Vented Cylinders
Vented cylinders are traditional hot water storage systems that rely on gravity to deliver hot water to taps and appliances. Vented cylinders are typically installed in properties with a cold water storage tank, usually located in the loft or attic space. These cylinders are fed by a gravity-fed system, where cold water from the storage tank is heated in the cylinder and then distributed throughout the property via gravity.
Advantages of vented cylinders include:
- Simple and reliable system
- Suitable for properties with existing gravity-fed systems
- Cost-effective option for some properties
Unvented Cylinders
Unvented cylinders, also known as pressurised cylinders, are modern hot water storage systems that provide high-pressure hot water directly to taps and appliances. Unlike vented cylinders, unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply and do not require a separate cold water storage tank. Instead, they are equipped with an internal expansion vessel to accommodate the expansion of hot water as it heats up.
Advantages of unvented cylinders include:
- High-pressure hot water supply for improved performance
- No need for a separate cold water storage tank, saving space
- Reduced risk of heat loss and legionella growth compared to vented systems
