What is the package?
Since the appearance of the package is very similar to wall water heaters, many people confuse this device with a water heater. In fact, the idea of these people is not wrong, because the package is actually a type of water heater, with the difference that in addition to heating the consumed water, it can also provide heating for the environment of the building like a small engine room.
The package is a combination of a water heater and a motor house, the way it works is that it provides hot water for the kitchen, bathroom and toilet of the building like a water heater. In addition, the package can be connected to radiators or underfloor heating system like a small engine house and helps to heat the house.
The working method of the package is that when you open the hot water tap, the message of opening the water tap is announced to the device board through various sensors used in the package system, including flow switch or flow meter. As a result, during a series of actions, the package burner is turned on and the cold water entering the device is heated inside the converter to be directed into the faucet through the outlet.
If you have set your package in winter mode, if the ambient temperature drops, the package sensor detects it and as a result directs the hot water to the radiators or the floor heating system to produce hot water. can be transferred to the environment through convection current in this device. Next, when the hot water in the heating path circulates one round, its heat is reduced, so by using the return piping system, the water enters the device's converter to be reheated and circulate in the heating path.
This cycle continues until none of the hot water taps in the house are opened, as soon as the first hot water tap is opened, the hot water circulation in the heating path is closed with the help of an electric valve so that the hot water reaches the tap. reach As a result, whenever you need hot water, the package can provide it for you immediately.
What are the types of packages?
Packages are classified into different models according to the type of fuel consumed, the number of converters and also the way their combustion system works.
For example, the packages are either single-converter or double-converter; Single converter packages are mostly used in small houses with low consumption, but for buildings where more hot water is needed, or the heating system must have high thermal power, or the water in the area is hard, the two converter package is a better option. is, because it has a higher heat capacity and also deposits later.
Also, the type of operation of the ignition system of the packages is different according to whether the device has a fan or without a fan. Often, for buildings where the package is to be installed inside the house, they suggest the type with a fan, because the device's fan helps to remove the gases from combustion, and as a result, the safety of the residents is provided more.
On the other hand, for houses where the installation of the package is in the balcony or any other open space, the model without fan can be used.
However, the packages are divided into two large categories, wall and ground packages, each of these models has its own functionality and can be installed in different buildings according to its characteristics.
Ground package
Ground packages are more similar to the engine room and in fact it can be said that this device is a reduced box of the engine room system, so they have a very high thermal power and can heat both the water used and the heating system of the building.
Ground packages are very diverse in terms of the type of fuel consumed, to the extent that they are designed and produced in electric, diesel, dual-fuel (gas-diesel) and triple-fuel (electric-gas-diesel) models.
As it is clear from the name of the ground package, this device is designed to be installed on the ground, and due to its large dimensions and the loud noise it produces, it must be installed in a space far from the residence. Therefore, they often suggest places such as warehouses, parking lots, or understairs for its installation. Although the electric model of this device produces less noise, due to its large dimensions, it is better not to limit the kitchen space by installing it.
The working method of ground packages is different according to the type of fuel used, for example, in gas and diesel type, the device is equipped with a burner, and when the gas or diesel fuel is turned on, it enters the combustion chamber along with air and creates a flame. he does. But the working method of ground electric packages is that the elements installed in this device cause the water to heat up.
This device has two heat exchangers, the hot water required for heating the environment is produced inside the primary exchanger and the hot water consumed is produced in the secondary exchanger of the device. The best example of a ground package is a model in which safety principles are observed and the quality of its parts is at a high level, so it is better to choose a ground package from among the well-known brands in the market.
This type of package is mostly used in places such as large residential and apartment units, commercial buildings, private companies, hospitals, sports halls and industrial units due to the production of a lot of noise and large dimensions.
Wall package
The simplest package model is the wall type, which is used in most houses. This device is installed on the wall, so it is not only smaller in terms of dimensions than the ground package, but also produces less noise.
The size of the wall package is so small that it can be placed inside a kitchen cabinet. In order to maintain the safety of the consumer, this device is designed with a double-walled chimney, in addition to this, the safety system of the wall package is designed so that the gas flow to the device is automatically cut off in case of lack of oxygen.
All kinds of wall packages are designed and produced in two models, single converter and two converters. Wall heaters are more popular than floor heaters due to their lower energy consumption, lower purchase price, and ease of installation. This device is often gas-burning, however, other fuels are used to run the package.
Types of Package in terms of fuel consumed
Probably up to this part of our conversation, you have noticed that the packages also have a high variety in terms of fuel and are generally categorized into one of the following models:
Gas burner package (wall and ground)
diesel fuel package (land)
Dual fuel package (ground)
Electric package (floor and wall)
Electric-gas-diesel (ground) three-burner package
According to the location of your building, you should prepare one of the types of packages in terms of fuel, for example, buying and installing a gas-burning model in areas where gas piping is not done is not a good option at all, and instead, a diesel-burning ground package is better. or double-burner is chosen, in this case, you can use the gas-burning capability of this device whenever the area is gassed.
Also note that the cost of electricity consumption is very high in our country, so we recommend that you choose an electric wall or floor heater only if there is no access to other fuels such as gas and diesel.
