STAFOR

Changes in energy prices, the emergence of new heating technologies, increased attention to the environmental housing is pushing people to seek alternative or complementary options for heating.

There is a stereotype that heating using electric energy - is "too expensive". To some extent this is acceptable, but with compulsory reservation: this view is true only for TEN boilers, which were used in the systems filled with ordinary water. Very quickly the surface of TEN (tubular heating element), absorbed heat-insulating crust of salt and efficiency of the boiler falls to 70% and below. That is, the energy spent inefficiently. In time TEN while overheated and quickly went out of order.

Such deficiencies have no heating systems with ion (electrode) boilers. Here there is no transmission link - TEN, system heating comes directly from the electrical characteristics of a special heat carrier, filled into the system. This heat carrier does not raid the salt, heat transfer surfaces are clean and the entire heating system is working well, so - and economically.

9 year old practice of operation of heating systems with ion boilers STAFOR in Latvia shows that the heated thus cheaper than oil-fired boilers or liquefied gas. Cheaper natural gas only from the "pipe" and a solid fuel (firewood, charcoal, etc.).

Given the low cost of the system with an ion boiler STAFOR compared with alternatives (boiler, capable of heat 62,5 sq. m. residential room with normal insulation is 75 Ls), the use of such heaters, of course, is cost-effective and justified.

Among the advantages of ion heating boilers should be noted:

•small size (for the installation of a boiler 1 square meter on the wall in any room),
•silent operation,
•the possibility of programming modes of operation at different times of day, which reduces costs for heating,
•quick and easy installation of the ion boiler STAFOR,
•the absence of combustion and, consequently, a higher fire and explosion safety,
•lack of demand for fuel,
•the possibility of installing a new heating system at, and at a pre-existing,
•the possibility of parallel connection with other heat boilers,
•protection from freezing the system (ion boilers heat carrier are not frozen to -40°C),
•environmental merit;
•energy-saving automation of new generation;
•class I electrical safety (certificate Nr. T25D07, T37D08) in accordance with European Union standards.

STAFOR COMBI
thermodynamic unit - ion heater hybrid system

The annual heating price increase encourages owners of private houses and apartments to search for new heating technologies and technical solutions to reduce these rising costs.

Often, these solutions lie in the field of optimization and reasonable combination of advantages of the known heating systems types. An example of such solution is thermodynamic heating system STAFOR COMBI.

STAFOR COMBI heating system is a combination of effective, even in north climate zone hybrid heat pump – solar collector (thermodynamic system) and new generation ion heater.

Each of the components of this system has its strengths and weaknesses. Their reasonable combination in one system makes maximum use of the first and possibility to avoid the second.

Thermodynamic system allows to use for heating – solar energy as direct solar radiation and heat energy from environment.

In north climate zones, this system has the advantage over solar collectors, as it works when there are no direct sunlight (at night, in cloudy and rainy weather, all year round).

The advantages of STAFOR COMBI thermodynamic unit comparing with ground source and air heat pumps are absence of large external contours plowed in the ground, ice accretion of external heat pumps blocks. In thermodynamic unit heat transfer is made through compact and easily mounted on the facade or roof thermodynamic panels. The high coefficient of performance (COP 200% - 800%) is also a major advantage of the thermodynamic system.

The strength of the second component of heating system STAFOR COMBI – new generation ion boiler STAFOR who have highest efficiency (COP 100% - 204%) comparing to all electric heating appliances and ability to provide significant heat flow in just few seconds. Heating with STAFOR ion boiler is 1.5 - 2 times cheaper than heating with TEN boilers or classical electric convectors.

Combining those two cutting-edge heating technologies in one system STAFOR COMBI, we get a compact, highly efficient heating system for small private houses (up to 100m²) and apartments, capable to guarantee hot water and heat for a reasonable price.

Two thermodynamic panels of the system STAFOR COMBI fully cover needs of apartment or small house for hot water (consuming about 2kWh per 200 liters of hot water 55°C) and heating (consuming about 2.5kWh per 1 m² in month) at spring and fall. Winter time, during peak load for heating and in moment of huge consumption of hot water, ion boiler STAFOR automatically connects in work and quickly replaces missing heat flow.

Work of STAFOR COMBI is controlled by automatic climate control system. It controls the temperature of the hot water in the sanitary boiler, the temperature of the indoor environment and allows you to set different temperatures during the day and week.

In STAFOR COMBI heating system you can find the combination of high efficiency and reasonable low cost what makes it a very interesting solution for a large number of residents who wish to optimize their heating costs.

1. EFFICIENCY.

The increased rate of energy conversion from electrical to thermal with COP from 1 (100%) to 1.57 (157%), depending on the model of boiler and operation mode. From other manufacturers, this parameter is less than 1.
This means that if you use the boiler STAFOR, the electric current makes a greater job and, respectively, heating costs are reduced.
Do not overpay for heating! Use high-efficiency boilers STAFOR!

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY.

The original, patented design of the boiler is fundamentally different from the designs of other manufacturers. It enables to use a principle of the separation of working and protective field ("Faraday cell").
To date, it is the only ion (electrode) boiler of a flow type that is entirely consistent with the requirements of the European Community Low Voltage Directive â„– 73/23/EEC on electrical safety and authorized for sale and use in the EU member states.
Do not expose your life, and lives of other people to danger. Use electrical safety ion boilers STAFOR!
Boilers of other manufacturers can have a dangerous leak of electric current on the body of the boiler!

3. QUALITY AND RELIABILITY.

A large margin of safety for materials is incorporated into the ion boiler STAFOR during its design. The use of high-tech alloys and plastics (with heat resistance up to 700 ° C, with enhanced dielectric properties) provides high quality and reliability of the boiler STAFOR, making it preferable in comparison with other manufacturers products.
All materials used in the manufacture of the boiler have European quality certificates.
Boiler construction and used materials exclude manifestations of destructive processes in the boiler (electrolysis, chemical reactions, etc.), which, unfortunately, some other manufacturers have.
Such manifestations may result the premature erosion of the electrodes and other elements of boiler’s design, up to their complete destruction, unstable operation of the boiler, the increased power consumption, lowering COP (coefficient of performance).

Experience in the use of ionic boilers STAFOR indicates that the equipment, used more than 5 years, shows no signs of erosion of electrodes and other elements of the boiler’s construction, the boiler operating parameters are stable.
The service life of the ion boiler STAFOR subject to the rules of installation and operation is at least 10 years.

Effective and reliable automation of ion boilers STAFOR, unlike the products of other manufacturers, has protection functions from overload, from misalignment phases of current, failure of one phase of current. It provides stable and energy-efficient boiler operation.
Heat career STATERM EKO E40 used for the ion boiler STAFOR provides a stable ionic composition, stability of electrical parameters of the boiler and high COP.

Do not skimp on quality, use reliable boilers STAFOR!
