Torrent MultiFuelStore Solar

The Torrent MultiFuelStore SOL utilises either a sealed system boiler and / or an open vented boiler as its primary energy source. It also has a high-efficiency solar coil to allow the homeowner to benefit from a wide variety of alternative energy inputs. The cylinder 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.

Hot water and heating

The Torrent MultiFuelStore SOL provides high-performance mains pressure hot water.

The central heating circuit can be supplied directly from a sealed system boiler although an auxiliary heating circuit can be connected from the store in which case both the solar and solid fuel energy will also provide an input to the auxiliary heating circuit.

Alternatively, an open vented boiler can be used to directly heat the store so that the energy will be available for both hot water and auxiliary central heating circuit.

The cylinder comes with two return connections for solid fuel and woodburning stoves to enable the homeowner to have an aga running 24 hours a day but still retaining the dedicated solar volume.

Electric back-up

An immersion element is provided and it is normally envisaged that this will be used as an emergency electric back-up for hot water and to provide emergency energy to the auxiliary heating circuit. However, if a low carbon or renewable electricity source is available then this could be connected to the immersion element to provide heat input to the thermal store, decreasing the use of the fossil fuel boiler and hence reducing running costs.
