How long does a Worcester Bosch cylinder take to heat up?

A Worcester Bosch Greenstore cylinder typically takes 20 to 45 minutes to heat from cold, depending on the cylinder size, boiler output, and incoming water temperature. Larger cylinders and heat pump installations may take longer.

How does a Worcester Bosch heat pump work?

A Worcester Bosch heat pump works similarly to a refrigerator in reverse. A water and glycol mixture circulates through the collector circuit, causing refrigerant in the evaporator to transform into gas. This gaseous refrigerant passes through a compressor, which significantly raises its temperature. The heated gas then moves to the condenser, where it releases its energy into the heating circuit. This thermodynamic cycle efficiently transfers thermal energy for home heating.
