What is tundish heating?
A tundish, for sealed heating (boilers) and unvented hot water heaters, is a device that allows water released from a combined T/PRV or single PRV (caused by an overpressure or over temperature in the system), to be passed from the valve to a downstream pipe and allowing the user to see the water passing, via an open …
What is a ladle dryer?
Ladle Dryers are equipped with Nutec Bickley’s burners which promote a gas recirculation in order to increase convection heat transfer into the refractory lining of the pot, decrease heating times and increase the uniformity of temperature of the refractory.
Why is a tundish needed?
A tundish is installed to prevent cross-contamination between an overflow pipe and a drain pipe. The other purpose of a tundish is to provide an air gap through which someone can see if water is flowing from the pressure release valve.
Do you need a tundish?
A tundish is used in many different appliances, not just heating systems. It can be found in air conditioning units. The condensate that is created by the unit needs to go somewhere. It is discharged to a drain pipe, which is why a tundish is required.
What is Ladle preheater?

Does a tundish need to be visible?
The tundish is a conical-shaped piece of plastic that sits within two pieces of pipe. It contains a clear window that allows you to see into the pipe and look out for any drips that shouldn’t be there. It must be positioned within 600 mm of the PRV in a safe and visible position so that it can be checked.
Where is a tundish located?
A tundish sits on the piping just outside the cylinder near the temperature and pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve (PRV) will ensure that the pressure inside the tank doesn’t get too high as the hot water goes in. The tundish is a conical-shaped piece of plastic that sits within two pieces of pipe.
