Accumulator Tanks - Akvaterm
We also have a distribution agreement with Akvaterm for their accumulator tanks.
Akvaterm tanks have seamless polyurethane insulation which gives extremely low heat loss
They are excellent choice for maintaining heat store when the accumulator tank has to be housed in a garage or an out house where you want to keep heat loss to a minimum. If you were to use thermal imaging when the tank was full of your primary hot water the only heat loss would be with the guide pipes coming to and from the tank.
They can offer tanks from 300 litres to 5000 litres. It is possible to have 2 pressure ratings either 1.5 Bar or 3.0 Bar depending on your installation. An excellent feature is that you can have a DHW coil tested to 10 Bar which can produce 35 litres per minute hot water without any need for an expansion tank on the hot water circuit.
There is the facility to include immersion heaters if required in either 3kW, 6Kw or 10kW depending on the tank capacity.
It is also possible to include a pre-heat coil at the bottom of the tank that can be plumbed to a back up heat source (oil,gas,solar).
The guide pipes are on the side of the tank reduces the height required for installation.
There are also space saving cylinders 810mm that can fit through a standard 850mm doorway and oblong tanks that can be used where there is a height restriction but a good capacity of thermal store is required.
