Understanding conventional boiler systems can help you make informed decisions about your home heating needs. Here’s how they work:
Two-Tank System: Conventional boilers feature two water tanks in the loft: a large ‘cold water storage tank’ and a small ‘feed and expansion tank’.
Water Distribution: The ‘cold water storage tank’ draws water from the mains to refill and supplies it to the cylinder typically located in the airing cupboard. The boiler heats this water, converting it from cold to hot, which is then distributed to taps throughout your home.
Function of Tanks: The ‘feed and expansion tank’ maintains the correct water level in the heating system and allows for expansion of water in radiators and pipes when they heat up.
Benefits of Conventional Boilers:
- Simultaneous Water Usage: Allows for showers, taps, and baths to be used in multiple rooms simultaneously, ensuring convenience.
- Fast Recovery: With modern boilers and cylinders, the system boasts a quick recovery rate of 25 to 30 minutes if the hot water cylinder runs out.
