How much does an 80 liter boiler weigh? Water heater accumulative vertical flat (80 liters)

Currently in stores household appliances There is a wide range of water heaters. You can purchase budget models that are made in a classic design. They have a round shape, which makes them seem quite bulky. A lot of space is needed to install such devices. And what about those who have very small apartments? Manufacturers also took care of this by producing (80 liters) vertical flat. As a rule, its depth is about 25 cm. Therefore, it can be placed in the bathroom, toilet and even in the kitchen.

Thanks to the beautiful design design, such devices will perfectly fit into the interior. The weight of flat boilers is about 30 kg. If you use special fasteners, then you can install them on any walls (concrete, plaster, wood). For example, Ariston ABS VLS QH 80. Its dimensions are: 1090 × 49 × 27 cm. Without water, it weighs 28 kg. The device is assembled in Russia. Equipped with two tanks (incoming and outgoing). There are three heating elements. The maximum temperature is 80 °C. Made in silver color, available trim gray shade(up and down). Control panel - electronic.

Equipment for flat water heaters

Storage water heater (80 liters) vertical flat consists of almost the same parts as the classic models:

• Frame.
• Water tanks. There are two of them in flat models.
• Thermal insulation. It is located between the tanks and the hull. Responsible for the long-term preservation of water temperature.
• Heating element. The number of heating elements can vary from one to three.
• Control Panel. It is located either on the front side or at the bottom of the water heater.
• Thermostat and thermometer. The regulator allows you to set the optimum temperature. You can change it at any time. The thermostat is a fuse against overheating, and it also turns off the heating element if the tank is empty. The thermometer shows the current water temperature.
• Branches. They provide supply cold water and the output is already heated.

Flaws

Storage water heater (80 liters) vertical flat even the most expensive has some drawbacks. Let's take a look at them:

• Heat loss. Due to the specific shape, the thermal insulation layer is quite thin. This leads to rapid cooling of the water and, as a result, to an increase in energy consumption.
• Jumpers between internal tanks. Most often, leaks occur in places where welds are located. This leads to rust formation. Unfortunately, even stainless steel containers fail quickly.
• High price. Compared to classic models, flat ones cost several thousand more. It is also worth paying attention: the purchase of spare parts and repairs will also be expensive.

Advantages

Storage water heater (80 liters) vertical flat, despite some disadvantages, there are many advantages:

Storage water heaters: firms

Currently the most popular are the following manufacturers:

• Electrolux- Swedish trademark. It is the world leader in the production of household appliances. Products are different high quality, excellent equipment and assembly. Studying the statistics, we can say that breakdowns in Electrolux flat boilers are extremely rare. The percentage of risk of a complete failure of the device is scanty. Service life - not less than 10 years. For example, the EWH 80 Royal model is popular. Heating element power - 2 kW. Convenient control panel. There is a temperature control and a thermometer.
• Ariston is an Italian brand. The company has been manufacturing boilers for 50 years. Customers respond well to the product. There are cases of breakdowns, but they are easily fixed. The storage water heater Ariston has been working without problems for about 6 years.
• Thermex- a company that for about 65 years has been engaged only in the production of water heaters. The buyer should be aware that the assembly of the appliances is carried out automatically. Manual labor person is not used. This significantly reduces the cost of production and improves quality. The manufacturer claims that within 7 years the water heater will work without breakdowns. A popular model is the Flat RZB 80-F. The body is designed in beautiful design. It will take about 2 hours to heat the water. Tank material - stainless steel.

Price

We continue to consider Price for many is a weighty criterion. For example, you will have to pay a lot of money for Swedish quality. Electrolux flat boilers for 80 liters are sold for an average of 12,000-15,000 rubles. The cost of Ariston water heaters is somewhat lower. Model ABS VLS QH 80 can be purchased for 10,000-11,000 rubles. As for Thermex products, the price of devices with a capacity of 80 liters starts at 9,000 rubles.

When purchasing a water heater, many pay attention to such an indicator as its dimensions. Therefore, before buying, you need to decide how much water you need, as well as the installation location of the heater.

Dimensions of storage water heaters

The volume of water that can be stored directly depends on the dimensions of the water heater. The heater with a capacity of 50 liters is much shorter in length than a similar model, but with a capacity of 100 liters. Usually tank diameter most heaters does not exceed 45 centimeters.

With an increase in volume, only the height of the water heater increases. For a tank with a capacity of 50 liters, the height is 50-60 cm, with a volume of 80 liters, the height reaches 75-85 cm, 100 liters - up to 115 cm, and the height of a heater with a capacity of 150 liters reaches 160 cm.

Flat tank heaters

It should be noted that heaters having a large height and diameter have an advantage over smaller counterparts. Based on this factor, it can be assumed that a large amount of thermal insulation layer which will significantly reduce heat loss. Therefore, it is necessary to think carefully before purchasing such a heater.

However, such devices have a number of disadvantages. So, a flat heater having a depth of 27 cm has a very large height. The result is a flat heater, which, in fact, has the dimensions of a conventional one. Square-shaped water heaters

The water heater, whose dimensions are small and the shape is close to a square, has become widespread. At the same time, inside such a water heater has circular section, and its diameter is 45 cm. Due to its size and shape, such a water heater has a long service life. This type of heater belongs to the premium segment, has an expressive appearance, and the thermal insulation of such tanks is at a high level.

Slim water heaters

A large number of manufacturers produce a water heater with a circular cross section - its dimensions do not exceed 38 cm in diameter. This type of heater is very reliable. They are widely used in applications where installation space is very limited. Installation produced in existing niches and various non-standard places. As already mentioned, with a decrease in thickness, the height of the heater increases. For example, a slim heater with a capacity of 50 liters has a height of 80 cm, 80 liters - 115 cm, 100 liters - reaches a height of 140 cm.

Flow type water heaters

In total, there are two types of flow heaters on the market - pressure and non-pressure. Pressureless heaters have low energy consumption and are able to heat water at two points if they are located nearby (for example, kitchen and bathroom). For a long service life, it is necessary that the water heater (dimensions do not matter) be installed in accordance with all installation rules. This is due to the fact that the pressure in such a device is equal to atmospheric. Therefore, when the boiler is on, the tap must be open. Otherwise, such a heater will not last long.

To turn on the pressure flow heater, you just need to open the valve. The device is equipped with a hydraulic regulator, which turns the device on and off due to the difference in water pressure at the inlet and outlet.

More comfortable is a water heater with automatic electronic control. This system not only automatically turns the device on and off, but also maintains the temperature at a constant level, which completely eliminates human intervention in this process.

The key parameter of heaters when choosing is the volume of the tank. "The bigger, the better"? This statement is not always true, because it takes a lot of time to warm up an impressive amount of water. Although you can give preference to a powerful unit, but in this case it will empty your pockets when paying for electricity.

How to determine the appropriate volume of a water heater? After all, the compactness of the device itself and the continuity of the flow of hot water will depend on its size.

The same model of a water heater is always available in several versions, ranging from the smallest to the largest tanks. But unlike flow-through types, where the pneumatic flow of water passing through the device is instantly heated to the maximum temperature, in the storage heater the tank is first filled and only then does temperature rise water in the tank. As it cools, the sensor cycles through the heating, which allows the water to always remain at the required level of heat.

Save on volume or not?

According to statistics, a city dweller uses every day from 100 to 400 liters of water, most of which is hot. And significant volume spent to no avail, inefficiently.

Naturally, the consumption of water by each person is purely individual. One will be able to use the volume of the water heater to take a full bath, leaving some water for washing dishes or hands, but for another family member it will take a little time for the next portion of water to heat up.

But if you don't care at all saving water consumption and electricity, and the financial security and potential of the power grid allow the use of a powerful heater, in this situation, purchase several devices with capacitive tanks of 200-300 liters.

Waiting time for water heating

The temperature level of hot water, set from the heater control panel, can be adjusted in the range from 30 to 80 degrees Celsius. But according to safety precautions, you need to fix it within 55-60 degrees to avoid injury. hot water.

Based on the fact that the temperature of cold water in the summer months is about +15 degrees, and in the winter +5, and comfortable for swimming is water with a temperature of about +30 + 40 degrees, different volumes will warm up in different times. For example, a water heater volume of 100 liters heats water up to 60 degrees in approximately 5 hours.

As hot water is consumed, it is gradually diluted with cold water, which continuously enters the tank. After mixing, from 160 to 250 liters of heated water is formed. Undoubtedly, the true values ​​\u200b\u200bare smaller, because with a decrease in hot water, the overall temperature indicators of the contents of the tank decrease.

The volume of the water heater consumed for different needs varies depending on personal preferences. So, individually for kitchen needs, a small 5-liter heater may be suitable. It will allow you to rinse your hands and some dishes. If you do not save on water, a water heater with a tank of 20 liters will be suitable.

To use the shower, you will need a tank capacity of at least 50 liters, taking a bath - 80-150 liters. Therefore, the selection of capacity is optimally coordinated with specialists who are guided by the personal needs of the user.

Now a lot of houses (both private and multi-apartment) are made of aerated concrete. This technology has many undoubted advantages, for example, it is light, breathable, warm. However, at first glance, it is not so durable; indeed, it can be cut with an ordinary saw. It's soft and crumbles easily! This is what scares, for example, is it possible to hang (fix) something on such a wall, say a boiler (in our opinion, a water heater), I mean a storage, not a flow option. After all, in order to take a shower normally, you need to take at least 50 liters, but will the wall withstand it? Actually, there will be another article about this + a video version at the end. So let's read and watch...

Water is becoming more expensive, so in order to save on it, it is often beneficial to hang a boiler. However, if on brick wall, as well as on concrete (slabs) you can hang without any special fears, both materials are very durable. That is an aerated concrete wall, it cannot always withstand such a weight, there are many cases on the network when a seemingly not even heavy water heater of 30-50 liters fell, tearing pieces out of the wall! So what to do, you can hang or not?

How much does a water heater weigh

Many mistakenly think that the water heater weighs "at face value." That is, if you took, say, 50 liters, then the total weight is about 50 kilograms! But this is extremely wrong, the weight of the water heater itself is also not small. I will give approximate weights by points:

• 30 liters on average, only the water heater itself will weigh about 13 - 15 kg
• 50l - 17 - 20 kilograms
• 80l - 22 - 24kg
• 100l - 24 - 26kg
• 120l - 26 - 30kg
• 150l - about 35kg
• 200l - about 57kg
• 300l - about 74kg

Of course, a lot depends on the manufacturer - what thickness of steel he used (as well as what material - ordinary steel or stainless steel), how much insulation he put in, how much the plastic tank weighs, how much electronic filling. BUT on average, the weight of the water heater is just that.

That is, if you summarize a little, it turns out - a boiler for 50 liters (20 kg) + water in it is another 50 kg, thus - total weight will be about 70kg .

We disassemble aerated concrete

Despite the apparent softness of the aerated concrete material (it can really be cut with a hacksaw), it can withstand fairly large loads. However, not all manufacturers make the same material. What I mean is that before you calculate how much weight the wall can support, you need to know the density of your aerated concrete. It is also different, and the withstand load will depend on this.

The minimum density that I myself have seen is 300 kg/m3. Such blocks are mainly taken for private houses and small buildings up to two floors.

The average density is 400 kg / m3, with such blocks it is possible to build houses up to three floors without any reinforcement.

The maximum density is 500 kg / m3, such material can be used up to 4 floors, without any reinforcement. That is, the blocks themselves are made as load-bearing walls.

Of course, perhaps the density is even higher, but I personally have not had to deal with this.

Guys, there are two types of load, this is the so-called- to put it bluntly, if you hang the heater to the ceiling, screw the bolts into the ceiling, then the boiler will try to pull them out.

Often, boilers are hung on capital, street or driveway walls. Their thickness is at least 25 cm (250 mm), and street walls can vary from 400 to 500 mm (almost half a meter). ON THIN WALLS FROM WHICH PARTITIONS ARE MADE, HANGING A BOILER - IS NOT RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY LARGE CAPACITY! Partition walls are often only 10 cm thick, they cannot support a lot of weight, and they really collapse.

About the shear load and density, I will take walls with a thickness of 25 cm, as well as one bolt with a diameter of 8 mm:

300 kg/m3 - withstands 50 kg

400 kg/m3 - about 70 kg

500 kg/m3 - about 90 kg

I have been looking for such information for a long time on various manufacturers' websites, maybe it is not entirely accurate, but here I indicated with a margin. On one resource of the manufacturer, it was said that a density of 300 kg / m3, if a bolt with a diameter of 8 mm and a length of 100 mm is screwed into it, can generally withstand about 100 kg of shear load!

That is, if you hang a water heater of 50 liters (and as we calculated from above it is about 70 kg), they usually hang it on 2 or 4 bolts, then even a wall with a density of 300 kg / m3 will withstand it EASILY! Indeed, in the version with 2 bolts, the withstand load on the cut will be about 100 kg, and with 4 bolts, 200 kg! If the density is taken at 400 - 500 kg / m3, then the withstand load is much greater, so a wall of 500 (4 bolts) can withstand up to 400 kg.

My version

hung on bearing wall in 50 cm, with a density of 400 - 500 kg / m3, the manufacturer indicates this on his website. True, I have a 120 liter boiler, and it also weighs about 25 kg, that is, it is necessary to withstand a total weight of 145 - 150 kg. True, 4 bolts are used for fastening, big weights already from 80kg, 4 fasteners are used!

What I bought are special dowel nails for aerated concrete, they look like special screws (they have protruding parts on the sides). A hole is drilled and it is hammered in there, and the side parts, as it were, cut “slots” in aerated concrete, this allows the dowel to sit firmly enough.

What else was done - I bought a dowel with a size of 10 X 70mm (there was simply no larger size), and I bought "plumbing bolts" with large washers, 8 X 100mm. Why did the bolt take longer? I read on one forum - that such a combination gives even greater strength to the fastening, the bolt passes through the dowel, and at the end, when it cuts through it, it presses the tail parts of the plastic even more strongly!

Actually, I took the dimensions from the water heater, drilled 4 holes 10 X 130 mm, hammered the dowels there and screwed in the “plumbing bolts”. After I hung the boiler and fixed it empty on the wall, VERY STRONGLY!

Then we turn on the water and observe, of course, I was a little worried, but everything is fine. ON 4 bolts, the boiler with a total weight of 145 - 150 kg, holds up perfectly, has been weighing for 4 months now, so you can hang it on aerated concrete! The main thing is to be smart! You can not hang on the walls of aerated concrete 10 cm (interior), water heaters more than 30 kg - THIS IS DANGEROUS!

Now the video version of the article, we are watching.

I end here, I think my article was useful to you, read our construction site.
