Torrent MultiFuelStore OV

The Torrent MultiFuelStore OV utilises an open vented boiler and / or direct electric immersion heaters as its primary energy source. It comes fitted with tappings for a woodburning or solid fuel boiler as standard, which can be blanked off if not required at the time of installation.

One of the benefits of the open vented boiler configuration is that the whole output of the boiler is available to the thermal store, unlike the indirect Sealed Primary (SP) version where the output from the boiler is limited by the heat exchanger. This will provide an improvement in the operational efficiency of the boiler, reducing the primary energy usage and running costs.

Hot water and heating

The Torrent MultiFuelStore OV provides high-performance mains pressure hot water. The heat energy provided from the primary heat source and / or solid fuel input is circulated from the store to the central heating circuit, allowing rapid heat-up of a radiator system.

Electric-only option

In situations where no gas or solid fuel source is available the Torrent MultiFuelStore OV can be used exclusively from the two 3kW electric immersion elements which will provide both hot water and heating for the property. The obvious application is apartments where no gas main is available but this could also be appropriate where electricity is available from a renewable or low carbon source.

If connected to the standard grid then the thermal store is the perfect solution to maximise useage of an off peak tariff where arrangements should be made to power the lower immersion element in order to minimise the running costs.
