Brief description

Die ROTEX Gas Combi Unit compact (GCU compact) is a fully 
preassembled gas condenser unit., which is built into a water 
storage tank. The excellent heat insulation properties of the 
plastic storage tank ensure that heat losses are kept to a 
minimum. The aluminium boiler body is inserted in a metal 
housing in the cover of the storage tank. The complete flue gas 
unit is surrounded by fresh air.

Operating mode

The ROTEX GCU compact is designed such that it can be 
operated independently of the ambient air (concentric flue gas/air 
inlet piping). The burner suctions the combustion air directly in 
through an installation shaft or a double-walled flue gas pipe. This 
procedure is recommended by ROTEX and has many advan-
tages:

The heating room does not need any ventilation opening into
the open air and therefore does not cool down.

Lower energy consumption.

Additional energy recovery in the flue gas pipe through pre-
heating the combustion air.

Contamination from the environment of the burner are not
suctioned in. The heating room can thus be used as a
work-space, laundry room etc. at the same time.

Possible to set up in loft areas or attic.

The condensate which arises is collected in the flue gas collector 
and transported into the storage tank via a plastic pipe where it is 
neutralised.

The pressureless storage water serves as heat storage medium. 
Useful heat is supplied and led out by completely submerged, 
helically intertwined stainless steel corrugated tubes (1.4404).

The hot water zone in the storage tank works as a combination of 
heat storage and geyser (see fig. 3-3 and fig. 3-6).

The cold water which flows out when the hot water is removed is 
first routed to the storage tank at the very bottom of the heat ex-
changer, where it cools the lower area of the storage tank down 
as much as possible. The readiness zone is heated by a 

heat ex-

changer for charging storage tank (SL-WT)

 which is heated 

using the gas burner, heated from top to bottom where the water 
also flows.

On its way to the top, the domestic water continuously absorbs
the heat of the storage tank water. The flow direction, operating 
on the principle of counter-flow, and the coil-shaped heat ex-
changer create a pronounced temperature layering in the hot 
water storage tank. As high temperatures can be maintained for 
a very long time in the upper section of the storage tank, a high 
hot water output is achieved even if water is drawn off over a long 
period of time.

On the GCU compact 515/515-BIV, 524/524-BIV models, the
SL-WT ends approx. 40 cm above the floor of the container.
Only the hot water zone about it is heated by the boiler. The
tank volume below it is heated only on using the solar energy.

On the GCU compact 315/315-BIV, 324/324-BIV, 533/533-
BIV models, the SL-WT is pulled down all the way to the con-
tainer floor. The entire storage volume is heated by the boiler
(greater hot water output readiness).

Optimum water hygiene

Low flow or unheated zones on the domestic water side are com-
pletely excluded with the ROTEX GCU compact. It is impossible 
for sludge, rust or other sediments to be deposited, as can be the 
case with other large volume tanks. The water which is fed into 
the system first is also discharged first (first in, first out principle).
