Is the Atmos Multi any good?

[mehran]

the only way to get around not storing water is to go for something like a rinnai water heater... but then you will have two boilers, one for hot water, one for CH.(the rinnai can be fitted outside though)


but even a 54kw water heater is not going to do 4 showers at once....

What is the difference between direct and indirect cylinder do they both use immersion heater to heat the water?

 

[doitall]

Direct puts heat straight into the water, whereas indirect transfers heat from a coil.

is it possible to put two combi boilers in a house?

You can fit as many combi's as you like, if you up-size the meter to a commercial type.

Please remember the mains pressure and flow is what comes out of the taps, if it only supplies 10Ltrs/m you can't get 20Ltrs/m from the showers.

Am i correct in thinking that the atmos doesn't have plate to plate heat exchanger so doesn't suffer from the same problem as other boilers which have it, from sludge build up?

 

[bengasman]

No boiler suffers from sludge build up if the system is maintained properly.
Which it should.

 

[doitall]

Thats correct, although the multi is different to the normal combi's.

All boilers will suffer from sludge if the system is not clean or installed badly.

Check the link I posted at the beginning, it tells you how it works.

 

[rockinter]

I looked at the link. It shows there are coils inside the water tank. So i am guessing the pipes are pretty big. So small bits won't affect the boiler so much compared to the ones which have very small passages in there hex.

 

[doitall]

The coil is for extra hot water, the main heat exchanger runs through the center of the cylinder.

We had the Atmos boiler 32-80 fitted 3 yrs ago it is a beast, looks like a SMEG fridge and is powerfull enough for 4 continuous hot showers at 1.8 BAR, we have saved 30% gas this last winter.who needs a power shower. However the the ionisation probe just threw up a fault code, at just 3years ? spares have to come from Holland. Make sure you keep your warranty up to date. I still remain impressed
