Turbocharged gas water heater helps out consumers whose housing is not equipped with a chimney. This water heater, burning gas, removes combustion products through a coaxial pipe. The combustion chamber in them is completely isolated - the air from the room is not used for combustion, the fan forces it from the street. Before the appearance of smokeless columns, many simply abandoned gas heaters in favor of electric boilers. Consider their features, the best models, user reviews.
- Power. With its increase, the volume of the hot stream increases. How to find out the approximate level of required power? Divide by 2 the value given in the passport of the device. The result is the flow rate of a fluid heated to 30 ° C per minute. If a value of 20 kW is indicated, the appliance can heat up to about 10 l / min. Knowing the needs of the family, each user will be able to decide whether such opportunities suit him.
- Performance. We are talking about the volume of heated fluid produced by the heater per unit time. If indicated: 12 l / min to 25 ° C, then the temperature of the feed stream should be added to this value. So, if the temperature of cold water is 10 ° C, then in a minute the device will heat it to 35 ° C (25 + 10) at a flow rate of 12 l / min.
Important! It is believed that at one point of water intake - a washbasin, shower or sink - a capacity of 5.5 l / min is enough.
Installation
Independent installation of gas water heaters is excluded - this should be done by specialists from the relevant services. But the connection to the water supply can be done independently. We need couplings to ensure tight joints, and a tee - it is necessary to provide hot and cold water. The user can also independently install a coaxial chimney.
Repairs
Do-it-yourself repair of turbo-devices is undesirable. It is independently allowed to carry out such preventive and repair work:
- chimney repair;
- chimney and burner cleaning;
- cleaning the water supply.

Reviews
Positive
Consumers in turbocharged versions like versatility - they can be installed in any room, regardless of the presence of the chimney. In the room where such an apparatus works, normal air humidity is maintained and there are no odors associated with the combustion process.
Negative
Many of the nuances of smokeless water heaters cause serious discontent among consumers. They do not like the noise of the device, the dependence on the power supply and the complexity of its installation - in the wall you have to drill a hole. Neighbors from above are often unhappy with the smell of gas and the noise of the fan, which can also create problems for owners of turbo appliances. Before you buy such a model, you need to objectively evaluate all the circumstances associated with its work.
Review Examples
Ariston MARCO POLO GI7S 11L FFI: Valery O., Dzerzhinsk
It has been working for six months now. There were no failures. Attractive look - does not spoil our new kitchen. There is one caveat - the volume of hot water. I did not understand how this function works - either the fire should turn off when the bathtub is full, or I myself must turn it off when the signal arrives. I will understand more. As for the power, it’s my fault - it was incorrectly calculated. It was necessary for our needs to take a model for 16 liters, since 11 liters was not enough.
Roda JSD20-T1: Anastasia M., Luza
The thing is not bad, it heats quickly, the output stream is hot. The problem with pressure is that it is constantly changing. If we open two mixers at the same time, the burner will go out immediately and then light up again. They invited the masters - they said everything was working properly, so I just had to open the cranes in turn. The fan makes a little noise - this is a minus. But there are no problems with exhaust gases and the smell of burning.
Turbocharged speakers will interest homeowners who don't have traditional chimneys. When buying such models, it is important to objectively assess the advantages and disadvantages that await the owners of such devices.
