Heat & Hot Water Cylinder creation
Heat & Hot Water Cylinder - installation

More than a hot water cylinder.

Our Heat & Hot Water cylinders are different from standard hot water cylinders that are only designed, and capable of, providing hot water for bathing, showering & washing.

Like a battery, but storing thermal energy or heat.

Our cylinders are unvented hot water cylinders, with the added ability to be able to provide heating via our patent-protected output coil at the top of the cylinder. Heat & Hot Water Cylinders are not Thermal Stores, although they do store thermal energy or heat.

Heat and Hot Water Cylinder manufacture
Heat and Hot Water Cylinder output

Our top output only coil.

Heat & Hot Water Cylinders are installed exactly the same way as you would install a standard unvented hot water cylinder.

The controls are intended so that the top output only coil only works between your chosen temperature band, ensuring there will always be enough hot water for the day.

Via the 4-port blending valve & pump, the top output-only coil is to be connected to the heating circuit you want to supplement. The cooler the 4-port Esbe valve is set at, the longer the kWhr’s of use.

Heat and Hot Water Cylinders - green home energy
WHY INSTALL A HEAT & HOT WATER CYLINDER?

Benefits of our cylinders

Increase or maximise the use of cheaper overnight or flexible electric tariffs

Increase or maximise the use of your Solar PV or Solar Thermal to include some heating instead of just battery storage or hot water

Reduce the runs cycles or run time of your primary  & most expensive, component of your heating system

For heating of towel rails or designated areas in your home during the Autumn or Spring time when you don’t want or need much

Use any PV export to help warm your home

Help reduce reliance on or the need for heating fuel deliveries

Back-up heating option when your primary heat source breaks down

Low energy buildings that then have a heating option simply by installing a hot water cylinder that isn’t limited to the energy going down the drain

Pasteurisation

In the UK, all unvented hot water cylinders have to be Pasteurised to help protect against Legionella. Pasteurising at 50C will take around 2 hours to kill any legionella present. Pasteurising to around 60C will kill any legionella present even quicker, however, the higher the temperature the water in the cylinder is taken to, the greater the heat loss, especially if the water isn’t going to be used. With a Heat & Hot Water cylinder, that excess temperature after the Pasteurisation process can then be used to heat a towel rail or two via our Output Only Top Coil.
