Gas boilers from Protherm
Protherm was founded in 1991 in Slovakia.
Today it is part of the same holding with the recognized flagship - Vaillant, which allows us to confidently talk about powerful technological and consulting support... This condition has a positive effect on the products - with an average price range designed for a mass buyer, the quality of equipment is not inferior to other representatives of this direction.
Gas boilers are one of the types of heating equipment manufactured by Protherm for export. All units are being adapted to the technological conditions of the area where they will be operated.
They are able to withstand power fluctuations, operate at low water and gas pressures.
Advantages of Protherm boilers for home
Not only gas, but also diesel fuel can be used to heat a house. When today it is necessary to purchase a boiler operating on a diesel engine, but in the future it is planned to switch to gas heating, then it is not necessary to purchase two units, since Proterm heating boilers are on sale.
Despite the fact that the models of this manufacturer have different power, by this parameter they compare favorably with heating devices manufactured by competitors. The fact is that a gas boiler for heating a private house Proterm is able to heat a building with an area of about 270 "squares".
In addition, all products from this Slovak company are distinguished by simple and safe operation, as well as easy installation, since boilers of this brand comply with European and international standards.
All heating devices of the Proterm line are characterized by an unusual fuel combustion process. Even experts with extensive experience note its environmental friendliness.
When the Proterm boiler is made, low-temperature cast iron is used - a material that, when heated, minimizes heat loss as efficiently as possible.
Another advantage of these boilers is the presence of special regulators that allow you to independently create the most favorable microclimate in the premises of the house. Owners of a private house using a special temperature sensor can change the amount of heating power. Since the above-described advantages that the Proterm heating boiler have are very significant, the choice of heating equipment by consumers is obvious.
Views
Protherm gas boilers are available in different design and model options and can be divided into several groups that have certain characteristics.
For example, according to the type of installation, boilers are:
- Wall (hinged).
- Outdoor.
By the number of contours:
- Single-circuit (produce only heating of the coolant for the heating system).
- Double-circuit (provide the room with hot water in parallel with the preparation of the heat carrier).
In addition, they differ in the way they are heated.:
- Convection. Heat transfer takes place only in a heat exchanger heated by the flame of a gas burner.
- Condensing. Preheating is carried out in a condensation chamber, where water vapor is precipitated from the exhaust smoke and exhaust gases.
By type of combustion chamber:
- Atmospheric or open. Combustion and smoke extraction are carried out by natural draft.
- Turbocharged or closed. For the process to proceed correctly, a fan is used to supply air to the burner and ensure that the smoke is removed.
NOTE!
Such an abundance of options creates an extremely rich assortment, allowing you to choose the right sample for any conditions and needs.

OVERVIEW OF GAS BOILER PROTHERM LYNX 24 LYNX (31 photos)
"If you are looking for a simple and reliable boiler at an affordable price, choose a Protherm Lynx series gas boiler!" Under this slogan, the Lynx series gas boiler appeared on the Belarusian market. I propose in today's review to get acquainted with the Proterm brand, or rather with the representative of the attached equipment, the Protherm Lynx Lynx 24 gas double-circuit turbocharged boiler with a closed combustion chamber. 24 kW, this power is enough to heat a house with an area of up to 220 - 240 m2. Because the boiler comes with a built-in heat exchanger, then you can not only heat your country house or apartment, but also prepare hot water for washing dishes or taking a bath / shower. Let's get acquainted with the Protherm brand itself (Proterm) at the beginning of our review.
The history of the Protherm brand dates back to 1991 in the city of Prague. Since then, from year to year, the Protherm brand has won an increasing number of fans among users of heating equipment. 2010 - Modernization of assembly lines for wall-mounted gas boilers Panther Gepard, launch of a new assembly line for condensing boilers, presentation of solar technology of the HELIOSET series. The Protherm brand became part of the Vaillant Group, significantly changing its corporate identity.
"Made in Europe": the main production plant for Protherm heating equipment in Slovakia. The plant in Skalice (Slovakia) is the main site for the production of Protherm heating equipment; it manufactures and supplies to the markets of more than 25 countries of the world over 4000 items of products. The assortment assembled at the plant is diverse: wall-mounted and floor-standing gas boilers, solid fuel boilers, industrial boilers, electric boilers, water heaters, buffer tanks, etc. There is a testing laboratory on the territory of the plant, which allows constantly testing products, testing new structural elements and technologies. In addition to our own research and testing, Protherm products are tested annually by foreign testing laboratories. In particular, the heating gas boiler Protherm Lynx Lynx 24 (Proterm Lynx 24) is being tested in Germany.
Wall-mounted gas boilers Lynx are represented by models with a capacity of 24 and 28 kW, equipped with a secondary heat exchanger and occupy an extremely important niche for the Lynx boilers - budget (affordable). It should be noted that the cost of a 24-kilowatt model is lower than the cost of boilers of the Cheetah series of similar power. Thus, boilers Lynx are the most affordable wall-mounted gas boilers of the Protherm brand. "If you are looking for a simple and reliable boiler at an affordable price, choose a Protherm Lynx series gas boiler!" Under this slogan, a gas boiler of the Lynx series appeared on the Belarusian market and in the online store 100kotlov.by
I propose in today's review to get acquainted with the Proterm brand, or rather with the representative of the attached equipment, the Protherm Lynx Lynx 24 gas double-circuit turbocharged boiler with a closed combustion chamber. 24 kW, this power is enough to heat a house with an area of up to 220 - 240 m2.

Sticker with the technical characteristics of the gas boiler Protherm (Proterm) Lynx 24 One of the important questions, where is the production of the gas boiler Protherm (Proterm) Lynx 24. It is the Lynx series that is produced at a plant in Turkey. Quality control in production. The assembly technology of boilers and spare parts for heating and hot water systems of the Protherm brand is organized with particular care and German meticulousness. If you look closely, in the photo on the left there is a stamp, a quality control stamp, most importantly, which country? You will find out below ...
Protherm products have won the hearts of Belarusian consumers with a combination of "price - quality". The quality of the product, the safety of its use and the durability of its work are the result of a scrupulous approach to all production processes, including the quality control process. The production quality management system is organized in accordance with the ISO 9001 standard.
The worker assembling the equipment is personally responsible for the quality of his work. In the event of a malfunction in the boiler, it is always possible to establish when the boiler was assembled, in which shift, and who assembled it.
Moving from one assembly station to another, the plant employees assemble the boiler step by step under the control of the AMS system, moving between the assembly stations. The assembly process control system collects information from all assembly stations, analyzes the received data and makes a decision to interrupt or continue assembly of each boiler individually. If there were problems at the previous stage, or the assembler did not perform some of the necessary actions, the AMS system will not allow the assembly process to continue further and will inform about where the error was made, thereby allowing it to be corrected. Thus, each manipulation of the master is under control, which almost completely excludes the possibility of incorrect assembly of equipment.
Additional finished products from each batch are selected at random and undergo additional testing. If additional testing reveals a manufacturing defect, then the entire batch of boilers is sent for testing.
Such a complex process of quality control in production allows millions of owners of our boilers to rely on its reliability in difficult operating conditions and allows us to rightfully occupy a leading position in the Belarusian market.

Summarize. The boiler itself does not differ from other boilers, in our opinion, in absolutely nothing, the same components (this can be judged by the manufacturer's stickers), the same build quality, if we take individual models, or even an order of magnitude higher. Protherm (Proterm) created a gas boiler in its line corresponding to the expression "price - quality" and its name is Lynx 24 Lynx, ergonomically thought out in European style, reliable in German. Why in German, because the brand is Slovak, a plant in Turkey, and the Germans are responsible for reliability? Everything is very simple, the boilers, as we have already seen in the photo, are made in Turkey, but they are sent to Germany for quality control and only after that they are packed, respectively, the Germans are responsible for the quality. Although the boiler is produced in Turkey, it can rightfully be considered German.

- High cost of spare parts, difficulties with supply in some regions.
- Low level of professionalism among the technical staff of service organizations.
IMPORTANT!
Complaints about the lack of training of service personnel should not be understood as a flaw in the design of Protherm boilers, since the problem is of an organizational and administrative nature.
Device
Gas boilers consist of the following components:
- Gas burner combined with a primary heat exchanger.
- Circulation pump.
- Three-way valve.
- Gas valve.
- Secondary heat exchanger.
- Turbocharger fan.
- Electronic control board with output of settings to the external panel.
- Self-diagnosis sensor system, closed to the control board.
The operation of the boiler is based on the circulation of the heating medium with heating in the primary heat exchanger. The temperature setting is carried out in the three-way valve by partial mixing with the cooled return flow.
Hot water is prepared in a secondary heat exchanger from the heat of the freshly heated extract air. Combustion is maintained naturally or by a turbo fan.
All processes are constantly monitored by sensors that signal problems that have arisen.
What kind of premises is it suitable for?
The vast majority of Protherm devices are designed to work in private homes or similar premises (public, office, retail).
It is possible to select the most successful modification, providing only heating of the heating system, or also performing DHW preparation.
When choosing the best option, one should be guided by functional indicators, as well as monitor the correspondence of the power and area of the room.
Major malfunctions
All possible malfunctions are immediately detected by the sensor system and displayed as an alphanumeric code.
Aggregate errors
arise for various reasons, among which are:
- Open or short circuit of one or another sensor.
- Lack of flame.
- Lack of water.
- Stopping the smoke output.
- Failure of the circulation pump.
- Fan stop, etc.
Most errors cause immediate shutdown of the boiler for safety reasons. Situations are possible when there is no one in the house, there is no one to respond promptly to the appearance of signals.
NOTE!
Therefore, the security system produces an emergency lock, which is reset by the owner upon restart. A complete list of error codes is available in the user manual.
It is a rather lengthy list, and there is no point in listing it entirely.
Owner reviews
We find out what the owners themselves, who are not interested in promoting or creating anti-advertising for boilers, say about Protherm gas units:
No recall found! Please insert a valid revocation ID
Complaints about the poor organization of service are heard everywhere, from the first days of the start of deliveries. Protherm should have been worrying about the state of the repair service for a long time, since the demand and popularity of boilers depends on it.... So far, the reviews about the quality of the technicians' work are extremely negative.
Consumer reviews
As for the reviews about heating boilers, they are rather contradictory. On the one hand, consumers note the rather high practicality, economy and aesthetic appearance of the devices. On the other hand, some complain about their impracticality, noise, high fuel consumption.
Beaver cauldron
Separately, it is worth noting a rather serious reason for taking a closer look at the product more carefully - the impossibility of replacing faulty boiler components due to the lack of those on the heating equipment market.
Many consumers note a rather pleasant price for most models, which are quite suitable for heating small apartments or private houses. In general, having read the reviews, we can say about the positive and negative characteristics of consumers as follows: opinions differed in fact 60/40 (where 60% are absolutely satisfied customers).
So, you were able to independently evaluate the positive and negative sides of Proterm heating boilers. Now you can make the right choice. Good luck!
Price range
The cost of Protherm gas boilers depends on the power and design features. Since the company offers a very wide assortment with a wide choice of design, configuration and capabilities of units, the price range is very wide.
