Overview of boilers with dry heating elements
To provide the house with hot water, many summer residents use a water heater, most often a boiler. There is a wide range of water heating equipment, among which a boiler with a dry heating element is more in demand.
Domestic water heaters of this kind are rightfully considered the market leaders. They are in great demand because they are not expensive, easy to use, safe, and also have a stylish, aesthetic appearance. The boilers work on electricity, they quickly cope with their functions, despite the fact that they must heat large volumes of water. On average, an electric boiler with a dry heating element heats water in 1.5 - 2 hours (depending on the volume).
Electric heating element is a safe type of heating, although it has direct contact with water. A feature of the installation of such a water heating system is the ground loop, which is connected to the power supply socket of the heating element. This prevents a person from being shocked in case of damage to the heating element.
Boilers and hot water heaters
Depending on human needs and purposes of application, water heaters and boilers with dry heating elements are divided into two types:
- Flowing;
- Accumulative.
Storage-type boilers operate on the principle of filling a container with water with its further heating. During water consumption, the boiler automatically feeds from the water supply system of the house until it is full. This process takes place continuously while the boiler is on. Therefore, a person has the opportunity to use hot water around the clock.
The volume of a standard storage boiler tank varies from 30 to 100 liters. (there are more). Most modern boilers are equipped with dry heating elements. For a family of three, an 80 liter boiler is enough. The most famous and widespread models are Electrolux, Siеbel Eltron, Ariston and Gorenje.
The difference between a water heater and a boiler is that it does not have a storage tank, but heats the water directly at the moment it passes through it. Accordingly, such a mini-boiler has a more powerful heating element. When buying a boiler with a dry heating element, pay attention to its power (4.5-18 kW) and the possibility of installation. It is necessary to determine whether the home wiring will withstand the power load of the water heater, and whether it will be convenient to use it. Some of the most reliable water heaters are Vaillant, Timberk, Atmor.
