Alpha Heating Innovation

For homes with above average hot water demands, look no further than FlowSmart, which at last enables even large households to enjoy the energy efficiency benefits of the combination boiler.

Alpha Heating FlowSmart

Alpha FlowSmart FlowSmart incorporates a CD35C combination boiler, a GasSaver flue gas heat recovery unit and either a 25 or 50 litre thermal store.

All components can be sited in a space smaller than the average airing cupboard and there is no need for any tanks in the loft – a useful factor when considering a loft conversion.

In addition, Alpha now supplies a low voltage PV (photovoltaic) immersion heater as an additional renewable energy source that can be added to the FlowSmart system, to further increase energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions.

Alpha FlowSmart The combination boiler is the best and most energy efficient option for most homes with average hot water demands. They provide hot water only when there is a demand and operate without the need to keep a permanent store of hot water.

But due to limits on the combi boiler’s ability to supply large volumes of hot water to a number of outlets at the same time, the less efficient conventional boiler and hot water cylinder set-up is the usual choice for larger properties.

The Alpha FlowSmart system overcomes these issues and in fact, more than matches the hot water performance of a system boiler and 200 litre unvented cylinder, while using 25% less gas.

The low voltage PV immersion heater consists of two 12V heater units encased in a 15mm copper sleeve and has been designed specifically to be used in conjunction with a maximum of two 12V / 80W photovoltaic solar panels and the Alpha FlowSmart 25 or 50 thermal store.
