Water heating systems
Choosing the method by which hot water is supplied is often pre-determined
by the choice of central heating system; which is ironic as heating systems in
the UK are used on average for less than five months of the year and the amount
of heating required is a pre-determined factor. It is the hot water requirement
that tends to vary with usage, yet it is often treated as a secondary requirement
in design terms. The problem is often compounded by the variety and choice of
water heating systems that are available; some of the leading UK manufactures
of waterheating equipment have helped to formulat this section to explain the
issues. |
