Combi gas boiler storage space economy benefits
Combi gas boiler systems offer many room saving and gas cost-efficiency benefits for the small-scale household. You only need a combi heating boiler and balanced flue to install a full central heating system without any other parts. With the inclusion of copper piping to transfer the hot water to the radiators to heat your room you will be finished. You could be amazed by this and ask whether we had forgotten about some component parts. The hot water storage tank, the feed and expansion cylinder ordinarily put in the loft, the central heating pump and other component components that central heating and hot water systems seem to require.
These component parts are not needed by a contemporary combi gas boiler. You can leave out the hot water storage tank, there is no call for for an loft based feed and expansion tank, the combination boiler also incorporates the other small-scale component parts. Adopting this system means you can save a considerable amount of room.
Combination heating boilers have been fitted for a while. The combination has been more popular in Europe than in the U.K., but is now being fitted more frequently as an alternative to the orthodox wall mounted gas boiler. It is has two main deviations with the system and regular type of gas boilers. The central heating hot water circulation system is sealed. This means that there is no need for a feed and enlargement cylinder in the loft. Incorporation of a hot water storage vessel within the heating boiler also removes any requirement for the hot water storage cylinder.
Home hot water is created on demand, turning on a hot water valve will alert the boiler to this need. Cold water is rapidly heated up by the use of an efficient heat exchanger. Hot water circulating in the heating system is diverted to the heat exchanger. This permits cold mains water to be quickly heated before leaving the hot water tap.
The boiler design gives priority to developing immediate hot water. Once the tap is shut and the need for hot water is removed the system will return to providing hot water to the radiators.
If you do have a storage space problem in your household you should give great consideration to fitting a combination heating boiler when you next exchange your gas boiler.
