Gas boilers are widely used for heating country houses and cottages. The most reliable of the domestic units of this type are boilers "Siberia". They are produced in Rostov-on-Don at the Rostovgazoapparat enterprise, which has been manufacturing gas equipment since 1959. It is well known to the Russian consumer for the legendary AOGV gas boilers.

Boilers "Siberia": features, advantages, disadvantages, lineup
An important advantage of the units of Rostov manufacturers is high efficiency. This figure reaches 90%. Depending on the model, produced under the trademark "Siberia", they can be used to heat houses with an area of 100 to 500 square meters. m and several floors.
Units are produced with open and closed heat exchangers. The coolant heated in the heat exchanger in single-circuit boilers enters the three-way valve, and in double-circuit boilers it enters the secondary heat exchanger. A feature of the design of the boilers "Siberia" is the separate adjustment of water and heating. This allows them to be used only for domestic hot water in the summer.
All models of Siberian boilers are non-volatile and are configured to work with low gas pressure. If necessary, they are easy to convert to liquefied gas. Gas burners have an ignition stage and a main stage. The first is for ignition, which is done manually using a special piezo button.
The manufacturer gives a guarantee of up to 25 years for its equipment. The units have a floor installation option, they can be single- and double-circuit.
They are available on the market in two versions of the heat exchanger:
- steel;
- cast iron.
The power of the boilers included in the model range can be from 11 to 50 kW. The power range of models with a steel heat exchanger is from 11 to 35 kW, with a cast iron one - from 16 to 50 kW.
The latter are produced only in a single-circuit version and are intended only for space heating. The material of manufacture of the heat exchanger and the power of the unit are displayed in the marking of the boilers.
The line of cast-iron boilers "Siberia" includes 4 types of units:
- KCHGO 16;
- KCHGO 25;
- KCHGO 40;
- CCGO 50.
The letter "Ch" indicates the material of manufacture of the heat exchanger, and the numbers indicate the power of the unit. A similar type of marking is used for boilers equipped with a steel heat exchanger.
In addition to them, the manufacturer produces floor-standing boilers "Siberia" with a block of electric heating elements operating from a single-phase electrical network with a voltage of 220 V. Such equipment has the letter "E" in its marking.
Advantages and disadvantages of gas boilers "Siberia"
Rostovgazoapparat equipment is made of high quality materials using modern technologies.
Among the main advantages of the units of this brand:
- ease of management and maintenance;
- good thermal insulation;
- interesting design;
- small sizes;
- silent operation;
- wide model range;
- possibility of use in systems with natural and forced circulation of water;
- efficient heating of the coolant.
Designs have semi-automatic control. Automation controls the draft and flame. It is carried out using special sensors. They allow you to regulate the gas supply to the nozzles and maintain the exact heating temperature. The boilers have piezoelectric ignition. They meet the requirements of increased fire safety.
Gas burners of boilers are made of stainless steel. This provides them with a long service life. They do not burn out when working at low gas pressure.
The disadvantages of the equipment include low DHW performance and the lack of an extensive network of service centers throughout the country. In the event of a boiler breakdown, the owners may experience certain difficulties with its repair.

How to choose gas boilers "Siberia" for heating a house
Most owners of country houses prefer to install double-circuit units in them. They differ from single-circuit units in high fuel consumption.
Before buying a gas boiler for space heating and hot water, it is necessary to calculate the need for hot water. When buying equipment, take into account its power and what area of \u200b\u200bheating it is designed for.
FAQ
After installing the boiler in its permanent place of operation, it must first be connected to the direct and return pipelines of the heating circuit. After that, the double-circuit units are connected to the water supply. The last step is to connect to the gas supply pipes.
To check the draft, a lit match is brought under the gas outlet box. The flame determines whether there is thrust or not. Only after checking it and in the presence of what it is, open the gas supply valve and set the pointer handle to the “pilot” position.
To ignite the boiler, press the thermostat knob all the way. At the same time, press and hold the piezo ignition button until the gas burner lights up. After the boiler is ignited, the pointer knob is set to position "4".
The main reason for extinguishing the flame of a gas burner is to stop the gas supply. You need to check the fuel pressure. Among other common causes: a draft in the room in which the boiler is installed, the occurrence of back draft.
The reason for this operation of the boiler may be a lack of air. It is necessary to clean and blow out the burner and jets.
Gas boilers "Siberia" have established themselves as reliable units in operation. They have a long service life and affordable cost.
