The Olympia brand produces household and industrial heating boilers not only for gas, but also for diesel type - for heating individual rooms and entire buildings. The main fuel used by heating equipment, presented on the official website of Olympia boilers, is liquefied gas and diesel fuel (diesel). The device of South Korean boilers has a domestic hot water and heating circuit made of reliable material - stainless steel or copper.
The history of the Olympia brand
The Olympia concern is a native of South Korea, and it launched its product on the market back in the 60s of the 20th century. But Russian buyers were able to evaluate the quality of products only in the mid-nineties - from that time on, Olympia began to actively develop the market for heating appliances in the Russian Federation.
The main distinguishing feature of Olympia products is the maximum automation of combustion processes and the minimum of malfunctions during operation of the device. It is possible to achieve such indicators thanks to the high quality of the robotic assembly, which eliminates the human factor completely. Also, a gas burner for boilers, which was specially invented by the company, affects the operation of the equipment. The burners proved to be so good at work that a number of boiler manufacturers decided to equip their devices with them.
Liquid fuel boilers
Before proceeding to the review of Olympia gas boilers, we describe the advantages and features of floor-mounted oil-fired options. The purpose of such equipment extends to the following objects:
- Private houses (for the organization of autonomous heating).
- Public buildings.
- Objects of industry.
The features of Olympia dual-circuit diesel boilers include their parameters and characteristics:
- DHW circuit - for DHW performance, an indirect heating boiler is provided. When the tap is open, cold water is poured into the container, after which it is heated and supplied for the needs of the consumer. Moreover, the receipt of hot water occurs instantly.
- Versatility. Liquid fuel boilers from the Korean brand in diesel fuel can be easily converted to liquefied gas, which is why we decided to consider them as part of this review. To transfer, you just need to rearrange the burner. Due to the fact that the company produces devices designed for various fuels, the user can easily select a node that can be combined with a specific model.
- Diesel pump In Olympia boilers, when turned on, the device itself selects the necessary pressure in the fuel supply system, focusing on the density of diesel fuel.
The controller immediately provides factory settings, which greatly facilitate the use of equipment. Presets allow you to start the boilers immediately after installation and connection to the heating system.
Gas options
Olympia OLB double-circuit gas boilers are another popular product from a manufacturer from South Korea. As in diesel counterparts, special attention is paid to the burner - reliability and efficiency are guaranteed due to a special "pistol" design. Fully equipped with protective and regulating valves allows you to easily connect the boiler and easily maintain the system. Moreover, the built-in burner does not need to be regulated during installation - all settings are provided from the factory.
When choosing a suitable model, look at the diameter of the inlet gas pipeline. So, in different models it can be ½, ¾ or 1. Gas cylinders can also be used; refueling of a fuel tank of impressive volumes is not prohibited. For reasons of convenience, it is worth using a gas holder, the capacity of which is enough for the entire heating season.
Also Olympia OLB boilers have security group and particularly sensitive automation, which allows the equipment to work even in low gas pressure conditions. Power is regulated by the control unit. Also, as an add-on, you can order a device that allows remotely control the station. The system provides auto ignition of flame. AND IR sensors make sure that the fire always burns. If the flame suddenly goes out, the system will indicate a fuel cutoff, after which ignition transformer set fire to fire again.
The heat exchanger is very easy to clean - for this purpose, a removable panel is provided in the rear of the housing.
Comparison: which boiler to choose - gas or diesel?
Choosing the type of boiler, please note that any model within the specified brand can be easily converted to an alternative type of fuel. But when choosing a suitable model and the main type of raw material, you should rely on such points:
- Safety. To install a diesel appliance, permission is not required. And the option working with natural gas requires registration and design of the project - otherwise, the boiler will not be put into operation. Such stringent requirements are associated with greater gas insecurity compared to diesel fuel.
- Fuel prices. Today, natural gas has no alternative in terms of cost. Gas is much cheaper than diesel - about a third.
- Service. The cycle of operation of gas (gas equipment) is almost unlimited in time, especially if a connection to the main is organized. And in order to provide the device with a diesel engine, you need to find a place under a large-capacity tank, and the tank should be in a well-heated room.
- Installation price. It is important that the device is installed exclusively by a specialist - it is not possible to independently connect it. And the money spent on obtaining permits plus for the installation of civil defense will result in an amount that may exceed the cost of the apparatus itself. If the check finds at least one slightest violation, for example, an inappropriate diameter of the chimney, or ventilation is rejected, then you will be denied commissioning. Installing a diesel fuel station will be cheaper.
Which fuel is best?
Gas is the most profitable source of heat, and this option is most often used. But for the purchase of a diesel unit, users living in the area without gasification or owners of private households decide. By the way, the minimum service life of such a boiler (in diesel fuel) is 10 years.
