Boiler safety group: purpose and device

For heating private houses very oftensingle-circuit boilers are used. In the event that a boiler is connected to such a boiler, in addition to the heating function, it can perform the function of heating and supplying hot water.

Such an element of construction as the groupsafety of the boiler, is simply necessary to ensure proper control of the heating system. The group is designed to protect the boiler from air and overpressure. This system includes the following elements:

• air vent with shut-off valve;
• manometer for measuring pressure;
• safety valve.

Also, the boiler safety group can be additionally equipped with various useful accessories. Such, for example, as:

• flow limiters, shut-off valves, etc .;
• thermometers for measuring temperature in the street and in the room;
• various elements necessary for connecting the boiler to the boiler, etc.

Basic and additional elements that caninclude a safety group of the boiler, provide a coolant discharge in the event of a critical increase in pressure, remove gases from the system and perform many other important functions.

The importance of this system in the design of the boiler is difficultto overestimate. It depends on the safety of both the state of the boiler itself and its owner. Therefore, it should be characterized by maximum reliability and ease of use. Choose a better product of proven brands. For example, the German Watts security group fully meets all these requirements. It includes all the basic necessary elements and is most often mounted in an upright position. The installation of the safety group, in view of the particular importance of this system in the design of the boiler, is best trusted by specialists.

During installation, it is necessary to take into account the fact that betweenthe supply pipe and the group should not be any valves and taps. In the event that the valve is closed, there is a high probability of equipment failure due to an increase in pressure in the pipe. In addition, stop valves are not allowed in this place.

If a water heater is connected to the boiler, its design is equipped with a system such as a boiler security group. Usually it includes the following structural elements:

• safety valve;
• a shut-off valve that allows manual shut-off of the water supply to the boiler;
• check valve.

Building or buying a house for yourself and your family,the main thing that any modern person usually thinks about is his safety and reliability. Therefore, take seriously the choice of such important equipment as the security group of the boiler and boiler. Domestic heating boilers are quite dangerous appliances that require proper operation with maximum observance of all safety measures. In no case should you allow the replacement of the elements of these systems by imitating them or exclude any sensors from the overall boiler circuit. Use the device correctly, and it will serve you faithfully for many years.
