Baxi has launched an ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder. The launch follows the increasing demand for air source heat pumps (ASHPs) and is designed to help engineers simplify and speed up installations.
Designed specifically to work with Baxi ASHPs, the company says the Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder provides optimal heating and hot water performance while helping homeowners save energy.
The cylinder has been designed to help engineers save time on installation as much of the pipework and fittings are already in place. It comes pre-wired, to further reduce the time needed on electrical connections.
The new cylinder is available in capacities of 170, 210, 250 or 300 litres to meet the requirements of a wide range of projects. The company says it has a compact footprint, enabling installation into an airing cupboard or smaller space.
Due to its extra-large coil designed specifically for use with heat pumps, Baxi says its ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder delivers faster heating times and increases the availability of hot water. The cylinder is suited to homes with multiple bathrooms thanks to a flow rate of 76 L/min and an in-built back-up immersion heater.
An intuitive integrated controller enables direct control of domestic hot water and central heating. With the addition of an optional accessory kit, heating can be controlled across two zones.
To simplify commissioning, the cylinder comes equipped with Bluetooth connectivity so that engineers can wirelessly connect to the Baxi Commissioning Tool via the Baxi Start App. If used alongside the Baxi uSense 2 Smart Room Thermostat, the homeowner can access remote comfort control.
Manufactured from “Duplex” stainless steel the tank comes with a two-year warranty as standard, with 10-years on the inner tank.
Rob Pearse, Residential Business Director at Baxi, said: “We’re continually looking for new ways to support installers and that’s why we’re excited to bring our new Baxi ASHP Pre-plumbed Cylinder to market. It’s been designed from the ground up to make installation and servicing simpler for engineers and provide the reliable and efficient heat and hot water that will keep their customers happy.”
