Mains pressure hot water from a vented Electric Thermal Store

 

Replacement for Gledhill PULSACOIL

Perfect for flats and apartments. The electrically heated, vented thermal store that creates hot water directly from a mains cold water supply.

Totally safe, totally silent.

The ADVANCE ETS cylinder is manufactured from stainless steel with a 10 year warranty. It is a self contained vented Thermal Store that quietly converts cold mains water to hot mains pressure water in an instant when you open a tap.

Only requiring a cold water feed and an electrical supply, the ETS cylinder is ideal for apartments and flats where it is impossible to achieve a decent head of water, rendering traditional gravity hot water systems useless.

Being electrically heated, the ADVANCE ETS can utilise the beneficial tariffs of 'off-peak' electricity if available.

Thermal stores are the perfect choice for buildings with multiple occupancy. An unvented hot water cylinder requires a pressure discharge vent pipe to the outside of the building - a thermal store does not. Simply put, because a thermal store operates at atmospheric pressure there's no potential for a dangerous pressure to develop, therefore there's nothing to vent and no risk of explosion.

With no need for a pressure discharge pipe, the  thermal store can be sited anywhere within the property.

Unlike other Thermal Stores, the ADVANCE ETS is self contained. No need for a separate feed and expansion tank, the ETS contains its own.

No need for complex electronic controls, the ETS is gadget free. No pumps, no circuit boards.

Because it is inherently safe, Thermal storage technology is not governed by G3 Building Regs either. No need for a specialist installer, they are so safe these can be lawfully fitted by any competent person.

Simple to install and easy to maintain.

Advance Aplliance ETS Electric thermal store cylinder

A feature of all thermal stores is a Feed & Expansion (F&E) vessel whose purpose is to keep the store full of water and negate evaporation. Some manufacturers employ a separate plastic tank which must then be plumbed to the thermal store cylinder. The ADVANCE ETS incorporates the F&E vessel as an internal compartment - doing away with the additional space needed to site a remote tank, associated additional plumbing and the requisite pipe work.

Keeping the F&E compartment filled can be achieved by one of two methods.

ADVANCE ETS with manual fill

A periodic inspection of the sight glass will indicate when the water level requires topping up. This can be done manually using a filling loop as and when necessary. Or

 

ADVANCE ETS with Auto-fill Isolation kit

This is an automated self-managing top up system. The level of water in the F&E compartment is constantly monitored and kept at the correct level, drawing water directly from the cold water supply to the cylinder. Cleverly, this model does not require an overflow to be fitted. In the unlikely event of an 'over-fill' the water to the cylinder is immediately shut off, thereby negating the need for an overflow pipe.

Schematic of how an ETS thermal store works

So, how does an ADVANCE ETS thermal store work?

Within the body of the the cylinder is the main storage chamber where a volume of cold water is stored and heated. This water remains in the store (rather like the acid in your car battery) and is charged with thermal energy (heat).

A  heat exchanger (the coil) through which cold water is passed is immersed in the hot water within the store.

As you call for hot water by opening an outlet (e.g. a tap), cold mains water flows down the pipe passing through the heat exchanger coil and is rapidly heated by the stored hot water in which the coil is immersed. The process imparts stored heat to the cold mains water which emerges as hot water.

The output temperature of the hot water is regulated by passing it through a thermostatic blending valve which ensures hot water can only be delivered at a safe temperature.

Clever, simple and safe! Mains pressure hot water from an open vented store of hot water.

The ADVANCE ETS is fitted with two immersion heaters. A typical installation will have one heater as the off-peak heat source, the other heater being used as a manual boost if extra hot water is required during the day.

A separate programming device may be required to control the on, off and boost times of the immersion heaters

Why have the ETS Isolation Kit?

A thermal store requires an F&E (Feed and Expansion) compartment on the top. This does nothing more than ensuring the lower compartment (the thermal store) stays topped up. It is important that the level of water in the store remains full. Because the store is open vented a small amount of evaporation will take place over time and without the F&E the store would eventually run dry.

The standard model ETS requires a manual inspection from time to time to ensure there is water in the F&E compartment. Filling is an easy operation achieved by opening a small tap on the front of the cylinder until the requisite level can be seen in the sight glass.

However, the ETS models with Isolation Kit does this for you automatically. This is achieved by having a live water feed to the F&E compartment which is controlled by a level sensor. As the level drops the live feed automatically tops it up. You never need to worry about checking.

But what happens if something goes wrong and the F&E compartment over-fills? This is where the isolation kit steps in to cut the water supply to prevent over-flow. Clever! Even more clever is the fact that no overflow pipe is required. In the unlikely event of a problem the water supply to the cylinder is isolated, thereby informing you that something needs attention.

The ETS Isolation Kit provides peace of mind that your unit will always be functioning at optimum performance without you having to conduct periodic checks. This makes the ETS with Isolation Kit ideal in situations where for example a tenant in a rental property is unlikely to check, or where the home occupier might be forgetful or incapable of conducting periodic checks. After all, why give yourself something else to do when you can simply automate it?

As the ETS requires no overflow (neither the Standard or Kit models) it can be located within a property where similar appliances (that need an overflow) couldn't be installed.

Please note: The isolation kit is a factory fitted option and must be ordered with cylinder. It cannot be purchased separately or added after installation.

Notes:

  1. Suggested models are only a rough guide. Everything depends on hot water usage patterns and expectation of the individual.

  2. An external 'off-peak' controller (programmer) must be used to switch/supply electricity to the immersion heaters.
