What is a Cylinder Thermostat?

...An explanation for householders

A cylinder thermostat switches on and oﬀ the heat supply from the

boiler to the hot-water cylinder. It works by sensing the tempera-

ture of the water inside the cylinder, switching on the water

heating when the temperature falls below the thermostat setting, and switching it

oﬀ once this set temperature has been reached.

Turning a cylinder thermostat to a higher setting will not make the water heat up

any faster. How quickly the water heats up depends on the design of the heating

system, for example, the size of the boiler and the heat exchanger inside the

cylinder.

The water heating will not work if a time switch or programmer has switched it oﬀ.

And the cylinder thermostat will not always switch the boiler oﬀ, because the

boiler sometimes needs to heat the radiators.

Cylinder thermostats are usually ﬁtted between one quarter and one third of the

way up the cylinder. The cylinder thermostat will have a temperature scale marked

on it, and it can be adjusted to the chosen temperature, then left to do its job. The

thermostat must be designed to kill oﬀ harmful bacteria in the water. Raising the

temperature of the stored hot water unnecessarily results in wasted energy and

increases the risk of scalding.
