TORRENT ECO OPEN VENTED THERMAL STORE PROVIDING HEATING AND ONE NAME. EVERY SOLUTION. WWW.GLEDHILL.NET
WHAT IS A THERMAL STORE? A THERMAL STORE IS THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR A HOME S HEATING AND REQUIREMENTS. TORRENT OFFERS MORE OPTIONS THAN ANY OTHER STORE OR CYLINDER, AND IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE HEATING COSTS BY OFFERING COMPLETE FLEXIBILITY FOR HOUSEHOLDERS TO USE MULTIPLE ENERGY SOURCES. The hot water within the store circulates around the heating system to heat the property, while mains cold water is instantaneously heated through a plate heat exchanger, to provide hot water. All our Torrent models are open vented, enabling uncontrolled heat sources such as woodburning stoves to be used. BENEFITS OF THERMAL STORES PROVIDE USE FOR BOTH HEATING AND NO ANNUAL MAINTENANCE OR SAFETY CHECK REQUIREMENT NO DISCHARGE PIPEWORK NO RISK OF LEGIONELLA NO G QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT CONTENTS 0.

TORRENT ECO THE TORRENT ECO IS MANUFACTURED FROM COPPER, BY OUR TRAINED COPPERSMITHS, WITHIN GLEDHILL S EIGHT NATIONWIDE MANUFACTURING DEPOTS. This provides the flexibility for homeowners to select the thermal store which best suits their requirements, allowing them to maximise the available heat sources, whether they are traditional boilers, electric immersions, or increasingly popular alternative energy fuel sources. The cylinder is open vented, enabling uncontrolled heat sources such as woodburning stoves to be used. WHICH PRODUCT DO I NEED? OUR SELECTION CHART BELOW WILL HELP YOU IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE TORRENT ECO MODEL FOR YOUR INSTALLATION. To use the chart, identify the available heat sources for your cylinder in each section, and follow the lines to identify the model required. The option to add solid fuel tappings to utilise wood burning stoves or biomass boilers is available on the full range of Torrent ECO products. DOES THE SITE HAVE: ELECTRIC HEAT SOURCE?

This can be adjusted at the time of specification. Vent pipes shown through the side of the feed and expansion tank may not be suitable for all systems. Installers must check suitability. The standard open vented store relies on a feed and expansion tank suitably sited above the highest radiator point to provide sufficient head for the system. As the domestic hot water is at mains pressure, the Torrent ECO Solar itself can be sited anywhere in the property. Provision is also made within the design for a sealed heating/boiler circuit with the heat exchanger provided which would then operate as a conventional cylinder. Although this would reduce the potential for utilising the solar energy in the HEATING CIRCUIT, it would mean that both the Torrent and the feed and expansion tank can then be sited anywhere in the property, as the feed and expansion is only being used to fill the store with water.

If the intention is that the heat pump will be used to provide the majority of the hot water with minimum boost from another heat source then consideration should be given to choosing a larger model of Torrent ECO HP appliance. See the design installation and servicing instructions for equivalent volumes at different charge temperatures. If the immersion heater is to be used as the hot water boost a suitable control system should be installed to ensure that the heat pump has fully charged the appliance before the boost immersion heater is allowed to operate. This will ensure the most efficient and cost effective use of the system.
