Adding a 2 port valve and a dual thermostat to a y plan heating system when an unvented hot water cylinder is used. Output from the normal cylinder thermostat is connected to the high limit thermostat and the output from that powers the 2 port valve motor.
How A Y Plan Heating System Works Heating Design Boiler
Unvented cylinder y plan wiring diagram. This video covers the wiring and electrical operation of a y plan system. Generally only used when installing an unvented cylinder to an existing y plan. The problem is due to the combined cylinder stat and overheat stat. X range x plan wiring diagram unvented cylinder option gyellow cut off dhw sl coil. Heating control ntc cylinder sensor connect timer to the no dhw demand nc no dhw e orange grey 2. Here coloured wires indicate the permanent mains supply to the boiler and programmer.
Orange grey wires from ch zone are not required please isolate opentherm make safe. All products are insulated. It also allows you to satisfy the need for a positive shut off of water flow to an unvented cylinder in order to comply with g3 regulations if the cylinder were to overheat. The outer casing is a combination of resilient thermoplastic mouldings and plastic coated corrosion proofed steel sheet. These are shown at the bottom right of the diagram. Wiring is based on the standard y plan with the addition of a high limit thermostat and a 2 port motorised valve.

Also you could use your existing combi to run an s plan no need for a replacement boiler if the existing is sound. How does a 2 port valve work. The cylinder is a purpose designed unvented water heater. As said though the unvented cylinder needs to have its own zone valve so you would be better off using an s plan.
The s plan is popular because it is versatile you can add an unlimited number of zones simple to wire and easy to fault find on. The unit has a stainless steel inner vessel which ensures an excellent standard of corrosion resistance. This diagram shows the wiring layout using the most typical components. We always fit s plans now regardless easier to wire simpler in design. The problem is that telford only show a wiring diagram for an s plan in the installation manual.

Wiring diagrams and further information continues below. Connect it as per usual for a hot water cylinder if it is s plan if it is y plan the you need to add the two port valve in to the standard circuit so that the dhw demand from the cylinder stat opens the 2 port valve and then the microswitch of that valve fires the boiler. Y plan is suitable up to 26kw only. Though they do say that a y plan can be used with the safety zone valve.
