Do you want to equip your house with individual heating? Already installed and connected gas equipment? Well, then it remains to figure out how to turn on the gas boiler. You think it’s enough to insert the plug into the outlet and select the temperature? No matter how. Before this, it is necessary to bleed air and fill the system with water. You will find instructions with the sequence of actions in our article.
First boiler start: start
Initial start-up allows you to assess the condition of the heating system.
Important! In case of problems with self-activation, the service center may refuse a guarantee. Perhaps the best solution would be to contact a specialist.
In any case, a specialist must connect to the gas pipeline. Installation and strapping of equipment is carried out strictly according to the scheme. It is important to comply with the room requirements for the wall and floor boiler, the distance from the wall and floor. If all installation work has been completed successfully, proceed to the next step.
Filling the system with water
In order for the liquid to enter the system, you need to open the water valve. It is located at the bottom of the case. More precisely, you can look in the operating instructions for your model "Ariston", "Proterm", "Navien" (Navien).
Unscrew the valve gradually, water should not flow sharply, otherwise an air lock will occur. As a result, heating problems will begin. During filling, follow the pressure gauge. As soon as the values reach 2-2.5 Atm, close the tap.
Work with water should be carried out in the warm season, otherwise the liquid will form plugs. If the temperature is below freezing, warm the room to 20 degrees.
After installing and filling the double-circuit or single-circuit heating boiler, remove the remaining air in the pipes.
Bleeding System
Automatically starting equipment may have an air discharge function. But it’s more efficient to carry out the work yourself. If you want a stable temperature in the room, then eliminate the possibility of traffic jams in the pipeline. This is true for old and new models.
Start the process with radiators. Open the cranes of Majewski located on them.
Substitute containers, because water will drain with air. As soon as the whistling and hissing stops, you can close the taps.
Bleeding starts with a battery that is located above the rest.
Before starting the boiler, remove the air from the pump. Is it possible to do it yourself? It is better to carry out the first bleeding manually despite the automation. How to proceed:
- Remove the housing by unscrewing the screws;
- Connect the boiler “Wisman”, “Kiturami”, “Aton” or the one that you have at your disposal to the outlet;
- As soon as the device is started, the pump will turn on and you will hear a gurgle;
- Using a slotted screwdriver, unscrew the pump nut;
- As soon as water flows, tighten the nut back. Repeat the procedure until gurgling stops.
Track gauge readings. If the pressure drops, add fluid to the circuit.
An important point is setting up the batteries. Distant radiators turn on to the maximum, and the closest ones to the minimum. Once a comfortable indicator is achieved, proceed to the next step.
Circuit Crimping
During startup, this phase is often ignored by users. But in vain! The procedure allows you to immediately find out how reliable and tight the system is. Judge for yourself: if a leak occurs in the midst of the heating season and you are left without heat, the costs can be much larger. All you need is an injection pump at your fingertips.
Blow through the system with a powerful air stream. The interval between starts is 10 minutes. During this time, follow the manometer. Has the pressure started to drop? So there is a leak that needs to be found and eliminated.
Rinsing
To prevent further circulation of water, open all the taps on the radiators. Now supply liquid under pressure at 4 Bar, after substituting the containers. The stream will clean the pipes from rust and sediment. Then clean the filters from dirt.
How to turn on the gas boiler?
The system is prepared, proceed to start an independent boiler. Can I turn it on without gas? No, you must follow the sequence.
For mounted units "Bosch", "Vailant", "Beretta", "Ferroli" (Ferroli), Protherm, Celtic and other models:
- Plug in the appliance;
- Unscrew the gas valve;
- Press the "Start" button (depending on the model, there may be another key. See the instructions);
- Using the buttons on the control panel “+” or “-” set the desired temperature mode;
- A burner with electronic ignition will light up automatically when switching to hot water (DHW) or heating. For piezo ignition, hold the flame control for a few seconds, and then press the piezo button.
Important! During the initial start-up, air could accumulate inside the gas line, so the ignition may be blocked. To unlock, press the Restart key.
For parapet boilers of the "Aton" type, switching on is carried out similarly. If there is a remote control, then you can set the mode using the remote control.
How to properly turn on the Buderus (Buderus), Baxi (Baxi), Lemax, AOGV, Conord, Danko, Siberia, and others outdoor units:
- Ventilate the room;
- Make sure there is draft in the chimney;
- Open the appliance door;
- The control and temperature selector must be in the “off” position;
- Open the gas valve;
- Set the selector to the piezo ignition position;
- Press the selector for 5 seconds, simultaneously press the piezo button. The burner should light up;
- Use the same knob to adjust the temperature.
Is it possible to leave the boiler on during the absence? If you are leaving home for a long time, just set the rates to a minimum. Low temperatures and frost will freeze the entire system and other equipment. Metal pipes can burst under pressure, then you have to completely change the heating circuit.
Modern units are equipped with monitoring sensors. After turning off the gas, they block the operation of the device.
