Kiturami oil boilers: descriptions of popular models

Gas heating boilers made in South Korea are considered to be products of average quality and cost.

This is quite a fair opinion, however, there are pleasant exceptions.

Kiturami products deserve to be put on a par with the most famous and popular boilers of European production.

High quality, advanced design and other advantages of the units made them famous and in demand both all over the world and in Russia.

Boilers demonstrate high competitiveness, have a lot of advantages and require more careful consideration.

Kiturami gas boilers

The South Korean company Kiturami was founded in 1962 as a small metalworking workshop.

During its existence, a small company has managed to develop into a solid and powerful corporation that produces a wide range of heating equipment for various purposes.... Scientific and technical research is underway, new units and parts are being tested.

Kiturami gas boilers are created according to the most efficient and advanced technologies, but without excessive oversaturation of unused functions that only increase the cost.

The result of this approach is a range of economical and durable units capable of performing tasks of any complexity and volume, with high reliability, resistance to external loads and durability.

Views

Kiturami gas boilers are available in a wide range and can be conditionally divided into groups according to certain criteria.

By type of installation there are:

• Floor standing... Installed on a special stand or directly on the floor.
• Wall mounted... They are hung on solid walls or on special supporting structures - ramps. Hitching onto temporary or plasterboard partitions is prohibited.

By feature set:

• Single-circuit... Carry out only heating of the coolant for the heating system.
• Double-circuit... In parallel with heating the coolant, they are capable of heating hot water for domestic needs in a flowing manner.

All models are equipped with a closed combustion chamber (turbocharged). This means that air supply and smoke extraction are carried out using a special turbocharger fan, which provides stable draft and independence from external weather conditions or the characteristics of room ventilation.

By type of heat transfer:

• Convection... Normal heating of the heating medium in the flame of a gas burner.
• Condensing... Intermediate heating of the coolant is used from the thermal energy obtained by condensing water vapor from the exhaust smoke. The full operation of such a boiler is possible only on low-temperature heating systems (such as underfloor heating), as well as if the temperature difference inside and outside the room does not exceed 20 °. In other conditions, the boiler operates as a conventional condensing unit.

IMPORTANT!

Among the Kiturami lines, there are condensing boilers that require specific operating conditions that are impossible in most regions of Russia. When choosing a unit, this should be taken into account, since the prices of condensing models are much higher than those of convection ones.

Characteristics important when choosing a boiler

1) Heat output

The choice of boiler power is very important when purchasing it. Decisions taken "by eye" are absolutely inappropriate here. Otherwise, it may turn out that the new boiler will not cope with its task, and there will be little hot water and not enough heat in the house; or you simply overpay by choosing a much more powerful unit than necessary.To prevent this from happening, you need to take into account the features of the structure, climate, and also make calculations for the power reserve and heat loss. The designer will help you with this. You can save money by using a special method for determining the boiler output. It is taken at the rate of 1 kW per 10 meters. This method is not 100% accurate, so by choosing it, you assume all possible consequences.

2) Fuel consumption

There are many factors that affect fuel consumption:

• correct installation of equipment and adjustment of burners;
• chimney design;
• individual characteristics of the building and its walls;
• operating mode of the building;
• accuracy of calculations when selecting a heating system.

The designers of Kiturami boilers place great emphasis on economy and fuel efficiency. There are many patented developments in this area, and all of them are aimed at improving the efficiency of fuel combustion. Some processes in boiler control are fully automated, which allows you to use them most efficiently in any heating system.

3) Heating system height

Also, an important point when choosing a boiler. And here a huge advantage of the Kiturami company is that you can choose from models for any height of the heating system. Boilers of the TURBO, KSG, TGB, KRM, WORLD 5000 series are used in heating systems up to 20 meters high. And the KSG and KSO models with a capacity of 58 kW to 465 kW are intended for heating systems up to 35 meters high.

Gas series and related models

Among the Kiturami floor standing boilers there are the following series:

• KSG... Powerful heating systems developing from 50 to 200 kW. Designed for heating only, but can be connected to an external storage tank, which makes them capable of supplying the house with hot water. They are capable of heating large areas, if necessary, they can be connected in a cascade of up to 4 units.
• STSG... 4 models of relatively low power (from 16 to 58 kW), designed for heating small and medium-sized private houses. All models are double-circuit, equipped with a separate heat exchanger, with a closed combustion chamber.

Kiturami wall mounted boiler series:

• WORLD PLUS... The series is represented by 5 models with a capacity of 15, 16, 20, 29, 34.9 kW. All models are double-circuit, designed for heating and supplying hot water to rooms up to 350 m2. The series is manufactured specifically for use on the territory of Russia, adapted to technological and climatic conditions.
• TWIN ALPHA... 5 models from 15 to 35 kW. Double-circuit boilers with a separate heat exchanger.
• TWIN ALPHA NEW COAXIAL... A slightly improved TWIN ALPHA series, which includes models with the same parameters. Designed to use a European type coaxial chimney (horizontal),

There is also the Kiturami Eco series, made up of condensing boilers.

Types of boilers Kiturami

Kiturami boilers can be subdivided by design and power as follows:

• Diesel floor standing boilers Kiturami. Turbo series (9000-35000 watts) and KSOG (58000-465000 watts) with Turbo burner.
• Floor standing gas boilers Kiturami. TGB series (35000 watts), KSOG with TGB torch (58000-465000 watts).
• Wall-hung boilers are presented only with gas models from 15 to 35 kW.

Let's look at the characteristics of Kiturami boilers using the example of the Kiturami Turbo diesel boiler.

Device

The main structural elements of the boilers are the gas burner and the heat exchanger. These are independent units, but they work in pairs and are structurally combined.

The heat carrier under the action of the circulation pump enters the heat exchanger, heats up and leaves the secondary plate heat exchanger, where it gives off part of the thermal energy for the preparation of hot water. After that, the coolant flows into the heating circuit.

Exhaust and air supply for normal combustion is provided by the turbocharger fan, and the control board controls the operation of the system.

A system of self-diagnosis sensors is connected to it, detecting malfunctions and giving signals to the control board, which immediately triggers an alert on the boiler display.

Kiturami KRP

Kiturami KRP pellet boilers for heating and hot water supply. Pellets are used as fuel - a form of solid fuel in the form of pellets made from compressed wood waste. Pellet boilers Kiturami KRP use wood pellets of the 1st and 2nd category Ø 6 - 8 mm and length 10-30 mm. Pellets exposed to water or moisture turn into wood flour, as a result of which they lose their fuel properties. The use of such wood meal as fuel can seriously reduce the efficiency of the unit, including a decrease in power and an increase in ash production. The built-in circulation pump is used when supplying hot water in order to evenly distribute heat in the heat exchanger. This design guarantees efficient hot water supply. The package includes a room thermostat. It has a number of useful functions, such as: season selection for setting the heating water temperature, switching on and off by time, the autonomous operation function maintains a minimum room temperature and prevents the boiler from bursting, the flushing function provides a large amount of hot water and others. Some technical features of the Kiturami KRP pellet boiler

The lineup

The development of the KSO models was initially carried out as a gas-fired equipment. After, changing the type of burner and slightly changing the monitoring and control system, it became possible to use other energy sources. Diesel fuel became the main one. The turbo-cyclone burner has contributed to 100% fuel combustion and increased efficiency. The advantages of the model are simplicity of design, ease of maintenance and low price.

Biofuel boilers KRM-30R and KRM -70R with the changes made to their design, both diesel fuel and other solid fuels are used. The transition from one type of fuel to another is quick. The forced circulation system improves the efficiency of the heater. These models differ only in power.

Turbo 13r model generates 13,000 kcal / hour of thermal energy or 15.1 kW, which is enough to heat 150 sq. m. Heat costs for the preparation of hot water supply are taken into account. With significant regular waste of boiling water, the thermal circuit power is lower.

Turbo 17 model has a thermal power parameter of 19.8 kW, sufficient to heat 180 sq. m. To increase the limit of the upper performance threshold, nozzles on the burner are selected, which can affect fuel consumption.

Turbo 21r model with a capacity of 24.4 kW has an increased productivity of the DHW circuit. In this case, the dimensions of the boiler remain unchanged.

Liquid fuel turbo 30 r model has a capacity of 34.9 kW, sufficient for heating 350 sq. m. Equipped with torch-shaped burners, the fuel combustion mode is optimal. Due to the low amount of nitrogen oxides, it is a highly environmentally friendly equipment.

Major malfunctions

Kiturami boilers are renowned for their reliability and durability of parts. However, the possibility of individual problems cannot be ruled out.

Most often, the components that are under maximum load fail - the heat exchanger and the gas burner.

A layer of lime scale builds up in the heat exchanger, which reduces the heat transfer efficiency.

It is necessary to increase the combustion temperature, as a result of which the outer part of the unit gets too hot and fails.

A gas burner is susceptible to clogged nozzles and other problems that lead to flame extinguishing and difficulty in firing up the boiler..

Often there are malfunctions of the self-diagnosis system sensors themselves - poor contact, open circuit, short circuit.

Floor standing boilers

Each Kiturami floor standing machine is equipped with a turbo cyclone burner. If necessary, it can be replaced with a diesel one. The manufacturer offers three versions:

• STSG. Heating capacity 15-35 kW. Compact. Capacious DHW tank. Steel radiator - welded using innovative technologies that exclude leaks.
• TURBO. Low noise level. The original structure of the heat exchanger chamber - combustion products pass through it repeatedly.
• KSOG. They differ from other versions in large dimensions, higher heat output - 58-454 kW, and the use of special heat transfer pipes. Pressed pipes increase efficiency.

Error codes, decryption and how to fix

Consider the most common errors of Kiturami boilers:
