Overview of gas water heaters Vector

Geyser Vector is very popular in the Russian market. Despite the fact that the models of this manufacturer are assembled from Chinese parts, they do not lose quality in service: the development and testing of products occurs under the guidance of Russian customers. There are opinions that this type of columns is the last century. Despite this, this type of heating equipment remains relevant. High performance, cheap energy source, compact size (compared to other types of water heaters) force buyers to stop their choice on such devices. The model range of water heaters from the manufacturer Vektor is small, but, due to the reasonable price and good technical characteristics, many buyers can afford them.

The main components of the gas column and its principle of operation

All water heaters of a model range have a similar design.

1. The main element and "heart" of the technical device is copper heat exchanger - it consists of many hollow tubes. Cold water flows there. Gas vapors, which appear due to the burner operation, contribute to the heating of cold water inside the pipes.
2. Regardless of the model, the Vector gas column is equipped electric ignition, which simplifies the work with the device, and makes it safer, since there is no igniter, which has a constantly burning flame, even a weak one.
3. After opening the crane, its work begins water gas knot. It consists of three parts: the gas unit itself (made of silumin), the adapter from the gas to the water unit (of the combined alloy) and the water unit (made of brass). The gas valve starts its work only when there is the necessary water pressure. The regulator is responsible for the timely supply of gas and controls its quantity to prevent leakage.
4. Gas-burnermade of stamped sheets, first burns the air mixture, and then contributes to its supply to a special combustion chamber.
5. From this chamber all by-products must be removed through gas outlet. It is made of thin steel. A sensor is installed in the flue to switch off the column in the absence of normal thrust. The thermostat heats up under the influence of hot air and opens, which contributes to the termination of the burner. This is another safety measure provided in the gas column.
6. To protect against overheating provided thermal sensorwhich is installed just in the place of the heat exchanger where the peak water temperature is recorded - the most convenient location. As soon as the water temperature reaches eighty degrees, it turns off the gas supply. In other words, the burner stops working.
7. Fuse regulates pressure. Also here you can drain the water from the column.

Geyser from the manufacturer Vector is a universal device for the implementation of the most simple tasks. Both natural gas and liquefied gas can be used for its operation. For ignition, a pressure of only 0.2 atmospheres is needed.

Advantages of geysers Vector

Gas instantaneous water heaters from the manufacturer in question have a number of visible advantages, thanks to which they have become widely used by Russian consumers. And first of all - it is an affordable price. Not every person is ready to give more than 10 thousand rubles for such equipment, and it is not always possible to do without it, living in a private house. In the model range of geysers Vektor there are devices no more than 4,000 rubles, at the same time they are capable of solving all universal tasks.

When buying such equipment, it is worth considering the cost of installation. Installation of such gas structures should be done only by qualified specialists.

Stylish look helps to keep fashionable room design. Since the column is available in universal colors, it will not focus on attention, and in some cases may even become a decorating element. In addition, the manufacturer of Vector care to save space in the room, so the gas water heater does not have large sizes. In the event that the device fails for any reason, then in any market you can find spare parts made in China that do not require large financial expenditures, and also extend the service of the column.

At the column convenient control system. Modern models have two knobs to control the flow of gas to the burner and the amount of water flowing through the heat exchanger. In some devices there is one more switch - between the winter / summer modes. In the first program, the burner works on all sections, with the Summer program, some sections are turned off. On the case (in the presence of an electronic display) you can see the set temperature of the water.

Disadvantages of gas columns Vector

Most users are confident that for a small amount of money they acquire a super unit, which is equipped with all the technical characteristics and functions. However, this is absolutely not the case. It should be understood that in connection with the use of the most economical version of Chinese parts, such a column will not be able to serve for many years, like, for example, similar models of a more expensive price segment. In some cases, after some time, alternative replacement options may be needed.

In addition, the walls of the heat exchanger, though made of copper, but have a very thin layer of it, so over time they can fade without sustaining high temperature. As mentioned above, the column is turned off only after the water reaches a temperature of 80 degrees. therefore walls become thinner over timeAs a result, the device becomes unusable.

There are also no additional flame control modules, which is not very convenient. In this case, the work is controlled by automation, which does not make individual changes according to the wishes.

In fact, there are exactly as many opinions as users.Some owners consider this column the best acquisition, and some consider the model of this manufacturer is not the most successful. In any case, until a person tries to use it independently, he cannot give an objective assessment.

Model range of geysers Vector

Speaking of gas columns Vector, we can note the following models.

1. JSD This model became popular a few years ago. First of all, the high demand is due to the low price for such devices, which is set at around 4,000 rubles. Also worth noting is the convenient small size. Such a gas water heater can be used even in a small room. Equipping with a digital display has greatly simplified the procedure of use, as well as automatic ignition. Geyser Vektor JSD 20 is available in several colors: white, gold and silver.

3. To date, the company has decided to move forward and developed a new model of a gas column called Lux ​​Eco. This option is equipped with the same functions as previous models, and also has advanced security system, which reduces the risk of overheating of the device. The combustion chamber in this device is water-cooled. The Vector Lux water heater control system allows you to independently adjust and set the desired temperature mode, there is a digital display. These models are developed taking into account possible pressure drops in the water mains. The outer case has a beautiful outer mirror surface with a different pattern, it looks very neat and stylish. The water heater of such a model has a standard package: the device of the gas column itself, flexible connections, fasteners, faucet, shower head, instruction.
