Gas water heaters Baxi, customer reviews for which can not often be found on websites and forums on the Internet, at first were not particularly popular among Russian consumers due to their rather high price. This brand was known in our country only for its heating products.

But everything changed a few years ago when the Italian company moved the production of its gas instantaneous water heaters from Europe to Iran. The quality of materials, components and spare parts remains the same high level, but the price has now become quite affordable for domestic consumers.

Let's take a look at what the company represents on Russian market Baxi SIG-2 geyser models, technical characteristics of these devices and photos appearance. In detail, according to the operating instructions (passport), we will analyze the internal structure of the column, together we will determine its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with its imported and domestic analogues.

Model range and features of Baxi SIG-2 geyser models

The Italian company presents Baxi gas instantaneous water heaters with an open combustion chamber of just a few modifications:

— with automatic ignition: Baxi SIG-2 11i and SIG-2 14i;
— with piezo ignition: Baxi SIG-2 11p.

Geyser Baxi SIG-2 11i

Geysers with automatic electronic ignition operate (turn on) from an Lr20 battery, which is included with the device itself. The fact that this water heating device is an “automatic water heater” is evidenced by the article “ i" in the name of the model with ionization control of flame combustion.

These gas water heaters are produced with different power and hot water productivity. The Baxi SIG-2 11i model has a rated power of 22 kW and a flow rate of 11 liters per minute. Baxi SIG-2 14i dispenser with electronic ignition: 29 kW and 14 l/min., respectively.

Automatic models of this series have a small LCD display on the front side of the case that displays the set and current water temperature and error codes for any malfunctions or malfunctions in the operation of the instantaneous gas water heater.

Also on the column body we can see two mechanical regulators: water temperature and pressure. The temperature of the water passing through the heat exchanger is maintained automatically, and is exactly the one set by the user.

The Baxi gas water heater with manual piezo ignition is represented by one single model Baxi SIG-2 11p with thermoelectric combustion control. Manual ignition on this device is carried out thanks to a special piezoelectric element and a regulator-ignition button on the water heater panel.

This is the most inexpensive model in the line of speakers of the Italian concern, which does not have a digital information LCD display and batteries. It is produced with a rated power of only 22 kW and a capacity of 11 l/min.

Now let's see how the abbreviation " SIG-2»:

S - water heater;
I—instant (flow);
G - gas;
2 - second generation.

Geyser Baxi SIG-2: price, design and functionality

Baksi gas water heaters are produced in Iran at the same manufacturing plant as the Italian brand water heaters. The internal structure, arrangement of components and elements are almost identical. And even the price is approximately the same: from 12,000-13,000 rubles for the most inexpensive model. Let's look at the internal structure of the Baksi gas water heater in detail using a photo diagram.

In addition, all models are equipped with continuous, smooth modulation of the burner flame, separate regulation of water temperature and set power, as well as a built-in gas pressure reducer. Combustion control in models with auto-ignition Baxi SIG-11i and 14i is carried out by an ionization electrode, and in the model with a piezoelectric element Baxi SIG-2 11p - using a thermocouple.

Gas water heaters Baxi SIG-2: technical specifications, dimensions

The gas instantaneous water heater has compact dimensions, the 11 liter model: 582x314x245 mm, and the 14 liter model: 650x365x245 mm. The chimney diameter of the columns is 110 and 130 mm, respectively.

Water and gas connections are made using 1/2″ threaded fittings. Baksi geysers can operate on both natural and bottled gas (by replacing the nozzles of the appropriate gas passage diameter). Now we will analyze in detail the main characteristics: gas consumption, minimum water and gas pressure and other parameters according to the table.

Gas water heaters Baxi SIG-2: technical specifications

Advantages of geysers Baxi SIG-2:

— quality of materials and internal elements;
— copper heat exchanger;
— water-gas unit made of brass;
— smooth modulation of the burner flame;
- a well-known European brand.

Disadvantages of Baksi geysers:

- narrow the lineup;
— a small number of customer and specialist reviews;
— price.

Today we sorted out geysers Baksi, technical characteristics, design and functional features according to the operating instructions. The Baxi SIG-2 11i, 14i and 11p models undoubtedly stand out good quality, innovation and modern design. We examined the main advantages and minor disadvantages of gas instantaneous water heaters from the popular European manufacturer Baxi. Let's watch the video.

Water heaters have a fairly wide range of applications, and for a number of reasons they are much more practical than full-fledged boilers. But even outstanding structures can break. And traditional European quality, alas, does not guarantee complete protection against such problems.

Peculiarities

It should be noted that Baxi produces not only instantaneous, but also storage water heaters. But still, a considerable part of customers prefer speakers in the traditional sense of the word. Until recently, the products of the Italian brand in Russia belonged to the premium segment. But after the recent relocation of production facilities to Iran, the total cost of goods has decreased markedly, while the level of quality has not changed.

Modifications and alternatives

Before talking about the speakers themselves, it is worth paying attention to alternative offers from the same concern. Storage water heaters Italian company are represented by the SAG3 model. These devices are suitable for both domestic and industrial sectors. According to the manufacturer, using them to replace outdated heating equipment means ensuring a stable supply of large quantity water.

The design difference is:

open type gas combustion chamber;
piezoelectric ignition;
autonomy from power supply;
high-quality enamel on the walls of the storage tank, which reliably inhibits corrosion;
Possibility of installation both on walls and on the floor;
environmentally and sanitary-neutral thermal protection.

But there are situations when neither such equipment nor the outdated model of the Main 24 fi boiler suits consumers. In such a case, a Baxi gas water heater comes to the rescue, providing flowing water. The Italian company has developed a family of SIG-2 devices for this purpose. All of them are equipped with an open combustion chamber, but there is a certain difference. Thus, models 11i, 14i are equipped with an automatic ignition module, and the 11p version uses a piezoelectric method for generating a spark.

The energy-dependent modification 11i receives electricity for igniting gas from an Lr20 format battery supplied with the column. The system is equipped with a module that monitors air ionization characteristic of a burning flame. If it goes out, the automation sends the appropriate commands to the working nodes. The 11i is capable of providing nominal thermal power 22 kW and supply of 11 liters of heated water per minute. For the 14i version, these parameters are 29 kW, 14 liters of water.

Automatic Baxi models are equipped with a liquid crystal screen on the facade, which shows:

preset water temperature;
its achieved level;
conditional error codes.

As for the mechanical controls, two of them are located on the body, respectively setting the heating of the liquid and its pressure. Manual ignition on the 11p model is achieved through the use of a prepared piezoelectric element and a control button inserted into the front panel. The advantage of a non-volatile design is its relative low cost, which is achieved, among other things, by eliminating the digital screen. The system has a thermal rating of 22 kW and a water output of 11 liters in 60 seconds.

Automatic speakers are equipped with:

hydraulic valves;
traction indicators;
copper heat exchangers;
devices that regulate water temperature;
Setaak gas pressure indicators;
economizers.

The copper heat exchanger is harmoniously coupled with a hydraulic group made of high-quality brass. Sami gas-burners are made from stainless steel. Any Baxi speaker is equipped with devices that provide smooth modulation of the assigned power. A reducer that controls gas pressure is also built into them. Automated models monitor the fire using an ionization element, and piezoelectric models are equipped with a thermocouple.

Specifications geysers cannot be fully described without mentioning the dimensions of the device. The 11 l model has dimensions of 58.2 x 31.4 x 24.5 cm; in the version designed for a flow of 14 l, they are increased to 65 x 36.5 x 24.5 cm. The cross-sections of the chimneys in these cases are 11 and 13 cm. Connecting both water and and gas occurs using fittings cut into ½ inch. If you change the jets, Baxi geysers can be converted from natural to liquefied fuel.

Possible problems and their resolution

Even the best Italian speakers can have some technical problems. Troubleshooting directly depends on what type of equipment it is.

If there is no spark at SIG 2-11p, the reasons may be due to:

disconnected wire of the piezoelectric part;
impairment of her own performance;
poor connection of the piezoelectric element;
electrode deformation.

A different approach is needed when column 11i, 14i does not light up. First of all, it is worth checking the health of the batteries. After this, inspect the wire through which current flows to the electrode. Additionally, you will have to examine the electrode itself, the automation, and the membrane. Such manipulations and subsequent repairs (replacement) must be performed by trained specialists.

The user himself can create the required water pressure by turning the regulator to the extreme position. It happens that a spark seems to jump, but you still can’t turn on the column. A very common cause is a dirty ignition nozzle, which is purged and cleaned mechanically. You should also check whether the electrode responsible for ignition is positioned correctly.

Additional measures include checking the opening of the gas valve, removing air trapped in the gas pipeline and replacing the problematic electronic unit. When the igniter burner goes out randomly, you will have to change either the thermocouple or the coil. Judging by customer reviews, sometimes it is discovered that the fuse is burning, but it does not initiate the combustion of the main torch. The solution to the problem is to increase the water pressure in the system or replace the worn membrane. Sometimes another problem occurs: even when the water is stopped, the burner does not go out.

The first step is to clean the gas valve seal. Then disassemble the piston or rod in the water valve; if cleaning them does not help, these parts will have to be replaced. The next step involves checking the functionality of the microswitch lever (only for automatic models). Devices operating on liquefied gas may experience a similar problem if the regulator does not operate correctly. Too long ignition, accompanied by flapping in the burner, can be “cured” by adjusting the flame strength, cleaning the fuses and injectors.

In the case when the heat exchanger plates become clogged too quickly, it can be assumed that the reason is insufficient draft or dust in the room. Inspect the chimney and increase the draft level if necessary. You can fight yellow flames if you use only the type of gas for which the column is configured. Cleaning the burners also often helps. The appearance of a gas smell means it is necessary to inspect the gas pipeline and all joints using a soapy solution, following standard precautions.

It happens that the “aroma” of gaseous combustion products spreads throughout the room. They begin to eliminate the problem by checking the draft in the chimney and the quality of smoke removal. It is also worth assessing whether gas consumption has increased excessively, because intense combustion may exceed the evacuation capacity of the chimney. If, when a new battery is inserted, the column screen shows the temperature sensor readings, but the system does not operate when the hot tap is opened, you need to adjust the screw that presses the pusher button to the microswitch lever. Strict adherence to these recommendations will significantly extend the life of the column and get the maximum benefit from it.
