Efficient and failure-free central heating installation (WHAT) and domestic hot water (DHW) is the basis of comfort in every home. Not only do they play a key role here boilers, heat buffers or hydrophores, but also properly selected accessories – valves, controllers, pumps and control sets. As a manufacturer of brand pumps and accessories IBO i IPRO, company Dambat provides solutions that allow you to build a modern and effective central heating and hot water system, tailored to individual needs.
Boilers – the heart of the home hot water installation
Boiler is a tank used for heating and storing domestic hot water. They are the most frequently chosen 120l boilers – ideal for 2-3 person households – or larger 300l boilersthat provide comfort even for a large family. The choice of capacity depends on the number of users and the number of water intake points.
It is also an increasingly popular solution 300l boiler with an additional coil that can work with a heat pump or a central heating boiler. Such devices guarantee high efficiency and allow you to optimize energy consumption. Combined with appropriate equipment - e.g. safety valves or electronic temperature controllers - they create a stable and energy-saving system.
Heaters with a thermostat - an effective source of heat
Although Dambat does not produce heaters, in the context of hot water installations, it is worth mentioning accessories such as: heaters with thermostat or boiler heater with thermostat. These are elements that enable quick and precise heating of the water in the tank, and at the same time increase the efficiency of the entire system. When choosing brand equipment IBO or IPRO, you can perfectly integrate such an element with the rest of the installation.
Heat buffers - energy storage for your installation
Heat buffers 1000l are large tanks accumulating thermal energy that cooperate with boilers, heat pumps or solar installations. Thanks to them, the heating system operates more stably and the heating devices do not have to be turned on too often. This translates into a longer service life of the entire system, lower fuel consumption and more uniform room heating.
The buffer acts as a "storage" - it accumulates heat when production is greater than demand, and then releases it when consumption increases. For a single-family house with an area of 150–200 m², it is usually sufficient 200l hot water tank or a buffer with a capacity of 500–1000 l, depending on the heat source and installation scheme. Proper selection is also an important element of the entire system circulation pump or circulation pump, which ensures a continuous flow of heating medium through the system. Its task is to maintain constant water circulation in the installation, which allows for quick delivery of heat to each receiver and uniform supply of all consumption points.
A properly selected pump not only increases the comfort of use, but also increases the efficiency of the entire system and minimizes the risk of the so-called dead zones in the installation. Thanks to this, the heat stored in the buffer can be fully used, and the heating works effectively and economically, regardless of the energy source. Modern central heating heat exchangers and control equipment available in the offer Dambat they allow for even better use of the buffers' potential - they improve the efficiency of energy transfer, ensure smooth temperature regulation and enable intelligent management of the operation of the entire system.
Hydrophores – a reliable source of water pressure
Definition hydrophore is actually a common name hydrophore set, i.e. a complete system used to maintain constant pressure in water supply installations. Such a set consists of several key elements that together ensure its proper and safe operation. The hydrophore set includes: pressure tank, which stores water and stabilizes the pressure in the installation, centrifugal pump responsible for water pumping, pressure controller (also called pressure switch), which automatically starts and stops the pump as well piping, security, drain valves i pressure gauge to control the working pressure.
Hydrophores 50l are compact and at the same time very efficient sets that are perfect for single-family houses, recreational plots, farms or systems with their own water intake. Their task is not only to ensure constant pressure in the network, but also to protect the pump against too frequent activation, which translates into its longer life. Thanks to the presence of a pressure tank, the system can collect water and release it when needed, which increases the comfort of use and the efficiency of the entire system.
Company Dambat – as a pump manufacturer IBO and automation systems IPRO – offers a wide selection of accessories for hydrophore sets. The offer includes, among others: electronic pressure controllers, check valves, pressure gauges, and also complete hydrophore sets adapted to various needs and working conditions. Such comprehensive solutions ensure durability, safety and optimal operation of the entire water system, regardless of the size of the installation and the intensity of its use.
How to choose a boiler, heat buffer and hydrophore - practical tips
The selection of central heating and hot water installation elements should not be accidental, because the proper configuration determines not only the comfort of use, but also the life of the entire system, operating costs and energy efficiency. Below are the most important rules to remember at the stage of planning and modernizing the installation:
- Adjust the boiler capacity to the needs of your household – most often 120l boilers they work well in small houses or apartments, however 300l boilers are recommended where hot water is used by a larger number of people or there are many draw-off points. It is also worth taking into account the future expansion of the system or the installation of additional devices, such as a dishwasher or a hot tub, which increase the demand for hot water.
- Select the heat buffer according to the power of the heating source and the characteristics of the installation – heat buffers 1000l they are ideal for cooperation with heat pumps, solid fuel boilers or solar installations. Their task is to store excess energy and ensure stable operation of the system. A well-selected buffer limits frequent activation of the heat source, which extends its life and reduces operating costs. Also remember to choose the right one circulation pump, which will ensure even flow of the heating medium throughout the entire system.
- Make sure you have a complete hydrophore set adapted to your working conditions – hydrophores 50l they are compact and sufficient for most home water installations, however, in larger facilities or when there is greater demand, it is worth considering larger solutions. The hydrophore should be selected not only in terms of the tank volume, but also the efficiency of the centrifugal pump, the pressure range of the controller (pressure switch) and the quality of security measures. A complete pressure booster set ensures stable pressure in the installation, protects the pump against frequent switching on and increases the comfort of water use.
- Choose high-quality equipment and automation – elements such as valves, central heating heat exchangers, temperature sensors and electronic controllers have a huge impact on the efficiency and durability of the entire system. Products on offer Dambat, including brand solutions IBO i IPRO, allow you to precisely control the operating parameters of the installation and integrate it with modern energy sources.
