Introducing RM... MT OUR RN of unvented products s we plan and prepare this, the new edition of our corporate sales catalogue I realise five years have now passed since we produced our first cylinder under the RM ylinders banner. The last five years have passed so quickly in an absolute whirlwind of activity, it seeming only yesterday we proudly shipped our first cylinder to the customer. Our initial product offering of open vented copper cylinders has quickly been complimented by the readily accepted addition of the quastel stainless steel open vented cylinder bringing traditional storage systems right up to date with 21st century materials. In the unvented storage sector our popular Stelflow range of cylinders has grown to include storage up to 600 litres providing an enhanced compatibility in water storage not only with gas, oil and electricity but also with the growing market of solar renewables. Specified demand of the, an unvented storage cylinder specifically designed to meet the exacting needs of the new build sector has gratifyingly exceeded our forecasts. Our new unvented cylinder, the Prostel, launched with this edition of the product catalogue will fill a much needed gap in market indicated by our customer research. nother important growth area within our business portfolio is the continued expansion of our valued OM customer base and it is of immense pride for us when such a customer trusts RM to produce products to their exacting design and specification. In conjunction with an ever growing product and customer portfolio the company has made significant investment into both staff and equipment ensuring that in all areas of our business we provide professional, efficient and effective products and service. This our 5th anniversary year will celebrate the opening of a 5000 sq. ft. extension to our stainless steel production facility which will provide both increased levels of production and further improvements in our service.

RM Mainsboost & harger Unit... Improving flow rates & pressure on any system Unvented cylinders rely on reasonable mains pressure and flow rates to provide adequate performance at the taps. In some instances water demand is so high the water supply networks struggle to provide the water flow and pressure necessary, which has a significant impact on the performance of showers and taps. This problem can be overcome in two ways. irstly using the RM Mainsboost accumulator to improve poor flow rates, and the RM harger unit to boost pressure. The fully patented RM Mainsboost increases flow by being charged by the incoming mains supply and then awaits discharge when water is required at the tap. The RM harger unit, again patented, solves the problem of low water pressure without the need for large, expensive break tanks. This in simple terms, when used with the RM Mainsboost, is a pump that acts as a trickle charger to the accumulator which then acts as the battery storing the pressure for when the water is required.

Introducing RM nviroyl... ir source & round source Heatpump ylinder RM ylinders also offer a now well established nviroyl cylinder range. These systems encompass all the benefits of stored unvented hot water in a Stainless Steel vessel while using plate to plate heat transfer to give exceptional performance. The system is built around a specially designed ylinder which still comes with a 25 year guarantee. Most indirect cylinders are designed for use with space heating boilers and their heat exchanger coils are optimised for primary flow temperatures in the region of 80 o. When using heat pumps the maximum available primary flow temperatures are often well below this level. The majority of ir Source and round Source heat pumps will only give a maximum flow temperature of around 50 o, some will go up to 60 o but this is usually accompanied by a fall in the coefficient of performance (OP) to a level where the overall efficiency may be significantly compromised. or traditional boiler applications the most popular form of heat exchanger is the coil type. In the main these coils are unsuitable to cope with the lower flow temperatures and the cyclical way in which Heat Pumps operate. The plate heat exchanger method offers a viable solution, which still allows for the delivery of mains pressure hot water from a stainless steel, 25 year guaranteed vessel. 11
RM nviroyl System Options... N nviroyl for any system design Heat transfer rates at a low primary temperature of typically twice that of a standard coil. Prevents excessive cycling of the heat pump thus improving efficiency and reducing wear and tear due to stop start operation. llows the stored water to be brought up within a couple of degrees of the flow temperature without cycling. Improves stratification within the hot water. Heat transfer can be tuned to match the heat pump by varying the secondary flow rate. In hard water areas allows the heat exchanger to be descaled or replaced easily. The cylinders have an OP of 0 & a WP of 1. Heatpump nviroyl nviroyl Pack ir Source Heating ircuit This method of piping allows the nvirocyl cylinder to be used on its own in conjunction with a buffer store for space heating applications. Heatpump & Solar Solar Panels This method of piping allows the nvirocyl cylinder to be used in conjunction with solar panels as well as a buffer store for space heating. nviroyl nviroyl Pack ir Source Heating ircuit oiler Heatpump & oiler This method of piping allows nviroyl nviroyl Pack ir Source Heating ircuit the nvirocyl cylinder to be used in conjunction with a boiler that will contribute along side the ir Source to space heating. 12

RM Solar Thermal... renewable solutions for modern housing RM 10 The standard Homelow10 panel sits at the head of the collectors in this range and is one of the most popular panels sold in the market place. It links both quality, performance, and guarantee (10 Years) with a cost effective sales price due to RM s agressive buying policy and low overheads. The Panel is a popular choice on new build as well as existing domestic installations and because the panels can be fitted 10 in series, they are also suitable for use in commercial applications and swimming pools. Like the rest of the Homelow10 range this panel can be fitted to all roof types, flat or pitched and we even have an frame available for gable end wall mounting. lso available are full in roof flashings to suit all tile types. RM homeflow20 The RM Solar Homelow20 panel is a world leading, vertically mounted flat plate collector. This panels has been constructed using top quality materials and manufacturing techniques which results in an unbeatable 20 year guarantee. This guarantee offers any customer many benefits, peace of mind, real payback opportunities, as most panels on the market only have a 10 year guarantee or less. The Homelow20 also has a much smaller carbon footprint thanks to its longevity of life. The panels are designed to have a 35 year life span. Like the 10 the panels can be mounted to virtually any roof type and are available with in roof flashings suitable for any standard roof coverings.
