Hot Water Cylinders

Most homes have hot water cylinders which are used to supply the home with heating and hot water solutions. Some of our customers integrate their hot water cylinders with renewable energy sources such as heat pumps and solar thermal. As a result, this allows a more efficient and economic heating solution.

 

Joule supply direct unvented cylinders, horizontal cylinders, indirect cylinders and unvented cylinders to name a few. We offer a wide range of hot water cylinders to our customers such as direct unvented cylinders and many more. However these a very few examples of our complete Cyclone hot water cylinder range.

The Cyclone Air Unvented range of hot water cylinders are manufactured with quality and precision to the fore. The internal expansion provides a neat installation. The pre-plumbed cold feed assembly ensure consistency and quality every time. The Cyclone Air brand signifies the next generation of hot water cylinder development.

 

Why Joule Hot Water Cylinders

At Joule we believe our cylinders are of superior quality to most other cylinders on the market today. In the heating and hot water solutions industry we are one of the countries leading manufacture.

 

We manufacture to the highest level for our customers. When manufacturing our cylinders we have a code that we abide by. Following our steps with each cylinder we manufacture allows us to assure our customers that we have excellence every time.

 

The Steps We Take

Our superior quality starts with our raw materials. Operating a total quality management system we ensure that raw materials of the highest quality are used in our cylinders.

 

It sounds simple but a zero dirt policy on the production floor ensure that no foreign debris enters the metal at any stage. We do not use machines for multiple types of metal. Copper cylinders are handled using totally separate machines than stainless ensuring that there is no cross contamination.

 

Butt Welding Our Entire Cylinder Separates Us From The Crowd

We don’t just butt weld the seam and the domes we also butt weld the fittings and the coils. Most manufacturers skip this as it slows down the process. Some don’t bother butt welding any part of the hot water cylinder at all. Others do the seam and the domes but few do all the fittings and coils also.

All Joule cylinders start their life as a roll of stainless steel sheet. For a roll of stainless steel to reach the factory floor it must pass stringent quality control checks at the goods in- wards department. No component is taken into stock until it has been fully inspected and tested. Unchecked product sits in a holding area to ensure there is no cross contamination. A sheet used to make the body of the inner and outer shells are de-coiled and punched using a laser guided punching machine. The punched sheets are then fed down a conveyer system to the rolling machine where they are rolled to a cylindrical shape with 0.001mm tolerance.

 

Our Coils Are What Makes Us Different

Other manufacturers would have you believe that corrugated 0.4mm thick coils are better coils, however this is not the case.

 

At Joule we still use 1mm smooth tube coils with longer lengths providing the same surface area as corrugated coils. The coil facing away from itself at all times emits heat better, unlike corrugated coil.

 

Therefore as a result in a thicker, smoother coil we ensures a longer life span on our hot water cylinder.

 

We Pickle and Passivate All Our Cylinders

This process treats the metal post welding to ensure that it has it’s durable long life coat.

 

This process is not done by all manufacturers, and the ones that do this process do not all take the correct amount of time submersing the chemical. If the cylinder is only rinsed with the chemical or dipped in and out of a bath of the chemical then consequently it will not have the time needed to work on retreating the metal.

 

At Joule all our hot water cylinders are robotically placed in the treatment tank. The cylinders are held there for a programmed time period before being transferred to the next bath. In conclusion, our hot water cylinders overall are more durable resulting in a longer life cylinder.  The Joule range of un-vented cylinders are the UK’s fastest growing cylinder brand. Built on quality and performance, with one of the widest ranges of models available you can be sure there is a model to suit. With the introduction of the Energy Related Product certificate scheme under an EU directive, Joule are leading the way by offering a complete range of A, B & C rated cylinders. The same quality you have been accustomed too is now available across all rated cylinders. The Cyclone brand is noted for its attractive grey finish. Noticeably there is no cheap plastic used on the outer casing. Inside only the best materials are used, duplex stainless steel body, 316L grade stainless fittings and coils. Our quality is nowhere better noticed then in the construction of our coils. Unlike most cheaper brands on the market Cyclone range of cylinders use high recovery smooth tube coils for optimal performance. No other coil type on the market today offers the same transfer rate as smooth stainless tube.

 

What Hot Water Cylinder Do I Need

A question we get asked all the time, along with Copper or Stainless is which cylinder do I need? As a result our team offer their experience to customers on which hot water cylinders are right for them.

 

Without knowing the details of the application in hand it would be hard to lock down the perfect hot water cylinder. However that is to say we can point you in the right direction.

 

We have below a range of hot water cylinders for our customers.

 

Indirect Hot Water Cylinders

Within Joule hot water cylinders we have a few key features. Firstly we have a single high recovery coil, bevelled stat pocket for better fitting and pre plugged secondary tapping resulting in easy installation. Further all key parts concealed within a sleek metallic grey stainless steel casing. As a result this allows us to keep our premium consistency throughout.

 

Direct Hot Water Cylinders

Our direct cylinders use heat sources that are located within the cylinder similar to immersion heaters, that heat the water. Joule’s direct cylinders are particularly located in either flats or apartments where there is no access to gas. Direct cylinders are supplied with 3kw Incoloy immersions fitted as standard with the option of Titanium and 6kw immersion. All our cylinders are manufactured with the same quality and performance built with branded quality components.

 

Twin Solar Hot Water Cylinders

We have designed our Cyclone range of hot water cylinders to work with any solar system. Twin solar cylinders are manufactured with 9mm sensor pockets for the solar controller. This ensures that our solar systems performs at its optimum level.

 

High Gain Indirect Hot Water Cylinders

For heat pump ready cylinders our coil quality sets us apart. No other coil type on the market today offers the same transfer rate as our smooth as stainless tube. Our high gain hot water cylinders have been manufactured with a  single high recovery coil in coil. We have constructed this key part to be smooth for durability and performance.

High Gain Solar Hot Water Cylinders

The Joule Cyclone high gain solar range of cylinders uses high recovery smooth tube coils for optimal performance. No other coil type on the market today offers the same transfer rate as smooth stainless tube.

Thermal Store 2.0 Hot Water Cylinders

The Joule Cyclone thermal store 2.0 is the ideal solution for multi energy applications. Domestic hot water is produced through the fresh water module mounted on the front of our cylinder. This results in far superior flow rates compared to the internal coil version. In addition the cylinder has a number of direct connections to allow for multiple heat source and zoning integration. Most importantly we manufacture our cylinders from stainless steel, in conclusion we maintain our high quality specification you see across the Cyclone range.

 

Horizontal Indirect Hot Water Cylinders

Our Horizontal range of cylinders come with cradles that are not only included but pre-fitted. As a result these can be easily removed if the hot water cylinder needs to squeeze through a tight access hatch.
