Electrode boiler "Galan": reviews and installation

The company "Galan" was founded in 1992. At its disposal already at that time there were interesting conversion developments. In addition, she used various standards of military equipment. The company "Galan" understood that old boilers with liquid as well as solid fuel are not very effective. Plus, they take up a lot of space, in most cases are unsafe for a person and can harm his health. The same applies to boilers that are operated on gaseous fuels. Given this, everyone understood the need to create completely new heating systems.

That is why the company "Galan" in 1993 began its research in the field of electrode boilers. They are classified as flowing devices. In fact, these devices were electrical heating, functioning due to the ionization of the coolant.

How did it all start?

The first electrode boiler "Galan" has received positive reviews . Invented it was in 1994. Everyone immediately realized that this technology has the right to exist. Based on the results of some tests, the scientists came to the conclusion that new boilers can significantly save. As a result, it became possible to heat a large room and spend less energy on it than a conventional boiler.

An additional advantage of such devices was their cost. Immediately after the release of the device began to install in various posts and warehouses, which were far from the communication networks. They were also used as a means of combating natural disasters. At the same time there was a great saving of money, which could not but please people.

In 1997, the company "Galan" began to improve all its factories. First of all, modern materials for the production of boilers were purchased. Also, new technologies were tested that could simplify the production process. Additionally, the company tried to automate all processes and eliminate the human factor. As a result, subsequent models of electrode boilers have become safer. In many respects this is connected with solving the problems of network closure. Also, new fire-resistant materials were able to guarantee safety when operating the device.

In 1998, all models of electrode boilers "Galan" were equipped with a new function. It allowed to save much electricity. As a result of the tests, scientists concluded that the cost reduction by 30% compared with previous models.

Further, the company "Galan" was aimed at producing new electrode boilers for heating large houses and utility rooms. They were produced with a specific power from 4 to 26 kW. Such boilers were designed to heat an area of about 500 cubic meters. M. They had an attractive appearance and did not spoil the interior of the room.

To regulate such boilers, the regulator was soon improved. It had many functions and allowed to constantly monitor the operation of the device. The first control unit was called "Galan 0456".

Antifreeze

Since the creation of electrode boilers, there has been an acute problem associated with the formation of scale on the surface of the heat exchange sections. As a result, corrosion appeared, and then such an aggregate could no longer be operated normally.

In 1988, scientists of the company "Galan" began to develop a new antifreeze, which could cope with such problems. Soon it was released, and in the first days showed a positive side. Its advantage consisted in the possibility of using the device at low temperatures. Antifreeze was allowed to use even at -60 degrees. At the same time, it prevented the formation of scale on the surface and could remove the existing layer. Dissolution of scale even at such low temperatures occurred with the help of special additives, which were added to the antifreeze.

Successful novelty

The devices in question deserved real popularity in 1999. At this time, a new model was produced - the electrode boiler "Galan" "Ochag-3". It was radically different from previous developments and had good characteristics. In many respects this was made possible through the use of innovative materials. In addition, the research center "Galan" was able to significantly advance in its research and did not cease to improve the technology of production. Considering this, the electrode boiler "Galan" "Ochag-3" was considered the most popular model and was in great demand. However, a new model of "Galan" "Ochag-5" was soon released. It differed from the previous specimen by much greater power. As a rule, it was used in the premises of more than 80 sq.m.

In 2001 the company released a new antifreeze "Galan-Potok". He was notable for additives, which coped better with their tasks. The existing scale was successfully removed, the formation of a new layer was prevented. All this was reflected in the longevity of using such devices as electrode boilers of heating "Galan". Antifreeze was soon approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and became widely used by consumers.

Electric electrode boilers "Galan" with replaceable cassettes

In 2001, specialists began to work on new devices that would have replaceable cassettes for electrodes. The purpose of this development was to improve the design of the device. Boilers with replaceable cassettes are very easy to use. Unlike previous models, their repair was much easier. Additional services were inexpensive. In this case, the devices were much more powerful. Such types of electrode boilers include Galan Geyser-9 and Galan Geyser-25. According to the characteristics, they are able to heat rooms of more than 320 square meters. M.

Temperature regulator

In 2003, the first automatic temperature controller "Galan" was launched under the name "Navigator". The peculiarity of this device was its program. With the help of this device it became possible to program the heating system depending on the time of day. The microcontroller of the device had special indicators that showed all the settings. In addition, the "Navigator" was equipped with a protective device with an electromagnetic relay. The power of this contactor was 20 kW. All this provided greater reliability and comfort of use. "Navigator" had an interesting design and looked good in any room. Also it should be noted its low cost.

Function of the electrode boiler
