Ariston double-circuit gas boilers - operating instructions, price and reviews

Double-circuit gas appliances make our lives more comfortable and enjoyable. They are quite practical to use, suitable for heating country houses and small apartments. They are used for heating industrial or warehouse buildings with an area of no more than 500 sq.m.

The advantages of Ariston boilers are that in addition to heating buildings in winter, they heat water used in everyday life all year round. This is quite convenient and does not require the installation of additional equipment.

General characteristics of Ariston boilers

The description of Ariston gas units must begin with the characteristics of their main part - the burner. This element is used to burn fuel and release thermal energy into the heating system.

Types of boiler burner:

regular
modulation

The modulation burner is more convenient to use. It provides automatic power control depending on the temperature of the device.

According to the type of exhaust of combustion products, burners are divided into:

closed type
open type

Units with a closed burner are safer to use. In this case, natural gas combustion products do not enter the room. The use of a chimney is not required. A coaxial pipe is simply connected to the device and taken out.

The design of the coaxial pipe provides for the presence of two layers, which ensures the simultaneous removal of waste and the flow of air from the street into the burner.

Equipment with an open burner requires the use of a chimney to remove combustion products.

Condensing type models

Ariston condensing units are divided into:

Alteas one net;
Genus one;
Clas Premium evo.

The Alteas line includes boilers with a capacity of 24-35 kW. They are equipped with a copper heat exchanger, a modulating burner with 10 modes, and a built-in WI-FI module. Efficiency=96-97%. The “Auto” function involves connecting weather-sensitive devices. The unit is adapted to Russian operating conditions: it operates at low gas pressure and severe frosts. The coolant heats up in the range of 35-82ºC.

Technical data of Ariston gas appliances

Ariston boilers are used for heating and water heating, that is, they are double-circuit. Each modification has its own characteristics, but the common type of fuel is gas.
The gas combustion chamber can be either open or closed. If there is a chimney, units with an open chamber are used. And in apartments of multi-storey buildings, where there are not always chimneys, equipment with a closed combustion chamber is used.
Power. Using this indicator, the gas consumption required to heat the room is calculated.
Compactness. Wall-mounted units are used in small, narrow rooms. Floor-standing units used in production or warehouse areas are heavier and require more space for installation.
Availability of a control unit. This element is indispensable when the water is turned off or when there is a sharp decrease in gas. In case of any malfunction, the unit will immediately turn off the device, which will prevent breakdown. It can also help you save fuel consumption.

Choosing a gas appliance for heating

Ariston products can be found in catalogs. There are many models of gas appliances available there. The main mistakes when choosing the wrong unit are made from a lack of information. Therefore, before visiting the store, you should familiarize yourself with the basic tips for choosing a wall-mounted gas appliance.

When choosing a boiler, consider the following points:

The size of the kitchen as the place where the heating device is most often installed. In the store, the choice begins by considering the overall dimensions of the device and selecting it individually for your kitchen.
Next, move on to the technical data and study the type of water heater in the device. If there are a large number of people in the family, then it is not recommended to purchase a boiler with an instantaneous water heater.
In this case, it is more rational to purchase a boiler with a storage tank for hot water and select equipment for the amount of water that you will need for everyday use.
Evaluate the combustion chamber of gas equipment. It can be closed or open. It is recommended to choose a boiler with a closed chamber because it is safer to use. The presence of a chimney is not necessary, which is important in multi-storey buildings. All you have to do is buy a coaxial pipe and put it outside.

How to secure?

When installing, you need to consider the following points:

Anchor bolts are used for fastening. Install on any wall - solid or load-bearing. Wall material – brick, aerated concrete blocks, reinforced concrete slabs.
Pipe connections are carried out according to the instructions. The data sheet describes in detail the purpose of all pins. Shut-off valves are installed directly in front of the apparatus. Cleaning filters and a pressure relief valve are installed at the water supply point.
Most Ariston models are equipped with a coaxial chimney - exhaust gases are removed through a hole in the wall.
Additionally, the equipment is equipped with a circulation pump.
Control unit – regulation of the temperature of hot water and coolant.
Ariston models are non-volatile, so the instructions require the mandatory installation of a UPS.

Insufficient circulation, error 104. How I looked for the cause

According to the manual, I determined that 104 is “Insufficient circulation.” I reason: What could interfere with normal circulation? After all, the required flow of coolant can be hindered, for example, by a clogged filter in the heating system or slag that has accumulated in the primary heat exchanger. Or maybe the reason is the circulation pump? Has the pump really fallen off? To check it, unscrew the bleed screw on it, this will allow you to see whether the shaft rotates or not.

There is a slot on the shaft for a wide, flat screwdriver, I tried to turn the shaft with a screwdriver... it didn’t jam, it rotates. I try to start the boiler and see if the shaft rotates. The cauldron reproduces its terrible sounds and again goes into defense. The shaft does not rotate. At the moment of startup I tried to turn it with a screwdriver.... I thought, what if a “dead center” suddenly appeared..... no, the shaft did not rotate.

I decided to check the supply voltage of the pump. When the presence of 220 volts was detected on the chip, the output was unambiguous.... Pump to be replaced. Ehh I think, again unforeseen expenses.

However, the conclusion was hasty; when I looked for the wires going from the board to the circulation pump motor, I noticed that there were more than two of them. For what? I started looking into it and this is what I found out:

Nuances of pressure drop in boilers from different manufacturers

Ariston

This manufacturer has a bypass element that allows you to solve the problem of how to increase the pressure in the Ariston boiler during a power outage.

It allows you to reduce excessive heating of the heat exchanger due to insufficient water flow. The flow of coolant in the system starts, bypassing the circulation pump.

Baxi

The minimum pressure for these boilers is half a bar; if it is insufficient, errors E40 and E41 are displayed on the boiler screen. It can be adjusted with a tire pump, since the valve on Baksi boilers is a regular car nipple.

Note! When the coolant is first introduced into the system, the boiler may display error E10, it goes away automatically

Navien

These Korean boilers are designed for a pressure drop of up to 0.1 bar, which minimizes emergency blockages. Such units are ideal for high-rise buildings. The boiler is equipped with a system of nozzles, protective systems and supply devices that allow it to operate at a pressure reduced to 4 mbar. You can regulate the pressure using a remote control.

Plunging into history

Few people know that the history of the company, which today produces the best heating boilers in its segment, began with a small family-type enterprise. The talent of its founders - the Merloni family - turned a small company into a thriving company with a huge staff of talented employees.

The success of the enterprise lay in the stable improvement of product quality. It was this priority that was set by the leaders of Ariston. Naturally, trust in the brand grew every year, as the brand offered increasingly higher quality, reliable and durable units, the functionality of which was also steadily expanding. This applies to absolutely the entire Ariston product line.

Vittoria Merloni, the founder of the company, sought to satisfy the needs of the market to the maximum extent possible

He paid attention to the smallest requests of potential clients. As an example, from a certain point the product undergoes a safety test for pets

Even today, few manufacturers care about this parameter. For Ariston, this is one of the stages of monitoring the safety of its products.

Over the years of its existence, the company has accumulated sufficient experience in the production of water heating equipment to today offer customers perfect engineering solutions in all respects. Today, Ariston can rightfully be considered one of the leaders in the household appliances market, since the company occupies an honorable third place in the world in terms of sales volumes. Naturally, heating equipment brings the lion's share of all profits. That is why the newly formed subsidiary Hotpoint-Ariston, part of the famous Indesit Company, is one of the priority objects for investment of the large giant's funds.

In practice, everything is so - the corporation is investing serious amounts in the development of Ariston’s scientific and technical base, education and training of its personnel, as well as expanding the range of products offered. That is why we can safely say that the manufacturer will surprise consumers more than once with interesting technical solutions aimed at ensuring comfort in the homes of its potential buyers.

Who makes Ariston washing machines?

In household appliance stores, customers often ask consultants who the manufacturer is and where they assemble Ariston brand machines. The question is quite logical, because the quality, and therefore the durability, of household appliances depends on the manufacturing company. Most often in our stores you can find cars whose country of origin is the Russian Federation.

Let's dig deep into history - some facts:

In 1930, the company founded by Aristide Merloni began manufacturing scales.
In 1945, the company found its place in the niche of electric water heaters. In the same year, the Ariston brand appeared.

Ariston is translated from Greek as “successful”. As you name the ship, so it will float - in this case the proverb fully justifies its existence.
In the 70s, the company was divided into three companies, of which Elettrodomestici dealt with household appliances.
By the end of the 80s, Elettrodomestici was establishing mass production of products.
In 1975, the first plant called Indesit was opened in Italy, producing appliances for home and everyday life. Already in the 80s, Indesit equipment became recognizable in Europe, so Vittorio Merloni, owner of Elettrodomestici, decided to buy the brand.

In the late 90s, Merloni decided to buy the French Scholtes, after which he acquired the British Hotpoint, thus entering three markets at once - French, English and Irish.
In the mid-2000s, the Indesit brand became so famous that it was decided to rename the Elettrodomestici company to Indesit Company.
A representative office of the company opened in the Russian Federation in the mid-90s. Domestic markets accepted the products with a bang.
In 2000, Merloni bought Lipetsk, which also began producing equipment under the Indesit brand.

In 2004, the first plant in Russia was launched.

After , the brand had to be renamed, but this did not happen in every country. In Russia, cars and other equipment from Merloni now have a double name - Hotpoint Ariston.

As a result, Merloni today owns 4 major brands: Hotpoint, Stinol, Indesit and Ariston. In Russia, these brands are the undoubted leaders.

Now you know whose production these washing machines are. But where the washing machine is produced does not affect its functionality, the presence of advanced technologies and the general principles of manufacturing. Only the build quality may suffer, but experts can judge that.
