Gas boiler "Don" - domestic products. These powerful floor devices are made at the Conord factory. They are designed for heating an area of 300-500 m². The boilers operate autonomously, are independent of the mains.
When making small changes to the design, they can switch to alternative fuel. The same models are able to function on coal, wood, gas.
About company
OJSC “KONORD Plant” is located in Rostov-on-Don. The direction of his activity is the production of heating equipment. In leading positions since 1979, the boilers of this company today heat more than two million residential premises. Here, along with gas equipment, solid fuel, pellet and universal heaters, gas columns and burners are produced.
The company owns two brands - “DON” and “CONORD”. All products are maximally adapted to Russian operating conditions.
Benefits
- A well-thought-out burner design maintains a stable temperature.
- Work on any type of fuel.
- A quick set of temperature, the room heats up to the set values in minutes.
- The case is made of thick high-quality steel, designed for the long-term operation of the equipment.
- The small dimensions of the boilers simplify their installation and transportation.
- Thanks to the vertical installation of doors and chimneys, the cleaning of burners and chimneys is simplified.
- The presence of built-in automation allows the owner not to worry about maintaining the set temperature. Automation is a guarantee of reliability and safety.
- High efficiency - 90%. A number of modifications are equipped with a draft regulator; it saves up to 30% of natural gas.
- Independent of electricity. You do not have to lay the cable, connect to the mains. When a power outage continues to operate stably.
- Convenient use. Universal and interchangeable. Instead of a boiler that has exhausted its resource, it is easy to put another one without changing the heating system. Easily converted to alternative fuels. You can put a gas burner or pellet.
- Reliable work. They work smoothly for a long time. Domestic developers took into account all the features of operation: pressure in the main gas pipelines, water quality, low temperatures in winter and much more. The material of the combustion chambers is carbon steel, corrosion resistant. Replace the coil if necessary, and the operation of the equipment is extended.
- For cladding, galvanized metal with a polymer coating is used, it extends the service life of the equipment and gives it an attractive appearance.
Single-circuit
Devices with one circuit - KS-T 16, KS-T 16 RT and others. Thanks to the traction control, energy costs are reduced. A thermal power of 16 kW is enough to heat 160 m².
All single-circuit versions are capable of working on different types of fuel. Efficiency - 85–90%. Thanks to thoughtful design solutions, heat loss is minimized. The boilers are made of stainless steel (3-4 mm thick).
Heaters weigh 120–160 kg.
Double-circuit
These are the models KS TVM 16/20, TV 31.5 / 40, TV 20 and others. A number of dual-circuit heaters are easily converted from gas to coal / firewood and vice versa. Designed for heating areas up to 300 m². At the same time as heating, they heat water for domestic use.
The secondary circuit is a copper coil, if necessary, it can be changed, thereby prolonging the operation of the equipment.
A dual-circuit boiler has characteristics almost similar to those of a single-circuit boiler. Also made of steel, but more powerful than single-circuit versions. Options for 20, 30 and 50 kW are available. Their mass is 150-200 kg.
How to choose
Thermal power. Choosing it, you need to know not only the area that is supposed to be heated. If the device is chosen for heating a private house, you must also consider what material it is built from and how much it is insulated.
In apartments, the location is important - central or corner. In the latter, it is always colder, therefore, power must be chosen with a margin.
The approximate power of the device is determined by the ratio - 1000 W for every 10 squares of the area. And for every meter cubic - 40-60 watts. But it is recommended to take boilers with a margin of heating capacity of 30% for cold houses and apartments. Firstly, there will be no problems with heating during the most severe frosts, and secondly, the equipment will not work for wear and will last longer.
Electricity Dependence. This parameter is more important for reliability and stability than for profitability. If the boilers provide for the consumption of electricity, for example for ignition, then it is insignificant.
The number of circuits. The possibilities and cost of the heater depend on the choice of this parameter. Single-circuit ones are chosen for heating, double-circuit ones, in addition to heating rooms, can heat water for domestic use.
Installation method. Wall or floor. The choice depends on the area of the room. Wall-mounted versions are more compact.
Heat exchanger material - steel or cast iron. Cast iron is more reliable, they are not afraid of corrosion.
Type of combustion chamber. It is more convenient to use a closed firebox: they are safer, do not waste the indoor air of rooms, and it is precisely them who are preferred today by owners of houses and apartments that are not equipped with traditional chimneys.
How much do they cost
Equipment from domestic brands is a priori cheaper than imported equipment, and the products of the Konord plant are no exception.
The price of Don boilers depends on the model and its capacity. Inexpensive single-circuit apparatus KS-T-16, designed for heating 160 m², costs about 17,000 rubles. The cost of a powerful dual-circuit apparatus designed for heating 300 m² is 37,000 rubles.

Operational Features
Each model is accompanied by an instruction in which the user can familiarize themselves with the operating rules of the heater, its connection diagram, with design features, settings and adjustments.
The system fills up gradually, at a speed of no more than 8 l / min. The water is fresh. Filling is continued until fluid appears in the overflow tube of the expansion vessel.
Description of the ignition process:
- airing the combustion chamber for 5-10 minutes, the main valve must be closed;
- checking traction by moving the paper strip closer to the inspection window;
- opening of a gate of air supply and kindling of a flame;
- closing the door;
- temperature control by a coil valve.
Installation and piping
Boilers should be installed by specialists, but even users should know the installation rules. If the piping is performed according to the gravitational scheme, the heater is placed lower than the pipes of the return line - this improves the movement of the coolant. The chimney is located inside the structure.
If the chimney passes through unheated rooms, it must be insulated.
Connection of additional equipment
All Conord products are easy to operate, but it will not be superfluous to equip the device with a temperature regulator - this device will make the equipment work as efficient as possible. You can also pre-purchase an additional coil in case of breakage. Heaters are equipped with an adjustable front gate as standard.
Reviews
KS-TGVm-16: Nikolai V., Dolgoprudny
Bought for 18,000 rubles two years ago. Attracted by the price, they are much cheaper than the Proterm analogues, for example, or Buderus. We use any fuel - gas and solid. On natural gas, the power is 20, on solid fuel 16 kW. We heat them with about two hundred squares, plus it still heats the water. It looks ugly, rustic, but the main thing for me is that I can always find any components on it.
KSC-G-20S: George T., Great Luke
This unit has one plus - ease of maintenance. It is easy to understand its principle of operation, to eliminate simple malfunctions. The rest are flaws. During normal operation, the gas eats one and a half cubic meters per hour, and if in the yard it is minus 25, then all 2.5 cubic meters. They promise 92% efficiency, but for me 5,000 rubles for heating a hundred cubic meters is a bit much.
Floor boilers from the Rostov-based Konord company are in demand among consumers who are ready to sacrifice the technological “bonuses” offered by European counterparts. The Don heaters are adapted to Russian conditions, reliable and affordable.
