UNVENTED CYLINDER OPERATION

How They Work

Unlike traditional vented systems that rely on gravity, an unvented system pushes hot water out using the natural pressure of your incoming mains. The system relies on a few core components:

Inner Tank

Often crafted from duplex stainless steel to handle the high pressure and resist corrosion.

Thermal Insulation

A thick layer of foam keeps the water hot and prevents energy loss.

Heating Element / Coil

Water is heated indirectly by your central heating boiler or heat pump (via an internal heat exchanger coil) or directly using a built-in immersion heater.

Safety Controls

Because it’s a sealed system under pressure, unvented cylinders feature safety valves (like temperature and pressure relief valves) that safely release excess pressure or heat.

Types of Unvented Hot Water Cylinders

Unvented cylinders are available in several configurations, allowing you to choose a system that works with your property’s heating source, available space and hot water requirements.

Indirect
