Solar cylinders
Solar cylinders have been designed specifically for solar thermal applications. Featuring a purpose designed solar coil which allows maximum heat transfer of solar energy into the stored water, the cylinders are suitable for use with a wide range of solar systems now available in the UK and are an efficient and environmentally friendly way of providing domestic hot water. Ultrasteel Solar cylinders also offer the benefit of mains pressure hot water – powerful showers and fast filling baths.
Solar cylinders are available in a range of sizes from 180 to 300 litres and in Direct or Indirect versions. Ultrasteel Solar cylinders are manufactured from high grade Duplex stainless steel and come with a 25 year fully transferable Guarantee on the inner container.
Ultrasteel Solar Cylinders are designed to accept heat input from a renewable/ sustainable (ie: Solar) heat source.
Where this input does not fully meet the desired temperature a guaranteed quantity of water can be heated to an acceptable temperature by the householders traditional heat source of gas, oil or electricity.
The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide document L1A and L1B provides excellent advice in sizing both cylinder designated solar areas and heat exchangers to the surface area of the solar collectors.
