What Parts Does A Gas Boiler Have?

 Gas hips burn this element to be able to heat the water. The system itself is complex, as different aspects need to be addressed when installing the boiler. It is necessary to guarantee an efficient entrance of the liquid, as well as a safe expulsion of the combustion gases. Thus, it will carry out its work without major setbacks and will guarantee that your home is more comfortable.

Burner

It is the part in which the boiler fuel is burned, in this case, gas. This is one of the most important elements and is located inside the combustion chamber. Its function is to regulate the flame according to the needs of the entire system. For this, it has an electronic control of valves and impulsion pumps.

Smoke Circuit

They conduct the fumes generated by the combustion to other boiler parts, which prevents them from reaching your home and you end up breathing them. It is a part dedicated to security connected to the smoke box. It also helps to remove part of the heat generated in the combustion to transmit it to the water. In addition, the smoke does not go directly outside, as this would lead to a great loss of energy.

Water Circuit

The water circulates inside it while it heats up by absorbing heat from different sources. This reaches it by radiation, conduction or convection. It will acquire the same temperature as the surrounding walls. Thus, it will pass to the water outlet to distribute it to where it is needed.

Smoke Box

Inside this box the fumes generated by the combustion come together to go outside through the chimney. By the time they get to this part, they have lost much of their heat. In this way, as little energy as possible is wasted, which increases the efficiency of the boiler.

Combustion Chamber

It is the space in which the gas is burned and where the highest temperatures of the boiler are found. Depending on the model, it is possible to reach close to 200 °C.

Water Return

Connect the boiler to the outlet that returns cold water after it has been used. This has gone through the radiators, an ACS accumulator and other systems. You can reheat and continue the cycle as many times as necessary.

Water Outlet

It is the outlet that directs the hot liquid wherever it has to go. It comes from the boiler and is divided towards the different connected installations. It guarantees a minimum waste of water, as well as control of its direction.

Scheme Of Operation Of A Gas Boiler

Now that you know the boiler parts, it doesn't hurt to understand how they are put together. The process begins in the burner and inside it burns the gas to generate heat. This is directed to the walls of the combustion chamber through which the water that has arrived cold from the entrance circulates. Once it has made its way through the system, which is shaped like a serpentine, it goes to the exit to go where it is needed.

For its part, the smoke has been surrounding the walls of the combustion chamber, which allows the exchange of heat with the water. It goes through the smoke circuit until it reaches the cold box. The faster you drive, the greater the temperature exchange. In the end, he ends up expelled through the chimney without much inconvenience.

In any case, if you want to make sure that everything works correctly and avoids disappointment, trust the services of our technicians specialized in boiler parts.
