Wall-hung gas boilers

Wall-hung gas boilers in our living spaces deliver heat and home comfort. Whether it is a condensing boiler or combi-boiler, we can provide the right pressure and temperature measuring instruments to guarantee optimal functionality and efficiency.

Measuring instruments for monitoring and controlling

Our portfolio includes high-quality measuring instruments for monitoring and controlling hot water and industrial water circuits in gas boilers. These include:

  • Pressure gauges: These instruments are used for precise pressure indication and are essential for reliable monitoring of the heating system.
  • Pressure sensors: Our pressure sensors generate digital indication values that enable accurate and easy-to-read pressure monitoring.

Flexible options for your needs

Depending on your needs, we offer various output signals to meet the specific requirements of your application. This includes pressure displays that are independent of the measuring location. By using a pressure measuring instrument with a capillary, the pressure can be displayed independently of the measuring location. For applications calling for frequent bending of capillaries, we also offer ultra-flexible plastic capillaries besides the common copper capillaries.

Temperature measurement of hot water and industrial water

Our portfolio comprises the following products for precise temperature measurement of hot and industrial water in gas boilers:

  • Expansion thermometer: These instruments measure the tension resulting from temperature changes in the system and provide accurate temperature values.
  • Thermomanometer: They combine the function of a thermometer and pressure gauge, providing an integrated solution for temperature and pressure measurement.

Application areas and advantages

Our measuring instruments are ideally suited for integration into various heating systems, including:

  • Hybrid heating systems: Combine gas boilers with heat pumps and use our measurement technology to optimise the overall system.
  • Condensing boilers: Maximise the efficiency of your gas condensing boilers through precise pressure and temperature monitoring.
  • Combi-boilers: Benefit from the compact combination of heating and hot water functions, supported by our reliable measurement technology.
  • Compact instruments: Being ideal for limited spaces, our compact measuring instruments offer maximum precision and reliability.

Do gas boilers still make sense?

Gas boilers may still make sense, especially in regions with a well-developed gas infrastructure. Modern gas boilers, condensing boilers in particular, offer high efficiency and can reduce heating costs. Additionally, they save space and can be used for both heating and hot water. However, the environmental compatibility and long-term availability of natural gas should also be considered.

What is the difference between gas heating systems and gas boilers?

Gas heating system is a general term that covers all types of heating systems that are fired by natural gas. This includes gas boilers as well as larger gas heating boilers. Gas boilers is a specific types of gas heating system that is often available in a compact form and is installed directly in the living space. Gas boilers can be designed as combi-boilers (for heating and hot water) or as pure heating boilers. The main difference lies in the design and integration into the heating system of the building.

What alternative are there to gas boilers?

There are several alternatives to gas boilers that can be considered depending on the specific needs and local conditions:

  • Heat pumps use ambient heat from the air, ground or water and are very energy-efficient.
  • Hybrid heating systems combine different heating technologies, such as a gas boiler and a heat pump.
  • Solar thermal systems use solar energy to heat water and support the heating system.
  • Pellet heating systems use wood pellets as fuel, making them a renewable energy source.
  • In urban areas, district heating may be an environmentally friendly and efficient alternative, as the heat is generated and distributed centrally.

Do gas boilers still have a future?

The future of gas boilers depends on several factors, including the development of energy prices, the availability of natural gas and the political framework conditions on the reduction of CO2 emissions. In many countries, the use of fossil fuels is being increasingly restricted in order to meet climate targets. In the medium term, gas boilers could therefore be replaced by more environmentally friendly alternatives, such as heat pumps or hybrid heating systems.

Nevertheless, gas boilers remain an important option in regions with a well-developed gas infrastructure and in buildings where it is difficult to switch to other heating systems.
