…AND OUT!
HIGH PERFORMANCE ‘COIL-IN-COIL’ HEAT EXCHANGER• High output ratings 16.52kW to
22.38kW
• More efficient transfer of energy
• Fast heat recovery
• Positioned low in the cylinder to achieve more usable hot water• 90-95% compared with 75-80% for
conventional coil
• Cold water inlet diffuser reduces turbulence to minimise mixing of hot and cold water
DUPLEX STAINLESS STEEL CYLINDER • Manufactured from high grade Duplex
stainless steel
• No anode is required
• Superior corrosion resistance – resists
all forms of corrosion including pitting
corrosion, crevice corrosion, uniform
corrosion and stress corrosion cracking
• Post-weld treatment for reliability and
long life
Post-weld treated
No post-weld treatment
INSULATION AND HEAT LOSS
• 50mm thick void free layer of CFC/HCFC-free expanded polyurethane foam lagging
• One-piece insulation cannot separate in transit to ensure effectiveness
• Fully insulated base
• Low standing heat loss
• Environmentally friendly – Ozone Depletion Potential of Zero
– Global Warming Potential of One
• Heat loss figures meet CHeSS Best Practice guidelines for insulation
• Part L 2010 compliant
MINIMAL HEAT LOSS
LONG LIFE IMMERSION HEATERS • Incoloy sheathed for longer
life
• Low watts density for quiet operation
• 3 kW rated– 6kW and 9kW options
available on request
• High quality Titanium immersion heaters available for Commercial / Industrial installations
IMMERSION HEATERS• Albion Ultrasteel units are fitted with immersion heaters as follows:
