FR Cylinder Range

SmartLine Multi Energy cylinder:
Designed for a range of
applications and a multiple choice
of energy sources.

Multi-Energy Tank with the advantages of Tank-in-Tank technology and the
added benefit of a carbon steel coil located at the bottom in the primary water.
The large heating surface area and increased primary volume of the SLME tanks, not
only increase recovery time, but also ensures all energy from your renewable source
is absorbed into the tank, reducing fuel bills and ultimately helping the environment.

Due to the unique design of the Multi-Energy tank and the large primary thermal store, it is the perfect partner for Solar, Heat Pumps, Pellet Burners, Heat Recovery Systems, District Heating Applications and more.

With the trend set to continue for the Multi-Energy range, ACV will be launching new tanks up to 1500 litres during 2008.

Tank-in-Tank Technology

ACV’s advanced implementation of thermal storage technology is tried and tested and is remarkably simple, efficient and reliable. An inner stainless steel hot water cylinder is heated by primary water circulating through a surrounding outer tank connected to the boiler or other heat source in the usual way. A larger heat transfer surface means that Tank-in-Tank units recover much faster than any other kind of hot water storage device - and keeps boiler cycling to a minimum.

Advantages Over Twin Coil Tank

  • Increased heating surface for rapid domestic hot water recovery
    Large primary volume allows for greater thermal store
    Can be used as a low loss header for heating circuit
    Smaller compact tank with increased performance
    Immersion heater in primary circuit
    More heat sources absorbed into the tank
    Flexible design options for specifiers and installer

Resistance to Scaling

The special design of the inner cylinder not only helps ensure scale-free operation but also avoids the sediment problems that plague conventional cylinders.
