Tempest Hi-Flow

[haythorn_1]

Looking to order a UVC soon from Telford for my ASHP setup. Does anyone know when you would use the hi-flow variant versus the normal one?

Think the only difference (I see) is the 3 port valve and possibly a different pump if you needed one.

 

Small heat pump, ordinary one ok, big heat pump high flow would be my take on it.

Speak to Trevor at Cylinders2go and mention my username and the forum. He’ll look after you with a price for the Telford kit. Lots of others here have bought from them.

What counts as small though?

6kW and lower I would say.

They both seem to have the same coil surface area, so not sure what high flow actually refers to here. 
 

Ask Trevor for a proper explanation is my 2 cents.

Different 3 port valve and pump

It's just a jump up to 28mm from 22mm then. Scan read it whilst multi-tasking, which never goes well.

 

TBH all the Telford cylinders at 250L and upwards come with 1" BSP (so 28mm) connections/coil, so not sure any would impacted by being on 22mm if the cylinder volume is that much lower and it had less work to do?

No, both are saying 28mm 3 port valve, possibly an esbe on the high flow and something like a Honeywell on the other.
