Domestic hot water storage tank - how to choose the right one for your installation needs?
Domestic hot water storage tank (c.w.u.) is a heated water storage tank, providing comfortable hot water in a house or building. Proper selection of its capacity is crucial - it affects both the comfort of users and the energy efficiency of the heating system. A tank that is too small can result in frequent switching on of the boiler or heat pump (to reheat the water after it is used up quickly), which increases operating costs and energy consumption. On the other hand, a tank with too large a capacity does guarantee a supply of hot water, but is associated with greater consumption of energy needed to heat and maintain the temperature of the water, generating heat loss. Therefore, it is important to select the capacity of the storage tank according to your needs - taking into account the number of users, the specifics of the installation and the heat source.
