting the maximum position of the Honeywell gas valve stepper motor. The range of possible parameter values ​​is from =0 to =-99 (negative values ​​with a minus sign). The lower the parameter value, the weaker the intensity of gas combustion.

Line d.62- lowering the heating temperature at night. Setting range 0 - 30 o C. If you connect a timer or even a manual switch to the boiler, you can switch the boiler into two modes: day or night. In night mode, the heating temperature setting is reduced by the amount set in d.62. Those. During the day, the temperature of the heating water and the temperature in the house are higher, and at night lower. You can set it the other way around.

Line d.67 — Displays the time between boiler starts. This parameter displays the cooling time in minutes before the boiler is turned on again. The countdown of minutes begins at the moment the boiler turns off due to exceeding the maximum set operating temperature of the heating water on the boiler control panel and the room regulator is permanently closed. This parameter is important for the anti-cycling function of the boiler, when the cooling time until the next switch-on is calculated based on the set boiler heating water temperature and the set anti-cycling time interval in line d.02.

Line d.70 — Setting the position of the three-way valve. In this mode, it is possible to set the position of the three-way valve, regardless of the heating requirements for a particular circuit. Three-way valve position: =0 - valve is controlled based on standard requirements from the control system; =1 - three-way valve is set to the middle position to empty the boiler (both heating and domestic hot water); =2 - the three-way valve is set to the heating position of the extract air.

Line d.71— Setting the maximum temperature in the heating system. Select a value from =45 to =80 °C. Factory setting =75 °C.

Line d.88 — Water hammer protection in the wiring cold water(for KTV and KOV boilers). The ability to change the parameter eliminates the reaction to water hammer, which in some cases occurs in cold water pipelines. For example, at closing automatic valve in the flush cistern of the toilet (or washing machine, or dishwasher) a pressure surge (water hammer) may occur in the water supply pipes. The consequence of this may be a false response of the flow sensor (turbine) tap water, which will lead to short-term unwanted activation of the DHW mode of the boiler. Factory setting =0 - activation of the ignition process for heating tap water at a flow rate of 1.5 l/min. Changing the parameter to value =1 - activation of the ignition process for heating tap water at a flow rate of 3.7 l/min. In this case, the flow duration should be at least 2 seconds.

Line d.90 — Identification of the connected room sensor. Using this parameter, it is possible to verify that the room regulator is correctly connected, or that the communication between the room regulator and the boiler is working properly. Attention: this description Applies only to controllers that support eBus communication. If a conventional regulator with a switching relay was connected, this function cannot be used. Display: =0 - the regulator is not connected or does not communicate with the boiler; =1 - the regulator is connected and there is communication between it and the boiler.

Line d.96— Setting the boiler to the parameters set at the factory. If the settings lead to incorrect operation or failures, it is possible to restore the boiler to factory settings. Setting: =0 - replacement with factory settings will not be performed; =1 - a return to factory settings will be made Note: when entering the setting of this parameter, the display always shows parameter “0”

How to eliminate boiler clocking in heating mode

Adjusting the maximum heating power of a Gepard or Panther boiler through the service menu

At the first stage in the service menu, as described above, we find the line d.0, press the “mode” button and look at the value of the boiler power parameter on the display, kW. In our example, the factory setting =15 was visible. It is necessary to set a new boiler power value equal to the power of the heating devices connected to the boiler. This setting will only work in heating mode.

If the power of the heating system corresponds to the operating range of boiler power

The maximum power of the heating system in the house may fall within the operating power range of the boiler specified in the instructions. For example, the total maximum power of radiators in a house is 11 kW. The operating power range of the Protherm Gepard 23 MTV boiler is within 8.5 - 23.3 kW.

In the service menu, as described above, find line d.0, press the “mode” button and look at the value of the boiler power parameter on the display, kW. For example, the factory setting =15 will be visible. Using the “-” button we set the new boiler power value = 11.

I recommend trying to set the boiler power to 20 - 30% less power heating circuit, for example d.00 =9 kW. This power should be enough to compensate for heat losses at home, since the power of radiators is usually chosen with some reserve.

Increasing the anticycling time

At the second stage, increase the anticycling time in the line d.02 service menu.

Factory setting d.02 = 20 minutes. According to the graph (see above) we determine that, for the heating water temperature specified on the display, 70 o C, restarting the burner is possible after 4 - 5 minutes, not earlier.

In line d.02 we set a new value for the anticycling time, for our example the maximum possible = 60 minutes. Line d.67 displays the time in minutes until the boiler is turned on again. Breaks in burner operation became approximately 10 minutes long. Twice as much as with the factory setting, which is still too often.

Increasing the anti-cycling time results in the burner turning on later, at a lower heating water temperature. The heat flow from the boiler to the heating circuit is reduced.

Thus, selecting the settings of the boiler power and anti-cycling time through the service menu, ensure that the cycle time between turning on the boiler burner is at least 15 minutes. That is, the boiler should be turned on no more than four times within one hour.

I note that not all brands of gas boilers have the ability to adjust the anti-cycling time. In this case, you only have to select the boiler power settings.

On some brands of gas boilers, the rotation speed (performance) of the circulation pump is set manually using a switch on the pump. To reduce the boiler clock, it is recommended to increase the pump speed.

Setting up a Gepard or Panther gas boiler for power below the minimum

At the third stage setup is in progress minimum boiler power, by an amount lower than specified in the instructions.

Such adjustment is not necessary in all cases, but only when the first and second stages do not bring the required result. As in our case, when at the first stage we use the “-” button to set a new boiler power value = 9 (the minimum possible setting corresponds to 8.5 kW.). The newly set maximum boiler heating power (8.5 kW) is still very different from the power of heating devices (4 kW).

It should be noted that adjusting the boiler power using the method described below is also useful in other cases, since it allows, through an experiment, to adjust the heating power of the boiler in accordance with the actual power of the heating circuit. The actual power is usually less than the calculated one.

Before carrying out work for setting the minimum burner power, necessary:

  • Fully open thermostatic and other valves on radiators and set the room thermostat to maximum temperature. The thermostat that controls the heated floors is set to the maximum permissible temperature so as not to overheat the floors.
  • In the custom menu of the boiler, set the maximum operating temperature, which is set by the owners in the coldest weather, adding another +5 °C. Usually it is not less than 65 °C. If the owners do not remember it, or on the new boiler in the menu they set the factory setting for the maximum temperature of 75 °C. The boiler burner will have to switch off automatically at a temperature of 5 °C more, i.e. at 80 °C.
  • Cool the heating circuit to a heating water temperature below 30 °C.

Next, start the burner in heating mode, select the line in the service menu d.52, press the “mode” button and see on the display the value of the gas valve stepper motor position parameter in the factory minimum power mode.

By removing the front cover of the boiler, we visually observe the size of the flame in the burner. In our example, the factory setting was displayed on the display, the number = 72, and the flame height in the burner was quite high.

Use the “-” button to set a new parameter value in the line d.52, for example =20. 3 seconds after the change, when the new value is automatically confirmed, we observe a significant decrease in the flame height in the burner. This indicates that the useful power of the boiler with the specified setting will be greatly reduced.

Next, observe on the display the increase in temperature in the direct heating pipeline at the outlet of the boiler. Typically, the temperature increase stops when it reaches some value less than the set value, for example 52 °C. The boiler is running, but the temperature does not increase (or changes very, very slowly). This means that a power balance has been achieved between the boiler and the heating system at this established water temperature. At this moment, we increase the parameter in line d.52 of the service menu, set a new value = 30 - the temperature begins to rise again and stops again, for example at 63 °C. Again we add the parameter value in line d.52 =35 and so select the parameter until the temperature stops at a value slightly higher than the maximum, for example 77 °C. In this way, a balance is achieved between the power of the boiler and the heating circuit at maximum operating temperature. The boiler power will be set to the minimum level required to operate with the connected heating circuit. In this case, the cyclic operation of the boiler will be minimal.

If the radiators do not warm up well in height, the temperature difference in the forward and return pipes at a maximum temperature is more than 15-20°, then increase the response pressure of the bypass valve. Read below on how to adjust the bypass valve. The water temperature in the forward and return pipelines can be seen on the display if you enter the service menu, lines d.40 and d.41.

In case of adjusting the bypass valve, the gas valve setting in line d.52 must be repeated.

In our example, the burner heated the water to a maximum temperature of 77 o C at the minimum value of the parameter in the line d.52, equal to =28 (factory setting was =72). With a lower parameter value, the burner could not heat the water to the specified temperature. And at a higher value, the burner heated the water to 80 o C and the boiler automatic switched off the combustion.

It should be noted that the method described above for adjusting the gas valve, which allows you to balance the boiler power with the power of the heating circuit through an experiment, is not included in the recommendations of the boiler manufacturer. This is the idea of ​​the author of the article, successfully implemented during setup autonomous systems heating with gas boilers.

Factory calibrated gas valve


Honeywell gas valve. 1 — fitting for measuring the gas pressure at the outlet to the burner; 2 — fitting for measuring inlet pressure.

The boiler manufacturer specifies Calibrate the minimum power on the gas valve as follows:

In line d.00 of the service menu, set parameter =9, which limits the boiler power to the minimum level specified in the instructions. Turn on the boiler in heating mode.

A pressure gauge tube is connected to the upper fitting at the gas valve outlet. Before connecting, it is necessary to unscrew the locking screw on the fitting 1-2 turns.

Call line d.52 service menu. And changing with buttons + And string parameter value d.52, set the gas valve outlet to the minimum pressure specified in the boiler operating manual. For example, for a Gepard 23 MTV boiler, the minimum pressure in front of the burner is 1.5 mbar or 15.5 mm.water.st..

This setting will ensure the boiler operates with the minimum power specified by the manufacturer - 8.5 kW. The boiler manufacturer's service instructions do not answer the obvious question of what to do if the power of the heating circuit connected to the boiler is less.

In our example, after setting up and installing in the line d.52 parameter =28, measuring the pressure at the outlet of the gas valve in front of the burner showed a value of 4 mm.water column

Readers in the comments ask the question: “Isn’t such a significant decrease in gas pressure on the burner dangerous for the boiler?” Boilers have many different protections, but there is no protection against low gas pressure on the burner. From this we conclude that low pressure in itself is not dangerous for the boiler. It is important to ensure stable ignition and stable combustion of gas, since the boilers have appropriate protection.

A home mechanic can roughly assess whether the gas valve settings correspond to the factory settings without resorting to measuring the gas pressure on the valve.

To do this, set parameter =9 in line d.00 of the menu and turn on the boiler in the minimum heating power mode. Record gas meter readings. After 15 minutes (1/4 hour), the meter readings are recorded again and the gas consumption during this time is determined. For example, we determined the gas consumption from the meter to be 0.289 m 3 /15 min. Multiply this value by 4 and get gas consumption per 1 hour in minimum power mode 1.156 m 3 /hour. Compare the obtained value with the data from the factory instructions. For example, standard flow rate gas in minimum power mode for the Cheetah 23 boiler MTV is 1.15 m 3 /hour. Gas consumption according to the meter readings approximately corresponds to the factory norm. We conclude that setting the gas valve in minimum power mode meets the requirements of the factory instructions. If not, then the gas consumption is adjusted by changing the parameter in line d.52.

Similarly, based on gas consumption, you can evaluate the setting of the gas valve at maximum power by switching the boiler to DHW mode.

Power 23.3 kW. corresponds to the maximum pressure at the valve outlet 85 mm.water column

U-shaped pressure gauge

A simple pressure gauge for measuring a gas valve can be made from a clear plastic tube, filled with water and bent into a U shape. One end of the tube is placed over the valve fitting and the other is left open. A ruler is used to measure the difference in water levels in the branches of the tube. The measured distance will be equal to the pressure in millimeters of water column - mm.water.st..

A tube with an internal diameter of 8 can be tightly pulled onto the gas valve fitting. mm. For a tube of a different diameter you will have to select an adapter.

At the end of the measurements, do not forget to carefully tighten the screw on the measuring fitting and check its tightness.

Construction of a Proterm gas boiler

Various modifications have individual characteristics of the device.

Manufacturing boilers using low-temperature cast iron helps to effectively minimize heat losses. A special feature of the design of heating devices of the Proterm brand is also an unusual, fairly environmentally friendly method of burning fuel.

The main components of gas heating equipment are presented:

  • ignition system;
  • burner;
  • heat exchanger.

The heat source is represented by the flame of a burner in which gas is burned, and a heat exchanger is responsible for heating the coolant. The gas supply process is regulated by a thermostat, while combustion products, represented mainly by water vapor and carbon dioxide, are discharged through the chimney system.

Brief operating instructions

Proper adjustment of Protherm gas boilers ensures optimal temperature conditions in rooms of different purposes and sizes. Among other things, the regulation of the automation of such equipment helps to increase the efficiency of the unit, and also makes its operation reliable and safe. Modern automation solves problems:

  • opening and closing valves in the gas supply system;
  • the process of starting the unit in automatic mode;
  • established or emergency shutdown of boiler equipment;
  • adjusting the flame level in the burner using a temperature sensor;
  • display on the screen of air temperature, coolant heating level and other parameters.

Instructions for setting up a gas boiler:

  • connecting a thermostat to a temperature sensor recorded in the room and setting the required values ​​allows you to obtain a comfortable heating temperature;
  • installation of a thermostatic valve on supply pipes in front of heating radiators helps to change the cross-sectional area of ​​the pipe and easily carry out the process of regulating the temperature of the coolant;
  • the first start of the system at the maximum temperature allows the coolant used to freely enter the tank, which contributes to its maximum filling;
  • Increased efficiency is facilitated by timely removal of scale and soot, as well as monitoring the lack of air in the system and installing a draft limiter;
  • regulation of pressure indicators is carried out using special valve regulators, and in order to increase the pressure, a circulation pump is installed;
  • reducing the power of the boiler burner is carried out automatically through the service menu, and increasing power is controlled by installing additional radiators or replacing existing ones with the most powerful models;
  • many units are characterized by full operation at a pressure of 1.5 atm., and normally this value is 0.3 atm. lower than the indicators in the heating system;
  • a slight decrease in the pressure level in the unit is restored during a standard restart;
  • automatic selection of the operating mode of the gas boiler helps maintain the desired temperature level even in the absence of consumers in the room for a long time.

The process of turning on the boiler for the first time is accompanied by its short and vigorous operation after the unit is fully connected to the heating system, making it easy to check the correct installation of the boiler equipment and the full functioning of the heating.
