Yes, and I'm not unknowledgeable when it comes to showers, what the
British regard as a decent shower wouldn't be acceptable in any other
country.


You've had the experience of every shower in Britain?

I'm sorry I wasn't in when you tried mine, I'd have shown you other uses for
water.

Well it would be, if one happens to be a dirty Brit who doesn't like
showers. OTOH combis can't provide a decent shower.


Thus speaks a man who only thinks in terms of his own gratification in
showering. There are other uses for hot water ...


Mary

If a man wanted gratification in showering he would buy a combi. This one
is inverted.

So that makes a maximum heat leakage of 3160/24 = 132W
However that would likely be on a temperture difference of (say) 70C
versus a plausible difference of (say) 40C.
Also the size for the cylinder might account for (say) 40% more than a
1050x450 cylinder.

I allowed 100W in the back of my mind when making the earlier posts.
Seems I was probably a bit generous.


Yeah, I wouldn't be happy leaving a 150W light bulb on 24/7, but with gas
it's 5p a day so not at the level I'd worry about.


For a 'Hydraflow' cylinder, 125L at 60C :

http://www.chaffoteaux.co.uk/pdf/hydraflo_pb.pdf

it quotes 1.9kWh/24h, say 2.25kWh with the boiler at 80% efficiency,
giving 775kWh/yr.

Though up to half of the year the lost heat could be counted towards
normal heating, so coming out at 387kWh year.

Still I wouldn't say it was minimal, as a good fridge runs to about
150kWh/yr and dishwasher as low as 237kWh/yr.

cheers,
Pete.

When you factor in the low cost of the gas it becomes less significant. My
electricity costs 5 times that of my gas.

So get this shower performance in an average house you either
need a very large cylinder or a grossly oversized (for most

What you have to remember is John lives in a world where baths are half
the normal size that people would choose, and showers are more than
adequate at dog pee flow and temperature. He also lives in a world where
better than 100% efficiency is the norm, and sees no contradiction in that
term.

If you look further, he always quotes maker's advertising as backup to his
views. Others measure their usage and quote from experience.

If a 75 litre cylinder is exhausted after 6 mins a boiler and quick recovery
coil can replenish at 10 litres min while being emptied. So in that 6 mins
@ 60 litres plus 75 litres. So that means a normal bath will be filled no
problem. It is not a matter of debate. It just happens.

I think you lost the thread a little. I gave an example of the know-it-alls
giving bad advise downsizing cylinders. Paul Barker says as 24Kw combi
is more than fine for a shower.

Grossly oversized boiler? We are coming to the one size fits all, around
24kW, using modulation. Aks anyone who has a combi in a flat. The rads are
hot within a few minutes, a great bonus, then it throttles back. You can
get a combi for £350 and not use the DHW section. Ravenheat encourage this.
Many installers do this as combi's are cost effective due to mass take up
and manufacturing.

I'm not arguing re baths. *If* you are of the view that a proper
shower needs 18 or so litres per minute (q.v. an ordinary combi
is totally unequal to the task: not my personal view) then you
need to be able to reheat water at this rate or have enough
storage. On your numbers said shower will start running cold
after 8-9 minutes.

Yet again showing your lack of knowledge about real world design of
anything? Just why would you have a cylinder cupboard open to the loft?

Perhaps you have large holes all over your house. Like in your arguments?

I doubt most would want - or more likey need - to be in a shower with a
decent flow for 10 minutes or so.

Steve - I'm not totally unknowledgeable when it comes to boilers etc ...

as I said, mine does [provide a decent shower]


Yes, and I'm not unknowledgeable when it comes to showers, what the
British regard as a decent shower wouldn't be acceptable in any other
country.

You just can't beat a bucket with holes in the bottom for a good shower


That's true but you need it to be supported and someone to keep the bucket
filled.

My best shower ever was on Old Sarum after an incredibly hot week in the
tent. I saw two trucks side by side with a polythene sheet draped between
them and a girl rejoicing under a hose pipe hanging from over a cab. I asked
if I could do the same, it was glorious!

Oh cold bliss ...

Not if the cupboard ceiling is insulated, you total oaf, most

would
call it an airing cupboard.....


......another here. It depends on how good the insulation is....he

couldn't

Next you'll be claiming that it depends on if the roof has been tiled
or left open to the elements... You utter twit !

Perhaps John might explain how heat 'loss' from a cylinder performs in a
different way than the heat from a radiator in the same room?

Of course given his understanding of physics, I'll not hold my breath
