Gledhill have led the way in developing the concept of thermal stores
since 1980. The latest version has been designed to get the best possible
performance from a heat pump in a unit capable of being linked to other
alternative energy sources such as wood burning stoves or solar thermal
panels. There are numerous other possible installation options (e.g.
heating taken directly from the heat pump.

Please Note - This Gledhill Thermal Store is NOT suitable for solar applications
The true significance of a thermal store in these circumstances should not
be underestimated;
- The store is safe to use with a wood burning stove.
- Energy put into the store from whatever source can be used for both eating and hot water.
- There is no requirement for a pressure and temperature relief valve, there
is therefore no need to design safe discharge facilities into the property.
- A thermal store can operate with less “on-peak” top up than an
unvented cylinder when heat pumps are used as the main energy input
If a wood burning stove is used with a thermal store there is often no
need to boost the temperature for hot water production. If however, the
heat pump will not raise the temperature sufficiently to give an adequate
supply of hot water, the Torrent HP is supplied with an immersion heater
and a thermostatic pocket.
The Torrent HP comes complete with all the necessary connections for
the various heat sources together with connections directly off the store
for central heating. The heat pump connections are 22mm compression fittings. Also included are two 10mm dry
pockets for the heat pump sensors together with a 15mm internal threaded
connection to allow a dry pocket to be fitted for the cylinder thermostat.
