Gas hot water tank or cylinder

Gas hot water tank or cylinder

A gas hot water tank also known as a gas hot water cylinder or gas fired hot water tank are gas fired water heaters that are storage hot water heaters. These water heaters are a solution for high flow rates or high intermittent water heating demands.

A picture of a gas hot water tank or gas fired hot water cylinder from Flexiheat UK, which are used for water heating in large domestic, commercial, and industrial applications. These units are condensing gas water heaters.

Gas water heaters with storage systems for high volumes at intermittent times demand. These condensing water heaters are energy efficient and cost effective to run.

These condensing water heaters are energy efficient gas water heaters that are used in heavy domestic, commercial or industrial applications where people want a domestic water heating device that utilizes a hot water storage tank to optimize water heating capacity and supply hot water instantly.

These gas water heaters suit applications where tankless water heaters cannot supply enough instant hot water flow rate or hot water temperature for the water heating requirements.

Sometimes these gas water heaters are referred to as a gas hot water heater tank, gas water cylinder ultimately, they all refer to the same product.

Water heater applications

Typical applications for this range of gas fired water heaters is health centres, hairdresser saloons, pubs and leisure facilities, hotels and bed and breakfast establishments or larger properties, where hot water demand and good flow rates are essential, and they have a gas supply – either natural mains gas or LPG (liquefied petroleum gas).

These gas water heaters allow you to sperate your central heating system from your domestic hot water system, meaning you can achieve greater energy efficiency by only heating water in the summer months and reduce your energy bills or your customers for their water heating.

This gas fired hot water tank range can also cover a vast range of industrial applications as well, such as producing instant hot water with a storage element for food or process manufacturing that require a energy efficient and cost effective gas water storage systems for high volumes at intermittent times.

Gas fired water heaters

Our largest gas fired water heaters is designated the 50/330 – This 50kW condensing gas-fired direct water heater that raises water from 10°C to 60°C on demand, providing domestic hot water at a rate of 871 litres per hour while maintaining outstanding efficiency and low NOx emissions that comply with ErP regulations for heating water. This gas water heater features a 330-liter storage tank with a fully enamelled heat exchanger enclosed therein for heating water, and it has a 50kW power output from a pre-mix gas burner (natural gas or LPG options).

Then our “SFKA” Range of gas water heaters

gas hot water tank or gas fired hot water cylinder from Flexiheat UK

This gas condensing water heaters range is designed to store 150 litres of domestic quality water at a hot water temperature of 60C or above in the water storage cylinder, this instant DHW is then available to the installation when there’s a demand from the showers, baths, or hot water taps, with good flow rates.

This gas water heater range is a condensing high-efficiency storage water heater that is room-sealed, meaning these gas water heaters may be installed practically anywhere thanks to its flexible flue options. Making installation of this range of energy efficient condensing water heaters with hot water storage systems quick and easy in any commercial or heavy domestic site.

Condensing water heaters

As our gas fired water heaters range are condensing water heaters, you’re getting many benefits with a reliable and efficient hot water installation, with the benefit of lower energy consumption. They are as such hybrid water heaters, with a tankless water heater which are condensing water heaters combined with a storage tank.

Gas water heater features

Our commercial, or heavy domestic gas water heaters range features

  • Our heat exchanger is produced in stainless steel and has large single-tube coils with a diameter of 28 mm. Because of this, it has very low pressure drops, which means it is less likely to get clogged, uses heat more efficiently, and is easier to clean.

High DHW performance gas fired water heaters

  • The domestic sanitary water temperature adjustment ranges from 40 °C to 60 °C
  • Anti-legionella system;
  • These are condensing water heaters – being highly energy efficient and thus cost effective to run. 
  • Possibility of recirculation or direct feed for high volumes of demand at intermittent times with our gas water heaters
  • Remote management and control of these gas fired water heaters is possible via 0-10 volts or via our Opentherm thermostat and controller with an app that allows you to control the gas water heater from a phone, tablet, or PC.
  • Integrated post-circulation for excess heat disposal to help save energy.
