CYLINDERS AND COMBINATIONS

Albion ECO products are designed for use in systems employing ECO heat sources eg. solar,
geotherm and heat pumps with additional heat provided by fossil fuel i.e. gas, oil, electric input.

The installation must be carried out by a competent installer. In addition to the information
provided within this document all legal requirements and best practices must be adhered to.

Position the unit on a firm base which allows air flow under the concave bottom of the
product. Ensure the structure is capable of supporting the gross weight of the product ­see product label.

CYLINDERS ONLY

ECO cylinders are open vented storage vessels designed for use in static open vented
systems. The maximum working head is indicated on the product label. Ensure this cylinder
is suitable for your installation before proceeding. Connect ‘C’ cold feed to the cold feed
cistern via an isolation valve and fit a drain cock at the lowest point of this pipe adjacent
to the cylinder. Connect ‘A’ hot water draw off and open vent connection to hot outlets
and provide an open vent to the cold feed cistern. The minimum size for an open vent is
22mm. The vent must rise continually and be permanently open with no obstructions. Try
to avoid a wholly vertical vent pipe.

COMBINATION UNIT ONLY

ECO Combination units are open vented vessels with an integral cold feed cistern. The cold
feed and open vent pipes are also integral. Cold entry to the unit is via a ball valve and a
float (not provided) and an overflow warning pipe must be installed. Connection ‘L’
female BSP is a drain point. The hot water draw off ‘A’ connects directly to the hot
water outlets.

BOTH CYLINDERS AND COMBINATION UNITS

ECO Element

Connections ‘D’ and ‘E’ are the ECO element providing heat input into the base of the
unit. Connections are 22mm compression. ECO elements must be fully pumped and are
suitable for open and sealed systems up to a maximum pressure of 7.0 bar pressure. If
the pipework does not rise from the ECO element, ensure adequate air release is
provided. Connect flow to connection ‘E’. Thermostatic control of the ECO system is via
a probe thermostat (not supplied) and
ECO control system. Connection ‘F’ provides for this facility. Ensure the setting of the
thermostat will not allow the water temperature to exceed 65
