COMMERCIAL SELECTION GUIDE
These recommendations are based on the guidelines in BS 6700. Guidance should be sought for unusual applications, e.g. high flow-rate showers, large baths etc.
| Typical Commercial Application | Indirect Units |
| Large House - 6 bed/4 Bathrooms | 2 x210 |
| Guest House - 8 bed/4 Bathrooms | 2 x 300 |
| Small Hotel - 8 bed/8 Bathrooms | 3 x 210 |
| Sports Pavilion (25 people/4 showers) | 2 x 300 |
| Sports Pavilion (25 people/6 showers) | 3 x 210 |
| Student House (25 people/3 bathrooms) | 3 x 300 |
| Old Peoples' Home (60 beds/10 bathrooms) | 5 x 300 each supplying 2 bathrooms |
Example illustration.
A school swimming pool has 5 showers in each of two changing rooms. The shower heads are flow-restricted to 9 litres per minute (2/3 of this will be hot water). Usually there are 3 one hour lessons each morning and three each afternoon. Assuming a class size of 30 children.
Maximum demand = 10 shower heads x 9 litres/min = 90 litres/min. This is more than one Ultrasteel can supply. At least two Ultrasteels will be needed to provide this (see flowrate graphs) Total demand = 30 children x 6 litres/minute x 5 minute shower each = 900 litres 3x300 litre units will be required
Reheat time has to be a maximum of one hour so it is reheated in time for the next lesson. An AUI300 can reheat its entire contents in 60 minutes with a boiler power of 15kW. So total boiler power required = 45kW. If direct units were used they would have to be fitted with immersion heaters rated at 15kW (typically 1 x 9kW + 1 x 6 kW)

SOLAR UNVENTED CYLINDERS
Albion Ultrasteel Solar cylinders have been designed specifically with Solar applications in mind. Featuring a purpose designed solar coil which allows maximum heat transfer of solar energy into the stored water, the cylinders are suitable for use with a wide range of solar systems now available in the UK and are an efficient and environmentally friendly way of providing domestic hot water. Ultrasteel Solar cylinders also offer the benefit of mains pressure hot water - powerful showers and fast filling baths.
Ultrasteel Solar cylinders are available in a range of sizes from 180 to 300 litres and in Direct or Indirect versions. Ultrasteel Solar cylinders are manufactured from high grade Duplex stainless steel and come with a 25 year fully transferable Guarantee on the inner container.
Ultrasteel Solar Cylinders are designed to accept heat input from a renewable/sustainable (ie: Solar) heat source. Where this input does not fully meet the desired temperature a guaranteed quantity of water can be heated to an acceptable temperature by the householders traditional heat source of gas, oil or electricity. The Domestic Heating Compliance Guide document L1A and L1B provides excellent advice in sizing both cylinder designated solar areas and heat exchangers to the surface area of the solar collectors. Using this guide Albion are able to offer sizing advice for specification.
