None of the dangers of unvented
mains pressure systems
Thermal stores (or Heat Stores) are fast becoming the
preferred way to create mains pressure hot water without the dangers
associated with unvented systems. The Torrent thermal store is so
easy and safe to install it is not governed by the G3 Building
Regulations in the UK. What's more, if you have a suitable incoming
cold water main, retrofitting the TORRENT is simple way to convert a
domestic system from gravity to mains pressure.
Because there are no dangers
associated with the TORRENT, such as pressure or relief valves, the
cylinder does not require annual servicing like its unvented
counterparts. With no moving parts you can expect long and
trouble-free service from your Torrent.
ELECTRIC ONLY Option
In situations where no gas or solid
fuel source is available the Torrent MultiFuelStore OV can be
used exclusively from the two 3kW electric immersion elements which
will provide both hot water and heating for the property. The
obvious application is apartments where no gas main is available but
this could also be appropriate where electricity is available from a
renewable or low carbon source.
Off peak cheap rate economy tariff electricity
If connected to the
standard grid then the thermal store is the perfect solution to
maximise useage of an off peak tariff where arrangements should be
made to power the lower immersion element in order to minimise the
running costs. |
