<DIV>Arnaud,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It's one of the reasons I am using solar thermal for DHW and space heating in my project. You have to consider that there still will be unused heat in the summer.</DIV>
<DIV>Tank Type 534 works very well; you can add more than one heat exchangers in it.</DIV>

However, this heat is not used<BR>because the temperature in the tank is already at its maximum.<BR><BR>Now I am wondering about two things:<BR><BR>1/ Is this "quantity" of un-used hot water can justify the installation of a<BR>combined solar installation ( DHW AND space
