This circuit usually uses gravity circulation.
Good circulation depends on the system height and the
temperature difference between the hot flow and the cool
return to provide the motive force to overcome the frictional
resistance in pipe and fittings and provide circulation.

Solid Fuel Option
All models of the Torrent Stainless shown in this installation manual have the tappings
included as standard for a solid fuel boiler. In the absence of recommendations from
HETAS or the solid fuel boiler manufacturer, we would advise the following pipe layout
to achieve the best performance from your solid fuel system and our thermal store.
This diagram represents a good example of a gravity circulation pipe layout. Points
to note are;
• All pipework rises towards the cylinder and the heat sink radiator and fall back
towards the solid fuel burner.
• The heat source is below the cylinder which gives the layout a good system height.
• All gravity circulation pipework is recommended to be 28mm or above pipe
diameter, at low flow speeds the pipe resistence is negligible in this pipe diameter.
• Avoid long horizontal runs and try to make the ratio horizontal:vertical to be a
maximum of 20:80.
To ensure that the solid fuel boiler does not overheat the thermal store during its
operation and prevent gravity circulation cooling the thermal store when it is not,
the following controls can be used. Other methods of control can be used; HETAS
and/or the solid fuel boiler manufacturers instructions should be consulted. This
control system is fed from a dedicated fuse spur to enable safe isolation for changing
components. All wiring should comply with BS7671 Requirements for Electrical
Installations latest edition.
Typical components (not supplied but available to purchase from Gledhill Spares Ltd);
• Honeywell V4043B1265 (XB165) - 28mm compression normally open 2 port valve
• Honeywell V4043H1106 (XC012) - 28mm compression normally closed 2 port valve
• Honeywell L641B1012 (XC016) - Pipe thermostat
• (XC010) - Control thermostat 2
• (XC011) - Overheat thermostat 3
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
TORRENT STAINLESS SP SOL SOLID FUEL BOILERS
When the boiler is lit, the water temperature
raises. When the temperature is above pipe
thermostat 1 set point, the contacts close
signalling the normally closed valve to move
open. Once it is fully open, it signals the
normally open valve to motor there by closing
it. The thermal store now receives heat from the
solid fuel boiler via gravity circulation.
If control stat 2 set point is exceeded then the
power to the normally closed valve is cut which
in turn cuts the power to the normally open
valve. Excess heat from the solid fuel boiler is
then circulated around the heat sink radiator.
Careful selection of the pipe and control
thermostat set points should be made during
commissioning to get the best performance
from the system.
Setting control stat 2 at too high temperature
will cause dripping at overheat stat 3. We
recommend that there is a gap of at least 7°C
between the two stats. Therefore 75°C is ideal.
If temperatures in store exceed 82°C the
secondary protection will cut off the power
(overheat stat 3) in accordance with Part G3 of
Building regulations.
With regards to the domestic hot water
overheat protection, please refer to page 17 in
this installation manual.
Feed and Expansion Tank
A feed and expansion cistern supplying a system
heated by wet solid fuel appliance should either
be of metal construction (copper, stainless
steel etc.) or manufactured of a material
that has been certified as being suitable for
temperatures up to 110 ° C. These are available
to order from Gledhill at the time of purchase.
The capacity of the cistern should be at least
one twentieth of the total system volume.
The cistern should be fitted with a brass float
operated valve that is manufactured to BS1212
Pt. 2 and is fitted with an appropriately sized
copper float. The overflow pipe should be either
made of metal or manufactured from a material
that has been certified as being suitable for
temperatures up to 110 ° C. The overflow pipe
must have appropriate support – for plastics
this may require continuous support.
Torrent Stainless SP SOL boiler only
Where the Torrent Stainless SP SOL product is
selected to be used purely with a sealed primary
boiler, by combining the boiler and solar coils
the volume of heated water will increase.
The diagrams opposite show the pipe
configurations recommended to maximise
the boilers input where the two coils are utilised.
The 150 litre model internal coils can be
connected in series, with the SP boiler return
connected to the solar flow.
We recommend the 180 to 350 litre models
are connected in parallel to maximise the heat
transfer into the cylinder.
