[SafeGasInstall]

if you had to install one of this Unvented cylinders 400L

what would you install ??

Would you go for 30kw system or 40kw heat only ?

 

[SimonG]

Whats the coil rating and whats recovery times like?

 

[Gray0689]

why do you need 400l ?? thats a lot of hot water

 

[SafeGasInstall]

job is at first stage where is boiler and system upgrade from ideal mexico to sealed system ! later there will be 5 bathrooms !
how do you calculate coil rating and recovery times ?

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I recommended 300L twin coil solar capable cylinder with 30 CDI WB, met customer today he is after 400 L cylinder

[SimonG]

Could try 2 cylinders!

 

[SafeGasInstall]

good idea but space is limited as they going to build a external boiler room for this purpose

 

[Bartdude]

Get in touch with the manufacturer,they'll be able to give you all the figures. I would guess you will be fitting secondary circulation on a system that size too.

I had to go 2 cylinders recently. First phase was 150l for the converted stables 1 bathroom, kitchen, utility and cloakroom. Secomd phase 250l 2 ensuites, master bathroom and cloakroom, over spec but phase 2 is for b & b and def didn't want to run short.

5 bathrooms between 5 people I'd be happy with a 300l cylinder, most cylinders will recover 75% of volume within 20 minutes.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

Yes there will be secondary return and graundfos pump , on second stage of job , as for now customer wants just new boiler and cylinder install and connect to existing hot supply ! Going to upgrade mains to 25 MDPE and new gas as gas meter is getting relocated out side building !

that is what I told them 300L but twin coil and will recover even quicker but they are willing to go large as £ is not an issue for them ,just hope all customers were like them

just to bring this up as is hot area for my next quote ! any one of you installed single 400L twin coil solar capable cylinder ???
if so please have your thoughts about it ,or i will go and fill it up with some Dihydrogen Monoxide

 

[PlumbBobBob]

you'll be sorry if you use that Dihydrogen Monoxide, you know how dangerous it is stan.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

it probably will take hours removing it after that man early on was a one of a kind ,wasn't he !!!

 

[PlumbBobBob]

i thought mr underfloor heating was a one off, but there are obviously more of them out there. i wonder what the next one will want ?

Ive never fitted a 400L cylinder, but have fitted 500L twin coil tanks, also fitted 500L tank in tanks theyre fun the bottom half of the tank is buffer tank and the top half is DHW
