Can anyone please explain the pipework on this cylinder to me. It’s got a mate of mine scratching his head and I have never seen one before in my life. I understand the concept but the pipework and configuration make no sense to me.

Yes mate. But cannot Work out the pipe connections for the heating? Something doesn’t seem right.is it using the cylinder as a heat store
Not sure. I have text him and asked him the questionLooks like some strange type of het store But never seen anything like this, is this in an ex council house ? cos they did some very strange systems
He said possibly ex councilLooks like some strange type of het store But never seen anything like this, is this in an ex council house ? cos they did some very strange systems
The one going into the TMV and bottom of cylinder is mains pressure mate. (Apparently)figured it out
Blending valve pipe with shock atrestor on hot out
Pipe going to bottom of cylinder cold tank into tmv and cylinder
Left pipe coming out of tmv blended hot
Defo a thermal store mate

Yes mate correctYea so coil is under mains pressure normal so that means he's got high pressure at the hot tap ?
We both said is the pipe top left just another HW draw off?Two options either swap for another thermal store or change for an unvented and run a discharge
It is mate it’s a combi cylinder. It’s all the pipes we were questioning.The F&E for the heating system is usually on top of the cylinder

I thought that but second guessed myself. Then it would exit where the pump is?Edit no it can't be a hot (was thinking src) but no
could be flow from the boiler

No idea mate working with what I have. It’s for a mate. Said I would post it here and get everyone’s thoughts.This in a hard water area seems lots of corrosion on some fittings, where does the silver pipe behind the pump go ? could do with a couple more photos from a different angle
