Copperform Ltd is part of theKingspan Hot Water SystemsGroup of companies,and manufactures a varietyof water heating products.Mainly domestic and industrialhot water cylinders in Direct,Indirect and Combinationversions.

They are all built to the highestpossible standards with a focuson being environmentally friendly.This is part of the philosophyon which the group has grown,and it forms the basis of ourmission statement for the future.

This information is a general guide for selecting thecorrect size of cylinder for use in domestic applications.If you are in any doubt or have a more specialistapplication such as a nursing home, sports centreor youth hostel, please ring us

The following are two main factors to take into account:

• The storage volume required to meet peak demand.Typical hot water demand (litres of water at 60ºC)

• Standard bath 60 litres

• Corner bath 120 litres

• Shower 30 litres

• Power shower 60 litres

• Wash basins 60 litres

• Kitchen sink 60 litres

• How quickly can the energy source heat the water.

With gas or oil boilers, fast recovery cylinders such asUltracoil can help you to achieve quicker reheats andreduce the amount of water that needs to be stored.

When off peak electricity (Economy7/10) is used for water heating,it is most economical to heat the totalcontents of the cylinder overnight.This reduces the need to useimmersion heater boost periodsduring the day when electricityis more expensive.

Economy Seven cylinders, whichmeet the Maxistore specificationsare recommended for all electricapplications.
