Domestic Gas and Oil Boilers Explained

A basic consideration when choosing a boiler is whether you need a
traditional type which works in conjunction with a hot water storage
cylinder, providing hot water to several taps simultaneously.

The amount of hot water is limited to the size of the cylinder and it’s
ability to recover the temperature when it is exhausted.

Traditional systems require not only a storage cylinder but also a tank
in the loft space to allow the water circulating in the system to expand.
In many homes, the space required to achieve this is limited and a
combination boiler becomes a better alternative.

A COMBINATION boiler or ‘COMBI’ heats water instantaneously
whenever you turn on a hot tap so you will never run out of hot water.

Another advantage is that you will not need a separate storage cylinder
or expansion tank. This saves on space, is easier to install and often
less expensive. However; the hot water delivery rate of most
combination boilers will not match that of a traditional system unless
you install an ‘ACV’ which delivers hot water at mains water pressure.

The range of ACV boilers is ideal for those homes with a high hot water
demand ie; en-suites and shower rooms with body jets are the type of
system an ACV is designed to cope with at a very high flow rate. For
more information see the Commercial section and the Unvented
Cylinder page.

You may only need hot water from the taps in the wash basin and
bathroom basin, in this case a MULTIPOINT would be suitable.

Another consideration is a SYSTEM boiler, this provides a compact
solution where conventional open vented systems are impossible.
The system boiler has a built in pump, pressure relief valve and
expansion vessel. This negates the need for a separate expansion
tank in the loft space and is therefore ideal for installation in flats or
where a dry roof space is required. There is new legislation regarding
installation of domestic boilers which states that all boilers have to be
CONDENSING – we can also provide details of these if required.

This type of boiler has been designed with a large heat exchanger to
lower emissions of Co2 and NOx into the atmosphere and saving the
consumer money with reduced fuel bills. The concept reduces the
amount of air intake needed to combust which ensures maximum
combustion efficiency and thus dramatically reducing the emissions.
The flue gases are cooled to below 54 degrees Celsius which causes
a chemical reaction when the water vapour in the products of
combustion condenses. The chemical reaction releases the latent
heat of vapourisation into the system and therefore increases the boiler
efficiency. This is normally lost into the atmosphere via the flue. So
basically the flue gases are in effect recycled therefore getting as much
energy out of the boiler as possible.
