Heating elements for storage cylinders

Heating inserts for reservoirs are compact heat exchangers designed for integration into IVAR.TANKS storage systems. These inserts are manufactured from copper or tinned copper ribbed tubing and are assembled with a perforated flange, flange lid, and fastening hardware. They are used in hot water preparation systems and for heating stored water in domestic or commercial applications. The inserts are installed inside the tank and connected to a heat source such as a boiler or heat pump via external piping. They ensure efficient thermal transfer while maintaining the structural integrity of the tank.

Available in different lengths and surface areas, these inserts are suited for a range of tank sizes and system capacities. The heat exchange surface varies from 1.21 m² to 2.63 m², depending on the model and required thermal output. Installation requires matching the flange diameter (180 mm or 290 mm) to the tank opening and ensuring proper alignment with the internal structure.

How to choose

Select the correct flange diameter (180 mm or 290 mm) to match the tank opening.
Choose the appropriate heat exchange surface area (1.21 m², 1.80 m², or 2.63 m²) based on the required thermal capacity.
Verify compatibility with the tank model (IVAR.TANKS) and the type of heat source (boiler, heat pump, etc.).
Consider the material type (copper or tinned copper) based on the system’s chemical environment and corrosion resistance needs.
Ensure the insert length fits within the tank dimensions and allows for proper circulation of water around the heat exchanger.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between IVAR.SA and IVAR.SR heating inserts?
IVAR.SA inserts are made of copper ribbed pipe, while IVAR.SR inserts are made of tinned copper ribbed pipe, offering enhanced corrosion resistance in specific applications.

Can these inserts be used in all IVAR.TANKS models?
They are specifically designed for IVAR.TANKS storage tanks and require matching flange diameters (180 mm or 290 mm) for proper installation.

How is the heat exchange surface area calculated?
The surface area is determined by the length and ribbing pattern of the copper tubing, with higher values indicating greater thermal transfer efficiency.
