The gas boiler "Kiturami" is a product of the Korean company of the same name that produces heating equipment. The company, specializing in the production of diesel boilers, also produces several series of solid fuel and gas appliances. Like any Korean equipment, Kiturami products are an example of quality and reliability, hence the demand of the Russian consumer.
About company
KITURAMI is a Korean company founded in 1962. Today it is the largest manufacturer of heating equipment in Korea. Its products are operated in Russia, Europe, America and other countries. Korean heaters can operate in radically different climatic conditions - from the subtropics to the Arctic. The company owns a powerful research center with more than five hundred patents and property rights to its own developments. The products have ISO 9001 certificates and permission from Gosgortekhnadzor.
Benefits of Kiturami
Korean boilers, many times superior in cost to domestic counterparts, enjoy well-deserved respect. Consumers are attracted by their reliability and thoughtful design, freeing the user from the usual troubles associated with the operation of gas equipment. Pros:
- All manufactured modifications have two circuits. A double-circuit boiler is not only heating, but also the hot water supply of the entire house. In domestic analogues there is a drawback - when you turn on the water, its temperature quickly decreases. The Koreans solved this problem - when the tap opens, the automatics rebuilds the system - the water heating mode changes the heating mode.
- It is possible to work at different temperatures - thanks to two independent circulation rings. When the consumer turns off the water, a reverse transition occurs - to heating or waiting.
- Simple operation. A child is able to master. The user’s task is to select and set the temperature. For heating separately, for water - separately. Further, automation does everything without human intervention.
- A gas detection system is provided - if a leak occurs, a shutdown occurs, the flame goes out, an accident is eliminated.
- Energy saving modes. Many modifications of Kiturami are equipped with a room thermostat-regulator that allows you to select the modes - "absence", "sleep", "shower".
- In winter, when it is cold outside, “Koreans” automatically maintain a stable temperature - freezing of the heating system is excluded. If the owner is serving for a long time, it is not necessary to turn off the device - just set the “no” mode.
- The equipment diagnoses problems on its own, displaying the appropriate code on the screen. Such a function allows the user to easily identify and eliminate the malfunction - the instruction decrypts the codes and indicates what to do.
The device of wall boilers
General in design
The difference and advantage of Kiturami over its competitors is a special burner. It is called turbocyclone. Due to the double burning of fuel provided by such a burner, the devices operate at the lowest fuel pressure - this is especially valuable for the winter season. The manufacturer produces three lines with a similar design. Wall mounted devices consist of:
- copper heat exchanger;
- DHW tanks;
- forced smoke exhaust system;
- circulation pump;
- sensors - leakage and seismological (triggered by shocks from 4 points);
- gas valve.
The efficiency of wall-mounted devices is 91-98%. Interfering with the design of Korean-made devices on their own is not recommended - they need after-sales service.
Twin alpha
Models of the Twin Alpha series are protected against gas leaks and water hammer. When the wind blows the flame, the device does not go out - an automatic restart occurs. The series features several modifications that differ in power - from 15 to 35 kW. Heat exchangers differ structurally, the main - flow, and for hot water - plate type. Closed combustion chamber. The device cannot function without a coaxial chimney. Energy is gas. Works on natural or liquefied. The average efficiency of Twin Alpha is 92%. The coolant is heated to a maximum of 85 ° C. For forced circulation systems only. Estimated price - 30 000-37 000 rubles. Owner reviews indicate the noiselessness of the devices.
World plus
Used copper capacitive heat exchangers and internal combustion burners. Such solutions increase the service life of the heaters, increase their corrosion resistance and provide 100% fuel combustion. Closed version of the combustion chamber. Coaxial chimney 60/100 - it is not supplied. The line consists of 5 models repeating the Twin Alpha power series. All are volatile. The cost of 42 000-52 000 rubles. Specifications:
- pressure 20 mbar;
- Efficiency - 92.5%;
- DHW pressure - 10 atm., systems - 2.5 atm .;
- the heat carrier is heated to 85 ° C.
- weight 33-39 kg.
Hi fin
A distinctive feature of the series is the two-sided combustion of the burner. The heat exchanger is capacitive. Hi fin models are capable of delivering water 1.5 times more than the boilers of the previous series. Only 6 modifications from 11 700 to 34 900 kW. Efficiency - 92.5%. The price depends on capacity - 38 000-42 000 rubles.
Benefits:
• The alloy steel of which the heat exchanger is made prevents the appearance of scale - the duration of operation increases.
• Double protection against freezing.
• The flame is evenly distributed - the burner has two combustion zones.
• Several security modes.
• Power saving mode.
All three series look favorable in comparison with European counterparts, as they are unpretentious and, which is very valuable for Russian consumers, able to serve under the most unfavorable parameters:
• 0.3 Bar - pressure in gas pipes;
• 1.6 l / min - water supply.
The device of floor boilers
Each Kiturami floor unit is equipped with a turbo-cyclone burner. If necessary, it can be replaced by diesel. The manufacturer offers three versions:
- STSG. Heat output 15-35 kW. Are compact. Roomy DHW capacity. Steel radiator - welded using innovative technologies that prevent leakage.
- TURBO. Low noise. The original structure of the heat exchanger chamber - combustion products pass through it repeatedly.
- KSOG. They differ from other versions in large dimensions, greater heat production - 58-454 kW, and the use of special heat transfer pipes. Pressed pipes can increase efficiency.

- Power - to reboot the system in the event of a power outage and repair. You cannot re-enable more than 3 times in a row. Need more - make an interval of 5 minutes.
Error Codes
01-03 - the fire detection system does not work. Ignition lock and shutdown - to prevent gas leakage. The reason is a breakdown or exposure to environmental factors. The solution is to restart by pressing the power button located on the temperature controller. The gas valve must be closed. If the problem persists, call the service department.
04 - faulty temperature sensor. The solution is to turn off and call specialists.
05- it is possible that the overheating sensor is open, or the seismic sensor has tripped. Work for the service center.
06- the boiler does not recognize the supercharger speed. Only to specialists.
07 - fan speed does not meet the limit values. Check if there are any foreign objects in the fan. Acceleration is often triggered by wind penetrating the chimney. Condensation can also accumulate in the knee - it needs to be drained.
Reviews
World 5000: Vitaliy M., Obninsk
I can only compare with the antediluvian non-turbine apparatus, which has served me for 10 years. From the pros - ten minutes is enough to warm the entire apartment. In 2 minutes - the batteries burn if set to maximum. For three years it broke 2 times - due to clogged pipes. It was worth cleaning, and it all worked. It is in a 2-room apartment, but the heating circuit is large - four batteries, underfloor heating, heated towel rail. In 3 minutes, the circuit is heated to maximum. Hot water heats up to 60 degrees in 30-40 seconds. Of the minuses. It makes a lot of noise. It is hard to find parts.
Twin Alpha 13: Oleg R., Privolzhsk
The disappointment is complete. Bought for 19,000 rubles in 2010. Used only for heating. During operation, parts were purchased for a large amount. I had to buy a spare part in the expansion tank and others. more than 10 000 is only a burner with heat exchanger in the assembly. During use, the power decreased. For the money spent, you could buy a good German boiler.
Korean manufacturers have created heating equipment, which has become a worthy player in the Russian gas boiler market. Kiturami boilers are rapidly gaining the respect of domestic consumers, as they represent a worthy alternative to expensive European counterparts and many domestic boilers - inexpensive and imperfect. Innovative technologies, electronics, multifunctionality - all this is in Kiturami, as befits Korean technology, despite conflicting user reviews.
