The Telford Tempest 300L Indirect Heat Pump Cylinder is designed to store domestic hot water in systems using an air- or ground-source heat pump as the primary heat source. Its purpose-designed 3m² coil supports heat transfer from a compatible heat pump, and a factory-fitted 3kW immersion heater provides backup heating. The cylinder is made from duplex stainless steel and is supplied with an unvented kit and external expansion vessel.
The manufacturer’s product information lists a 300-litre capacity, 1780mm height and 580mm diameter. It gives the empty weight as 44kg and the standing heat loss as 2.22kWh per 24 hours, equivalent to 92W. Check the cylinder dimensions, access route, connections and system compatibility with a suitably qualified installer before purchase.
