subject: Some Advantages Of Having Unvented Cylinders [print this page] Unvented cylinders can be used by commercial businesses and also by homeowners. Basically these unvented cylinders function because they operate off of the mains water supply instead of using holding tanks. They can provide a high water pressure flow for the structure, and they sometimes use an immersion heater to aide in increasing the water temperature more quickly.
There can be many advantages of installing unvented cylinders.
The biggest advantage is that you do not have to install a large and bulky storage cylinder for the water it heats.
The hot water that you receive when you have the unvented cylinders can have the same pressure as the mains pressure.
You can place unvented cylinders in any location within the structure that you like because they do not require a gravity fed flow to deliver the product to the faucet.
You will not be totally reliant on the boiler when the system also uses an immersion heater to produce the supply you require.
It the immersion heater was to malfunction the components to repair these items are easy to find and they are located on the device in such a manner that they are easily changed out.
You will have choices of a broad range of possible capacities from a small one hundred and twenty liters all the way up to a massive three hundred and ten liters.
They have superb reheat times and they are said to have a high recovery heating coil
You should realize that the combination boiler is an example of the unvented cylinders. While everyone may not have heard of the unvented cylinders it is likely that everyone has heard of the combi boiler system.
A traditional system is vented and they are gravity fed. In these devices the system is fed water and the water is kept under pressure in a header tank that is located in the loft or attic of the structure. The cylinder is heated up by a gravity hot water circuit supplied from the boiler. When central heating is part of this unit it will be provided by a different circuit from the boiler.
The systems that are unvented get their feed directly from the main supply of water entering the home or business. They come as a packaged unit that has all of the necessary safety features and controls that are required. They give the end user an increased amount of water pressure over the pressure that can be supplied by the gravity fed systems.
These devices remove the risk that the structure will suffer from frozen or broken pipes during a harsh winter. This means less maintenance to be done on the items, and less chances that any of the interior materials of the rooms will be damaged from a leaky pipe. There will be no more maintenance for the homeowner to do in the loft. This also means people who have vacation homes will not have to drain their system every time they leave and plan to be gone for a period of time.
Unvented cylinders are a part of the popular supply on demand water heating systems that give you heated water without a storage tank. The professional installation crews from Vaillant can install the unvented cylinders in any location in your home that is convenient for you.
