Gledhill Torrent Renewable Energy Thermal Stores are a range of primary thermal stores that are designed to provide hot water without the need for a pressure and temperature relief valve.
Unlike unvented cylinders, the Gledhill Torrent Renewable Energy Thermal Store requires no maintenance. This can help reduce running costs for the homeowner.
Torrent RE Solar is an open vented system and is therefore inherently safe. Without the need for a runaway to ground, Torrent RE Solar is a particularly
popular choice in apartments.
Torrent RE Solar incorporates a highly effective heat exchanger to maximise the energy
collected by the solar panels. These can be either flat panel or evacuated
tube. The solar dedicated section of the Torrent RE Solar then extracts this
energy to provide hot water for domestic use but also, importantly,
for heating.
Being a primary store, it is also possible to incorporate energy inputs from
sources such as a range boiler, wood burning or pellet stove again reducing
the reliance on fossil fuels. The energy produced can then be used in the
heating system in addition to providing domestic hot water
