Newark Cylinders has launched the Heat Geek Mini Store – a range of super-compact shell & tube heat exchangers, designed by Heat Geek.
At 1/4 to 1/3rd the size of standard cylinders, the Heat Geek Mini Stores offer installers and homeowners a highly viable back up option for decarbonising homes, in cases where installing the market leading HG Series Cylinder, or any other cylinder on the market, just isn’t possible.
Renewable sources of energy need somewhere to store the hot water that they produce, as they don’t have the extreme power density of gas and, therefore, have to heat the water more slowly. However, 22m homes in the UK either don’t have a hot water storage cylinder, or don’t have room for one. As a result, some households are struggling to decarbonise their heating.
The Heat Geek Mini Store also make gas boilers the most efficient they can possibly be on hot water. There is now no good reason not to decarbonise your heating system, as soon as you can afford to.
Adam Chapman, Founder, Heat Geek, said:
The Mini Store range is not just for heat pumps though, because they can transfer full power at a low temperature. Gas boilers can be used at under a 45°C flow temperature with these, possibly as low as 40°C, which will give the highest efficiency gas hot water in the world but with HUGE outputs comparable to a 250-300l hot water cylinder.
Key facts:
- Operating with flow temperatures as low as 40°C, the Heat Geek Mini Store is ideal for use with heat pumps.
- The Heat Geek Mini Store can provide a much higher flow rates than a standard combination boiler, allowing up to three showers to be run simultaneously.
- It can achieve a recharge time which is unmatched by any standardised hot water storage solution that is currently available.
- The Heat Geek Mini Store has a compact design, making it possible to fit into almost any property – in kitchen cupboards, small airing cupboards, under-stairs cupboards, low roof spaces, etc.
- For added versatility, it can also be wall-mounted if needed.
- Reversible design through inclusion of ringstand on both ends of cylinder.
- Inclusion of 4 x ½” F BSP provide installers with multiple options for venting and draining points
