Fast Recovery Cylinders

This type of cylinder is extremely efficient and when fitted with a condensing boiler can produce hot water in a fraction of the time (approximately 12 minutes compared with 25 minutes) and at a fraction of the cost (44% cheaper than a conventional system).

Cost Effective Cylinders

In an average home the initial outlay for a high efficiency fast recovery cylinder will amazingly pay for itself in less than one year and will give you the luxury of hot water on tap 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

At A.C. Wilgar we use the Super Duty Concept Cylinder, which is proven to provide the most cost effective type of cylinder in terms of operation and performance.

Superduty – Multicoil for High Performance

The Superduty Concept

Unlike a conventional cylinder which utilises a single 28mm diameter coil, Superduty mulitcoils are engineered with a manifold which divides into four coiled tubes. This arrangement ensures that far more water is in contact with the copper wall of the heat exchanger, dramatically improving heat transfer between primary and secondary waters.

The Superduty multicoil heat exchanger is proven to provide cost effective operation and performance, unparalleled in systems of this type.

Just look at the performance graphs!

Ultra fast recovery of hot water allows for a reduction in cylinder size. This development has resulted in the product we know today as the Superduty, a cylinder used and specified by energy conscious Local Authorities, Housing Associations and private builders alike. All Albion Superduty cylinders are WRAS and NHBC approved.

Better Economy

Fuel saving

The installation of a Superduty will reduce boiler operating times and cycling periods resulting in savings of up to 40% compared with systems using conventional indirect systems.

Improves boiler efficiency

The effective heat treatment transfer of the Superduty results in very cool primary return temperatures which maintain the boiler operation on full load – even in summer months! This virtually eliminates expensive boiler cycling, a major contribution to fuel saving.

Annual Cost of Gas (£)

900 X 450 BRITISH STANDARD

  • Gas used: 625 cu.ft/day
  • Cost of Gas per week: £1.97
  • Cost of Gas per year: £102.44

SUPERDUTY CF80

  • Gas used: 350 cu.ft/day
  • Cost of Gas per week: £1.10
  • Cost of Gas per year: £57.20

Annual Saving: £45.24

SUPERDUTY CF45

  • Gas used: 375 cu.ft/day
  • Cost of Gas per week: £1.18
  • Cost of Gas per year: £61.36

Annual Saving: £41.08

A practical example is to compare the hot water available from a CF45 against that from a standard indirect 900 x 450mm cylinder. Using a 15Kw boiler the standard cylinder will deliver approximately 175 litres of hot water per hour (based on 40 minutes recovery). The Superduty CF45 will produce approximately 340 litres in these circumstances (8 minutes recovery).

System Control

Superduty Cisternflow cylinders are suitable for fully pumped primary systems fuelled from mains gas, lpg or oil boilers. They are compatible with W, Y and S plan systems. Quicker re-heat times are achieved with W plan systems. A probe type insertion thermostat is required to provide increased temperature sensing and accuracy over that of the strap-on type.

Plenty of Hot Water

The recovery times are based on a primary flow of 82°C and a recovery from 20°C through to 60°C. Times are greater than the Albion bench test in order to provide figures which are easily achievable in the home.

Combination Units

All Cistern flow models are available in combination tank form, supplied with byelaw 30 kits and lids. CF45, CF80 and CF120 litre units have 20 litres of cold storage. CF140, CF160, CF180 and CF120 litre units have 40 litres of cold storage.
