Requirements to the boiler in a private house

Boiler room in a private home is a room with heating equipment, providing job hot water and heating systems.

Boiler is needed in the absence of central heating.

However, the boiler unit can not be called simple, because to the room must meet certain requirements that must be followed.

requirements depend on the type of boiler, as well as its location.

Therefore, you must first perform a design project should contain all the details of the device, and the standards applicable to the premises.

Common standards

The boiler can be placed in many places:

• in the attic;
• in a separate building;
• offline module - a mini boiler room, located in the container;
• directly in the house;
• in the annexe.

When planning housing the best option will be the location of the boiler in the attic or in the basement.

However, if the house is already built, it is better to choose an annex or separate building.

common option is the mini boiler room, where all the equipment is placed in a container.The small size allows you to install it anywhere.

In the photo you can see a mini boiler.

Yet there are mobile boiler rooms, are ready turnkey mini building.The walls are made of sandwich panels with non-combustible finishing materials.

device boiler depends on the type of boiler installed, which can be a gas, solid fuel and electric.

Accordingly, the choice depends on the type room heating equipment.

However, not enough to choose the type of heating and choose a suitable property, we must also draw up a draft.The project must contain the equipment layout and display all regulations.

For clarity, a diagram boiler unit.

Also, the project should be agreed with the special government agencies, mostly it concerns the gas equipment.

sure to comply with the general requirements for all types of boilers:

• in a boiler plant is allowed no more than two boilers;
• walls made of non-combustible material such as brick or concrete;
• floor have to do with concrete or steel sheet cover and oblitsevat tiles;
• prohibited the use of any combustible materials;
• only installed fire door;
• door to the boiler room and the adjacent room must open outwards;
• in the attached building, a door should go into the house, and the other door - to the street;
• to the boiler equipment must be provided with easy access;
• extractor should provide triple air exchange per hour;
• sure to set the window to be a window.

Standards for different types of boilers

There are other requirements to be placed, depending on the type of boiler installed.

All this is written in the SNIP and requires urgent attention and strictly observe all regulations.What kind of requirements for each boiler will be discussed below.

requirements for gas boiler

SNIP Standards permit the installation of the boiler up to 30 kW, not in a separate room, and, for example, in the kitchen.

room dimensions must meet the following standards: minimum height - 2.5 m, the minimum area - 6 sq.m, the minimum amount - 15 cubic meters

on room size influences the boiler output, due to the release of combustion products.Be sure to set the window size is also dependent on the capacity of the boiler.

minimum area that should have a window of 0.5 sq.m.Fits the door with a minimum width of 0.8 m.

mandatory element is the hood.Therefore, the bottom walls or doors need to make holes for the air flow.

for powerful equipment over 30 kW in accordance with SNIP require a separate room, which can be both in the house and in a separate building.

If the installation is carried out in, be sure to consider the following conditions:

1. should be a separate exit from the boiler room to the street;
2. plenty of natural light;
3. quality range hood;
4. wall adjacent rooms must be fire-resistant.

course, powerful equipment is necessary to give preference to a stand alone from home room, for example, a mini boiler.

device of this option is safer, less noisy, and save the living space of the house.

to separate small boiler can be used stand-alone module or build a small boiler with his hands.

A separate room should meet the following requirements SNIP:

• boiler foundation and the foundation of a private house should not be connected;
• a gas boiler requires a separate base;
• walls and roof are made of non-combustible materials;
• boiler must be placed on a podium height of 20 cm;
• flue pipe is mounted on a separate foundation.

gas boiler placement An example is shown in the photo.

Requirements for solid fuel boiler

This system does not apply to an explosive, so SNIP standards are low.Install the equipment can be in the basement.Room Dimensions are similar to the standards for the gas boiler.

on the floor in front of the furnace should be based on a steel sheet, and the remaining floor space is to be lined with fire-resistant concrete or flooring.

sure to set the window size is determined as follows: 0.8 sq.m per 1 kW boiler output.

Chimney diameter must match the diameter of the pipe to the boiler.

Chimney recommended plaster or insert the asbestos-cement pipes, as well as to make it a special opening for cleaning.Minimum floor space - 8 sq.m.

Hood is required, the amount is calculated as follows: 8 sq.See drawing area for 1 kW boiler output, and if the equipment is located in the basement, then the rate of 24 square meters.cm by 1 kW.

prerequisite for solid-SNIP system is the presence of fire extinguishers:. Extinguisher and other fire safety system is shown in the photo.

should be noted that a small boiler room of a private house the same requirements.

to electroboiler

Requirements The safest option is considered to be the installation of electrical heating.Separate accommodation for the boiler in this case is not required.

not needed and ventilation as the electric boiler does not emit combustion products.Therefore, the individual boilers are not needed, the electric boiler can stand anywhere.

However, there are drawbacks - the dependence on electricity and the need for high capacity networks.

Installation work

the whole installation of the equipment is the same for all types of heating systems.

Therefore, we consider the example of mounting the most common and at the same time the most difficult to install their own hands and the operation of the gas boiler.

mounting heating circuit is shown below.

Gas boilers are of two types: wall and floor.

Wall model

Installation performed at the room temperature from +5 to +35 degrees Celsius, and humidity - not more than 80%.

Installation begins with the walls, which are necessary to cover the heat-resistant material, 2 mm thick.

Since ventilation in the boiler room of a private house is important, the air vents should be done at the initial stage of installation.

To do this at the bottom of the wall at a height of 30 cm from the floor to punch holes with a diameter of 15 cm with access to the street, and is inserted into a plastic tube.Inside the pipe is installed check valve.

Likewise done exhaust port.Ventilation scheme shown in Fig.

especially need ventilation, if the window and the door sealed.

Now you can make the installation of the equipment itself.First bracket attached to the wall of the boiler, which is usually included in the equipment.

Minimum boiler arrangement height is 80 cm from the floor.The bracket should be attached parallel to the floor.

when working with your hands, you can check out this building level.

After fixing the boiler, at the highest point of the system you want to install an expansion tank and air valve.

To prevent clogging of the heat exchanger on the water supply pipe must be installed corner strainer.On both sides of the filter, as well as tubes, it is desirable to set the ball valves.

In the future this will change the filter without draining the system.Then you need to make a connection to the chimney.

Now we have to connect the pipes to the corresponding pipes of the boiler, after removing the plug from the manufacturer.water inflow pipe connects the top and return pipe - the bottom.

better connect gas welding.When installing your own hands may be heating pipes slope less than 5 mm per 1 m pipe.Wiring pipes is shown in the photo.

next step is tying.The boiler must be connected to the three systems: gas, hydraulic, electrical.

Connecting equipment to the pipeline is better to do not with their hands, and with the help of a certified professional.

Electrical harness and gidroobvyazka can be made with your own hands.gidroobvyazki scheme allows you to see the connection clearly.

strapping shall be subject to the following conditions:

1. hot gases and water in the heat exchanger should move counter, otherwise it may explode.After completing gidroobvyazki, all connections should be thoroughly inspected and it is desirable to repeat the examination, some time later;
2. If the heating system was anti-freeze, it must be drained and rinsed the equipment several times to avoid the explosion.

Before installing the boiler must be installed:

• valve / gas valve;
• counter;
• alarm gassed;
• termozaporny valve.

electrical system must be equipped with an automatic, which will prevent the circuit and overheating.
Before the first use, the equipment should be filled with water to check for leaks.

But first you need to disconnect the boiler from the mains and open the built-in valve located at the bottom of the boiler.

floor model

Outdoor boilers are much more powerful attachments, so often placed in a separate room.

For outdoor equipment floor must be smooth and durable for a uniform load on all legs.Better if it will cement.

After installing the boiler with a boiler, the equipment you need to bring to the chimney, and then to the house heating system with the installation of the filter, which protects against clogging.

When connected to a water supply, the sidebar in the water must be placed as close as possible to the entrance of the pipe in the house.

Video:

This will ensure uninterrupted supply of water and high water pressure in the system.Next, the rail equipment.

Thus, to install heating equipment in a private home can be their own hands, and compliance with all rules and regulations on the device of the boiler room, as well as installation of the equipment and to ensure the continued safe operation of the system.
