Single-circuit boilers are very often used for heating private houses. In the event that a boiler is connected to such a boiler, in addition to the heating function, it can perform the function of heating and supplying hot water.
Such a structural element as a boiler safety group is simply necessary to ensure proper control of the heating system. The group is designed to protect the boiler from airing and overpressure. This system includes the following elements:
- air vent with check valve;
- pressure gauge;
- safety valve.
Also, the boiler safety group can be additionally equipped with various useful accessories. Such, for example, as:
- flow limiters, stopcocks, etc.;
- thermometers measure the temperature in the street and in the room;
- various items needed to connect the boiler to the boiler, etc.
The main and additional elements that the boiler safety group may include,provide coolant discharge in the event of a critical increase in pressure, remove gases from the system and perform many other important functions.
The importance of this system in the design of the boiler can hardly be overestimated. The safety of both the state of the boiler itself and its owner depends on it. Therefore, it should be characterized by maximum reliability and ease of use. It is better to choose a product of proven brands. For example, the German security group Watts fully meets all these requirements. It includes all the basic necessary elements and is most often mounted in a vertical position. The installation of the safety group, due to the special importance of this system in the design of the boiler, is best left to specialists.
When installing, take into account the fact that there should not be any valves or taps between the supply pipe and the group. In the event that the valve is closed, there is a high probability of equipment failure due to an increase in pressure in the pipe. In addition, the use of shut-off valves in this place is not allowed.
If a water heater is connected to the boiler, its design is equipped with a system such as a boiler safety group. It usually includes the following structural elements:
- safety valve;
- shut-off valve, which provides the ability to manually shut off the water supply to the boiler;
- check valve.
Building or buying a house for yourself and your family, the main thing that any modern person usually thinks about is hissafety and reliability. Therefore, take seriously the choice of such important equipment as the boiler and boiler safety group. Domestic heating boilers are quite dangerous devices that require proper operation with the maximum observance of all safety measures. In no case should it be allowed to replace the elements of these systems with those that imitate them or to exclude any sensors from the general circuit of the boiler. Use the device correctly, and it will serve you faithfully for many years.
