BST SERIES
Dual coil Hot Water cylinders for solar applications

Elbi High efficiency dual coil calorifies are suitable for use with renewable
energy (e.g. solar, geothermal) in Domestic Hot Water (“DHW”) applications.
By capitalizing on the daytime solar radiation Elbi BST calorifiers enable
remarkable storage and fast production of DHW during the peak hours. The
dual coil design resolves the excess in demand of DHW because the heated
water from the boiler will integrate, if necessary, the renewable energy from
the solar panels or the geothermal pipes.

Circulation Control Group for

Solar Systems

Circulation control group for solar systems (optional)

The circulation control group to is designed for solar water heating systems.

The main features are:

- to aid the circulation of the fluid in the primary circuit;
- to set the temperature and to avoid overpressure.

The circulation control group is supplied installed and connected to our solar
hot water cylinder for reliable and quick final installation.

The water in the calorifiers is heated by the dual coiled pipe heat
exchangers which have the heated water from the solar panel, the geother-
mal pipes or the boiler passing through them. The heated water pressure
and temperature limits are described herewith in the technical specifications
paragraph.

Elbi BST calorifiers are Vitreous Enamel coated for use with DHW. The
internal coating provides enhanced protection from the corrosion that takes
place in the cylinder during operations. These cylinders are supplied with
removable sacrificial magnesium anode and tester to facilitate the mainte-
nance operations.

ELBI’ s BST cylinders come with rigid polyurethane insulation CFC and
HCFC free, grey RAL 9006. The outer case is available in soft open cells
white polyurethane (BSV800 and BSV1000 with inspection flange).

Warranty: 5 years
