Technical characteristics of the Gorenje FTGSMV6 water heater
The water heater from the FTGSMV6 model range from the Gorenje company with a volume of 60 liters is an enamelled boiler. The advantage of this range is its compactness. The depth and height of the water heaters remain the same for all models, only the width changes. The volume of boilers varies from five to two hundred liters. This solution is more common in horizontal boilers, since the heating elements for such models are located on the side wall of the case.
Gorenje storage water heater FTGSMV6 - vertical, with increasing volume, the number of internal tanks increases. The 60 l boiler is equipped with two vertical tanks with a volume of 30 l each.
An important advantage of the FTGSMV6 range is the presence of a magnesium anode in each internal tank, which removes scale and salts from water. Due to cathodic-anode reactions, the chemical composition of water changes, and its hardness decreases. Over time, the magnesium anode will dissolve and will need to be replaced.
The body of the water heater is covered with enamel, which does not enter into chemical reactions with salts and metals that may be contained in tap water. Also the manufacturer produces water heaters with a volume of less than 60 liters made of stainless steel. Their cost is lower than that of enameled boilers. But stainless steel water heaters are more often oxidized at the places of welds, since as a result of welding, the alloy loses its protective properties.
In addition, there are several types of stainless steel. They all differ in characteristics, and therefore inertness to chemical reactions is achieved only when certain conditions are met. For example, if the acceptable level of humidity in a room is exceeded, low-quality stainless steel will oxidize. If the body of the water heater is made of high quality stainless steel, then this leads to an increase in the cost of the boiler. A water heater made of high-quality stainless steel costs at least 30 thousand rubles. Therefore, the advantages of enamelled water heaters over stainless steel boilers are obvious.
Device and equipment of the water heater
The Gorenje FTG60SMV6 water heater is equipped with two heating tanks. The heating element with a magnesium anode is made of copper and is located on the bottom panel, which makes it easy to remove the heating element from the boiler. The water heater is equipped with a dashboard that allows you to adjust the water heating temperature.
Operating in EcoSmart mode, the boiler will record your actions during the week, “remember” what time you take a shower and heat the water in advance.
