When there is often no hot water in the house, the question of choosing a water heater arises. There are two main types of boilers - horizontal and vertical.
Vertical or horizontal?
Horizontal water heaters differ fromof their vertical counterparts in that the incoming water will necessarily be mixed with the existing hot water, so that in general the water temperature will gradually decrease and it will be necessary to adjust the optimum mode with a mixer. Horizontal water heaters are used in homes where there is not enough ceiling height or there are structures that prevent vertical installation. So, the standard "Khrushchev" can not accommodate an ordinary boiler.
Device design
Водонагреватели горизонтальные имеют внутреннюю protection of the tank, which can be both titanium sputtering and dispersion enamel. The titanium layer makes the construction much more durable, but the device itself for heating water is much more expensive than the enamel analog. This technique is very popular in the summer season. And electric water heaters are horizontal able to satisfy the most demanding townspeople in their wishes for installation and further use. Moreover, they are much more popular than their gas counterparts. This is due to the fact that not all high-rise buildings have a connection to the source of natural gas. In order to always have the water of a suitable temperature in the house, it is enough to adjust the device once with an electronic control system.
Connecting and installing
To connect the water heatertake care of a good electrical network that would withstand the load of the boiler, make grounding and install fuses automatic. Horizontal water heaters are manually switched on and have one control mode. But it is also possible to install electronic control, several heating modes and other automatic functions. Also, installations for water heating differ in the number of calculations for water points - the installation can be one, designed for several rooms. So, the horizontal water heater "Ariston" is the leading product in the boilers market. It appeared on the market in the 60s of the last century, and during this time the goods were brought to perfection. Disadvantages of water heaters - their large dimensions, too long heating time and the need for periodic maintenance, as some elements may fail.
Characteristics
For buyers is also an important characteristic- the volume of the tank and the power of the heater. The spacious, medium and small water heaters are distinguished by their spaciousness. And the last kind will be appropriate in absolutely any housing, and large, on the contrary, suitable for large and crowded premises, offices, houses. It is preferable to choose a storage tank with "dry" fans - they are more durable in use. Ceramic fillers will last you much longer, and plastic fillers transmit heat much worse. Certainly, water heaters with stainless steel tanks are more durable, and copper tanks occupy a podium of honor among such goods.
