A total hot
water package
The BoilerMate BP is an open vented thermal store that does not
require expensive safety valves and it provides mains pressure
hot water. The BoilerMate BP is suitable for use with a gas or
an oil boiler and the heating system can be either open vented
or sealed. It is also suitable for upgrading existing
traditional hot water systems.
Mains
pressure hot water
BoilerMate BP thermal stores provide:
• Mains pressure hot water giving ‘power shower’ performance
• Up to 22 litres per minute filling a standard bath in 3-4
minutes
• A dry roof space eliminating the risk of freezing pipes/tanks
in winter
• Increased system efficiency, reducing running costs. |

|
Low cost installation/maintenance
Easy to install BoilerMate BP can be fitted to existing systems,
including the existing boiler and controls, where appropriate. Unlike
unvented cylinders, BoilerMate BP does not require expensive safety
controls or the need to plumb temperature and pressure relief pipework
to outside. External expansion vessels are not required and wiring is
the same as any traditional Y, S or W plan system. BoilerMate BP thermal
stores do not require any annual maintenance.
The BoilerMate BP is supplied without any system kit, which can be
purchased as optional extras or be provided by the installer. The base
unit is suitable for either open vented or sealed heating systems with
the appropriate system kit.
BS6700: 1997 states that with unvented cylinders, the “maintenance
and periodic easing of temperature relief valves is particularly
important”. This is a landlord’s responsibility in tenanted properties
and annual checks must be carried out by a CITB trained person or
installer, having G3 approval. As BoilerMate BP is vented and therefore
inherently safe, there is no requirement for a safety discharge, and it
is not subject to Building Control Regulations – thus simplifying
installation and system maintenance enormously for the landlords or
homeowners. |
BoilerMate BP
for use with gas or oil boilers and renewable energy
BoilerMate BP is a mains pressure vented hot water thermal store
suitable for open vented and sealed heating systems. The unit can be
fitted with a conventional ‘S’ plan, ‘Y’ plan or a control system of
your choice, and the controls can be plumbed inside the appliance giving
a clean finish within the airing cupboard.
• Header tank can be sited remotely
• Insulated in high performance metal cased foam |
How the
BoilerMate BP works
The BoilerMate BP thermal storage system is supplied with primary water
from the boiler which heats the store via a primary coil. Secondary
water flows directly from the cold mains into a secondary coil where it
is heated by the store before being delivered to the taps. |

Notes:
1. The appliance is supplied on a 100mm high installation base and comes
complete with a separate top up cistern. This can be installed with or
without an overflow/warning pipe as required.
2. An allowance for the top up cistern and the 100mm installation base
are both included in the minimum cupboard dimensions.
Please Note: Where
the mains water hardness exceeds 200ppm provision should be made to
treat the feed water to reduce the rate of accumulation of lime scale.
The optional factory fitted in-line scale inhibitor should be specified
at the time of order for hardness levels between 200 and 300 ppm (mg/l).
Where the water is very hard ie 300ppm (mg/l) and above the optional
polyphosphate type scale inhibitor should be specified at the time of
order. |

Thermally advanced
It is not widely appreciated that uncased foam insulated cylinders can
lose up to 40% of their insulation value within weeks of manufacture and
can emit dangerous smoke if involved in a fire and therefore the
BoilerMate BP has been designed with an outer metal case. As with all
Gledhill cylinders there is no release of ozone depleting substances or
harmful emissions. |
|
Cold and hot water distribution design – all models
BoilerMate BP models are designed to be fed
directly from the mains. They fulfil the requirements of Water
Regulations and therefore do not require a check valve to be fitted to
the supply pipe. The performance of the BoilerMate BP is directly
related to the adequacy of the cold supply to the dwelling. This must be
capable of providing for those services which could be required
simultaneously and the maximum demand should be calculated. BoilerMate
BP will operate at dynamic pressures as low as 1.5 bar (at the
appliance) which must be available when local demand is at its maximum,
but the preferred range is between 2 and 3.5 bar. As a general
guideline, although a 15mm external service may be sufficient for the
smaller dwelling with one bathroom, a 22mm service is preferred (25mm
MDPE) and should be the minimum for larger dwellings. |
|
Water treatment
The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide published in May 2006 requires a
water treatment device to be fitted where the hardness is greater than
200ppm. Full details are given in the Design & Installation manual
supplied with all BoilerMate BP units. |
Optional plastic pipework – all models
This appliance is suitable for use with plastic pipework as long as the
material is recommended for the purpose by the manufacturer and is
installed fully in accordance with
their recommendations. |
