The safe way to
provide mains pressure hot water
A thermal Store is the safe way
to supply mains pressure hot water to the outlets in
your property. Inherently safe by virtue of always being
vented, a Thermal Store does exactly as its
name suggests - It stores thermal energy.
This is done by using the water
contained within the cylinder as the storage medium,
rather like a car battery uses acid to store electrical
charge. By immersing a coil within the cylinder, mains
pressure water passing through the coil rapidly picks up
heat as it passes through - exiting as mains pressure
hot water. Simple genius!!
Because the cylinder is never
under pressure (because it is always vented to
atmosphere via the F&E tank) it negates the risk of
explosion - something an unvented cylinder must address
with pressure relief equipment.
Unvented hot water cylinders
come under the G3 Building Regulations. Vented Thermal
Stores do not because there is no danger associated with
them.
Unvented cylinders require
qualified installation and an annual service to ensure
pressure relief equipment is functioning correctly. A
Thermal Store can be installed by any competent person
and requires no annual service. Delightfully simple,
delightfully safe!
Replace Boilermate products and Albion
Mainsflow Indirect
The indirect
pattern (TSiC) Twin Coil without
the integrated feed and expansion tank has to be fed
with a remote F and E tank but can be sited anywhere in
the property.
The lower coil can be connected to a sealed system
boiler in a Y plan, thus only one pump is needed. The
store remains vented, with the contents of the store
used as a medium for heat storage and transfer only.
These replace like for like Boilermate products and
Albion Mainsflow Indirect. They can also replace a
conventional vented copper cylinder, thereby changing a
gravity hot water system to a mains pressure hot water
system with consummate ease.
Stainless Steel
with a 10 year guarantee
The units look smart too, with a wipe-clean white
appliance finish, and the insulation is 60mm
foam injected for maximum efficiencies.
Stainless steel construction offers a lightweight
long life product. The thermal store
carries a 10 year guarantee, the parts are guaranteed
for two years. The stores meet the HWA
specification and the Building Regulations.
