Instructions for connecting a diesel boiler with kitura. Kiturami diesel boilers review
Despite the development alternative energy, humanity is still actively using its usual energy sources, in particular, gas. The South Korean manufacturer has been producing heating boilers for several decades and is rightfully ranked among the world leaders in this area. It makes sense to dwell in more detail on the products of this manufacturer.
About Kiturami products
The company was founded in 1962 and over the years has perfected the skills in the production of heating boilers. During this time, the company's products have won trust in the markets of Russia, Japan, European countries and the rest of the world.
The main activity of the manufacturer is the production of heating boilers, chimneys and other elements necessary for the installation of a heating system.
You can highlight such types of products as:
- boilers, moreover, models are produced that work both on gas, and on liquid or solid fuels. Solid fuel boilers Kiturami can work on either ordinary firewood, or on wood pellets (pellets) and are characterized by high efficiency;
Note!
Boilers are produced in two-circuit, so that they can be used not only for heating, but also for the needs of hot water supply.
- fuel tanks;
- fuel pumps;
- expansion tanks;
- chimneys etc.
Heating boilers overview
Considering the cheapness of gas for the population in our country, the Kiturami gas heating boilers are especially popular. Such devices are characterized by compact size, high power, ease of maintenance and installation. You can select several series heating devices- 3 series marked World (Plus, 3000 and 5000), as well as Twin Alpha.
Features of boilers of the World 3000 and 5000 series
Particular attention to the issue of heating efficiency - common feature all Kiturami heating devices, not only gas ones (efficiency exceeds 90%).
As for the World series, we can distinguish such features of their work as:
- several operating modes - for the convenience of adjustment, the modes are designated as "Absence", "Shower", etc .;
- advanced safety unit - gas analyzers instantly "feel" a gas leak and turn off the device;
- turbocharging guarantees stable draft, combustion products are instantly drawn into the chimney;
- power is enough to heat a large area;
- with a step of literally 1 ᵒС, you can adjust the temperature hot water;
- the automation constantly monitors the state of the main components of the heating circuit. For example, if there is a power outage, the boiler will turn off, because circulation pump will stop working, and the circulation of the coolant will be at risk.
- the self-diagnosis function looks curious. In the event of a malfunction, a person can determine the malfunction by himself using the lit number (of course, with the help of technical documentation).
The only fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey can be considered a little unusual boiler device. In particular, in the World series, a person unaccustomed to Kiturami products may be confused by the location of the air intake and combustion products. When replacing the chimney with your own hands, this can become a small problem, but this drawback cannot be considered critical.
Science Triumph - Twin Alpha Series
Devices in this series are considered the most modern and technologically advanced.
Among the features of Twin Alpha boilers, it is worth noting:
- extremely economical, when switching to standby mode, they consume about 1 W of energy;
- the heat exchanger is made not of steel, but of pure copper and aluminum, the thermal conductivity of these metals is higher than that of steel.
The series includes 5 models, differing in power and dimensions. So, heating boilers Kiturami Alpha 13R at their peak can produce a power of about 15.1 kW, which will be enough to heat a living area of 150 m2, while in hot water supply mode, water can be supplied at a rate of 8.6 l / min. The weight of this model is 26 kg.
The most powerful model Alpha 30R produces up to 34.8 kW and is capable of heating a house with an area of 340 m2; in hot water supply mode, water is supplied at a rate of 20 l / min.
Note!
Despite the much higher power, the sizes and weights of the boilers do not differ much.
So, the mentioned boiler models differ only in width (more powerful by 5 cm wider) and weight (the Alpha 30R model weighs 3 kg more).
So there will be no problems with the installation.
As for the cost, the Twin Alpha series is on average 10-12 thousand rubles cheaper than World3000.
For example, the Alpha 20R model costs about 30 thousand rubles, and the price of a device of the World3000 series comparable in power is about 42 thousand rubles.
Installation features
- the weight wall model is 30 - 45 kg, therefore it is not recommended to place it on light partitions, the best option for installation, a load-bearing wall can be considered;
- it is recommended to use a rubber pad to reduce noise from possible vibration;
- it is desirable that the installation site is not waterlogged.
Particular attention should be paid to the installation of the chimney, for the removal of combustion products is used coaxial chimney... To facilitate the work, the use of telescopic chimneys is allowed.
The pipe installation instructions look like this:
- when connecting individual elements a sealing tape is necessarily used, and the tightness of the joint is achieved by tightening the connecting bolts;
- in the event of a pipe being pulled out of the wall, the manufacturer recommends limiting maximum length within 2.5 m;
Note!
The pipe is sloped 3-5ᵒ in order to ensure the drainage of condensate.
- as for the device of the pipe through the roof, it is necessary that a free descent to the pipe is provided along the entire length of the pipe;
- horizontal pipe section in the section from the boiler outlet to vertical section should not exceed 90 cm, otherwise the traction may deteriorate.
Summarizing
Heating boilers are popular not only in country houses, but also within the city limits, because heating system gives a lot of advantages over the centralized one. Kiturami boilers can be attributed to one of the most high-tech offers on the market, high efficiency, durability, the possibility of flexible regulation of work only contribute to the growth of the popularity of the products of this manufacturer.
The video shows the principle of operation in detail. gas boiler Kiturami.
Even at the design stage of heating in a house, you have to operate with generalized technical characteristics of the boiler, but in the end you still need to go to the store and choose a very specific model from the huge assortment on the market.
It will be useful to find out in more detail what a Kiturami diesel boiler is, what models are in the line, and how they can be better than other offers on the market.
Features of Kiturami boilers
Kiturami is a South Korean company with more than half a century of experience in the design and manufacture of heating boilers and related equipment.
During this time, the company has become one of the leaders in the domestic Korean market, and also found an extensive sales market in North America and the neighboring countries of Asia. In our country, Kiturami boilers have been officially distributed for at least ten years and have already shown themselves on the good side.
The main emphasis in the promotion of boilers is made on the introduction of innovative technologies and, in particular, our own developments, which have no analogues in other manufacturers or determine the narrow specifics of the equipment operation.
Diesel boilers, by definition, are not considered mainstream the lineup for a wide range of applications. In terms of economic feasibility they are inferior to gas, electric and even solid-state boilers. However, they are still in demand among consumers in view of a number of reasons why liquid fuels are becoming preferable.
In remote areas of residence, where there is no stable connection to power grids, no gasification, the issue of fuel availability is acute. At the same time, the heating of the house should, by definition, work without interruption throughout the season. If for many countries such situations are rather an exception to the rule, then for us, on the contrary, it is commonplace, the cause of which is the vast expanses separating the settlements.
Diesel fuel, unlike gas, is easier to transport and easier to store with minimal risks to life and environment... Unlike solid fuel boilers, diesel fuel during combustion gives uniform heating and greater degree control over the waste of resources. And finally, the design of the diesel boiler and, in particular, the burner does not restrict the use of other heat sources.
With minimal changes, the diesel burner can be replaced for the use of blue fuel, and boilers equipped with an extensive combustion chamber and grate, can quickly switch to using coal, wood or pellets.
Diesel boilers Kiturami differ high degree processability and are ideally balanced equipment for the use of diesel fuel as a heat source, and at the same time they are excellent for the listed types of conversions for operation on gas or solid fuel. Thus, constructive and functional flexibility is the first significant advantage.
Kiturami boilers often use their own designs and a unique layout. On the one hand, this reduces maintainability. heating equipment, but on the other hand, it provides the highest boiler efficiency and balanced operation, while observing simple and transparent operating rules. This is the second significant reason to pay attention to diesel boilers originally from South Korea.
The final advantage is the cost of boiler equipment. Even taking into account the high performance and proven quality of the boilers, their cost does not exceed the market average among similar offers.
So it turns out that Kiturami boilers have three features: balanced design, high efficiency and affordable price.
Boiler device Kiturami Specifications
The operational characteristics, dimensions and parameters of the Turbo series boilers are presented in the table below. It is clearly seen that the series of floor-standing diesel boilers covers a power range from 10 to 35 kW, which is quite enough for heating houses up to 250-275 square meters. Part of the heat will be spent on preparing hot water, which must be taken into account in the calculations.
All Kuturami boilers are double-circuit and heat exchangers, by the way, are ideally designed specifically for these tasks.

Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption is indicated in the table with technical requirements... However, remember that the actual flow rate depends on the individual settings. For the actual power required to heat the house, an appropriate nozzle is selected from the set proposed by the manufacturer.
The thermal power, fuel consumption and fuel combustion mode are set. The parameter indicated in the table displays the factory presets sufficient to ensure proper performance, provided only high-quality fuel is used, more often it means diesel fuel already with winter additives that do not allow it to thicken or stand out paraffin in excess of the norm.
In a real situation, for a boiler model with a capacity of up to 15 kW, you can expect fuel consumption at the level of 8 liters per day taking into account the frequency of operation of the burner and the optimal temperature regime in the house. However, this is not the limit.
The correct approach to the choice of heating mode, as well as the installation of a controller with variable temperature regime, for example, depending on the time of day and day of the week, can reduce consumption even more.
Chimney
Kuturami boilers, gas, diesel, floor-standing or wall-mounted, are mostly equipped with closed chamber combustion and, accordingly, compulsory system exhaust gas removal. The Turbo series, which we are in this moment we are considering.
Chimney installation diagram The chimney for boilers is used coaxial for simultaneous supply fresh air from the street and discharge of exhaust gases. Since the exhaust temperature after passing through the heat exchangers is no longer high, the requirements for the thermal resistance of the chimney are reduced, and the list of acceptable materials is expanded.
V best case a steel coaxial chimney is still used, however, a ceramic vertical chimney with a group of internal separate channels for supplying air, removing gases from the combustion chamber and ventilation of the boiler room can be effectively used in the same capacity.
The chimney size is strictly specified in the boiler specification and operating instructions. For the entire Turbo series, this is 80 mm.
It is possible, if desired, to make a chimney with a slightly larger diameter, but not more than 50% above the specified value, that is, up to 120 mm.
In no case should you reduce the size and section. Even though the removal of combustion products is forced, the resistance of the chimney will greatly affect the combustion mode and the quality of fuel combustion.
turbo 13r
The model number of the boiler corresponds to the amount of heat generated per hour - 13000 kcal / hour. In terms of the usual kilowatts, the value is 15.1 kW.
The declared capacity is sufficient to heat a house with an area of up to 150 m2. Naturally, one should take into account the heat consumption for the preparation of hot water supply. If a significant consumption of hot water is predicted, moreover, regularly, then the heat output for the heating circuit will naturally be lower.
Reliability and balanced operation in combination with the affordable cost of the boiler gives a clear advantage in the case of using several boilers at the same time in one building, for example, when dividing the heating circuit for each floor separately or when covering a large area in two more wings, directions.
turbo 17
Kiturami turbo boiler Thermal power already reaches 19.8 kW, which is enough to cover the heating of a house with an area of up to 180 m2. It is possible to reasonably increase the upper performance threshold by selecting the appropriate nozzle on the burner, however, this will affect fuel consumption.
This approach allows you to solve the problem with increased DHW consumption so that without extra costs do not hesitate to use hot water even in the most severe frosts.
turbo 21r
With a further increase in power, there is a model with a declared capacity of 24.4 kW, along with this, the productivity of the DHW circuit significantly increases. It should be noted that the dimensions of the boiler do not change in comparison with the younger models.
turbo 30 r
The most powerful model in the Kiturami range of oil boilers. Productivity at the level of 34.9 kW makes it possible to heat a room with an area of up to 350 m2, but at the same time the cost of the boiler in retail is approximately 45-46 thousand rubles., which is undoubtedly an attractive option.
As in the entire range of boilers, burners are used with a unique torch shape and optimal mode combustion of fuel.
The minimum amount of nitrogen oxides is registered in the exhaust, which indicates the high environmental friendliness of the equipment.
Customization
It is better to entrust the initial start-up and adjustment of Kiturami boilers to a specialist who can correctly determine the optimal operating mode, select required type injectors and adjust the fuel consumption depending on its characteristics and even the method of connection and location of the fuel tank.
Diesel boiler nozzle For self installation complete with the boiler, detailed instructions are attached, according to which it is possible to determine the operating mode closest to the design value.
The main thing is to adhere to the sequence of actions defined in the technical documentation and a visual aid for putting the equipment into operation.
It is necessary to adjust and adjust the boiler settings not only at the first start, but also during maintenance before each new season and to switch to summer mode, in which only the DHW circuit will be used.
Malfunctions
Kuturami boiler equipment is equipped with a complete self-diagnosis system based on the operation of a number of sensors. The controller is able to assess the condition of the equipment as well as the current mode of operation and respond to any deviations or problems that arise during operation.
In any emergency situation, the main action assigned to the boiler controller is to shutdown the burner to prevent significant consequences.
A well-developed self-diagnosis algorithm allows you to identify the problem and indicate the error code on the display so that the user can take everything as quickly as possible necessary actions for the repair and restoration of working capacity.
In list frequent breakdowns diesel boilers Kiturami:
- No ignition (error code 01);
- Does not start, there are no messages on the display .;
- Coolant leakage (depressurization of the heat exchanger or one of the pipeline connections);
- The flame is periodically extinguished with an emergency stop of the boiler;
- There is no draft, the operation of the boiler is accompanied by the ingress of smoke and exhaust into the room.
Error 01 and solution
If error code 01 appears on the boiler display screen, it means that the fuel for some reason did not ignite, there is no flame, the controller forcibly stops the fuel supply, issues an error message, signals a problem to the user.
Solving the problem requires an accurate implementation of the order of actions that can identify the source of the problem and eliminate the obstacle in the boiler as efficiently as possible.
V short form the procedure looks like this:
Quite often, the fuel-air mixture is supplied under too much pressure into the chamber and therefore does not have time to ignite from the electrode. The problem is solved even at the 5th step of the algorithm by adjusting the air damper, which is why a mixture with a changed concentration enters the chamber.
Doesn't start
The most unpleasant situation is when the boiler simply does not turn on. There are no signals on the display, and accordingly there is no error code by which the malfunction could be determined.
In such a situation, it would be adequate to call a specialist service center, who will be able to understand the situation and issue the correct verdict, as well as determine the repair procedure. On your own, you can only check the presence of voltage in the network, as well as the fuses in the boiler.
Leakage
Most often, a leak means that the gasket seal has been damaged at some pipe connection inside the boiler. It is enough to inspect the equipment and determine the place of leakage, replace the gasket.
The heat exchanger in Kiturami boilers is made of alloy steel and copper, so that there are no obvious errors in the selection of the coolant or mechanical damage does not leak.
The burner goes out periodically
Most common reason is a malfunction in the burner setting. It is important to adjust its power and use a gas analyzer to determine the optimal air / fuel ratio for proper combustion. Such work cannot be performed on your own, so it is better to contact the service center. 
No draft, smoke and exhaust enters the room
Most likely the burner fan is not working for some reason. It is important first of all to check that the impeller is intact and rotates normally.
It is possible that debris has accumulated inside the fan, or the impeller shaft is jammed. Next, the electrical part and the control unit are checked.
Kiturami boiler piping is a set of measures related to connecting boiler equipment to power supply, water supply, heating systems, fuel pipelines and smoke exhaust systems. It is advisable to connect the boiler with the help of qualified specialists and in accordance with the instructions specified in the quality passport.
Electrical connection
Boiler equipment operates when powered in a 220V network. When connecting the boiler to the power supply system, the following recommendations must be observed:
1 - to prevent accidents, electric shock or short circuit caused by electrical leakage in the boiler, grounding is required. The grounding point must be at least 300 mm deep.
2 - it is necessary to have a separate socket, brought out specially for connecting the boiler. This socket must be installed at a distance of at least 300 mm from the boiler equipment.
3 - it is desirable to include a stabilizing device in the power supply system.
Figure 1 depicted standard system connection to the mains.
Connection to heating systems, water supply and fuel lines
1 - when connected to a heating system, it is necessary to install shut-off valves, filters and additional expansion tanks, which will compensate for the expansion of the coolant.
2 - when connected to a hot water supply system, it is also necessary to install shut-off valves, filters and expansion tanks. When using low-quality water, it is recommended to install a water treatment system, which will increase the service life of the boiler and provide reliable performance mixing devices.
3 - when connecting to a pipeline, in addition to installing filters and shut-off valves, it is recommended to install pressure reducers designed to protect the boiler from excessive pressure in the main pipeline. In case of low pressure in the main pipeline, it is recommended to install pressure boosting stations.
4 - when connecting to a fuel line, installation of additional filters and shut-off valves is mandatory.
Figure 2 depicts the standard piping system (downward piping) for the Kiturami Turbo boiler.
Installation of a smoke exhaust system.
When piping the boiler with a smoke exhaust system, it is necessary to install ventilation pipes with the required angle of inclination from the boiler in order to prevent the ingress of condensate into the combustion chamber, fan and smoke exhauster, which can lead to breakdown of these elements.
Figure No. 3 a standard chimney installation diagram is shown
1 - installation diagram with a chimney
2 - installation diagram in the absence of a chimney.
1 - the chimney must be installed in such a way as to avoid the wind pressure zone in the upper part of the chimney, to protect the chimney from precipitation. Installation of a chimney in a wind pressure zone leads to a decrease in the boiler efficiency and can cause emergency shutdowns.
2 - if there is a tall building within 1 m from the chimney, it is necessary to install the chimney at least 1 m higher than this building. detailed instructions and the requirements for the piping of boilers are given in the operating manuals that are attached to the boiler equipment when it is sold.
Compliance with all the requirements specified in the accompanying documentation will avoid problems during the operation of the boiler, increase its service life and your safety.
Every day, heating equipment manufactured in Korea is gaining more and more attention on the Russian market, offering high quality, operational reliability and reasonable cost. Review of boilers from the Kiturami company, owner reviews and description technical characteristics will help you better understand the types and features of products, as well as make right choice at the time of buying.
The range of heating boilers from the Korean manufacturer Kiturami is grouped according to several characteristics:
- type of installation - wall or floor;
- the type of energy source used - liquid, solid fuel, gas or combined;
- the possibility of hot water supply - single or double-circuit;
- combustion chamber - open or closed.
Description of Kiturami gas, diesel, solid fuel and combination boilers:
1. The Kiturami Turbo Korean liquid fuel heating boilers have a set of characteristics that can fully satisfy the needs of users:
- The turbocyclone burner creates aerodynamic flow, increasing efficiency.
- Turbocharging promotes secondary afterburning of combustion products in a specially installed cylindrical chamber and their forced removal.
- The security system includes sensors for combustion, temperature and overheating control, as well as lack of coolant and fuel.
- This series uses new model chimney Kiturami, the efficiency of which is 2-3% higher than that of a similar class of boilers.
Turbo is one of the most economical boilers on the market, with an average consumption of 8 l / day.
2. Wall-mounted double-circuit gas boilers heating Kiturami (World 3000, World 5000, World Plus and Twin Alpha) are distinguished by affordable cost and reliability. Built-in circulation pump and expansion tank facilitate installation, and the set installed sensors performs security control gas equipment.
Buy a gas boiler World Plus-13R will cost 32 thousand rubles, and the cost of a Twin Alpha of the same capacity will be about 24,000. Structurally, the representative of Kiturami TGB can be called an analogue of Turbo, but designed to work on liquefied gas. Repeated passage of combustion products in a steel three-way heat exchanger reduces noise levels and increases efficiency. The turbocyclone burner of the stationary heat generator of the KSOG series ensures the stable operation of the boiler with pressure drops in the gas main, and also contributes to the secondary combustion of gases. The electronic control unit and the thermostat-regulator maintain the desired indoor climate.
3. Kiturami biofuel heating boilers for a house of the KRP series have the following features:
- The feeding auger automatically doses the wood fuel.
- The complex design of the heat exchanger in the fire and water pipes allows to increase the efficiency up to 92%.
- A circulation pump is integrated in the water tank of the heat generator for maximum heat transfer.
- The multi-stage flue gas outlet avoids flame backfire.
- The automatic grate cleaning system mechanically removes the "cakes" of sintered pellets, which prevents overspending.
- The pellets are ignited by the ceramic heating element of the Japanese company FKK.
The cost of the Kiturami KRP-20 biofuel boiler is about 140,000 rubles.
4. STS presents stationary combined boilers compact size for installation even in small spaces. The design features distinguish this series by its economy and a guarantee of long-term use (10 years):
- Kiturami turbo-cyclone burner and special swirl screen promote complete combustion and reduce emissions carbon monoxide into the environment.
- For the manufacture of the heat exchanger, an improved grade of stainless steel with a patented welding technology is used.
- Advanced autodiagnostics system.
The Kiturami model range includes cast iron boilers (KF series) designed for heating small spaces, the disadvantage of which is the need for periodic monitoring of the furnace and laying firewood. But the price of solid fuel boilers KF is two times lower than the pellet "counterparts" - about 70,000 rubles.

What do you need to know when choosing?
The wide assortment offered by the Korean manufacturer is extensive, which makes it difficult for the average consumer to purchase. Therefore, the selection of heating equipment should be carried out according to the main characteristics of Kiturami:
- Fuel type and economy. The choice of an energy source for the operation of the units depends on the capabilities and desires of consumers.
- Thermal power. A double-circuit thermogenerator must fully provide both space heating and water heating for household needs.
- Installation type. Wall mounted boilers are compact in size, but floor options greater power range.
- Heating system. The selection of a specific model depends on the planned type of heating circuit - open or closed, as well as on the circulation of the coolant - in a natural way or forcibly.
- The material of the heat exchanger affects the life of the boiler, its efficiency and cost.
