The dynamic development of building technologies allows many of our citizens to acquire their own home outside the city. Owning a small cottage or summer cottage is becoming the norm. Living away from a noisy metropolis, enjoying clean air and peace is what attracts people.
In a country house, dacha or cottage, as a rule, there is no central heating and hot water supply. This makes it impossible for a permanent comfortable stay in such a house in the winter. Without proper heating in cold weather, an autonomous heating system will be the solution.
Independent heating system
Autonomous heating does not depend on heating networks. And this is perhaps the main advantage. You can regulate the temperature in the room yourself, and if necessary, turn off the heating altogether. On average, in 5 years, autonomous heating equipment pays off in full.
Comfort, efficiency and reliability of home heating depend on the choice of the boiler. If your home is located in a gasified area, then it makes sense to purchase a gas boiler.
Types of boilers
A flow-through gas heater is designed to provide hot water in the house. It was installed earlier in an apartment building. Now the models have been improved and equipped with a gas control and ignition system.
A single-circuit gas boiler is used to heat a small area of housing. It is simple, powerful, but its operation has its own characteristics:
- required connection to the chimney;
- using indoor air for combustion (open combustion chamber);
- need for additional room ventilation.
A boiler with an open combustion chamber requires extra care and strict adherence to fire and sanitary requirements. Among single-circuit boilers there are boilers with a closed combustion chamber, but they are more expensive.
A double-circuit gas boiler can not only heat a room, but also heat water. One circuit works for heating water, and the second for heating.
Wall-mounted gas boilers "Baksi"
The construction and design of Italian gas boilers meet the needs of modern heating. The gas boiler "Baksi Luna" can be placed on any free space on the wall. He does not need a special room for accommodation - everything he needs for work is already provided for by the internal design.
All Baksi wall-mounted gas boilers undergo mandatory certification for compliance with operational safety requirements. Consumer reviews most often confirm simplicityboiler control and safety.
The units are equipped with a special control system that is capable of diagnosing the operation of the system itself and taking into account weather conditions. If there is a drop in gas pressure at the main inlet, this will not affect the operation of the gas boiler.

Wall-mounted boilers with one circuit
Single-circuit gas heating boilers are designed for home heating. They decided to make the wall-mounted "Baksi" more functional and installed special outlets for installing an additional boiler. It is possible to heat water for household needs in it.
Single-circuit boilers are quite simple. The burner, which ignites the gas, was placed inside a safe thermal envelope. The heat that accumulates in the combustion chamber is transferred to the heating circuit through a heat exchanger.
The material for the manufacture of the heat exchanger is copper, cast iron or steel. This type of boiler is designed for low power - from 14 to 31 kW. Wall-mounted Baxi are small in size, made with a cameraclosed or open type.
Double-circuit wall-mounted gas boilers
The design of the boiler provides for a heat exchanger that is connected to the heating system. Water heating occurs once in a closed cycle. Further, the heat exchanger only needs to maintain the required temperature.
The heat exchanger, which is connected to the water heating system, is secondary, and a new portion of cold water periodically enters it, so it has to work constantly for heating.
Types of heat exchangers on "Baksi" boilers:
- Plate. Copper plates are soldered onto a long curved steel tube. To protect the structure from high temperatures, a special protective layer was applied to it.
- Biometric. Another pipe of smaller diameter is inserted inside the pipe. Water for heating flows in the outside, water for household needs flows through the inside.

- Self-diagnosis with memory of recent faults and malfunctions.
- LCD display, reflects all the necessary operating parameters.
- Onheat exchanger coated with anti-corrosion coating.
Wall-mounted double-circuit turbocharged boilers
The use of such boilers provides significant savings in blue fuel. A turbocharger is built into the system, and this allows you to get the required amount of heat with lower gas consumption. The boiler is additionally equipped with a fan that pumps air from the street.
Cold air enters through a pipe built into another, larger diameter, which works to remove combustion products. The design is completely sealed and prevents the ingress of harmful toxins and fumes into the room.
Condensing Wall Boilers
The principle of their work is based on the laws of physics. Usually, gas is burned in the boiler chamber, and the combustion products are discharged to the outside. In condensation, a slightly different procedure.
When carbon is burned, carbon dioxide and water vapor are formed. The installed heat exchanger cools the steam, and uses the released energy to heat the circuits. Its efficiency significantly exceeds that of simple gas boilers.
Advantages of wall-mounted boilers according to consumer reviews
