About the Joule Invacyl 90L Direct Cylinder
The Joule Invacyl 90L Direct Cylinder is designed to store domestic hot water in an unvented system. Its direct configuration uses an immersion heater to heat the stored water, making it an option for properties requiring an electrically heated hot water cylinder without relying on an indirect coil connected to a boiler.
The cylinder uses LDX 2101 stainless steel with a coated mild steel outer casing. Its 50mm dense PU foam insulation is specified to provide thermal retention, with a stated standing heat loss of 1.25 kWh over 24 hours. The compact 90-litre capacity is intended for smaller-scale hot water demands, although actual suitability depends on household occupancy, usage patterns and recovery time.
