SCxn Cylinders
SCxn Solar Unvented cylinders
The SCxn cylinder transfers the solar energy from the heat transfer
fluid to the mains pressure water and stores it until it is needed. If
there isn’t enough sunshine to fully heat the hot water, a back-up heat
source (electric immersion heater or boiler) will bring the water up to
the correct temperature.
Unvented hot water systems provide a range of benefits:
Benefits for the user
- Mains pressure hot water.
- Fast filling baths.
- Powerful invigorating showers.
- Simultaneous supply of water to all bathrooms.
- No cold water storage tank required, freeing up valuable space.
- Long life low maintenance hot water supply.
Benefits for the installer
- Duplex steel inner cylinder with 25 year guarantee.
- Tough plastic leather grain external coating resists scratching.
- 60mm of CFC-free foam injected insulation providing excellent heat retention characteristics.
- No anode – reduces service requirements.
- 3kW incoloy 825 immersion(s) for longer life.
- Light weight and easy handling to site.
- Water inlet diffuser prevents cold and hot water mixing.
- Includes all the necessary safety equipment required by governing legislation.
