Hot water storage cylinder - Efficient hot water storage for your system
A hot water storage cylinder is an indispensable component for efficient hot-water preparation in conjunction with heating systems and solar thermal systems. In terms of economy and convenience, it is an impressive solution for providing heated water for heating systems and household applications. Unlike domestic hot water cylinders, a hot water storage cylinder is used for the support of the heating system or for the use of renewable energy sources such as solar thermal energy. They offer an optimal storage solution and are available in various sizes and designs - ideal for single-family homes, apartment blocks or commercial applications.
Making the right choice
When purchasing a hot water storage cylinder, it is important to determine the exact storage requirements. This depends on the size of the household, the individual hot water requirement and the type of heating system.
Variants of hot water storage cylinders
The cylinders are available in different versions, including enamelled cylinders with corrosion protection for robust and cost-efficient use, stainless steel cylinders for maximum corrosion resistance and durability, cylinders with solar heat exchangers for optimum integration into solar thermal systems and combination cylinders that combine hot water storage and buffer tank functions in a single unit, making them ideal for complex heating systems.
Maintenance and care
Regular maintenance of a hot water storage cylinder is crucial to ensure its long-term functionality and efficiency. This includes checking the sacrificial anode, which protects enamelled cylinders against corrosion and should be checked at least once a year and be replaced if necessary, as well as descaling, which removes deposits in regions with hard water, increases the service life and reduces energy consumption, while a professional inspection by an expert ensures that the cylinder functions optimally and any damage can be repaired at an early stage.
