The Mora geyser is a Czech-made product from the MORA-TOP company, which has been producing heating and water-heating equipment for almost two hundred years. In the review, we propose to consider the most popular line of speakers of this brand, learn about their key characteristics and get acquainted with the opinions of users. So you can conclude whether to buy the Mora column or continue to search for products of another brand.
A little bit about the company
MORA-TOP began its 185-year history as a subsidiary of AS MORA MORAVIA. And only in 2003, the Mora-Top company became independent. In the spring of next year, the construction of the plant began in the Czech town of Unicov. Capacities took 5,000 "squares" and were built less than a year, so that in spring 2005 the world saw the first Mora instantaneous gas water heater, released at the new factory.
Today, the company has fully established the technological chain of equipment manufacturing, including:
- Technology for the processing of copper and the manufacture of heat exchangers, as well as stamping, degreasing stage, soldering and painting.
- Production of thermocouples.
- Assembly of finished products as part of the assembly line.
- Mandatory device testing.
The main line of speakers Mora
Gas water heaters are represented by a number of lines, we consider the most popular of them, focusing on the characteristics of individual models.
VEGA MAX
The wall-mounted VEGA MAX columns replaced the old Mora 370, 371, 5502 and 5502. What are their main advantages: the connection dimensions have not changed, so it will be easy for those with an old column to have a long life to replace with a new heater .
Suitable for both residential and non-residential premises with a heat output of 17.3 kW. The flow rate is 10 liters in 1 minute.
High quality parts are installed in the heaters:
- Water and gas fittings Mertik - German production.
- Gas and pilot burners, Czech-made copper heat exchanger.
On a note! The copper pipes of the boiler are characterized by a large diameter of 18 mm and a thick wall of 1 mm.
These devices are equipped with automatic support of the temperature regime of water, without reference to its volume. There are options with both piezo ignition and electric ignition (from two rechargeable batteries / batteries of type R20 to 1.5 V).
All gas appliances are highly safe, therefore, if there is no water flow, the gas valve does not work and the combustion products do not penetrate the room.
VEGA
The wall-mounted heater Mora Vega 10 and its “brothers” from the Vega line are positioned by the manufacturer as a completely new “star product”.
Interesting! It is mysteriously indicated on the manufacturer’s website that Vega 10 is one of three bright stars (most likely, these are three versions - 10, 13 and 16) that make up the summer-autumn triangle, and its brightness is several times greater than that of the Sun .
Minimum dimensions, combined with an ultramodern design solution of the casing, supplemented by impeccable heater parameters, make these boilers one of the best among the analogues that are currently available on the market.
Line Benefits
- modest dimensions;
- simplicity in technical and user maintenance;
- full automation of work;
- resource saving up to 10%;
- Efficiency up to 92%;
- the most economical way to provide hot water (hot water);
- smooth regulation of power modes;
- maintaining the user selected water temperature.
Device Dimensions
- Height: for VEGA 10 - 59.2 cm, for 12 and 16 - 65.9 cm.
- Width: for VEGA 10 - 32 cm, for 13 and 16 - 40 cm.
- Depth: for VEGA 10 - 26.1 cm, in versions 13 and 16 - similar.
This is one of the most compact water heaters on the market, which also have the smallest diameter of the smoke channel, which is only 11 cm.
Comfort level
- Gas-fired “Vega” 10 flow heaters are equipped with German fittings, thanks to which the equipment starts already with a water flow of only 2.5 liters in 1 minute.
- This armature provides for automatic maintenance of the set temperature marks of water, which is especially important for instability of pressure (pressure) in the water supply network.
Profitability Options
Columns, such as Vega 10, have one of the highest efficiency indicators in the world - almost 92%. A small but efficient heat exchanger heats the incoming water 15% faster than any similar device of another brand.
Reliability
Design solutions and innovations provide the maximum degree of reliability of all MORA TOP units:
- Moving parts of the device are fenced off from the water environment, therefore leakage in not very dense joints is excluded. In other devices, leaks are possible, which necessitates the replacement of a whole gas-water unit, and this costs a lot of money - sometimes up to half the cost of the entire device.
- Inside the heat exchanger in the tubes there are turbulators that repel scale from the walls of the unit, thereby accelerating heating and prolonging the duration of the device.
- The diameter of the heat exchanger tubes, equal to 18 mm, not only prevents salts from settling on the walls, but also helps to cool the walls of the entire assembly, excluding overheating of the casing.
Security options
For safety reasons, such moments and design features are provided:
- Water overheating limiter in the heat exchanger.
- Combustion return fuse - it will not allow mining to enter the room if the chimney is clogged.
- Special flame fuse, which ensures the health of both burners (main and ignition).
- If there is no water flow, the device will not start the burner.
Additionally
Also, the units of the series are equipped with some technical solutions to facilitate operation:
- Piezoelectric ignition.
- By exhausting combustion products through a chimney having a minimum neck (gas) diameter of only 11.5 cm.
- The possibility of using natural gas.
On a note! Units in the name of which there is a prefix "E", for example 10 E, are equipped with electric ignition.
