C = High density polyurethane foam insulation

D = Heating fluid entry point

E = Heating fluid outlet point

F = Sanitary hot water outlet

G = T & P relief valve connection

H = Cold water inlet

I = Control thermostat

L = Primary air vent

M = Co-polymer polypropylene top cover

N = Co-polymer polypropylene jacket

Principle:

ACV Tanks (tank in tank) comprise of two concentric water cylinders. Tank (A) is manufactured in

solid stainless steel and contains the domestic water for use at the sanitary hot water outlets. The

exterior tank (B) is manufactured from STW 22 carbon steel, this tank holds the primary heating

fluid which is circulated from the boiler, as the primary fluid passes between the two tanks the

heat is transferred to the domestic water.

Operation:

When the thermostat (I) calls for heat the primary pump is activated (or motorised valve is

opened) and primary fluid is circulated in the outer tank and transfers its heat to the domestic

water. Once the thermostat set temperature is achieved it will open and deactivate the primary

pump (or close the motorised valve). Initial heating from cold will take between 10 and 20 minutes

(depending on tank size and boiler output) – when operating temperature is achieved the

recovery becomes faster.
