Advantages of Kiturami gas boilers: design, technical characteristics, reviews and operating instructions

The active rise in prices for diesel fuel does not reduce the popularity of liquid fuel appliances among consumers. However, buyers' attention is gradually shifting to more economical models. The Kiturami diesel boiler ranks first in terms of fuel efficiency. Models from the Korean manufacturer also impress with their high technology.

Features of Kiturami diesel boilers

A distinctive feature of Kiturami devices is electronic control. The boiler has a remote control, with which the user can conveniently interact with the device from a distance.

Device

The design of the Kiturami boiler is a combination of external and internal elements.

External parts:

• frame;
• Control block;
• pipes for connecting hot water supply and heating systems;
• chimney hole.

The control unit is responsible for the operation of the boiler. It helps you select parameters and modes. If necessary, the device starts protective functions and self-diagnosis.

Internal elements:

• DHW heat exchanger;
• turbocyclone liquid fuel burner;
• sensors;
• the combustion chamber;
• heat exchange device of the heating system.

Principle of operation

The boiler operates on diesel fuel as follows. The pump pumps the required amount of diesel fuel from the tank into the burner device. The fuel is heated and supplied to the combustion chamber through the nozzle simultaneously with air. The electrodes ignite the mixture, forming a stable torch in the firebox.

Combustion products move through heat exchange channels, heating the water. Exhaust gases are released under pressure into the chimney using a turbulator. The noise level is reduced thanks to the use of special inserts in the smoke channel.

Installation nuances and requirements

The installation of a Kiturami diesel appliance must be carried out by qualified specialists with special permission. The equipment is located in a separate non-residential premises. The boiler room must be well ventilated.

Burner settings and efficiency

The Kiturami diesel burner is adjusted before putting the device into operation or when performing maintenance. The adjustment is made by moving the air damper screw until the flame reaches the desired shade.

The efficiency of the burner is determined by the color of the flame:

• black and red - it is necessary to increase the air supply;
• bright white - signals the need to close the damper;
• yellow-red - is optimal, in this case the burner operation is considered effective.

The flame should be even. If the torch deviates to the side, it indicates the need to replace the nozzle.

Boiler piping

Connecting the Kiturami boiler to utility networks must be carried out in accordance with the instructions.

The harness includes connection to:

• heating system;
• DHW circuit;
• chimney and pipe;
• electrical networks;
• fuel line.

When connecting to heating and water supply pipes, shut-off valves and filters are installed. To compensate for the expansion of the coolant, special tanks are used. In systems with forced circulation, pumps are installed.

For the operation of Kiturami diesel heat generators, it is necessary to connect to a 220 V network. The device is provided with a separate socket located at a distance of at least 30 cm. If there are voltage drops, it is recommended to install a network stabilizer. Grounding is carried out to a depth of at least 30 cm.

To remove flue gases, a special set of forced exhaust pipes is used. The horizontal section of the chimney is placed at an angle of 5 degrees to prevent precipitation and condensation from getting inside.

The device is connected via a fuel line to a container with diesel fuel. Using a pump, fuel is pumped into the system, passing through the fuel filter, and supplied to the burner.

Operating rules

The user controls the Kiturami boiler via a thermostat. Settings are made using knobs and buttons. Information about the current state of the unit is displayed by indicators on the display and lights.

• When dirty, drain the sediment from the fuel tank and change the filter.

Connection diagram for a diesel boiler with a second circuit

The connection diagram for a diesel boiler with a second circuit for the production of hot tap water is simple. Each double-circuit boiler has, in addition to boiler water inlet and outlet pipes, tap water inlet and outlet pipes. They are marked, so that when installing the boiler you will not confuse what to connect where.

The supply pipe of cold water from the water supply is connected to the inlet pipe, and the outlet is connected to the outlet pipe, through which hot water will flow into the hot water supply system of the house.

In this case, no safety devices or safety systems are required for the tap water main. Since a double-circuit diesel boiler acts as an instantaneous water heater, to quickly obtain hot water you do not even need to install a circulation pump on the DHW system.

You will receive hot water at the distribution points almost instantly. The amount of hot water produced will depend on the boiler power you choose.

Possible malfunctions and their solutions

Let's look at the typical problems of Kiturami boilers and how to eliminate them.

Error 01

Code 01 means “no ignition”: ignition fails.
