Special & Custom Made Hot Water Cylinders
Beyond our standard ranges, World Heat Cylinders excels in the design and manufacture of special and custom made hot water cylinders tailored to unique project demands. We understand that not all applications can be met with off-the-shelf products. Therefore, if you require a cylinder with specific dimensions, non-standard tapping configurations, particular materials, or for an unusual application, our technical sales engineers are ready to assist.
Our UK-based manufacturing facility provides us with the flexibility to create genuinely bespoke hot water solutions, ensuring you receive a product that perfectly matches your requirements. From one-off custom units to small batch productions, we bring precision engineering and quality craftsmanship to every special cylinder project.
Examples of Special Cylinder Requirements We Can Meet
Our capabilities for producing special hot water cylinders include, but are not limited to:
- Custom Dimensions: Cylinders built to precise height, diameter, or capacity specifications to fit restricted plant rooms or unique spaces. This includes slimline, ultra-slimline, or horizontal orientations beyond our standard catalogue.
- Non-Standard Tappings: Specific sizes, types (e.g., BSP, flanged), quantities, and precise locations of connections for primary coils, secondary returns, immersion heaters, sensor pockets, and safety devices.
- Special Materials: While we primarily use high-grade Duplex Stainless Steel for maximum durability and corrosion resistance, and Mild Steel for certain applications like some buffer vessels or framework, we can discuss requirements for other specific steel grades if your project demands it for particular water conditions or process fluids.
- High-Pressure Requirements: Cylinders designed and certified for operating pressures exceeding standard specifications.
- Unusual Shapes or Formats: Beyond standard cylindrical designs, where feasible and compliant (e.g., rectangular tanks for specific space-saving needs, though these often fall under bespoke fabrication).
- Integrated Components: Incorporating specific pumps, additional coils for multiple heat sources, or unique control panel integrations not covered by our standard packaged cylinders.
- Cylinders for Specific Applications: Such as marine environments, highly specialised industrial processes, or compatibility with non-standard heat sources.
Our Design & Consultation Process
When you approach WH Cylinders with a requirement for a special or custom made hot water cylinder, our process ensures clarity and precision:
- Initial Discussion: We start by understanding your specific needs, application, desired performance, and any constraints (space, existing pipework, etc.).
- Technical Specification: Our engineers will work with you to define all critical parameters, including capacity, dimensions, materials, tapping details, pressure/temperature ratings, and any integrated components.
- Design & Quotation: We can provide drawings for approval and a detailed quotation for your custom cylinder.
- Manufacturing: Upon approval, your special cylinder is manufactured to exacting standards in our UK facility.
- Quality Assurance: All units undergo rigorous testing before dispatch to ensure they meet specification and our quality benchmarks.
Many “special” requirements may align with our existing bespoke product capabilities or our packaged cylinder offerings, which already provide a high degree of customisation. However, this “Special Cylinders” page addresses those truly unique, one-off, or particularly challenging requirements.
