Diesel boiler "Kiturami": specifications and reviews


Kiturami boilers of the Korean company have many advantages, which allows them to be used for arranging various types of heating. These types of devices are quite practical and popular among users as they are very reliable.

You can organize diesel heating of a country house yourself, but the best option would be to entrust the implementation of such work to specialists who know their business. Before buying these types of boilers, you must first study all the technical characteristics and select it for certain conditions.

Features of Kiturami boilers

Kiturami is a South Korean company with more than half a century of experience in the design and manufacture of heating boilers and related equipment.

During this time, the company has become one of the leaders in the domestic Korean market, and also found an extensive sales market in North America and the neighboring countries of Asia. In our country, Kiturami boilers have been officially distributed for at least ten years and have already managed to show themselves on the good side.

The main emphasis in the promotion of boilers is made on the introduction of innovative technologies and, in particular, their own developments, which have no analogues in other manufacturers or determine the narrow specifics of the equipment operation.

Diesel boilers, by definition, are not considered as a basic model range for a wide range of applications. In terms of economic feasibility, they are inferior to gas, electric and even solid-state boilers. However, they are still in demand among consumers in view of a number of reasons why liquid fuels are becoming preferable.

In remote areas of residence, where there is no stable connection to power grids, no gasification, the issue of fuel availability is acute. At the same time, the heating of the house must, by definition, work without interruption throughout the season. If for many countries such situations are rather an exception to the rule, then for us, on the contrary, it is commonplace, the cause of which is the vast expanses separating settlements.

Diesel fuel, unlike gas, is easier to transport and easier to store with minimal risks to life and the environment. Unlike solid fuel boilers, diesel fuel during combustion gives uniform heating and a greater degree of control over the waste of resources. And finally, the design of the diesel boiler and, in particular, the burner does not restrict the use of other heat sources.

With minimal changes, the diesel burner can be replaced for the use of blue fuel, and boilers equipped with an extensive combustion chamber and grate, can quickly switch to using coal, wood or pellets.

Diesel boilers Kiturami are highly technological and perfectly balanced equipment for using diesel fuel as a heat source, and at the same time, they are excellent for the listed types of conversions to work with gas or solid fuel. Thus, constructive and functional flexibility is the first significant advantage.

Kiturami boilers often use their own designs and unique layout. On the one hand, this reduces the maintainability of heating equipment, but on the other hand, it provides the highest boiler efficiency and balanced operation, while observing simple and transparent operating rules. This is the second good reason to turn your attention to diesel boilers from South Korea.

The final advantage is the cost of boiler equipment.Even taking into account the high performance and proven quality of the boilers, their cost does not exceed the market average among similar offers.

So it turns out that Kiturami boilers have three features: a balanced design, high efficiency and an affordable price.

Diesel boilers of the Kiturami company have excellent characteristics, which, in turn, allowed them to establish themselves on the market on a good side. But, nevertheless, it is recommended to follow the rules for using this device, since, no matter how reliable it is, if it is used improperly, the boiler may fail and major repairs will be required. If you decide to independently install the boiler in your own home, you must adhere to all the rules for installation work. But, nevertheless, it is better to turn to highly specialized specialists for help. This will help to avoid boiler repair work immediately after the installation of the unit. Indeed, as a rule, it is the wrong installation that often causes the boiler to break down.

Since a fuel tank is included in the kit for a diesel heating boiler, it is also necessary to observe a number of rules when operating it:

  • First of all, remember that only clean fuel can be poured into the tank.
  • Secondly, the tank should be cleaned of contamination in time.
  • And, thirdly, when buying a boiler, pay attention to whether there is a pipe for draining sediments in the tank and whether there is a fixed package.

Important! Before the first start, you need to fill in the fuel and wait about 30 minutes for it to settle. After that, the boiler should be set up. In case of frequent power surges, it is necessary to purchase and install a voltage stabilizer, it will help keep the boiler control unit and its sensors in working order.

However, it is not enough to work without interruption just to correctly install and adhere to all the rules for operating the equipment. The device requires timely prevention, which include: mechanical cleaning and checking the working condition of the elements and the presence / absence of leaks. You can independently carry out some of the listed works, including connecting the boiler. But the main part of them is desirable to be dealt with by specialists.

Do not forget that the kitura diesel boiler requires timely maintenance. This will make it possible to avoid small breakdowns and prevent larger equipment failures.

Specifications

The operational characteristics, dimensions and parameters of the Turbo series boilers are presented in the table below. It is clearly seen that the series of floor-standing diesel boilers covers a power range from 10 to 35 kW, which is quite enough for heating houses up to 250-275 square meters. Part of the heat will be spent on preparing hot water, which must be taken into account in the calculations.

All Kuturami boilers are double-circuit and heat exchangers, by the way, are ideally designed specifically for these tasks.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption is indicated in the table with technical requirements. However, remember that the actual flow rate depends on the individual settings. For the actual power required to heat the house, an appropriate nozzle is selected from the set proposed by the manufacturer.

The thermal power, fuel consumption and fuel combustion mode are set. The parameter indicated in the table displays factory presets sufficient to ensure proper performance, provided only high-quality fuel is used, more often it means diesel fuel already with winter additives that do not allow it to thicken or stand out paraffin in excess of the norm.

In a real situation, for a boiler model with a capacity of up to 15 kW, you can expect fuel consumption at the level of 8 liters per day taking into account the frequency of operation of the burner and the optimal temperature regime in the house. However, this is not the limit.

The correct approach to the choice of the heating mode, as well as the installation of a controller with a variable temperature regime, for example, depending on the time of day and day of the week, can reduce the consumption even more.

Chimney

Kuturami boilers, gas, diesel, floor-standing or wall-mounted, are for the most part equipped with a closed combustion chamber and, accordingly, a forced exhaust system. The Turbo series, which we are currently considering, is no exception.

Chimney installation diagram

The chimney for boilers is used coaxial for the simultaneous supply of fresh air from the street and the removal of exhaust gases. Since the exhaust temperature after passing through the heat exchangers is no longer high, the requirements for the heat resistance of the chimney are reduced, and the list of acceptable materials is expanded.

In the best case, a steel coaxial chimney is still used, however, a ceramic vertical chimney with a group of internal separate channels for supplying air, removing gases from the combustion chamber and ventilation of the boiler room can be effectively used in the same capacity.

The chimney size is strictly specified in the boiler specification and operating instructions. For the entire Turbo series, this is 80 mm.

It is possible, if desired, to make a chimney with a slightly larger diameter, but not more than 50% above the specified value, that is, up to 120 mm.

In no case should you reduce the size and section. Even though the removal of combustion products is forced, the resistance of the chimney will greatly affect the combustion mode and the quality of fuel combustion.

turbo 13r

The model number of the boiler corresponds to the amount of heat generated per hour - 13000 kcal / hour. In terms of the usual kilowatts, the value is 15.1 kW.

The declared capacity is sufficient to heat a house with an area of ​​up to 150 m2. Naturally, one should take into account the heat consumption for the preparation of hot water supply. If a significant consumption of hot water is predicted, moreover, regularly, then the heat output for the heating circuit will naturally be lower.

Reliability and balanced operation, combined with the affordable cost of the boiler, gives a clear advantage in the case of using several boilers at the same time in one building, for example, when dividing the heating circuit for each floor separately or when covering a large area in two more wings, directions.

The thermal power already reaches 19.8 kW, which is enough to cover the heating of a house with an area of ​​up to 180 m2. It is possible to reasonably increase the upper performance threshold by selecting the appropriate nozzle on the burner, however, this will affect fuel consumption.

This approach allows you to solve the problem of increased DHW consumption so that you do not restrain yourself in using hot water without unnecessary costs even in the most severe frosts.

Connection to heating systems, water supply and fuel lines

1

- when connected to a heating system, it is necessary to install shut-off valves, filters and additional expansion tanks, which will compensate for the expansion of the coolant.

2

- when connected to a hot water supply system, it is also necessary to install shut-off valves, filters and expansion tanks.When using low-quality water, it is recommended to install a water treatment system, which will increase the service life of the boiler and ensure the reliable operation of the mixing devices.

3

- when connecting to a pipeline, in addition to installing filters and shut-off valves, it is recommended to install pressure reducers designed to protect the boiler from excessive pressure in the main pipeline. It is recommended to install pressure boosting stations in case of low pressure in the main pipeline.

4

- when connecting to a fuel line, it is necessary to install additional filters and shut-off valves.

turbo 30 r

The most powerful model in the Kiturami range of oil boilers. Productivity at the level of 34.9 kW makes it possible to heat a room up to 350 m2, but at the same time the cost of the boiler in retail is approximately 45-46 thousand rubles., which is undoubtedly an attractive option.

As in the entire range of boilers, burners with a unique torch shape and optimal fuel combustion are used.

The minimum amount of nitrogen oxides is registered in the exhaust, which indicates the high environmental friendliness of the equipment.

Customization

It is better to entrust the initial start-up and adjustment of Kiturami boilers to a specialist who can correctly determine the optimal operating mode, select the desired type of nozzle and adjust the fuel consumption depending on its characteristics and even the method of connecting and positioning the fuel tank.

For self-installation, complete with the boiler, detailed instructions are attached, according to which you can determine the operating mode closest to the design value.

The main thing is to adhere to the sequence of actions defined in the technical documentation and visual aid for putting the equipment into operation.

It is necessary to adjust and adjust the boiler settings not only at the first start, but also during maintenance before each new season and to switch to summer mode, in which only the DHW circuit will be used.

Strengths and weaknesses of diesel units

So, we found out that all boilers from this Korean manufacturer embody excellent quality, functionality, affordable cost and modern design. The fuel in this case can be both light oil product and kerosene. If the burner is replaced, it is also possible to switch to natural gas.

Other advantages of the devices include the presence of safety sensors with which you can monitor basic work processes. Tellingly, when creating these sensors, a unique technology was used that concerns the removal of fuel combustion products.

A distinctive feature of the Turbo series models is that they include floor-standing diesel heat generators, which can not only heat the room, but also warm water for domestic needs. Therefore, there is no need to purchase an expensive boiler, because all models of this series already belong to boiler-type devices.

Another advantage is the high degree of protection provided by the fact that the boilers are built-in:

  • sensors;
  • forced exhaust of flue gases;
  • control bullets;
  • thermostat.

The general advantages of all boilers from this manufacturer include the fact that they are quite capable of functioning in any conditions, and this is quite relevant for our country. And buying spare parts for Kiturami boilers is also no big deal, since the company has many dealerships.

When compared with boilers made by other manufacturers, the Korean models are distinguished by another of the most economical fuel consumptions.And if we talk about the performance of hot water, then this figure can reach twenty liters per minute.

And now let's talk about the main advantage of the described boilers - this, of course, is their affordable cost. To date, Kiturami diesel boilers can be purchased for an amount from 20-30 thousand rubles

... Moreover, this equipment has the widest range of models, due to which the requirements of not only the owners of country houses, but also the management of industrial facilities will be satisfied.

Malfunctions

Kuturami boiler equipment is equipped with a complete self-diagnosis system based on the operation of a number of sensors. The controller is able to assess the condition of the equipment as well as the current operating mode and respond to any deviations or problems that arise during operation.

In any emergency situation, the main action assigned to the boiler controller is to shutdown the burner to prevent significant consequences.

A well-developed self-diagnosis algorithm allows you to identify the problem and indicate the error code on the display so that the user can take all the necessary actions to repair and restore performance as quickly as possible.

Among the frequent breakdowns of Kiturami diesel boilers:

  • No ignition (error code 01);
  • Does not start, there are no messages on the display .;
  • Coolant leakage (depressurization of the heat exchanger or one of the pipeline connections);
  • The flame is periodically extinguished with an emergency stop of the boiler;
  • There is no draft, the operation of the boiler is accompanied by the ingress of smoke and exhaust into the room.

Error 01 and solution

If error code 01 appears on the boiler display screen, it means that the fuel has not ignited for some reason, there is no flame, the controller forcibly stops the fuel supply, issues an error message, signals the problem to the user.

Solving the problem requires an accurate implementation of the order of actions that can identify the source of the problem and eliminate the obstacle in the operation of the boiler as efficiently as possible.

In short, the procedure looks like this:

  1. Check the voltage in the power supply;
  2. Check the fuel line for integrity or its capacity;
  3. Check the condition of the fuel filter, if the scheduled replacement is close, then it is better to immediately change the consumable;

    fuel filter

  4. Especially for boilers 21R and 30R, check that the fuel does not flow by gravity;
  5. Change the fuel for the sample to another, as good as possible. Alternatively, it is possible, by acting on the air damper, to facilitate the supply of a rich fuel mixture to the combustion chamber;
  6. Check or replace the fire control photosensor;
  7. Check and clean the injector and ignition electrode;
  8. Check the transformer that sparks the electrodes.

Quite often, the fuel-air mixture is supplied under too much pressure into the chamber and therefore does not have time to ignite from the electrode. The problem is solved at the 5th step of the algorithm by adjusting the air damper, which is why a mixture with a changed concentration enters the chamber.

Doesn't start

The most unpleasant situation is when the boiler simply does not turn on. There are no signals on the display, and accordingly there is no error code by which the malfunction could be determined.

In such a situation, it would be adequate to call a service center specialist who can understand the situation and issue the correct verdict, as well as determine the repair procedure. On your own, you can only check the presence of voltage in the network, as well as the fuses in the boiler.

Leakage

Most often, a leak means that the gasket seal has been damaged in some connection of the pipeline inside the boiler. It is enough to inspect the equipment and determine the place of leakage, replace the gasket.

The heat exchanger in Kiturami boilers is made of alloy steel and copper, so it does not leak without obvious errors in the selection of the coolant or mechanical damage.

The burner goes out periodically

The most common cause is a malfunctioning burner setting. It is important to adjust its power and use a gas analyzer to determine the optimal air / fuel ratio for full combustion. Such work cannot be done on your own, so it is better to contact the service src = "https://udobnovdome.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nastroyka-gorelki.jpg" class = "aligncenter" width = "600 ″ height = "495" [/ img]
