    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Guys The discussion topic is interesting. I'm neither a fitter or designer, I am an interested owner. I spent a lot of time researching the product and am in general happy with its performance. Since returning home, I have turned up the boiler stat to Max, this has resulted in the...

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Silverback - does larger surface area (of the plate HX against coil) not mean better heat transfer? The cost of running the pump isn't that high - in my case anyhow.

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    lcgs - I searched on the heatweb site and got the spec sheet. The problem is the spec sheet is not for my unit.... I will try to explain what is different. 1. I have a HX 14 on the boiler input ot the store. 2. I have tappings that supply my UFH from the store. 3. I don't have any...

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Thanks for the input/advice guys. Johnsville - I'll get the TS stats checked out first by my sparkie. Your explanation of the operation of the plate HX is exactly as I was told when I bought the TS. DPS assured me that the HX on the boiler side would mean fast and efficient transfer of heat...

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    There are 2 plate HX inside the store. One transfers heat from the heat source (the boiler) to the thermal store mass of water. The other HX transfers the heat from he thermal store water to my mans cold, therefore giving me mains water at a hot temerature. The use of HX on both sides is...

    The plate HX is inside the thermal store, it is used to dump the heat from the boiler into the store. A HX was used over a coil becasue the reheat capabilites and efficiency is better. The pumps are all working.

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Turning the boiler to max has had no impact on the availability of DHW (the amount available)

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Simond I may have the boiler model wrong, it is a conventional, condensing boiler. I will try turning the boiler stat to Max, the stats on the thermal store are at 70 Degrees (as per DPS specificton). Will update if this improves things.

    DPS thermal store DHW performance

    Hello All I have a DPS thermal store (300l) connected to a condensing gas boiler (Worcester 42CDi). The store currently supplies an Invisible heating UFH system (4 circuit) and the DHW. I have a radiator circuit that comes directly from the boiler which is controlled by a single room stat...
