4.7.1 General description
Dimplex offer a range of direct electric and indirect heated solar cylinders from 175 litre
to 305 litre overall volume. An overall view of the products is given in Figure 39 and a
summary of the key features is given in Figure 40.
The inlet and outlet pipe routing of the cylinders is in such a way that during water draw
offs the stratification of the stored hot water is effected as little as possible, ensuring
the maximum amount possible to be drawn at high water temperatures.
In addition, the sloped outlet pipe of the cylinder minimises the required installation
height and reduces the heat losses from the unit to a minimum.
The corrugated stainless steel solar coil ensures high heat transfer rates and minimises
the risk of lime build up. The position of the solar coil ensures maximum usage of the
available cylinder volume without compromising the comfort of sufficient auxiliary vol-
ume available.
