The gas boiler Taiga is a product of the Russian company Termotechnik, a worthy alternative to foreign analogues. Differs in a thought-over design and high-quality assembly. The Taiga heaters have Italian-made automation, thanks to which they meet European safety standards.
GC "Thermotechnician" - a Russian company specializing in the production of heating equipment. Year of foundation - 2002. The central office is Pushkino (Moscow region).
What are the taiga boilers
Heaters from Termotechnik differ:
- The number of circuits. The single-circuit option works exclusively for heating buildings. It is chosen by users who either have a centralized hot water supply, or have installed an autonomous device for heating - a column or a boiler. The double-circuit option, in addition to heating, in parallel provides the house with hot water for domestic needs.
- By power. It is selected depending on the heated area. The approximate heating rate is 1,000 watts for every 10 m².
- Fire chamber design: closed or open.
How safe are they
Until a certain time, gas equipment had a serious drawback - a high risk of emergency situations. Today, this issue has been resolved using automation. All processes occurring in the heating system are monitored closely by sensors that respond to the slightest changes in key parameters - temperature and pressure. Traction is also monitored, and multistage emergency protection is applied. There is no danger to users.
Heaters of the Thermotehnik company, assembled from Italian components, are able to heat almost any area, you only need to choose an apparatus of the appropriate capacity.
General characteristics of the Taiga boilers
- Made of 3 mm thick stainless steel sheet.
- The minimum depth is 230 mm.
- The power range of atmospheric versions is 10–100 kW, parapet versions are 5–16 kW.
- The heat carrier at the exit heats up to 110 ° C.
- The maximum water pressure is 0.2 MPa.
Benefits
- Safety - thanks to imported automation.
- Simple design - there is nothing superfluous, which means that the risk of breakdowns is reduced.
- Efficiency more than 90%. Equipment saves energy and money for its users.
- Universal connection - can be done from either side, left or right.
- Fuel economy up to 30% - there is gas modulation automation Eurosit.
- Atmospheric burner type "Thermobar", made of stainless steel and consists of a number of sections. The fuel burns evenly, the heat carrier is effectively heated. The special design of the burner increases the environmental friendliness of the equipment - less toxins in the exhaust gases, makes the device silent and reduces the amount of soot that accumulates in the chimney.
- Compactness. Space saving. Can be placed in cramped spaces. A small mass allows you to do without a foundation.
Floor models
This category is represented by single and double circuit devices designed for heating rooms with a chimney. The line is available in a wide range of capacities, you can choose the option for any area. Models are characterized by high efficiency, Italian automation is installed, which is responsible for the reliability and safety of equipment. The speed of heating hot water during the operation of the second circuit reaches 440 l / h at maximum power. All modifications are combined by an important feature for consumers - affordable prices.

Parapet
In addition to floor models, the manufacturer offers parapet versions for heating smokeless housing. May vary in shape, size and design of the case. Installation is possible anywhere - on the floor or on the wall. The furnace is closed. The burners are different: single, two-level or modulated.
Material of heat exchangers - cast iron, copper, steel. In the "Taiga" they are steel. The removal of gases occurs through a coaxial chimney. Any ignition - piezo or electronic. Uninterrupted and safe operation is provided by sensors and controllers. "Thermotechnician" produces 3 parapet series with a capacity of 7-16 kW:
- "Alaska";
- "Leader";
- "Taiga".
All modifications have an ergonomic and stylish design, high technical specifications. Heat exchangers are treated with anti-corrosion powder coating. The powder contains no toxic or flammable substances.
Features of parapet models
They are used for heating and for heating hot water. Power is 15–45 kW. A parapet heating boiler is a smokeless non-volatile apparatus used primarily for heating households and apartments that do not have traditional chimneys. The main difference of any parapet model is a closed firebox. The latter is isolated, so during operation the air of the room where the equipment is installed is not used.
“Thermotechnician” produces parapet modifications “Taiga Zh7-KS”. They are mounted in buildings without vertical chimneys, including in apartments. To divert the products of combustion, equip a coaxial chimney with forced draft, an electric fan works.

Installation
The instruction details the ignition process. Startup is performed after installation and strapping. Correct installation should be checked by the gas service. Before igniting the boiler, a number of preparatory and installation work should be performed:
- Eliminate the proximity of flammable materials.
- Connect cold water, remove plugs from nozzles. At the entrance, put a filter and a ball valve to protect the system from clogging, which can cause malfunctions.
- Ball valves are mounted on all nozzles involved in the strapping.
- The gas pipes are supplied by gas workers; they carry out the connection and installation of the meter.
- Lay a power line for volatile models. Make a separate outlet.
- Installation work associated with the removal of combustion products is determined by the type of furnace. There are atmospheric or turbocharged models.
- Having disconnected the device from the power supply, they fill the system with coolant. Check for leaks. Before the first ignition, all nodes of the system must be carefully checked.
Strapping scheme
What should the harness provide:
- Fluid pressure stability.
- Air removal from the heat carrier. If an air plug forms, fluid does not pass through it. You need to know how to tie the system correctly. Be sure to install air vents.
- Cleaning the coolant from contaminants that impair functioning. The solution is the installation of filters.
- Compensation of the expansion of the coolant due to heating - you need to install an expansion tank.
In the simplest strapping scheme - with one circuit - a non-return valve with a ball valve on the supply side is mounted. The pump is installed on return or discharge pipes, since it is necessary to make the liquid circulate through the system. Before the pump include a strainer. A filter is also needed at the inlet of the coolant to the boiler. Nearby they put an expansion tank with a membrane to relieve excess pressure resulting from the expansion of the coolant.
The latter, circulating, enters the radiators. There is a second strapping option, more relevant when the coolant passes through a manifold that distributes fluid along the contours. The presence of a safety valve is mandatory: if the coolant boils, the expansion vessel may not withstand high pressure. The valve protects against possible risks:
- pipe rupture and leakage;
- fittings rupture;
- apparatus explosion.
Reviews
Zh7-KS-GS-7.0 S: Roman G., Shakhunya
The main advantages are low cost and compactness. The disadvantage is that it goes out and does not flare up the first time. After listening to the tips, we bought the Taiga, and painted the boiler reliable. In fact, it turned out - a lot of problems. The most unpleasant thing is to kindle it. It happens that you set fire to the wick several times until the burner burns. The wick goes out on its own. Unhappy with the choice.
KS-G-12.5 DS: Victoria E., Bryansk
For a long time they wanted to change the old-style boiler to a more obedient and economical one. We chose the floor option. We have a boiler, so we put a single-circuit boiler. The cost and simplicity of the design attracted. It has no superfunctions, as in its European counterparts, but it works properly. There were no problems during the season. A powerful device that can heat our large house in the most severe frosts.
Taiga gas heaters are an advantageous offer in the parapet type segment. They have an affordable price combined with high performance. This inexpensive and unpretentious device runs smoothly in the most severe climatic conditions. All product lines from Termotechnik are reliable, energy efficient and are in high demand among domestic consumers.
