    Indirect thermal store?

    Are you saying that your arrangement is a conventional indirect hot water cylinder but with the addition of a secondary heat exchanger (coil internal) for the shower? What I was talking about is an external heat exchanger (see diagram below) It is said that the principal of thermal stores is...

    Indirect thermal store?

    I've just been reading a book titled "Central Heating" written by Patrick Mitchell. It's a really good book with lots of information I must say. On page 48 and 49, an example is mentioned: "the water in the mass storage tank is heated indirectly by hot water from the boiler passing through a...

    Do Intergas require any modification to work OV or is it just plug & play? What's the difference between system boiler and OV boiler technically?

    Where to buy a Kidd VHE 1 gas boiler?

    Good morning everyone, I've been thinking more. I've now decided that I want an old-fashioned open-vented system (with a pumped shower). One of the reasons is because I travel abroad a lot and the last thing I want is an unvented cylinder to explode while I'm away. I understand that unvented...

    Where to buy a Kidd VHE 1 gas boiler?

    Thanks for the heads up. So, I tried the calculation with the The Whole house boiler calculator and the result was about 32kW. Would 35 or 40kW boiler be suitable? So, I've reading more about Intergas and compared it with Atag. Both are Dutch. The prices and details from Plumbcenter are as...

    Where to buy a Kidd VHE 1 gas boiler?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, just the cast iron HX. Also because the Kidd boiler was one of the very few (the only one?) condensing boiler brands that could have a flue up the chimney. Intergas sounds interesting. I'll take a look at their website for more info. By the way, that Hamworthy...

    Where to buy a Kidd VHE 1 gas boiler?

    Is there an alternative (cast iron HX) to the Kidd boiler? Is this Hamworthy product any good? https://www.hamworthy-heating.com/commercial-boilers/purewell-variheat-condensing-boiler The smallest size available is 70kW, which is a bit big for my house. I was thinking maximum 30 or 40kW...
