TORRENT MULTIFUEL SP thermal store

The Torrent MultiFuelStore SP is intended to operate in conjunction with a sealed system boiler as its primary energy source, introducing heat to the cylinder via a heat exchanger (boiler coil).

The cylinder is fitted with tappings for a woodburning or solid fuel stove (with back boiler capability) as standard. The tappings can be blanked off if not required at the time of installation.

The Torrent MultiFuelStore SP provides high-performance mains pressure hot water.

The central heating circuit is normally supplied directly from the boiler although an auxiliary heating circuit can be connected from the store in which case the solid fuel source will provide energy to the auxiliary heating circuit. Obviously, the energy output that can be provided by the auxiliary heating circuit will be limited to the energy input from the solid fuel appliance.

An immersion element is provided and it is normally envisaged that this will be used as an emergency electric back-up for hot water and to provide emergency energy to the auxiliary heating circuit. However, if a low carbon or renewable electricity source is available then this could be connected to the immersion element to provide heat input to the thermal store, decreasing the use of the fossil fuel boiler and hence reducing running costs.
