Product Description

Joule Cyclone Platinum 170L Indirect Unvented Cylinder – TCEMVI-0170LFB

Please note: We can only deliver this cylinder to mainland England addresses.

The Joule Cyclone Platinum 170L Indirect Unvented Cylinder stores hot water for modern family homes and properties with moderate to higher hot water needs. Its 170-litre capacity makes it a useful choice for homes with several hot water outlets.

This indirect cylinder uses a high-recovery coil to transfer heat from a boiler to the stored water. In addition, Joule supplies a 3kW Incoloy immersion heater for electric backup. Therefore, this model suits homes with a boiler-fed central heating system.

Joule makes the cylinder body from strong Duplex LDX 2101 stainless steel. It also uses 316L stainless steel for the coil and fittings. As a result, the cylinder offers strong protection against corrosion and long-term wear.

The metallic grey outer case gives the cylinder a clean, premium finish. Furthermore, CFC-free and HCFC-free polyurethane foam insulation helps keep the water hot and reduces heat loss.

As an unvented cylinder, this model takes its water supply directly from the mains. Therefore, it can provide good flow and pressure at showers, baths and taps. However, the property must have suitable mains water flow and pressure.

Joule includes the main controls and safety parts needed for an unvented hot water system. However, the installer may need extra valves, controls, pipework and fittings to suit the property and boiler.

Where Can You Use a 170L Indirect Unvented Cylinder?

The Joule Cyclone Platinum 170L cylinder may suit family homes, larger flats and other properties with moderate to higher hot water needs. For example, it may suit a home with several people, more than one bathroom or a range of hot water outlets.

Because this is an indirect cylinder, a boiler heats the stored water through the internal coil. Meanwhile, the 3kW immersion heater provides another way to heat the water if required.

However, every household uses hot water differently. The right cylinder size will depend on the number of people, bathrooms, showers, baths and taps. Therefore, always ask a qualified installer to check the required capacity before you buy.

Why Choose a Joule Cyclone Platinum Cylinder?

The Joule Cyclone Platinum range offers a strong mix of performance, style and long-term value. Its metallic grey case gives the cylinder a smart finish, while the stainless steel construction helps provide lasting protection.

First, the high-recovery coil transfers heat from the boiler to the stored water. Next, the foam insulation helps reduce heat loss. Finally, the unvented design can provide better hot water pressure than a basic gravity-fed system.

The cylinder also includes a secondary return connection. Therefore, an installer can use it as part of a suitable secondary hot water circulation system. This feature may help larger properties reduce the wait for hot water at distant taps.
