What is a BoilerMate 2000?

The boilermate 2000 has a thermal store of hot water which is heated by a conventional boiler. Inside there is a complexed printed circuit board controlling the main operation of the unit in conjunction with 3 temperature sensors and 3 circulating pumps.

What type of boiler is a BoilerMate?

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.

What is a BoilerMate a class?

The principle of a BoilerMate A-Class is to separate the heat generator e.g. a boiler from heat emitters (radiators) by a thermal store, which evens out the fluctuating demands for heating and hot water.

What is a BoilerMate tank?

® Indirect-Fired Water Heaters. Amtrol invented the first indirect-fired water heater, using the existing energy in a boiler system to minimize fuel use and maximize hot water output.

How does a Pressurised hot water system work?

An unvented cylinder is connected directly to the mains water supply. It uses electricity or gas to heat water to a pre-set temperature. The act of heating water causes it to expand, which creates pressure within the cylinder. That pressure pushes the water outward throughout your home’s pipes.

What is a Boilermate 2?

Introduction. The BoilerMate is used to provide improved space heating as well as a mains pressure hot water supply system for use with any boiler sited remotely. A report by the Cranfield Institute of T echnology found that heat storage systems give a potential for energy savings of between 5% and 15%.

How does a Boilermate 2 work?

The principle of BoilerMate is to separate the heat generator (e.g. the boiler) from heat emitters by a thermal store, which evens out the fluctuating demands for heating and hot water.

How long does an amtrol Boilermate last?

An indirect water heater should last 30 years with a minimum of maintenance compared to conventional water heaters at 10 or so.

How long does an amtrol BoilerMate last?

How long do unvented cylinders Last?

An unvented hot water cylinder generally lasts for 30 plus years when fitted to the highest standard. If your cylinder is beginning to leak water, then it is time to replace it. At any point, the leaking water can get worse and cause substantial damage to your property.

Why have a Pressurised heating system?

Pressurised Central Heating Systems Mains water is heated directly, rather than in a hot water tank, which means a reduction in wastage while saving space over conventional systems.

How do Gledhill boilers work?

Cold water enters the heater, is warmed, and then recycled. The heat from the hot water is transferred to cold water in the mains through a heat exchanger. These exchangers can take a couple of different forms, and Gledhill has use them all at different points in time.

What is indirect fired water heater?

What is an Indirect-Fired Water Heater? Also referred to as a ‘sidearm tank’ or an ‘indirect water heater,’ an indirect-fired water heater is a high quality, thermally efficient storage tank that has an internal heat exchanger which heats water in the tank by means of hot water circulating from the boiler.

Why do unvented cylinders explode?

An uncontrolled/uncontrollable heat source putting heat into a sealed system, without any means of removing the heat or releasing the pressure will eventually result in a bang-type pressure release. Domestic cylinder explosions in the UK have mostly been vented types (frozen, blocked OV, incorrectly installed).

Do unvented cylinders need servicing?

The simple answer here is “yes”. You should have your unvented water cylinder inspected and serviced every year. The reason for this is that unvented cylinders, while offering better performance and reliability than vented cylinders, do have inherent risks. They are pressurised metal cylinders.

Can you bleed radiators on a Pressurised system?

Firstly, radiators only need to be bled of air when the top of the radiator is cold. If the bottom of the radiator is cold, it is likely to be a sludge problem. If you have a pressurised heating system, make a note of the current pressure so you can re-pressurise it after venting.

What is the boilermate BP?

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.

Why buy a boilermate?

The removal of certain internal components has made the Boilermate visually and operationally less intimidating to plumbers unfamiliar with the product and/or the principles of Thermal Storage. It has also reduced the purchase cost substantially!

Can I upgrade to the new boilermate BP?

If you are looking to upgrade your system (which can be done with consummate ease) or you wish to replace an earlier version with the new Boilermate BP you might like to call our office to learn more.

What is included in the boilermate?

Mains pressure hot water, a fully open vented store (a great safety feature), central heating control, boiler control, all the pumps and gadgets needed to manage household requirements were incorporated into the Boilermate.
