1) How is maintenance done and is it necessary every year? In order to keep your wall hang boilers performance, periodically every year before winter, maintenance must be done by our authorized service shops. In maintenances, every function of the boiler is checked, generel cleaning and adjustments are done. And prepare your kombi for winter. If you wish with our Guarantee Stars and Plus Guarantee campaigns, you can be served for longer years. If you are using a open flue type boiler, instant water heater, natural gas-solid fuel stove you must clean and control your chimney every year for your life safety. top 2) Why the efficiency of natural gas is high? Because of its gas form, it is easier to mix with oxygen and a full combustion is performed. In solid and liquis fuels, with the arisement of carbonoxides, full combustion can not be performed. With natural gas, full combustion is performed and because of being the cheapest fuel for years, natural gas efficiency is higher than other fuels. top 3) What are the advantages of natural gas? - Natural gas does not create sulphuroxides and carbon wastes which pollute environment.
- The usage of natural gas is becoming wider and its heating capacity is higher.
- It burns with a higher efficiency.
- It is suitable for automatic control systems. Natural gas can be burned and put out easily.
- It can be used with all types of security systems and it is not necassary to store the natural gas.
- It is cheaper than other fuels.
- The known usage time for petroleum is 30 years, for natural gas it is 70 years.
top 4) For which purposes natural gas is used in homes? Natural gas is used for 3 main purposes: heating, domestic hot water and cooking. top 5) What must be done if there is a natural gas leakage? If there is gas smoke; - In order to ventilate the ambient, all of the doors and windows must be opened.
- The main gas entrance valve, which is at the entrance of the building, must be closed.
- If there is flame on oven or somewhere is, put out that flame.
- Electrical devices must not be runned, running devices must not be stopped.
- Local gas distributing company and the installer that made your installation system must be called.
- Natural gas emergency phone number: 187
- Phones of the building must not be used.
- Door bells and electric switches must not be used.
- Building director must be called.
- Elevators or other equipments must not be used.
top 6) How should the capacity of the boiler be determined in central heating systems? Before determining the new boiler capacity, the capacity of the present boiler should be learned. Then, the capacity of the radiators and the water volume in the system must be calculated in order to see if the present boiler is sufficient for the system or not. If there is heating problems in the building, heat loss of the every flat must be calculated and choice of the boiler must be done after that calculation. top 7) What are the properties of open flued boiler? Why should it be choosen? Open flue type of wall hung boilers, instant water heaters and natural gas stoves, gets the air for combustion from the ambient that they exist. After combustion they take away the combustion products via a chimmey system. Always new and clean air must be provided to ambient by air inlets. Also the dimensions and the conditions of the chimney must be suitable for the system. (Please look at practical chimney applications) top 8) What are the properties of fanned room sealed boiler? Why should it be choosen? Fanned room sealed type of wall hung boilers, instant water heaters and natural gas stoves are used for the buildings that don not have suitable chimney systems and are not easily ventilated. Fanned room sealed boiler gets the combustion air from the outer atmosphere and gives combustion products to outer atmosphere via its flue system. With this system ventilating the ambient is not necessary. top 9) I have cast iron radiators. Can I use them with wall hung boiler? Yes you can use. The amounth of water that each slice gets is known. With this information, the amounth of water in the system can be calculated. If the the amounth of water in the system is below the expansion tank capacity and the boiler can heat, you can use the boiler. If the capacity of the expansion tank is not sufficient, extra expansion tanks can be added to system. (E.C.A wall hung boilers have 8 liters of expansion tank) top 10) Can I operate my boiler with L.P.G (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)? If natural gas is not distributed to your city, you can use the boiler with L.P.G. The capacity of the boiler must not exceed 12.000 kcal/h. Two paralel or three paralel L.P.G tubes must be used with the system with a collector. Suitable equipments must be used with the system and special precautions must be taken for freezing of the L.P.G. Safety conditions for L.P.G. using is valid in boiler systems too. top 11) How can I use natural gas efficiently? Make your door, window, roof insulations very well if it is not sufficient. Heat loss from roof is nearly 20%. Use termostatic radiator valves. Use room thermostat or outside sensor with your system. top 12) The end parts of my panel radiators are not heated well, what can I do? Each radiator has a hot water inlet and cold water outlet parts. Close the water inlet and outlet valves of the radiators that work well. This will provide all the heating system water go to your radiator that does not heat. Also take the air in the radiator out with the special key. After that open all the radiators and start heating your home. Open fully the valves of the rooms that you use most, and open partially of the valves of other rooms. top
