Megaflo
Report
Unvented water heating is the fastest growing sector of the UK market, led by Heatrae Sadia's Megaflo. The Megaflo name has become synonymous with unvented cylinders and is often used to refer to unvented cylinders in general! Today, most new homes have unvented hot water systems installed as standard.
Megaflo Description
Report
Unvented hot water cylinders store water supplied from a pressurised water supply. This is typically the mains water supply. The heat source may be a gas boiler, electrical heating elements, renewable energy (solar, heat pumps, etc) or any combination of these. The cylinder stores water under relatively high pressures - typically in the region of 2 to 3 bar (20 to 30 metres head).
Unvented Components
Report
Unvented Hot Water Systems are subject to the legal requirements of Building Regulation G3 and can only be installed by a "competent person". This is regulated to ensure the installation is safe, and that all essential safety components are correctly installed. Below is a Megaflo cylinder showing some of the components of the system.
Unvented Installation
Report
The design and installation of any Megaflo or Unvented hot water system is of paramount importance. Correctly sized pipes ensure optimum performance and efficiency in delivering high pressure hot and cold water to all outlets - get this wrong, and the whole system falls apart! All unvented installations are subject to the legal requirements of Building regulation G3 and should only be installed by an "approved installer".
Electric Unvented
Report
Properties not connected to the gas network can have electric Megaflo unvented cylinders. These are known as Direct cylinders, and are heated with electric immersion heaters. They are ideally suited to small flats with Economy 7 or Economy 10 tariffs. In this case, we always recommend having dual immersion heaters.
