A thermal store provides the perfect solution to
a home’s heating and hot water requirements.
Torrent ECO offers more options than any other
store or cylinder, and is designed to reduce
heating costs by offering complete flexibility for
householders to use multiple energy sources.
The Torrent ECO enables the hot water within
the store to circulate around the heating
system to provide heat to the property, with
the domestic hot water being mains cold water
instantaneously heated through a plate heat
exchanger.
Thermal stores provide many additional
benefits including:
• Mains pressure hot water
• No annual maintenance or safety check
requirement
• No discharge pipework
• No risk of legionella
• Inherently safe being an open vented cylinder
• No G3 qualification requirement for
installation
The Torrent ECO is manufactured from copper,
by our trained coppersmiths, within Gledhill’s
eight nationwide manufacturing depots.
This provides the flexibility for homeowners
to select the thermal store which best suits
their requirements, allowing them to maximise
the available heat sources, whether they are
traditional boilers, electric immersions, or
fuel sources.
The cylinder is open vented, enabling
uncontrolled heat sources such as
woodburning stoves to be used.
LEGIONELLA
& SCALD PROTECTION
The domestic hot water is generated by mains
cold water being instantaneously heated as it
passes through the heat exchanger, which is then
delivered to the taps. This method of generating
the hot water completely removes the risk of
legionella. Gledhill’s patented intelligent controls,
in conjunction with the sensors, regulate the
temperatures being delivered to the taps or
shower, preventing the risk of scalding.
The SunSpeed is an open vented cylinder which
makes the location of the cylinder more flexible
because the cylinder does not require a safety
discharge pipe.
The SunSpeed cylinders are insulated using
35mm HCFC free EnviroFoam to comply
with Part L of the Building Regulations. This
insulation incorporates Polyol which is derived
from rapeseed oil - a fully renewable resource,
with an industry leading Global Warming
Potential of 0.7. It also provides exceptionally
low standing heat loss.

SunSpeed is a domestic hot water cylinder
designed for use with solar panels. It is a
copper cylinder with two heat exchangers,
one for solar input and one for a boiler input.
The dedicated solar volumes range from
34% to 49% with the majority exceeding 40%
enabling the best use of the solar panels. These
dedicated solar volumes allow maximum
suitable solar panels surface area from 2.9m
2
to 5.0m
2
. The surface area of the solar heat
exchanger coil is designed to exceed Building
Regulations requirements.
The boiler coil comes into play in the cooler
months of the year as the solar input
diminishes. A correctly sized cylinder will
ensure enough hot water is available to the
householder during these months as the
dedicated solar volume will not be heated by
the boiler. The boiler coil is sized appropriately
to the cylinder and gives a recovery time of
less than 26 minutes with sizes to meet all
regulations.
