This doesn't mean that system boilers are only meant to be used in
systems with pressurised hot water storage.

As mentioned before, a system boiler is just a regular sealed system
boiler with the inclusion of a pressure vessel, pump, and a pressure
release value already plumbed and wired within the casing of the
boiler.

This is mainly just to make installation into a new sealed system, or
an existing open system thats being converted to a sealed system,
simpler, quicker and cheaper.

The main disadvantage is that you cant then choose the size of pump
and pressure vessel to suit a non typical system, and the case of the
boiler is typically a fair bit bigger.
