A sealed system boiler will be pressurised and a expansion vessel is required. A
separate hot water cylinder will also be required, which can be either vented
(requiring cold water storage) or un-vented. Because the system is pressurised
the hot water supplying the heating system and the hot water storage cylinder
can be pumped, thus speeding up the heating process resulting in a more
cost effective way of heating in comparison to a regular boiler
