Hello everyone - new around here so here goes...
I've just installed a new system - out with a Sime 102 super, in with a Keston Celsius 25 boiler and an Albion Mainslflow thermal store 25/140 indirect. System is Honeywell 'Y' plan.
4 bed house with two bathrooms, well one and a half if you know what I mean.
I was wondering how the system should be set. I've got a 2 channel h/w & c/h timer thermostat. I take it that the boiler stat should be on maximum but not sure about the cylinder stat. I see the factory setting is on max - 90 degrees - is that right? There is a blender valve on the store to adjust output to the taps.
I don't know if you rate these Albion units. I've got to say that the store is a bit basic looking - just looks like a normal cylinder with a bit of insulation sprayed over it. Not like the space age looking Megaflow units. I was wondering just how efficient the insulation is?
Up to now, I've been using the thermal store with an immersion heater while waiting for the boiler to be hooked -up, now I'm hoping for bath type quantities - it certainly heats up FAST now the Celsius 25 is working!
Any advice would be appreciated - Alan
