Their are two types of hot water cylinders that are compatible with heat pumps,these are the open vented thermal store type and the stainless steel invented cylinder type,both these cylinders are perfect for use with a heat pump.
A open vented thermal store is a cylinder that has been specifically designed for use with a heat pump that will provide the mains pressure for a households hot water.the difference between this type of cylinder and a normal one is that the stored water is constantly hot where as the cold water runs through a heat exchanger which is inside the cylinder
Because the hot water is produced instantly from the cold water supply the water quality will be the same as normal so this means a installer can fit a thermal store cylinder with a heat pump and not need to raise the temperature to prevent bacterial growth.
Thermal stores do not need a pressure or temperature relief valve, which means there is no need to incorporate discharge facilities in the system to keep in check with Part G of the Building Regulations, which covers discharge into soil stacks.
So that was a brief over look at fitting heat pumps to hot water cylinders. All ways check that the cylinder your buying is compatible with heat pumps if its your intention to fit one.I hope today's post was helpful and interesting thanks for reading.
The right Plumbing Supplies and heating systems are so important for the home. Thanks for sharing!
