Dragon is one of the leading developments of Russian heating equipment. Production is established in the city of Tchaikovsky, which is located in the Perm region. Service centers providing warranty service are located in all regions of the Russian Federation. The superiority of this brand's equipment is colorfully illustrated by its technical characteristics.

1. The power range of models on the market varies from 10 to 100 kW per hour. This variety allows you to choose a unit both for use in the private sector and for industrial areas. For enterprises with workshop premises with excessively large volumes, boilers with a power of 200 to 300 kW are being developed.
2. Heating boilers of this brand have record performance in terms of efficiency, which ranges from 88 to 94%, depending on the type of fuel.
3. The duration of fuel combustion after one filling is 8 hours, which allows you to comfortably use the unit in any weather without any extra effort.
4. To create Dragon boilers, heat-resistant steel is used, this significantly improves performance, and also increases reliability and guarantees the durability of heating equipment.

DRAGON boilers are suitable for operation on any available fuel. Plus, the installations are equipped with pellet burners, which allows you to sell pellets, as well as fuel granules.

TTC "Prometheus"

The next well-known manufacturer representing Russian solid fuel boilers is Boilers of this brand have excellent reviews from consumers. The power of the presented units of this brand allows you to heat rooms with a volume of up to 450 m2.

The main fuel for which these installations are oriented is coal, but they can also operate on other types of solid fuel; Prometheus solid fuel boilers use wood especially economically.

One of the distinctive characteristics of this brand of heating devices is their relatively small dimensions, and most of the boilers are distinguished by their energy independence.

The following advantages can be highlighted:

• dimensional loading chamber;
• long battery life;
• anti-corrosion coating of installations significantly extends their service life;
• independence from power grids.

The combustion process in Prometheus boilers uses an unusual technology. The burners of this system are located around a heat exchanger, which allows for increased efficiency and increased heat transfer. In addition, to increase the profitability of the equipment, a high level of thermal insulation of the housing was used.

An increase in fuel combustion time is facilitated by the reverse combustion principle. The flame of the combustion chamber moves from top to bottom, increasing the duration and productivity of combustion, and the air supply to the firebox is controlled by a metal damper.

Prometheus boilers are best suited for coal firing. Their body is made of heat-resistant steel, capable of withstanding heating up to 1800°.

One of the attractive features of such installations is their low cost, which is several times lower than their German counterparts.

Device Features

Solid fuel boilers have such functional systems as:

• temperature control;
• smoke removal;
• coolant turnover;
• firebox

The supplied fuel burns in the firebox. This causes its walls to heat up and transfer high temperature to the water circulating through the water jacket. There are pyrolysis and classic boilers. In classic ones, the fuel simply burns, releasing gas. In pyrolysis, fuel and released gas are burned in different systems. This increases power, efficiency and reduces chimney requirements.

However, pyrolysis equipment is demanding on the level of fuel moisture - no more than 20%. The owner of the boiler must have a supply of firewood at all times, which has been drying for at least a year.

The firebox has double walls. The coolant is poured between these walls. As a rule, water is used. Sometimes water is mixed with antifreeze. Such equipment is most common in central Russia.

After the coolant has heated up, it passes into the heat pipe. The water then passes through the pipes, heating the room, and returns to the boiler. To speed up the circulation of the carrier, special pumps are used. Smoke removal equipment looks like pipes with a heat insulator extending from the boiler to the street. In some models they are equipped with forced ventilation systems.

Water machines require careful attention to temperature. To avoid an accident, you need to make sure that the water does not boil. Fuel combustion can be stopped by reducing the intensity. To protect the system, cooling-type heat exchangers are used. Water is supplied to them directly from the water supply. In case of water supply interruption, you need to have a spare container of cold water. To shut off the flow of overheated water, a special shut-off valve is used.

TTC "Ochag"

Models of this equipment represent products. “Ochag” boilers are designed to heat rooms with a heated area of ​​up to 250 m2. The installations of this manufacturer assume the use of mixed types of fuel for operation.

For this reason, gas burners are included in the boilers. In addition, the company offers dual-circuit versions with a power of 6 - 32 kW. This feature allowed a fairly new company on the heating equipment market to quickly find its supporters among consumers.

TTC "Zota"

These Russian-made solid fuel boilers are manufactured in Krasnoyarsk. The “Dymok” and “Zota mix” models received the most positive ratings due to their efficiency and quality of workmanship.
