Bosch solid fuel boilers and their features

One of the leading positions in the market of heating equipment is occupied by Bosch products. In particular, in our country among consumers, solid fuel boilers Bosch have a certain popularity. In this article we will get acquainted with their features and model range.

General information

Bosch started its history back in 1886, when a little-known at that time German engineer Robert Bosch opened a small workshop in Stuttgart. Very quickly, she earned the trust of customers and eventually turned into a large company.

However, Bosch began to engage in heating equipment only in 1932, at the same time, the owners of the company acquired the production of Junkers, which specialized in the production of geysers. Gradually, the company's product range expanded and conquered new markets in different countries of the world.

Nowadays, solid fuel and gas boilers Bosch heating are popular in more than 150 countries around the world. The reason for this success was the very "German quality", as well as focus on the needs of the consumer.

Features of solid fuel boilers from Bosch

It is easy to guess from the name, solid fuel boilers are designed to work on solid fuels.

Moreover, the owner of such equipment, as a rule, is offered some freedom of choice, since it is possible to use as fuel:

• Coke;
• Firewood;
• Coal briquettes;
• Brown coal;
• Wood chips.

Therefore, the equipment to some extent can be called universal.

Design features

Of great importance for the efficiency of the equipment is the heat exchanger device. Three-way heat exchangers made of heat-resistant steel or cast iron are used in modern Boshevsk boilers. A special design has a combustion chamber, which is also equipped with heat-resistant segments.

In the process of burning it uses primary and secondary air, and there is also the possibility of supplying additional air by turning the central grate, and additional front and back grate. The control of the latter is carried out using special levers.

The door of the ash pan is equipped with a choke, which allows you to adjust the flow of primary air. In addition, in the middle of the hull side panels are holes that allow you to adjust the flow of secondary air.

Thanks to the shaking lever, you can not open the furnace to separate the fuel from the ash. The loading hatch is hermetically closed and, thus, prevents emissions of combustion products to the outside.

Tip! Bosch solid fuel boiler can be used as a backup option if the house has electric or gas heating equipment.

Solid fuel units can be used for systems with forced circulation of coolant, as well as natural, open and closed type.

Merits

Among the main advantages of the considered equipment are the following points:

• Boilers work as efficiently as possible.;
• Simple instruction manual;
• Comply with all environmental regulations and standards;
• Low fuel consumption due to high efficiency;
• Differ in reliability and durability.
• Possess an attractive design..
• The ability to install their own hands, as there is no need to connect to the pipeline.

All these properties are achieved through the use of quality materials and some features of the design, which we consider below.

disadvantages

If you have decided to give preference to Bosch products when choosing solid fuel boilers, some of its drawbacks should be taken into account:

• The high price, especially given that the boilers from domestic manufacturers in recent years are not much inferior to foreign, and their cost is much lower.
• Volatility - despite the fact that solid fuel is used as an energy carrier, the boilers are equipped with electronics, and pumps are also used in the system. Therefore, for a fully autonomous heating operation, it is necessary to use an electric generator. (See also the article Circulation pump for heating: features.)

The rest is difficult to identify any shortcomings.

Bosh boiler range

The line of solid fuel boilers is represented by the brand Solid, which is available in three versions:

Below is a detailed look at the features of each model line.

Model 2000 B

Bosch 2000 B solid fuel boiler is able to heat houses with a large area. It should be noted that the device works only on coal. However, this model has a lot of other advantages, in particular, the device is completely non-volatile.

In addition, this model has a relatively low cost, good reliability and ergonomic design. Therefore, it is one of the most sought after by consumers.

Model 3000 H

This model for quality, efficiency and ease of use is considered one of the best in its class. The device can operate on all types of solid fuels. In this power, depending on the modification, ranges from 20 to 42 kW.

Thanks to such power, the heated area can be from 150 to 420 square meters. The efficiency of boilers is in the range of 78 - 82 percent, which is an excellent indicator. Of course, the cost of this device is higher.

Model 5000 W

The boilers of this model are modern equipment, whose work is based on the principle of pyrolysis, i.e. decomposition of wood into liquid, solid and gaseous constituents. (See also the article Heating a private house with firewood: features.)

In the process of pyrolysis, heat is released, due to which the heating medium is heated. Still such boilers are called long-burning devices, since the equipment on one tab is able to work much longer than traditional models.

Power Solid 5000 W ranges from 21 to 36 kW, depending on the modification. Because of this, they can be used for most private homes. True, the cost of this model is almost twice the cost of 3000 H.

That is, in fact, all the main features of Boshevsky boilers.

Tip! In addition to solid-fuel devices, gas boilers Bosch are very popular in the domestic market. They are an excellent option for arranging autonomous heating systems in urban apartments.

Conclusion

Bosch solid fuel boilers have excellent quality, functionality and a number of other advantages. Perhaps their only drawback is the high cost. Therefore, they will be an excellent choice for people who are not short of money.
