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

Page 7: Albion Ultrasteel Hot Water Cylinders | Technical Guide

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

Page 9: Albion Ultrasteel Hot Water Cylinders | Technical Guide

• Heat loss figures meet CHeSS Best Practice guidelines for insulation

• Part L 2010 compliant

MINIMAL HEAT LOSS

Page 10: Albion Ultrasteel Hot Water Cylinders | Technical Guide

LONG LIFE IMMERSION HEATERS • Incoloy sheathed for longer

life
