I have recently had the boiler and indirect (vented) Hw cylinder replaced and they did a reasonable job, but I was not specific enough about the new cylinder size, and being a narrow airing cupboard they installed only a CenterCyl HE85 to replace the 42x18 cylinder. In theory, according to the cylinder manufacturer, this should do the job, but the Drayton stat is very slow acting and has an 8C differential, so although in theory it should be fairly high recovery, it takes a long time to re-heat.
I can manage with this small cylinder, and it may be cheaper to run, but is there anything that can be done to speed up the re-heating response. All of the other cylinder stats I have looked at also have a large differential. I realise the current trend is for energy saving at all costs, so the systems are deliberately designed not to continually keep topping up the cylinder temperature, but this is at the cost of useability for systems with small cylinders, which must be more common now.
