thermal store with solar help needed
 

can any plumbers out there tell me where I can source this:

210 ltr thermal store
hot water take off done by a heat exchanger
coil at the bottom of the cylinder suitable for solar (15mm coil)
direct feed bosses from a wood burner...

any help much appreciated

Why do you need a coil? The whole point of a thermal store (or a heat bank
as it is in this case, since you're using a heat exchanger for water
takeoff) is that you use the store's water directly.

That's what we do.

We do have a coil too for when there's no sun but since it was all connected
about three weeks ago we've only used the immersion heater a couple of
times.

Try http://www.heatweb.com/ click on the big blue panex button and design
your own - solar,wood, boiler, immersion etc.

thanks for help.

grunff:

want coil so circuit can be filled with antifreeze, not whole store.
also you want a small volume of water in circuit if poss.

wood burner will be direct

thanks

No difference with a plate heat exchanger.

Even less with a plate heat exchnager.

That is true, but more expensive: additional coil in cylinder = £40,
heat exchanger = £100-150

thanks all I'm OK for now.

would recommend heatweb.com for unusual cylinder requirements (until I
receive my estimate maybe?)

cheers

Not a lot at all, in fact buttons, when you look at the efficiencies of the
two.

Not cheap. If you have a specification many other companies can quote.
