Technical characteristics of gas water heaters MORA-TOP: pros and cons

Device

MORA-TOP geysers are simple and reliable equipment, but despite this they do an excellent job of their main function. Their innovative solutions provide a high degree of reliability:

• preventing leakage by separating moving parts from water;
• turbulators inside the heat exchanger repel scale and accelerate heating;
• The heat exchanger tubes have d = 18 mm, therefore, by cooling the walls, overheating of the equipment is eliminated.

Their internal structure consists of the following components:

1. Ignition block.
2. Heat exchanger.
3. Shut-off and control valves.
4. Burner.
5. Control block.
6. Burner.

Today on the Russian market we can find gas mounted boilers, gas flow-through columns, electric mounted boilers, as well as stationary cast iron floor boilers. MORA-TOP equipment brings unforgettable comfort and warmth to its buyer’s home.

Geyser MORA-TOP model 10 MAX and VEGA 10 E MAX

The presented MORA-TOP Geyser has a thermal power of 17.3 kW, with a water flow of 10 liters per minute. The difference between VEGA 10 MAX and VEGA 10 E MAX

is, as you can see, the index
E
, which indicates that the model is equipped
with electric ignition. The column is perfect for heating water in homes and offices. Model characteristics:

Advantages:

• The operation of the water heater is very simple.
• The model has an average water flow of 10 liters/min
• Thermal power 17.30 kW
• Equipped with an electric ignition system.
• Equipped with an open combustion chamber
• Wall mounting with bottom gas and water supply
• Safety systems are standard: overheating and gas control
• The controls are simple; two knobs control the water heating temperature limit and the burner flame size.

Geyser MORA-TOP VEGA model VEGA 10 and VEGA 10 E

Gas water heaters VEGA E are presented by the manufacturer as an absolutely “star” example of a water heater from the Czech company MORA-TOP. The column is perfect for heating domestic water in consumer homes and in enterprises. the column, as in the previous model, has electric ignition if there is an E .

Thanks to their small dimensions, laconic design and remarkable technical characteristics, Vega geysers, according to the manufacturer, are superior to all similar products on the water heating equipment market. The characteristics of the model are completely identical to VEGA 10 MAX and VEGA 10 E MAX

respectively.

Geyser MORA-TOP model VEGA 13 and VEGA 13 E

Column VEGA 13 is one of the representatives of the bright family from the MORA-TOP company.

A distinctive feature of the model is the increased power up to 22.6 kW. This power allows you to work with productivity from 6.5 to 13 liters per minute. At the same time, the column is equipped with reinforcement made from combined materials from the German company Mertik. The manufacturer guarantees that the column will turn on even with a water flow of 3.25 liters per minute. Model characteristics:

Advantages

:

• The model is not large in size
• Fairly simple operation and maintenance of the device
• The operation of the column is fully automated.
• The manufacturer guarantees gas savings of up to 10%
• Quite high efficiency in the water heater segment: 92%
• Heat exchanger with tubes ⌀ 18 mm
• Convenient, simple, smooth power control using knobs on the front panel
• Automatic retention of the set temperature.

Thanks to design innovations, Mertik combined fittings were used, as a result of which moving parts are excluded from working in the aquatic environment. Thus, one of the main reasons for the breakdown of most speakers was solved - namely, water leakage. As you know, the weak point is precisely the junction of the water and gas fittings.

As we know, leaks of this kind require replacement of the entire structural unit. The heat exchanger with tubes is equipped with turbulators, which prevent the formation of scale on the walls of the heat exchanger. Additionally, turbulators provide instant water heating.

Geyser MORA-TOP model VEGA 16 and VEGA 16 E

It’s not hard to guess that the VEGA 16 E column is the most powerful “beast” of the bright family from the MORA-TOP company.

The power of the model reaches up to 26.4 kW. with water flow up to 15.2 liters per minute. Exactly, like previous models, it is equipped with an emergency thermostat responsible for overheating the water inside the heat exchanger.

The backdraft valve prevents combustion products from entering the room. In any case, of course you need to monitor the chimney and check the draft regularly. All columns are equipped with an ionization electrode. This electrode blocks the gas if the flame goes out. You can be sure that the burner will not burn without a lack of water flow. Model characteristics:

Advantages

:

• The model is not large in size
• Fairly simple operation and maintenance of the device
• The operation of the column is fully automated.
• The manufacturer guarantees gas savings of up to 10%
• Quite high efficiency in the water heater segment: 92%
• Heat exchanger with tubes ⌀ 18 mm
• Convenient, simple, smooth power control using knobs on the front panel
• Automatic retention of the set temperature.
• Thanks to turbulators, economical heating of hot water supply is achieved

To summarize the review, it should be added that when choosing the Mora Vega 13 product, get ready for the fact that the MORA-TOP gas water heater will most likely be the most expensive in the water heater category. The family indicators allow you to select a column for all life support needs up to three water collection points. The device works perfectly with both natural and liquefied gas. Detailed operating instructions can be found on the website in the documentation section.

Dear ladies and gentlemen, if you have experience with MORA-TOP water heaters, positive or negative, we ask you to leave a short review. Perhaps your review will help the future owner in choosing.

Burner

There are several types of MORA-TOP geysers, in which the burner design is slightly different:

1. Semi-automatic boilers. The housing consists of the main and pilot burners. Before starting, the igniter is ignited, then operation occurs in automatic mode. This type of speaker is one third cheaper, but they are more reliable.
2. Automatic boilers. Their main difference is the absence of an ignition wick. Instead, electronic ignition is used, which, when the tap is opened, supplies a spark to the main gas burner, due to which ignition occurs. When turned off, the gas supply is automatically cut off and the flame goes out. They are more convenient to use, but you often have to change the batteries on electronic ignition.

Specifications

The minimum service life of geysers from this company is ten to twelve years. With regular maintenance and repairs, the MORA-TOP geyser can last up to twenty years.

MORA-TOP VEGA MAX – wall-mounted units. The columns use water-gas fittings and Czech copper. Equipped with automatic temperature support. Can be semi-automatic or automatic.

MORA-TOP VEGA 10 is a new generation device. It has a small size, modern design, and is considered the best in the market of thermal and water heating equipment.

Design features - the presence of an overheating limiter and a flame fuse. The device will not start the gas burner if there is no pressure. Units with the letter E in the name have electric ignition.

A little about the company
