Why does the ATON gas boiler go out
Aton Group products are made of European quality materials. But sometimes the question still arises: “why does the ATON boiler go out?”
Description of boilers
Products manufactured under the ATON brand are leaders in the sales of heating equipment, so customers rarely turn to service centers. The brand has existed since 2003 and during this time has earned many quality certificates.
The most popular is a gas boiler (single- and double-circuit), although such equipment has always seemed dangerous and whimsical to operate. This is not true. Gas heating technology has a number of advantages.
- chimneyless with a large selection of capacities;
- compact from 8 kW to 12.5 kW;
- chimney (16-50 kW).
The fixtures are environmentally friendly, have a stainless steel burner that can tolerate high temperatures, and work with a three-way motor that reduces nitrogen oxide levels. The appearance of the gas boiler is universal, so it can be easily installed in rooms with any design. Boilers are easy to use.
Why does the ATON boiler go out?
The causes of problems with such equipment may vary. To repair and eliminate unpleasant issues, you first need to find out about the essence of the problem that has arisen. The problem due to which the wick goes out is a malfunction of the gas pipeline, chimney system, hot water supply or electrical network. This does not depend on the heating object itself. Flaws must be sought in a burnt or littered thermocouple and in the breakdown of automation contacts.
The most popular difficulties relate to smoke extraction and too low gas pressure. The culprit of such events is a network failure and sudden pressure drops, so you should purchase a stabilizer that will save you from unnecessary trouble.
The igniter of a gas facility usually goes out due to clogging of dirt in the nozzles and filters that conduct air.
Since ATON boilers are equipped with modern automatic shutdown functions in emergency situations, you can be sure of their safety. However, if the boiler goes out, you should contact the master, who will take care of fixing the problem.
In some cases, the malfunction of the boiler is caused by weather conditions that interfere with the normal operation of the device. Stopping the action of the unit is connected with the traction force. It is redundant, insufficient, reverse.
What to do if the boiler goes out?
What to do if the boiler is out? If the filters are dirty, you can even clean the parts yourself, but if the problem is more serious, such as the igniter gap, you need the professionalism of a master who can replace some parts or check the equipment if necessary.
How to fix a failed heat engineering due to wind and frost? It is necessary to clean the gas outlet pipe, which could be clogged due to excessive accumulation of soot, soot. You also need to make the air flow to the maximum.
For the productive operation of the boiler, it is imperative to monitor it, so initially it is advisable to choose a suitable place and take into account all possible situations. Valuable advice would be a reminder that the gas outlet pipe must be insulated, 0.5 meters higher from the roof ridge and with a diameter suitable for a certain equipment power.
How to connect the ATON gas boiler correctly?
Before using the device, you must read the instructions for it and clearly follow all the points. But if you ordered the services of a specialist, you can control his work.
You need to turn on ATON gas boilers in this way:
- The control lever must be directed to the anti-clockwise position.
- Having pressed this lever all the way, you should press the igniter button without releasing the handle.
- Within 10 seconds of burning the igniter, this lever must be held in the last position.
- After these manipulations, the lever can be released and the presence of fire on the igniter can be checked.
- The main burner starts when the control lever is turned clockwise to the position against the sign.
- Temperature control is quite simple. One has only to turn the arrow, which is located on the front panel, to the desired position.
It must be remembered: even when the flame goes out and the thermocouple cools down, the valve is not held by the magnetic block, which blocks the access of gas.
After eliminating the causes of the boiler’s extinction and turning off the valve, it is required to turn on the device again as indicated in paragraphs 2 to 5.
Let the work of technology please you and do not fail. The more carefully and accurately you treat the equipment, the longer it will last.
The principle of operation and the device of a gas type convector
Consider a gas convector, its principle of operation is very simple and is based on the ability of gas to change properties with an increase in temperature. When cold air passes through the heat exchanger of a convector unit, it heats up, decreases in weight and begins to rise. Next come new portions of air masses. This process is called convection.
The convector can work on liquefied gas and natural gas.
To change the power supply of the device, the gas valve must be reset. Most often, a gas convector is placed under a window. This allows the unit to work more efficiently. Since it is in this place of the room that the heat loss is greatest.
Let's consider the device of a gas convector for heating a dwelling. As a rule, the device consists of the following components:
- Frame. Performs protective and decorative functions. Made from high strength metal. The surface is treated with heat-resistant paint with anti-corrosion properties.
- Heat exchanger. Designed for air heating.
- Gas-burner. located inside the heat exchanger. Consists of the main and ignition parts.
- combination valve. Allows you to control the level of gas pressure.
- System of removal of combustion products.
- Tangential fan. Responsible for the rate of supply of heated air, improves the process of heating the room.
Depending on the device, all devices are divided into two types: fireplace and parapet. The principle of operation of the fireplace type is similar to the operation of a conventional stove. Parapet options are safer and more environmentally friendly. Installing them is easier. Therefore, it is the most widely produced and used type.
Installation of a gas convector
It is very easy to install a gas type convector on your own
But before moving on to the installation process, it is important to choose the right model of the device. On sale there are both domestic inexpensive options, and foreign ones, the cost of which is higher.
The most important thing is that the product is of high quality and reliable.
Convector Alpine air
Of the imported devices, one can name the Alpine air gas convector from a Turkish manufacturer. This is a high-quality series of devices with a cast-iron heat exchanger. The appearance of the unit is quite attractive. The heating power ranges from 2.5-9 kW. There are products equipped with a fan.
Convector Akog
It is worth noting the Ukrainian gas convector Akog for heating. The manufacturer produces five models with power from 2.3 to 5 kW. The service life is quite large and is 15 years. All models are equipped with Italian safety automatics, microtorch igniter.
When gas equipment is purchased, it is necessary to determine the location of its location. It must fit the size of the device. It is allowed to place convectors only under the window.For installation, you need to prepare the following tools: an electric drill, a pipe cutter, mounting foam, silicone, a wrench, a metal-plastic pipe, a set of screwdrivers, a gas valve, plastic dowels and self-tapping screws.
When the place is chosen, mark the output of the coaxial pipe. Using a perforator, a hole with a round crown is cut. It is necessary that there is a slight slope towards the street. This will avoid problems in rainy weather.
The dimensions of the pipe offset are made taking into account the characteristics of the model. The device is attached to the wall with four dowels. Studs may also work. It all depends on the weight. A gap is formed between the pipe and the wall. It must be filled with special mounting foam. Gas is supplied either by a flexible gas hose or a rigid pipeline
It is important to check the tightness of the connection. The fan and automation are powered by the mains, which must be connected individually
But you can also connect a gas convector on bottled gas.
Despite the fact that gas reviews of all users converge on heating convectors on such an advantage of these units as ease of installation, it is advisable to trust the installation to specialists with a license to carry out such work. This is especially true for connection to the gas pipeline. After all, the safety and durability of the operation of the equipment largely depends on the quality of the installation.
Characteristics of gas convectors
Considering the gas heating convector reviews, we can say that consumers highly appreciate these devices. And this is not surprising. After all, gas-type convectors have a lot of positive aspects. Of course, like any device, there are a number of disadvantages, but they are not significant.
The main advantages are:
Uninterrupted work. Even with a power outage, gas-type convectors continue to function. Ability to convert equipment to work on liquefied gas
And this is very important. What is confirmed by the reviews of many users on gas convectors on liquefied gas
Automatic maintenance of the selected heat supply mode. Democratic price. During operation, the unit does not burn oxygen.
In the room there is no need to lay a pipeline, as with a water type of heating. Installing the convector is very simple and you can do the procedure yourself. Maintainability. All spare parts for convectors can be purchased at any specialized store.
Of the minuses, one can name the need to obtain permission for the installation, the gas pipeline must be brought separately to each convector, the dimensions are slightly larger than those of a water radiator. The most important disadvantage is that rather large holes will have to be punched in the outer wall for installation.
