Thermal Store
How does a thermal store work?
Thermal Store cylinders work in the opposite way to a conventional
system. The storage cylinder that contains the Primary water is fed by the
Feed & Expansion tank and heated by either a boiler or immersion heaters.
Mains pressure cold water passes through a specially designed Heat Exchanger,
which draws its heat from the thermal store. This water passes through a
thermostatic mixing valve where it is blended to the required temperature
and supplies the hot outlets throughout the house.
Additionally, when heated by a boiler, the THERMflow can use its
thermal store of hot water for an almost instantaneous response when the
space heating is required.
Advantages of a Thermal Store
- ‘Vented’ mains pressure hot water
- No shower pump required
- Instant response to space heating demand
- Energy efficient due to reduced boiler cycling
- Flexibility of siting
- No attic pipes to freeze
- Easy to install
- No head problems
- Low maintenance costs
- Flow rates more than double that of most combi boilers
- Ideal for use in multi boiler and multi fuel applications
