The diagram illustrates how a domestic heating system works. It shows how the tank, boiler, and pipes ensure a constant flow of hot water to both radiators and the taps.
Overall, this system consists of radiators, which are used for heating the house, and taps, which provide the house with hot water.
In the first stage, cold water comes into the house. This water goes to the storage tank, which also has an overflow pipe for extra water. Then, there are two follows for this water. The first direction provides cold water to taps, while in the second one, water goes to the boiler. The boiler works on gas or oil. A pump then circulates the hot water in two separate cycles.
In the first cycle, it flows to the hot water radiators. Simultaneously, in the second cycle, hot water from the boiler goes through small tubes inside the hot water tank. There, it heats the cold water without mixing with it.
