Whether in the home or industrial heating systems, gas boilers can be found. The operation of gas boilers can not function without a power supply. Once the power goes out, it can not provide stable heating for users in countries and regions with long winters, such as the UK, Germany and Russia. And Virtue gas boiler UPS can provide sufficient power during a power cut to keep the gas boiler running, helping you avoid risks such as heating interruptions and burst pipes.
What is gas boiler UPS?
Gas boiler UPS is an uninterruptible power supply device specifically designed for gas boilers. Many people mistakenly believe that the gas boiler can continue to operate even during a power outage. In fact, although the gas boiler uses natural gas as fuel, its fan, control panel, circulation pump, and other components still rely on electricity to operate. Once the power is cut off, the gas boiler will shut down. This may cause your home to lose heating. During the heating season, frozen and burst pipes may lead to water damage and other consequences. Our online 1-3kVA lithium UPS can automatically switch to battery power within 0 milliseconds if mains power fails, ensuring your home boiler system can continue operating without interruption.
Why do you need lithium UPS for gas boiler?
First, the core components of gas boiler need electricity to operate properly. Even with sufficient gas, it cannot supply heat without electrical power. Especially in regions with long winters, if the gas boiler stops running, it will lock up. Even after power is restored, it still requires manual reset. Furthermore, when gas boiler equipment loses power, indoor temperatures will drop rapidly within a short period, and pipes may burst due to frozen water.
In addition, boiler equipment is highly sensitive to power fluctuations. Common UPS systems output square waves or modified sine waves. Our lithium UPS for gas boilers is specifically designed for gas boiler equipment and emits a pure sine wave, ensuring the boiler’s electronic components are protected from power fluctuations. More importantly, our lithium UPS for gas boilers is equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, which ensure reliable battery capacity even in cold climates. So you can fully rest assured that it won’t like traditional lead-acid batteries, suffering a significant drop in capacity due to cold temperatures. If you’d like to customize a lithium UPS for your gas boiler, please feel free to contact us for a tailored solution and product quote.
Online gas boiler UPS and interactive UPS which is better?
When mains power is supplied, the online gas boiler UPS will first convert it into direct current to charge the battery, and simultaneously output clean alternating current to the boiler equipment via the inverter. Because the online UPS is operating continuously, the battery will immediately provide power when mains power is interrupted. And the boiler will not experience any interruption in power supply.
When powered by the mains, the inverter of the interactive UPS remains in standby mode, and the boiler accepts mains power directly. If the mains voltage is too high or too low, the interactive UPS will automatically adjust the voltage into the normal range. It will switch to battery power only when the mains supply experiences severe abnormalities or failure. Its switchover time is 2 to 6 milliseconds. This response time is sufficient for most residential boilers. However, if your equipment is an industrial boiler or an imported precision boiler that requires higher power quality, choosing online UPS would be more reliable.
5 key points for selecting the uninterruptible power supply for gas boiler
Choose UPS with a pure sine wave output
The circulation pump in a gas boiler system uses AC motor. If your UPS outputs a square wave or modified sine wave, the motor is easy to overheat, creates more noise, and decreases efficiency. Over time, it may burn out the windings. Choosing gas boiler UPS with a standard sine wave can ensure the pump operates smoothly and quietly.
Choose lithium gas boiler UPS
Compared to lead-acid UPS systems, we recommend choosing lithium UPS. Lead-acid batteries have a lifespan of 2–3 years. This means you’ll need to replace them frequently. In contrast, our gas boiler UPS based on LiFePO4 batteries, can last 8 to 10 years and requires no regular maintenance. Additionally, gas boilers are mainly used during winter. At low ambient temperatures, the actual usable capacity of lead-acid batteries is less than 60% of the rated capacity. In contrast, LiFePO4 batteries can withstand temperatures as low as -10°C. And we can also customize the product based on your specific operating environment to ensure the uninterruptible power supply for gas boiler can provide stable and reliable power support.
Calculate the UPS capacity and backup time
For a residential gas boiler, 1-3kVA tower UPS is sufficient to meet your needs. Of course, you can calculate the capacity based on the actual power consumption of your equipment and add some margin for flexibility. If your area suffers from prolonged power outages, you can opt for an external battery to extend the backup time. Please provide us with the power requirements of your equipment and your ideal backup duration, and we will calculate the most suitable UPS capacity for you.
Note the UPS switching time
When UPS detects mains power abnormalities, its switch from mains power to battery power requires a reaction time. If this time is too long, the equipment will shut down once it detects a power interruption. Virtue online UPS for gas boiler has a switching time of 0 milliseconds, ensuring the boiler does not experience a power outage during the transition to battery power.
Choose reliable gas boiler UPS provider
As a professional gas boiler UPS manufacturer, our products are equipped with highly reliable, long-lasting, and maintenance-free LiFePO4 batteries, capable of providing you with reliable power support even in the harshest environments. Furthermore, we can provide timely and professional technical support whenever you need it.
Conclusion
Virtue gas boiler UPS can instantly switch to lithium iron phosphate batteries to provide power to your gas boiler when mains power is interrupted, ensuring your heating system continues to operate. Furthermore, we can provide gas boiler UPS specifically for extremely cold regions, so you don’t have to worry about the product’s performance in such environments. Additionally, if your region has unique temperature conditions, please contact us for customized gas boiler UPS solutions and products.
