hot water storage tanks

• a thermal store for domestic hot water
• a buffer tank for the underfloor heating

The IDM Hygienik Hot Water Tank is a thermal storage system heated up by the heat pump. 

Dual Function Tanks

The Hygienik Tank provides domestic hot water and heating for your system.  It's a key element linking the whole heating design in your house.  It is a dual function tank that is both a thermal store for domestic hot water AND a buffer tank for the underfloor heating.  Fresh mains water is passed through a heat exchanger on the outside of the tank.  The result is fresh hot water that's never been stored so bacteria such as legionella cannot build up.  Basically the Hygienik Tank is a hot water cylinder and thermal store where you can "dump" any warm water from any other heat source (eg solar panels, oil/gas boilers, wood, wood chip or wood pellet-burning stoves, road energy system), providing a fully integrated package.  So all the systems and technologies are backing each other up - add a wind turbine and you can become totally self-sufficient!

why it's called Hygienik

function & technology

The Hygienik tank is a layered storage tank where the upper area is heated up ready for heating mains water, thus rendering it always fresh and hygienically clean.  In the Hygienik tank the heat is stored in the form of water for heating so you don't need a hot water boiler. 

The revolutions of the circulating pump are adjusted as required, depending on the quantity drawn off when the tap is turned on.

The IDM heat exchange station can also be built onto an existing heat storage system.  This means that:

• old installations can be modernised
• special storage tanks (for solar heating, district heating, block heating generators etc) can be equipped with fresh water technology
• larger installations can be carried out (with several heat exchanger stations)
• Heat exchanger stations have tap capacity from 25 litres/minute to 70 litres/minute

advantages

• Saves energy during heat production
• Reduces CO2: The Hygienik optimises the switch frequency of heating boilers and reduces emissions
• Intelligently regulated storage pump gives more hot water
• This system is the key link to which you connect your underfloor heating, solar panels, wood burning stoves, wood burning stoves) and makes the whole system fully integrated.
• The tank will not rust through
