What's your cold mains like? ( static pressure and litres per minute flow rate ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probs a bath and a shower at worst with the uhf on and rads on upstairs middle of winter say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nod Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 The boiler is a Greenstar 30i cylinder is 250 litres Will run all three bathrooms and UFH Quite comfortably Not sure about the upstairs heating as we have not needed it on since moving in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boiler will be able to do both heating and hot water ( re-heating the hot water cylinder) with ease, even with a kW rating as low as 14-18kW. That 30kW boiler in @nod‘s is very big but will be able to reheat the cylinder a bit quicker. Its the kW rating of the coil inside the cylinder that decides how you convey heat from the boiler ( primary ) circuit to useful hot water though, and you can have for eg a 60kW boiler and a 10kW coil and still be waiting as only 10kW will be conveyed at any one time. Not so simple a question so needs a little more understanding so you can ask the right questions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so simple a question so needs a little more understanding so you can ask the right questions okay i understand, this is all a bit new to me. so would i need an unvente tank for domestic hot water then a seperate tank for heating? ive been advised that the boiler i would need would be a boiler that makes into the tank. im not sure wether the heating is taken from the tank then or is still supplied from the boiler it self. a basic guide would be good when dealing with Unvented tank systems so i can get my head around it.. thanks Edited February 5, 2019 by Our_Valleys_build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
