SOLUS II

SOLUS II is a stratified combi store that provides hot water and buffers heat for the heating system. Its patented stratification system keeps the hottest water at the top, and the internal hot-water heat exchanger works without pumps.

The store is insulated with LE-EPS and comes in two lines, Comfort and Comfort-Pro. The Comfort-Pro 560 and 1050 were the first steel combi stores to be awarded the Blue Angel environmental label.

A thermal store is a way of storing and managing thermal energy until it is needed. It can provide mains pressure hot water and can supply your heating system (radiators, underfloor etc.). It is possible to combine the thermal store with all types of heating systems, including existing or new oil, gas, or biomass boilers, wood stoves, solar thermal installations and also heat pumps.

We are the UK distributor for the Consolar SOLUS II thermal store, this can be supplied in a range of different sizes and integrated with all types of boiler and heating systems.

It uses Consolars’ cleverly designed and patented thermo-siphon high efficiency heat exchangers to heat the store from the solar system and provide pressurised hot water while maintaining heat stratification of the water within the store. The heat exchanger construction is such that the water is forced to flow through a series of highly “finned” tubes, giving the greatest possible surface area for heat to be exchanged.

The store can roughly be considered as divided in to three, notional, volumes: the upper third for hot water production, the central third as heating and the lower volume as solar capacity.
