Economise on storage with a combi heating boiler
tiny homes can benefit from putting in a combination heating boiler as they need much less space than traditional heating boilers. All you require to put in the full central heating system is a combination boiler and balanced flue. With the inclusion of copper piping to transfer the hot water to the radiators to warm your room you will be complete. You could be amazed by this and ask whether we had forgotten about some component parts. Isn’t it true that most systems seem to require a feed and expansion cylinder in the attic, a water pump to move the hot water around and a storage cylinder to keep hot water when not required.
The answer to your questions would be that with a regular combi gas boiler you do need these parts. You will have no requirement for a hot water storage cylinder, room in the attic can be saved by leaving out the feed and expansion cylinder, the combination heating boiler also incorporates the other small-scale component parts. The consequence is that a lot of storage space is saved inside your house.
Combination gas boilers have been installed for a while. Whilst they were first fitted in Europe they are now a very popular gas boiler for installation in the United Kingdom. By comparison with traditional gas boilers you will see that there are two major deviations. The first point to highlight is that the circulating hot water for the central heating is within a fully sealed system. This gets rid of any requirement for a feed and expansion tank in the loft. Inclusion of a hot water storage cylinder within the heating boiler also removes any requirement for the hot water storage cylinder.
As hot water is required it is produced right away by the heating boiler, switching on a hot water flags this demand to the gas boiler. And economical internal heat exchanger enables the heating boiler to quickly heat and cold water. Hot water circulating in the heating system is diverted to the heat exchanger. Fresh cold water from the outside mains passes through this heat exchanger where it is heated before it reaches the hot water tap.
Hot water supply to the radiators is a lesser priority than the production of instant hot water for the home. The radiators are provided with hot water once the valve is closed.
This might give you food for thought and the impulse to consider a combination boiler as your next new boiler.
