OPERATING PRINCIPLE
The HeatMaster®is a high performance, direct fired hot water
storage heater, which has indirect heat transfer due to its Tank-
in-Tank construction.
At the heart of the HeatMaster®is a stainless steel cylinder
through which the flue tubes pass. This is surrounded by a mild
steel shell containing the primary water (neutral fluid). The outer
shell extends down to the combustion chamber and even around
the flue tubes. The area of the heat transfer surface is therefore
much greater than that of standard direct fired water heaters.
A circulating pump fitted to the primary circuit moves the water
around the tank, heating it faster and maintaining an even
temperature across the primary jacket.
The burner, either gas or oil, fires onto the primary water which
indirectly heats the stainless steel cylinder containing the DHW.
As with all Tank-in-Tanks, this is corrugated over its full height
and suspended in the HeatMaster®by its hot and cold water
connections.
The cylinder expands and contracts during use and this, together
with the fact that cold water does not come into contact with the
intense heat of the burner flame, means that limescale buildup
is prevented.
This scale resistant feature, along with the corrosion resistance
of stainless steel, eliminates the need for sacrifical anodes.
The HeatMaster®has one very major advantage over other direct
fired water heaters - because it heats the DHW with a primary
circuit, this primary water can be used to provide central heating
as well.
By connecting two, three, four or more HeatMaster®together in
a module, most hot water and heating demands can be met.
Indeed, when used in conjunction with HR and Jumbo hot water
storage tanks the HeatMaster®can supply even the largest hot
water requirement.
Standard equipment
The HeatMaster®60 N, 70 N and 100 N has the following items
as standard :
- ON/OFF switch
- Summer/Winter switch
- Timeclock
- Primary circulating shunt pump
- Primary expansion vessels
- Primary safety valve
- Pressure and temperature gauge
- Drain valve
- Body completely insulated in rigid polyurethane foam
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
Outer body
The outer body containing the primary fluid is made of thick STW
22 steel.
Tank-in-Tank heat exchanger
The ring-shaped inner tank with its large heating surface for
producing domestic hot water is built of Chrome/Nickel 18/10
stainless steel. It is corrugated over its full height by an exclusive
production process and entirely argon arc welded by the TIG
(Tungsten Inert Gas) method.
Combustion gases within the boiler
The combustion gas circuit is paint-protected and comprises:
• Flueways
Depending on output, HeatMaster®models contain several
steel flueways with an internal diameter of 64 mm. Each
flueway is fitted with a baffle of special steel designed to improve
heat exchange and reduce flue gas temperatures.
• Combustion chamber
The combustion chamber on HeatMaster®models is entirely
water cooled.
Insulation
The boiler body is fully insulated by rigid polyurethane foam with a
high thermal insulation coefficient, sprayed on without the use of
CFCs.
Casing
The boiler is covered by a steel jacket which has been scoured and
phosphated before being stove enamelled at 220 °C.
Burner
All HeatMaster®models can be fitted with pressure jet gas
burners or oil burners. The HeatMaster®60, 70 and 100 can also
be fitted with the low-NOx pre-mix BG 2000 gas burner.
