BOILER FOR HOT WATER AND STEAM
ZIHET Boiler Catalogue
Boilers are stainless-steel tanks equipped with
heating elements for water heating.
Depending on the operating temperature, boilers can
produce hot water or steam.
In some applications, both hot water and steam.
A common application is in the production of
hot water and steam on coffee machines, either
for household and professional purpose, but for
other applications range from steam ironing to spa
equipment, from sterilizers to tumble dryers, from
dishwasher to washing machines.
ZIHET boilers are high performance products offering
outstanding power rates in small spaces.
Reliability and food compliance are keystones of the
products, along with a wide array of customization
options.

The water/steam outlet is a standard G1/4”F threaded fitting in the center
of the upper lid. Peripherally to the upper lid a series of three fittings
are weld in order to allow the boiler to be equipped, on request, with

Perimetral threaded fittings, G1/8”F, can either be standard or special

flexibility for the selection of fittings types.

The inlet of water can also be customized up on the need.
In particular, beside a standard G1/8”F threaded fitting, a G1/8”F with
water spreader is available.
The water spreader prevents the cold water from being injected directly
toward the heating element, therefore avoiding sudden gas formation.

Water level probes
The water level probe is the electrical device that opens and closes in response to liquid level sensed
inside the boiler. During normal operating condition, the probe is screwed up on the upper lid with
the tip positioned precisely at the level that will start the refilling of the boiler or/and at the level that
protects the heater element from running dry.
The user can option up to two probes, for single-probe or multi-probe applications. While the first
provides information as water level is low, the second can be used to stop the refill. Probes are
provided of the same length (147mm), bundled in a separated plastic bag. The user will decide which
one to use as “refill-stop probe” by cutting the excess of the chosen one. Herewith suggested lengths Water level probe
for each boiler capacity:
NTC sensor
NTC sensors is a resistor with negative temperature coefficient, specifically encapsulated to comply
with working conditions of the boiler. It also provides excellent long-term stability and short response
time in high-temperature applications such in the coffee machines.

Insulation
A proper insulation is essential to save energy, as it works as a barrier to heat losses. The ignition of
the heater element results from a temperature drop that can be thwarted by an effective insulating
wrapping.
Melamine is a material commonly used as insulation for pipes and ductwork as well as the core of
the insulating wrapping of the boiler. Foamed melamine is ennobled by a TNT outer layer that allows
to wear the coat around the boiler body by mean of a Velcro strip. As for flame resistance, the TNT
insulation is compliant with DIN 4102 – UNI9177 B1 - Class 1.
Melamine + TNT
Insulating coat
Dummy plug
Boiler fittings are not capped by default. Should the user prefer to cap fittings, a set of plugs are
available as optional. Standard plugs are G1/4” and G1/8”, in a set of combination that can match any
possible choice.
Caps are bundled in a separated plastic bag.
Dummy plug set
Safety thermostat (manual reset)
It is the device that senses the temperature of the boiler body and opens the circuit, automatically
disconnecting power, when the working temperature exceeds the designed set point.
The cut-off thermostat is therefore a safety device available as option, with proper set point
temperatures that comply with the production of hot water of steam.
Optional thermostat includes the cables connection to the power terminals of the boiler.
Both phases of the heater are protected by the thermostat.

BOILER FOR HOT WATER AND STEAM
Configuration
Each configured Boiler has a unique 20 characters code that embeds all selected options. Note that in order to allow the
configuration to be quoted the 21st character is necessary.
Example code:
The code refers to a Boiler for 230V 50Hz supply, 0,7 liters of capacity, with standard fittings on both the upper lid and fitting with
water spreader on the lower lid, NTC sensor, melamine insulation, 1/8” dummy plug and a 145°C cut off thermostat, whose quote
is required for a 50pcs delivery batch.
List of possible configuration
Below a list of possible configured boilers with default options. For further configurations, such as boilers with double water level
probe, dummy plugs or with different perimetral fittings combination, please refer to BoPlam configurator.
