How to adjust the gas column

The need to establish a column can arise for a variety of reasons. However, each owner of the device is faced with a typical problem: incorrect configuration of the gas column at the connection stage leads to incorrect operation. As a result, the expected results are not justified, and further use of the device leads to malfunctions. Household appliance manufacturers are trying to circumvent this problem by providing a system auto tuning. The obvious decision had no effect: not every buyer is willing to overpay for complex equipment with an incomprehensible principle of operation. Many people prefer to spend some time trying to learn how to set up a gas column on their own.

Preparing to set up a water heater

Adjusting the gas column does not take much time, but requires careful approach and attention. A painstaking process can cause a lot of questions for an untrained person. Before you adjust the household appliance, you need to shut off the flow of water to a minimum, because it is these indicators that are provided for in the instruction manual.. Neglect of these prescriptions leads to the fact that all subsequent settings will not be perceived by the system or lead to a result far from the expected result.

In most cases necessary expense equates to eight, ten or twelve liters, but there are some deviations, both upward and downward.

It is important to bear in mind that it is possible to adjust the gas column to exact values ​​only when using one mixer with hot water.

After completing the procedure described above, turn off the feed valve and proceed to the next step. As for the liquid, you must set minimum gas value. These settings are necessary to bring the water heater to the nominal values ​​prescribed for it.

At this step, it is recommended to connect the necessary for the gas column electronic equipment. Contrary to expectations, this is one of the easiest operations. It includes:

• connecting multiple wires;
• installation of batteries or consumable batteries used to ignite the fuel.

New models can be equipped with sophisticated equipment with screens and sensors. Such a system independently performs all settings and does not require user intervention.

Starting the device and adjusting the temperature

Having prepared the equipment properly, it is possible to carry out the first launch. First of all, it is necessary to open the tap with hot water, and explore it outlet temperature. The resulting figures should exceed the input value by twenty-four - twenty-six degrees.

If the liquid heats up too long, or the heating does not reach the required temperature at all - adjust the throttle stickby rolling it to a satisfactory condition.

In some systems, the handle is replaced by a toggle switch, it also needs to be brought into a certain position to get the desired result.

You can achieve the same results by control the volume of water supply. The higher the level, the colder the liquid, and vice versa.This is due to the elementary law of physics - the more the water flow, the slower it heats up. Relying on this method, it is necessary to take into account that the temperature of stagnant water can differ from the expected one, since the liquid will warm up.

Tuning subtleties

When setting up a gas water heater you need to remember that the liquid can not reach a comfortable temperature instantly. Do not try to hold all the settings for a few minutes - it will take quite a long time. After each stage, you will have to start all over again, namely, to drain the waste water, and allow it to heat up or cool down fresh. In general, such manipulations can last for half an hour, and sometimes even longer. For an experienced professional, this will take several times less.

When setting up equipment from different companies, for example, the Neva gas column, you may encounter two difficulties:

• fluid pressure;
• low water pressure, not causing the device to react;

Pressure problems

Pressure fluctuations can be triggered by a variety of conditions. Faced with the like, no need to panic, the situation is easily solved by replacing a worn valve or purchasing a special pressure regulator. This malfunction can cause serious damage and accelerate equipment wear.

Replacing the membrane in the gas column

Bad pressure

To eliminate the fault enough to replace leaky membrane. In general, this breakdown does not cause problems, but if the owner needs a lot of hot water, for example, to wash dishes, the column can not cope with heating a large flow.

Independent adjustment of the heater may take a long time, and the result may not always be satisfactory. It is best to entrust this procedure to a professional.
