Galan boilers - details you should know before purchasing

Features of Galan boilers

Main characteristics of Galan electrical equipment:

• high level of quality;
• compact dimensions;
• reliability.

Device

Elements of Galan heating equipment are:

• working chamber;
• electrodes;
• sealant and insulation of electrodes;
• power supply terminals.

Principle of operation

The operating principle of the Galan heating system does not differ from the traditional one. The water heated in the generator passes through the main piping. Entering the radiator, it gives off its heat as much as possible, due to this the air in the room heats up.

The housing acts as the first electrode, which must be grounded, and the other electrode, connected to the phase, is located inside the system and is isolated from the housing.

Specially prepared water having certain resistivity parameters can be used as a coolant, but it is best to use a special Argus-Galan liquid. This way the unit will last much longer.

Galan electric units can be used not only to heat a room, but also to provide hot water supply. Many Galan models (Geyser, Hearth, Vulcan, TEN Series) are supplemented with external storage boilers, due to which the water is heated by coolant from the main source.

Specifications

Galan equipment is constantly being modernized and improved as a result of changes in production technology. The electric boilers produced by the Galan company for heating premises correspond to their main purpose, have dimensions convenient for installation, and are made of materials that have high corrosion resistance, environmental friendliness and safety. You can buy a Galant boiler at a price that directly depends on the power and configuration of the product.

Technical characteristics of Galan electrode heating systems:

• voltage – 220/380 v, 50 Hz;
• heated room area in the range from 20 to 250 m2;
• power range of models from 2 to 25 kW;
• current range for models is from 9.2 to 37 A;
• recommended coolant is Argus-Galan liquid;
• water as a coolant – resistivity (3 kOhm/cm2—32 kOhm/cm2) at 150 degrees.

Advantages

Galan heating equipment has a number of advantages over heating element analogues.

The main advantages of Galan boilers:

1. They do not require additional installation costs, except for the purchase of a heat source. Installing the device is much cheaper than installing equipment that runs on liquid fuel. There is no need to build a chimney.
2. Does not require routine maintenance or cleaning.
3. Made from environmentally friendly and safe material.
4. They have a small weight and dimensions, as a result of which you can save space; the unit does not require a separate room.
5. Easy to install, you can install it yourself;
6. Fireproof.
7. operate from an electrical network of any voltage.
8. Wide range of power. You can choose a unit that can heat a room of about 20 square meters. m. or a whole house of 250 sq. m. m. When combining devices into a system, it is possible to heat a room measuring more than a thousand square meters.
9. The operation process is automated; the devices are equipped with a control unit.
10. Low noise level during operation.
11. Availability of protective systems.
12. Efficiency.
13. Possibility of programming operating modes.

Flaws

The disadvantages of heating units include:

1. Inability to use for floor heating, swimming pool heating, or greenhouse premises.
2. Installation of electrical equipment with a power of more than 10 kW requires approval from Energonadzor.
3. For normal operation, you will need an additional device for water circulation (pump), since in its absence the water may boil.
4. The high cost of consumed electricity, but this is rather a disadvantage of a different nature.
5. The need to monitor the condition of the electrodes, because they tend to be destroyed by water.
6. Ability to operate only on electricity.

Requirements for heating systems

When installing an electrode boiler, two factors should be taken into account:

1. At its output, there is a pulsation of the medium (minor pressure surges).
2. At a frequency of 50 Hz, the electrolysis of water—its decomposition into oxygen and hydrogen—is quite active.

The heating system is built open and based on two pipes - the upper distribution line and the lower collection pipe. Otherwise, the electrolysis gas will seal it tightly.

The pipe connecting the boiler and expansion tank must be metal, without zinc coating. Metal-plastic delaminates due to pressure changes, and zinc is “eaten up” as a result of electrochemical corrosion when oxygen is deposited on the surface.

When installing collapsible lines, installing radiators and fittings, special attention should be paid to ensuring that the joining materials have approximately the same electrochemical activity (for example, an aluminum metal-plastic pipe and the same heat exchanger) or are reliably isolated from each other. The use of cast iron radiators and galvanized pipes is excluded.

Electrical diagram for connecting the Galan electric boiler

A coolant that has low electrical resistance is used. It is better to use the proprietary Galan composition, which has antifreeze properties. This is due to the fact that the parameters of the boiler are strictly defined during its design, and the location of the phase electrode relative to the ground is designed for a certain electrical permeability of the medium.

At higher values, a short circuit does not occur, but at lower values, overheating and destruction of the electrode occurs. Therefore, it is impossible to fill heating systems with ordinary tap water or car antifreeze, this leads to incorrect operation of the device

. Most negative reviews about Galan boilers were written precisely for this reason.

Boilers using heating elements are less demanding. They work with heating systems of any type - one- or two-pipe, with natural or forced circulation of coolant. You can use regular tap water, but the manufacturer recommends branded water.

Review of model range and prices

The manufacturing company currently produces four main models of heating systems with devices of different power levels. When choosing Galan units, they are based on the volume of the building, and not on its area.

heating element

The design of heating elements (heating heating boilers) uses the latest imported materials certified according to European standards. Made from AISI 316L stainless steel. The design of heaters and blocks made it possible to reduce dimensions and weight by 2-3 times, and also improved maintainability and simplified maintenance. This allows you to reduce inertia, increase speed, and also improve efficiency.

Compared to serial predecessors, the latest boilers can operate without restrictions using single-phase (220 V) and three-phase (380 V) networks.

They have three power levels, which allows:

1. Load power supplies evenly.
2. Receive energy savings of 20% or more.
3. The terminal box is equipped with power wires connected to the heater terminals and a connected ground wire, which greatly simplifies the connection of the device to control equipment.

The boilers are equipped with automatic equipment that allows the consumer to set the desired temperature of the radiators, the air temperature in the room, and also automatically change it around the clock at will according to need, turning the equipment on and off using the “Comfort” room thermostat. It is also possible to control the boiler remotely using a GSM module.

Additional control functions

Galan units are controlled using Navigator electronic units or MRT-15 electromechanical devices. They allow you to automatically monitor the correct operation of the device, as well as configure it.

Electronic units of the Navigator are selected depending on the type of device, its power and requirements for the type of control:

1. “Lux 6” is used with a single-phase connection, with a boiler power of up to 6 kW.
2. “Basic” is suitable for units with a power of up to 30 kW.
3. “Basic+” is used to organize two power stages or control two boilers.
4. “Basic CT”, equipped with an additional current control unit - for electrode units.
5. “Basic T” is suitable for heating elements with the ability to control three power levels.
6. “Universal” is used in any situation and allows you to organize the management of any models and their combinations.
7. MRT-15 is used when the requirements for control accuracy and energy saving are minimal.

With the use of additional control modules, energy consumption is significantly reduced and adjusting the operation of the device becomes as convenient as possible. The “Comfort” air temperature regulator allows you to program the heating mode in the room by hour and even day of the week. The GSM module allows you to remotely control the boiler using SMS.

What advantages can you expect when choosing an electrode boiler?

• Firstly, the equipment described is the most affordable option for organizing heating. The cost of installation is several times lower than that of gas and solid fuel analogues, while the electronic boiler produces 98% efficiency. This allows you to save on energy consumption. And this is not the limit. You can increase savings by 60% by installing electronic thermostats or electromechanical automation on the device.
• Secondly, the electrode-type focus is a very compact device. A device with a power of 6 kW weighs only 1 kg 100 g.
• Thirdly, such equipment can be installed in existing heating systems. By doing this you will simply increase their power. This option is appropriate when it is necessary to heat large areas.
