Comparison Proskuriv AOGV-7PG 7 kW vs Proskuriv AOGV-7 7 kW

Regarding the installation method, boilers are divided into two main types: wall and floor.

— Wall-mounted boilers, as the name suggests, are designed to be mounted on a wall. They usually have low power, which makes it possible to do without a separate room for their installation, and relatively small dimensions, which allow the boiler to fit into the interior of a kitchen or bathroom.

— Floor boilers usually have more power than wall-mounted ones, which accordingly affects their weight, dimensions and the installation method. The weight is also due to the presence of a cast iron heat exchanger, which is considered more reliable and durable than copper, steel or silumin. Most boilers with a power of 50 kW or more and almost all boilers with a power of 100 kW or more are floor-standing.

— Parapet. They are designed for installation close to the wall; at the same time, the installation itself can be both wall-mounted and floor-mounted, depending on the dimensions and weight of the unit. All parapet boilers are gas-fired (see Energy source) and have a closed combustion chamber (see below); in this case, the flue goes directly through the wall, near which the boiler is located. One of the key advantages of such devices is their small size; a parapet boiler is considered a good option for a small city apartment or a private house with small rooms. Also, the advantages of such dev...ices are that they do not burn the air from the room and immediately remove the products of combustion to the outside. In addition, many of the boilers of this type have convection holes and during operation they also play the role of heating radiators.

The maximum pressure in the heating circuit of the boiler, at which it remains operational, and there is no risk of physical damage to the structure. For a heating system, the maximum pressure is usually about 3 bar, and for a domestic hot water circuit up to 10 bar. When the maximum pressure is exceeded, a safety valve is activated, and part of the water is discharged from the system until a normal pressure level is reached.
