Gas boiler Beretta: types and technical characteristics

Beretta gas boilers

Beretta is a brand owned by the large Italian company Riello SpA

Initially, it was a metalworking shop, which gradually switched to the production of gas boilers. Today, Beretta products are sold in many countries around the world and are among the leaders in quality, reliability and demand among customers.

Gas boilers are produced on the basis of advanced developments, taking into account many years of experience in the production of heating equipment . All units are maximally adapted to the technological operating conditions in the country where they will be sold.

For operation in Russia, the possibility of gas or water pressure drops is taken into account, and operation in conditions of severe frosts or power supply voltage drops is provided.

The company’s main goal is to create the most reliable boiler that is resistant to all external loads and does not fail due to changes in operating conditions . At the same time, the functionality and additional capabilities of the units are not limited and fully comply with European requirements for quality and safety.

Beretta wall-mounted boilers

Wall-mounted installations can be single-circuit (heating only) or double-circuit (heating + hot water preparation). In addition there may be:

  • with an open combustion chamber (indicated in the CSI specification)
  • closed (designation CAI).

There are a total of 9 lines of boilers in this category, each of which has several modifications. Here is a short list of features and options found on all models:

  • Simulated multi-position stainless steel burner.
  • Possibility of conversion to liquefied gas.
  • Change in gas combustion intensity depending on indoor and outdoor temperatures (if appropriate sensors are installed).
  • Circulation pump with deaerator (automatically removes air trapped in the system).
  • Hydraulic unit (flow sensor, blast valve, automatic bypass, drain/fill valve).
  • A control panel containing: boiler operating mode switch (winter/summer), status indication, pressure gauge and DHW temperature regulator.
  • Expansion tank of membrane type.
  • If necessary, you can connect outdoor air temperature controllers, a room thermostat (sets the desired room temperature, upon reaching which the boiler operation is turned off) or a programmer.
  • Electronic ignition.
  • Automatic testing of the system (boiler elements, presence of flame, gas, cold water pressure, pressure in the circuits, presence of sufficient draft, spark) and displaying test results on the display when faults are detected.
  • Hot water priority setting mode (the hot water temperature is controlled).
  • Frost protection (when the temperature in the system is below +5oC the boiler turns on, heating the system to 21oC).
  • Operating temperatures: in the heating circuit 40-80oC, in water heating - 37-60oC.

Two types of chimneys are compatible with Beretta gas boilers - conventional atmospheric (fireplace type) and coaxial.

Beretta CIAO (Chao)

These units have the lowest price among all Berettas and are installed only in closed-type heating systems. They use a coaxial bithermal heat exchanger.

In bithermic heat exchangers, water for heating and hot water supply is heated alternately in one coil. As long as the hot water tap is closed, the heating operates. If hot water starts flowing, the heating circuit is switched off and the water is heated for domestic use. The scheme, as we see, is not ideal, which is why such models are not very popular.

Hot water is heated using the flow method. There are CIAO NORD models adapted for regions with low winter temperatures (below -25oC). In them, the incoming air for the burner is preheated, which contributes to stable operation of the equipment.


Technical characteristics of Beretta Ciao boilers (click to enlarge)

The power of Beretta CIAO (Chao) boilers is 24 kW and 28 kW (there is a slight difference in modifications with an open and closed combustion chamber).

Beretta City

"Beretta City" is a double-circuit heating boiler with instantaneous heating of hot water. Very similar to the previous model, but they have two separate heat exchangers - one for heating, the second for heating water. It is also available with an open and closed combustion chamber and has two powers: 24 kW, 28 kW.

Boiler power - 28 kW.

Kinds

Beretta produces all types of modern gas boilers, which can be divided into groups according to appropriate characteristics.

According to the installation method, we offer:

  • Floor-standing boilers. They are installed directly on the floor or on a special platform, have greater weight and increased dimensions due to more durable and massive parts designed for high power and performance.
  • Wall-mounted models designed for hanging installation on load-bearing walls or on special supporting structures (ramps). They have compact dimensions, the power of the units is limited to 35 kW.

By functionality:

  • Single-circuit, designed only to power the heating system.
  • Double-circuit, capable of simultaneously heating the coolant and preparing hot water for household needs.

By heat transfer method:

  • Convection. Heating of liquids occurs according to the usual method - in the flame of a gas burner.
  • Condensation. These units have a two-stage heating cycle - first, primary heating occurs due to thermal energy obtained from the condensation of water vapor from the exhaust smoke, and then a second stage of heating occurs in the burner flame.

IMPORTANT!

It must be taken into account that the operation of condensing boilers is possible only when the difference in temperature outside and inside the premises is no more than 20°, which excludes the possibility of use in most regions of Russia. You need to know this when choosing a boiler, since the difference in prices between condensing and convection boilers is quite significant.

By type of combustion chamber:

  • Open (atmospheric). Smoke removal occurs naturally, using a chimney draft (stove type). The air required for combustion is taken directly from the room in which the boiler is installed.
  • Closed (turbocharged). The air intake occurs from the outside, the burner is completely isolated from the internal atmosphere of the living space. The smoke is removed by the turbocharger fan.

Turbocharged models are more stable and reliable in operation, practically independent of external conditions, which cannot be said for boilers with an open combustion chamber.

Review of popular models of Beretta gas boilers

The range of gas heaters of the Beretta brand is quite extensive: the user will find 9 lines in the catalog, each of which contains several models.

Wall mounted

The following models of this type are in greatest demand among our consumers:

Beretta CIAO (pronounced “ciao”)

This is the cheapest member of the Beretta family.

This gas boiler is double-circuit, but it does not have two heat exchangers, but only one - combined (they are called bithermic). It is made in the form of a coaxial pipe and can also work only for one thing - either the heating system or the hot water supply.

This option is cheaper than two separate heat exchangers, but produces less hot water and is also more susceptible to scale deposits (not recommended for use with hard water).

boiler connection
Beretta CIAO 24 CSI

For regions with cold climates (with frosts worse than -25C), a modification of CIAO Nord is available, which provides for preheating of the air entering the burner - thanks to this, the device operates more stably.

The power of the modification with a closed chamber is 28 kW, with an open chamber - 24 kW.

Beretta City

Almost completely repeats the “CIAO” model, only each circuit has its own heat exchanger.

Beretta Minute DGT

Double-circuit model with separate heat exchangers. A circulation pump of the famous Grundfos brand with 3 speeds and an automatic air vent was used. Unlike the first two models, this one has a display.

Beretta Boiler

boiler in the kitchen
Has a built-in stainless steel boiler with a capacity of 60 liters.

An additional 2 liter expansion tank is installed for it (the heating tank has a volume of 8 liters).

Thus, water does not flow out when heated, as is the case with a conventional household water heater.

The boiler is equipped with a drain valve and a safety valve for 8 atm.

Adjustment of the water temperature in the boiler is not provided in the basic version (+43C is stably maintained), but by contacting the service center, this function can be disabled.

Power - 28 kW.

Floor-standing

To complete the picture, we will describe three floor models:

Novella Avtonom 55RAG

Non-volatile boiler with a capacity of 57.9 kW. Can work without a pump. A single stage burner is used. The main burner lights up from the igniter, which burns constantly. The igniter, in turn, is ignited using a piezoelectric element, which the user activates by pressing a special button when turning on the boiler.

There is a traction sensor.

The units in this line have very solid performance: from 87.4 kW to 289.9 kW. All are equipped with cast iron heat exchangers; in high-power installations (from 174 and above) there are two heat exchangers. They are united by a common lining and have a common exit to the chimney.


Characteristics of Beretta Novella Rai Maxima (click to enlarge)

This equipment has a two-stage stainless steel burner (each has its own if there are two heat exchangers). The temperature of the circuits is regulated independently of each other; there are two switches. When installing external thermostats, you can switch to automatic temperature maintenance mode.

Device

The Beretta gas boiler has two main components that work in close conjunction - a gas burner and a heat exchanger.

Entering the boiler, the coolant passes into the heat exchanger, where it is heated to a certain temperature . Then it leaves the primary and immediately enters the secondary heat exchanger, where it transfers a small part of the thermal energy to prepare hot water.

After this, it enters the three-way valve, acquires the temperature set by the operating mode and is discharged into the heating system.

The movement of liquid occurs under the action of a circulation pump . Smoke and combustion products are removed using a turbocharging fan.

The operation of all devices (in volatile models) is monitored by an automatic control board connected to a system of self-diagnosis sensors.

They detect problems and immediately notify the user about them using a special code message on the display.

Beretta COMPACT

The Beretta KOMPAKT boiler is a single-circuit unit equipped with a closed combustion chamber, the only function of which is heating residential and non-residential premises. Its rated power is 14 kW, which means that it is ideal for small country houses and apartments.

This equipment is distinguished by its small dimensions, ease of maintenance, sophisticated design and reasonable price by market standards. This gas boiler is in deserved demand all over the world. Its undoubted advantage is the possibility of aggregation with a boiler for heating water.

What's special about this model? Let's consider the main ones, including:

  • Ionization flame control;
  • Temperature sensor;
  • Circulation pump 3-speed type;
  • Possibility of operation on liquefied gas;
  • Smooth power adjustment.

Speaking about Beretta boilers of the KOMPAKT series, it is worth noting their excellent safety. The design provides a lot of systems that are necessary for the most stable operation of the unit. Among them:

  • Control of the presence of flame, which is carried out by the ignition electrode. The boiler switches off immediately if the system detects a lack of flame. Engineers took care of user safety.
  • Control of the maximum temperature of the coolant using a thermostat. The device turns off if the water temperature in the system reaches the maximum permissible level.
  • Control of the minimum water pressure in the system using a built-in hydraulic pressure switch. If the pressure drops to a level below 0.45 Bar, the equipment immediately turns off.
  • Control of the maximum coolant pressure in the system using a safety valve, which turns off the system if the indicator rises to 3 Bar.
  • Control of coolant circulation in the system.
  • Monitoring the health of temperature sensors.
  • Pump blockage control.
  • Coolant freeze protection system.

conclusions

It is obvious that any Beretta unit is a gas boiler of excellent quality, high performance and safety. When purchasing equipment from this brand, you can rest assured that it will serve you for decades without any problems. The company invests serious money in the technical improvement of its manufactured devices. That's why when you pay for a Beretta, you're choosing state-of-the-art heating and hot water engineering.

Operating and setting instructions

Operation of Beretta gas boilers occurs in automatic mode, which does not require any special actions from the owner.

The only procedures he must periodically perform are:

  • Filling or draining water from the heating circuit when switching the boiler to winter/summer mode.
  • Cleaning the housing from dust and dirt.
  • Every year you need to invite a technician from the service center to perform technical inspection and maintenance of the boiler.

Temperature adjustment is carried out in operating mode, performed from the control panel and is not difficult at all.

Download instructions

Download instructions for Beretta gas boilers.

Primary setup is an adjustment to the factory settings and is performed by a specialist who installs and first starts the system.

All these actions are designed to limit the pressure range of gases and liquids, improving the operation of the boiler and increasing its service life.

IMPORTANT!

Self-repair or other intervention in the boiler design automatically terminates the warranty agreement, so in case of any problems you should contact a specialist.

Classification of the model range

The company currently produces four main wall-mounted models, which differ from each other in the number of circuits and the type of combustion chamber. Let's look at these models, but before that I would like to point out the markings of devices in which the contours and types of firebox are determined by letter indicators:

  1. Letters that determine the number of circuits: “R” is a single-circuit device, “C” is a double-circuit device.
  2. By type of firebox: “A” is a device with an open combustion chamber, “S” is a device with a closed combustion chamber.

Model "CITY"

Gas boilers "Beretta City" are today's best sellers. In fact, this is a very successful design of gas boilers of this brand, where there are double-circuit and single-circuit models. There are several models in the City line that differ from each other in power characteristics and savings in natural gas combustion.

  • Capacity (kW): 24, 28, 35 and 50.
  • The RAI and RSI models are single-loop.
  • The CSI model is dual-circuit.
  • The RSI model has the ability to connect a separate boiler.
  • RSI and CSI have a special hole through which air can be drawn in to improve burner performance and efficient gas combustion.
  • The 50 kW RSI is a condensing boiler.
  • All models include a circulation pump, a process control and regulation system with a liquid crystal screen on the boiler panel.

For comparison, we will give a table in which all the technical characteristics of the three models will be considered.

Boiler structure

Model "Exclusive"

It’s not for nothing that the manufacturer gave this name to the boiler. The company's engineers tried to make the design of the device so that it would be as convenient and comfortable as possible during its operation. There are several modes offered here:

  • Winter.
  • Comfort winter.
  • Summer.
  • Comfort summer.

Why use this gas boiler in summer? In this case, only the function of heating water for household needs is used. That is, there is no need to install another heating device in the summer.

Let us add that Beretta gas double-circuit boilers of this series have pleasant additions that help bring their operating efficiency to maximum levels. Eg:

  • They have a fan installed, with which you can adjust the draft of the heating device in accordance with the current power of the boiler. That is, when the gas supply to the burner increases, the fan automatically increases the speed of the blades, thereby increasing the degree of extraction of combustion products through the chimney.
  • This model is compatible with an electronic control device that monitors the outside air temperature.
  • A block for automatic replenishment of the burner with gas is installed.

There are several models in this series, with both single-circuit and double-circuit units. The power of the device varies from 24 kW to 35 kW. At the same time, the efficiency is 90-93%. The gas boiler is equipped with a circulation pump and an 8-liter expansion tank on all models. The maximum coolant temperature is +80C.

Model "CIAO"

This is the most popular gas boiler from. It belongs to the “low-power” category, which is why it is so popular among city residents and owners of small cottages and dachas. The manufacturer's engineers tried to bring all the positive qualities and designs of all other models into this small heating device. Hence its high functional features.

CIAO model

I would especially like to note four serious positions:

  1. This is a coaxial type heat exchanger, where the coolant is heated through a double circuit. This allows not only to heat it efficiently, but also to reduce the consumption of natural gas.
  2. A very convenient control unit with a liquid crystal screen on the panel.
  3. A diagnostic system has been installed that allows you to show faults in the Beretta gas boiler, which prevents the occurrence of complex repair situations. Using the system, you can monitor and immediately respond to any breakdown or malfunction.
  4. The model range of this series includes the CIAO Nord device. This is a unique unit that works great even at the lowest and extreme air temperatures outside the window.

Price range

The cost of Beretta boilers is in the range of 37-495 thousand rubles, depending on the installation method, set of functions and unit power.

The basic configuration of boilers does not include a chimney and other additional devices, so it is necessary to determine their cost in advance and purchase all related devices that ensure the safety and durability of gas boilers.

NOTE!

The cost of servicing the units is quite high, so saving on concluding a warranty agreement is not recommended.
