6 Most Famous Korean Gas Boiler Manufacturers: How to Choose Reliable Equipment?

Korean gas boilers in their own way quality correspond to Italian and French brands. At the same time, consumers are also bribed moderate prices.

Several well-known companies are engaged in the production of heating systems for the population in South Korea. These are the concerns Daewoo (Daewoo), Kiturami World ("Kiturami"), Koreastar (Korea Star), Navien ("Navien"), Olympia (Olympia), Rinnai ("Rinnai").

Advantages of gas boilers from South Korea

Gas boilers made in Korea, are gaining popularity among Russian homeowners. The devices are distinguished by their budget cost, durability and ability to adapt to difficult operating conditions.

Except the main advantage is a moderate price, gas boilers from South Korea have the following advantages:

• The boilers operate without any problems even with pressure drops gas in the network.
• The units have high efficiency values (fuel burns completely).
• Presented wide range of models (wall-mounted and floor-standing, double-circuit and with coaxial chimney).
• Boilers look modern, occupy small volume indoors.

From useful functions Consumers note:

• Built-in fusesThis ensures good safety in critical situations and in case of malfunctions of gas equipment.
• The boilers are working on two types of fuel: natural and liquefied gas (nozzles are included with the equipment).
• Possibility of using not only for heating, but also organize hot water supply in the house (hot water supply).
• Comfortable displays, the ability to select operating modes, set the desired temperature.

Flaws

Korean marketers are making a lot of efforts to conquer the Russian market, so to quality gas boilers there are practically no complaints.

Problems may arise with warranty service and repair models. There are few service centers and stores selling components in Russia. Therefore, there is only one piece of advice for buyers: when going to a store, find the addresses of service centers nearby and ask the seller about the warranty conditions.

Review of popular brands

The company is engaged in the production of gas heating equipment a large number of Korean firmsThe following brands are aimed at the Russian consumer.

Kiturami World

KITURAMI products are known more than 50 years. The concern produces condensation only gas boilers. The design of the units allows the conversion of waste steam into condensate in a special heat exchanger.

In conventional models, unprocessed steam pollutes the atmosphere. Therefore, Efficiency some boilers from Kiturami are not even 100%, but 108-109%.

The second important advantage of Kiturami World gas appliances is their economy (15 to 20% less fuel consumption). The design of high-tech burners ensures mixing of the gas-air mixture in optimal proportions (with constant control of the "gas-air" ratio). Therefore, the possibility of incomplete combustion of fuel is excluded.

Wall-mounted gas dual-circuit structures Kiturami Eco Condensing look beautiful, on the front panel there is a logo "Eco-friendly", which translates as environmentally friendly. Power is selected according to consumer needs, the model range includes options from 18 to 35 kW.

Koreastar

The manufacturer Koreastar ("Korean Star") is tightly cooperates with the European company Wilo (Vilo). Gas boilers from KOREASTAR are supplied with circulation pumps Wilo brand with a wet rotor, which guarantees silent operation equipment.

The most popular is considered a series of class products Koreastar Premium. These are standard designs that combine closed chamber combustion, two heat exchangers and a pump into one system.

Gas boilers are fully adapted to Russian realities and heat areas up to 250 m².

Gas double-circuit structures (pipe in pipe) include: model Koreastar ACE. The combustion chamber is equipped inflatable modulating burner. The copper heat exchanger with an anti-corrosion layer is resistant to temperature changes. Among the useful options, manufacturers offer anti-freeze system, anti-blocking pump, protection against water hammer.

Rinnai

Gas equipment models under the Rinnai brand are distinguished by functionality, reliability, original design, simple and clear control system. In case of power failures or low gas pressure, the sensors receive a warning, automatically switching the system to an economical mode. This way, it is possible to avoid malfunctions.

In total, the catalogues contain four series equipment:

• EMF — economical wall-mounted gas boilers. Easily mounted in the heating and hot water supply system. The design includes a modulating burner with a fan and an automatic gas supply function proportional to the pressure. Save up to 20% fuel, Efficiency boilers - 96%. The line includes models with power from 11.6 to 42 kW.
• RMF — a more modern version of wall-mounted gas double-circuit boilers. Functionality at the models expanded, they make less noise. The control panel has a color display, and a voice control mode has been added for advanced users. To achieve the optimal water temperature, a control unit is installed that periodically heats the water. Therefore, hot water flows into the taps instantly.

• GMF - gas boilers with coaxial chimney. They work on liquefied or main gas (when replacing the injectors). A useful option is three-level automation unit. Users note the convenience of the fact that the error code is displayed on the screen in numeric and text modes. The manufacturer draws attention to the fact that adjusting the fan operation protects boilers from a lack of air for purging.
• SMF — gas boilers for industrial and public buildings. Capable heat areas up to 400 m². Equipped two heat exchangers: copper and stainless steel. Turbocharged burner. The boilers are environmentally friendly, a minimum of toxic substances are emitted into the atmosphere, which is proven by the absence of soot and scale. Power models in the lineup starts from 18 kW and ends 42 kW.

Daewoo

All wall-mounted gas boilers "Daewoo" belong to dual-circuit models. They are distinguished by:

• a large number of levels of protection;
• the ability to select the operating mode;
• compact dimensions;
• budget price.

Gas boilers from the Daewoo Gasboiler line conveniently labeled. The number next to the model abbreviation means the size of the heated area (For example, DGB-90).

Olympia

Olympia Company produces boiler equipment on the Russian market since 1995.

The developers' priorities are considered to be maximum automation combustion processes and reducing possible malfunctions to a minimum. High-quality conveyor assembly and a gas burner, which is the company's know-how, help achieve these goals.

All double-circuit boilers from the Olympia OLB line are made in the floor versionIf necessary, a unit that allows control and control the system remotely.

Another nice option is automatic ignition flame. Infrared sensors monitor the presence of flame. When it goes out, a command is sent to stop the fuel supply. Then the fire is automatically ignited.

Navien

Navien offers Russian buyers two rulers double-circuit gas boilers: turbocharged (with forced draft) and atmosphericAll models are conveniently marked.

The number indicates the power boiler, the letter next to it carries additional information:

• A - atmospheric;
• E — "Euro", European chimney;
• K - Korean version of the chimney;
• Turbo - turbocharged;
• Coaxial - coaxial.

The designers took care of consumers living in these conditions unstable voltage. These boilers are often installed in cottage villages and dacha cooperatives, where there are problems with gas and water pressure, and voltage fluctuates in the electrical networks. The company produces all design elements at its own factories, which provides an additional guarantee of product quality.

Multifunctionality of Korean boilers

Besides the low price, advantages at boiler equipment from South Korea quite a few. The devices are reliable and safe to operate. Most models, even in the basic configuration, are equipped with special protection sensors And remote control capabilities. Installation of gas equipment should be entrusted to licensed specialists. They will install the heating and hot water supply system according to standards, after which it will be easy to control the operation of the boiler.

When choosing a manufacturer and model, There are five important parameters to consider:

• declared power — the calculations include the heated area and a number of additional factors: ceiling height, climatic conditions, hot water heating;
• installation location — floor or wall-mounted design;
• method of movement of the coolant — model with or without a circulation pump;
• number of contours in the boiler;
• material heat exchanger - cast iron, steel, silumin, stainless steel, copper.
