Nowadays, most homes in cold climates like New Zealand require a regular supply and storage of hot water. The standard way to store hot water is by using a copper cylinder, which is often located in a ventilated cupboard.
A hot water cylinder receives cold water n the following manner. Cold water is piped into the base of the hot water cylinder. When it becomes heated, it rises to the top of the cylinder. It is then taken out through pipes and diverted to the hot taps and showers. The water that is taken out of the hot water cylinder is refreshed by the cold water at the base and the cycle continues.
A cylinder of around 250 liters capacity is enough to take care of an average family’s daily needs. If the family is larger, then a larger capacity hot water cylinder is recommended. A normal person uses 40 to 60 liters of hot water per day.
Hot water cylinders should be located close to the outlets. This is where a cupboard location comes in. The hot water cylinder and the piping should be insulated for maximizing energy efficiency. The cylinders should be serviced annually with regular flushing being carried out to remove the water sediments that are left at the bottom of the cylinder. Vents blockage should also be checked periodically.
A hot water cylinder uses around 30% of a house monthly electricity costs. A solar hot water cylinders can help saves in electricity bills. It is a practical solution for your energy needs and is a form of renewable energy source.
