Providing a country house or giving hot water is one of the main activities related to the "life support" of a home of all sizes and sizes.
Its solution can be an indirect heating boiler.

self-connection Since the cost of industrial models often "hits" the purses of ordinary consumers, many of them prefer to collect an indirect heating boiler by themselves.
For its manufacture, you can use the used gas cylinder.
If you purchased a factory-made device, when assembling and installing it, follow the instructions supplied with this device.
In this connection, the indirect heating boiler connection includes the following steps:
- Installation of the device to its permanent location;
- Connection of pipes for supply and discharge of water;
- Installation of the heating element, connection of "return" and channel with recirculating hot water;
- Hot water connection with installation at the outlet of the hydraulic accumulator tubing;
- Connection of the temperature sensor to the circulation pump. Grounding of the installed device.
Very important point, relevant for those who plan to independently design and connect an indirect heating boiler - the connection scheme.

The following connection variants are distinguished:
- with three-way valve and servo;
- using two pumps;
- with a hydraulic arrow.
The first two options are used in houses with a two-circuit heating system, and the third one is intended for use in houses with a large water consumption.

This type of indirect heating tank piping scheme is shown below, it is rather complicated, therefore it is most rational to involve qualified and experienced plumbing for its implementation.
Installation of an indirect heating boiler includes several basic steps:
- Connecting a coil to a heating system;
- Installation of pipes for cold water supply;
- Installation of cranes or wiring to supply hot water to sources of consumption.
Design and principle of operation
In its essence, this heating device is a container enclosed in a protective housing of a storage type with a coil serving to move the coolant.
Between this body and the tank is placed a layer of thermal insulation, which allows to maintain the water temperature in the tank at the desired level.
The principle of the indirect heating boiler is to use a coolant from the boiler to heat the water that accumulates in the vessel.
Thus, with the operation of this device, it is possible to fully provide a residential house or apartment with hot water without using additional energy sources.
As a rule, the choice of the required volume of the device is carried out from personal preferences of consumers and the level of water consumption in a single house.
For houses with several bathrooms it is better to use an indirect heating boiler of 200 liters, although usually an average family of 4 people has enough capacity of 100-150 liters.

Since the devices of this type have a slight difference in their connection and operation, it is possible to choose the most suitable option for yourself, after understanding how the indirect heating boiler works.
Modern industry produces water heaters of various types, including horizontal and vertical, having a two-circuit and combined connection method.
The horizontal indirect heating boiler has a larger volume compared to its vertical analogue, which makes it possible to use water heaters of this type in places with high water consumption.
Two-circuit indirect heating boiler - universal and convenient, does not require the use of additional energy sources for heating water.
In addition to this type, it is also possible to see also indirect indirect heating boilers, the distinctive feature of which is the possibility of heating in various ways, using the energy of solid fuel boilers, electricity, etc.
Selection rules
To ensure rapid heating of service water,with an electric motor, among the advantages of which can be noted the ease of its installation and the ability to ensure uninterrupted hot water supplyI am with minimal heat loss.
The most economical one is a gas boiler of indirect heating, with a power of 4-6 kW, which allows it to bring water to the desired temperature faster than electrical analogs, but it requires a special design.
When connecting an indirect heating storage tank, it is very important, at the same time as installing it, to install a safety group including a special fitting located on a cold water main and consisting of a reducer, a safety valve and a non-return valve.

The most efficient way is to use an indirect heating boiler made of stainless steel. This material will better ensure the reliability and durability of this device.
Which manufacturer to choose?
In the construction market today you can find water heaters of domestic and foreign manufacturers, including Protherm, Gorenie, Baxi, etc.
Indirect heating boiler The heater has a reinforced inner layer of enamel that, together with a tank and stainless steel coil, serves as an additional protection against corrosion.
Can be used with boilers of different manufacturers.
ACV indirect heating boiler thanks to its design features, practicality and functionality is perfect for both residential and industrial buildings with high consumption.
By the way, it does not have a coil and has a double-skin plating.
No less convenient and qualitative is the Baki indirect heating boiler, which can function with different types of heating devices.
Among the popular varieties can also be attributed an indirect heating boiler drazice, as well as such a "running" option, as an indirect heating boiler nibe, featuring good thermal conductivity and economy.
A large variety of models and a wide range of different indirect heating boilers
Gorenie, a sample of true quality and reliability, capable of providing water to residential buildings of various sizes, as well as industrial premises, etc.

Before choosing an indirect heating boiler for a suitable model and brand, it is necessary to calculate the upcoming water consumption and the number of plumbing fixtures to be connected. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the capacity and volume of the boiler installed in the house.
Cost and purchase options for
You can buy an indirect heating boiler in specialized stores selling plumbing and heating systems.
Currently, the price of an indirect heating boiler is in the price range of 14 -165 thousand rubles, depending on the volume and technical complexity of this device.
You can buy a combined indirect heating boiler in the branded centers of the manufacturing companies, where a wide range of these products is presented by leading companies such as ACV, Bosch, Viessmann, Gorenje, etc., as well as on the websites of online stores offering heating andplumbing fixtures, as well as components for them at affordable and attractive prices.
