Heat Interface Unit With Hot Water Storage

The CENTRALflow heat interface unit provides a unique and energy efficient heating and hot water storage solution for apartment blocks or properties where the heat comes from a centralised source such as a biomass or CHP Plant.

CENTRALflow delivers mains pressure hot water through a thermal store linked to a Heat Interface Unit (HIU) which can also offer a Heat Metering facility.

The CENTRALflow solution also enables other forms of renewable energy, such as solar thermal technology to be included to reduce the carbon footprint and minimise operating costs.

Due to the nature of the product, each heat interface unit is designed and manufactured to order allowing complete flexibility on sizing, fuel sources and connection placement.

We have been championing the benefits of hot water storage for many years, but the Hot Water Association document also lists no fewer than 22 advantages of using stored hot water over instantaneous systems. Using stored hot water solutions within heat networks has many advantages over systems that generate hot water instantaneously. Click here to read the reasons why hot water storage is beneficial within heat networks.

Our focus is very much on the manufacture of copper hot water cylinders and tanks. Copper provides fantastic benefits including;

  • Ability to kill 99% of bacteria including Ecoli and legionella
  • One of the most efficient conductors of heat
  • Significantly more flexible for manufacturing than other materials
  • Long lifespan due to its amazing resistance to corrosion
  • 100% recyclable
