All about autonomous boiler rooms
A home cannot provide a high level of comfort if there is no warmth. The most reliable and profitable way of individual heating is the use of autonomous boiler room... It is such heating that is in demand among consumers, especially among owners of private houses.
What it is?
Autonomous heating center is a complex with heating equipment, which is actively used for heating. The peculiarity of such structures is that they are installed in direct access to buildings that need to be heated.
In addition, such complexes can boast of their versatility. Among the main advantages of such structures are the following.
- Versatility... Such a system is able to operate stably on both solid and liquid or gaseous fuels.
- Fast assembly capability... The production time of the boiler room depends on the design features, however, in general, manufacturing and assembly take a minimum amount of time.
- Factory ready... Modular units are manufactured and assembled directly in the factory. In addition, they undergo the necessary testing and commissioning there, so assembly and operation can begin immediately after delivery.
- Advanced automation. Such complexes boast advanced regulation and safety systems, so that they do not need constant monitoring by the user.
- Profitability... These heating centers do not need capital construction, the use of networks and communications, which is reflected in the final cost of the structure.
High level of technological equipment, as well as the use of in the process of manufacturing advanced equipment and automation equipment makes the operation of the boiler house as simple and convenient as possible.
All boiler rooms are necessarily equipped with an information system that will immediately notify all necessary services in the event of an emergency or dangerous situation.
Requirements
One of the most important stages of arranging the heating system of a private house is design stage. It is necessary to provide for all the design features of the premises and communications, so that in the future there will be no problems during operation. If the installation of an autonomous boiler room is carried out in a residential area where repair work is being carried out, then some points may appear that should be paid close attention.
Among the main requirements that apply to the premises, the following can be distinguished.
- Boiler equipment may not be installed in every room. According to building codes, only a kitchen or a separate annex is suitable for this, where it will be possible to install a furnace. Often a basement is used as a place for arrangement.
- The heat boiler is best mounted in an annex adjacent to the main building. In addition, in the presence of powerful floors, such equipment can be easily mounted on the roof.
- In accordance with domestic standards, boilers cannot be installed in the kitchen if their power is more than 60 kW.
- The height of the ceilings in the room with boiler installations cannot be less than 2.5 meters.
It is best to erect a detached building, which will contain all the elements of such a system.This is not only convenient, but also provides safety in the event of an emergency.
In this case, you need to take care of the presence of a small window that will allow fresh air to enter the room.
Areas of use
Many areas of industry today cannot work without the use of an autonomous boiler house. This not only allows you to save money, but also makes it possible to continuously heat the required premises. During operation, autonomous boiler rooms can effectively provide industrial and residential premises with heat.
Among the main areas of application of such complexes are the following:
- enterprises involved in the production sector;
- objects of social significance;
- Housing and communal services;
- oil and gas facilities.
It should be understood that modern autonomous boiler rooms may differ from each other, therefore, you should carefully study the features of each model before installing and starting to use.
Design standards
In order for the boiler room to work as efficiently as possible, close attention must be paid to design standards... First of all, we pay attention to the heat output, which should not be greater than the need for heating or ventilation. If we are talking about a public or administrative building, then it is allowed to build stand-alone boiler houses, the capacity of which is no more than 3 MW. For production facilities, these can be complexes with a steam pressure of up to 0.07 MPa. In this case, the power should be no more than the demand.
In the process of arranging an apartment building or a private house it is not allowed to place roof-top boiler rooms directly on the ceilings... In addition, you cannot equip boiler rooms over production areas or warehouses.
Stand-alone boiler rooms are also prohibited for installation in children's or medical institutions.
During design, it is best to give preference to materials and other elements that will be in harmony with the architectural appearance of the building as much as possible. The installation must be carried out in such a way that the cleaning of chimneys in the future will not cause problems and difficulties.
Thus, autonomous boiler rooms are an effective way to heat a room. In the process of choosing the best option it is worth taking into account the design features of the room, as well as the expediency of using a certain type of fuel... Such a mobile installation will be profitable from an economic point of view, both in a private and in an apartment building.
Selection Tips
The main function of an autonomous boiler room is to provide heat and hot water to all residential or technological objects. The advantage of such a complex is that it is ready for use immediately after installation. In order for the complex to be able to fully perform the functions assigned to it, you need to pay close attention to the process of its selection.
Most important is the type of fuel that is needed for the job. Today, such complexes can be gas, diesel, operating on waste oil or fuel oil, as well as on solid fuel.
Gas are considered the most popular and demanded. The principle of heat generation here is based on the fact that the gas burns and produces heat, while heating all the necessary rooms. The main advantage of such a system is the relative cheapness of the fuel and the efficiency of the equipment itself. With proper installation and use, such boiler rooms can serve for many years.
Concerning disadvantages gas options, then the explosion hazard can be noted. However, all modern boilers boast the presence of various protective mechanisms that prevent fuel leakage. It is on them that you need to pay close attention in the process of choosing an autonomous gas boiler house.
The second most popular is diesel an autonomous boiler room, in which diesel fuel is used to heat the coolant. It should be noted that the efficiency here is also quite high. Among the main advantages of this option, it is worth noting its low fire hazard, which usually makes people give preference to it. However, it should be borne in mind that the fuel smells extremely unpleasant, therefore, a terrible smell is constantly present in the boiler room itself.
In addition, used in such complexes the equipment is distinguished by its exactingness to the quality of fuel. If you do not follow the basic rules, then the boiler will quickly fail and you will have to purchase a new one.
The cost of a diesel engine is quite high, which means that the profitability of such equipment remains in doubt.
In recent years, have been very popular boilersthat run on waste oil. The unique burner is designed in such a way that it burns fuel without any problems. Main advantage using such a complex at its affordable cost, because mining is several times cheaper than diesel fuel. At the same time, the efficiency is the same high as that of diesel installations, therefore, the user will not feel the difference in the amount of heat received, but he will be able to save money.
The main advantage of such models over gas models is that there will be no need to develop any projects and obtain permission to install or equip the complex. The benefit from using such a boiler room also consists in a quick payback.
In order to choose the best option, you need to take into account all your needs and take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each type of autonomous boiler room. Based on the data collected, the most appropriate option can be selected.
It is also important in the selection process boiler room power. It is worth calculating how much space it will have to warm up, and then start arranging an individual heating system.
Should also the region where such a complex will be installed is taken into account. For example, if the area is far from the gas main, then there is no point in installing gas boilers, but it is better to give preference to other options.
