its an indirect hot water tank, with a copper coil inside to heat the water passed through it, much the same as this picture.
i recon if you cut the bottom off, flip the whole thing over, so the domed bit is at the bottom, you could turn it into a huge boiler!!!
1) its already got a built in chiller, you'd just connect a water supply to point number 4, an output to the sink/bucket at point number 3.
2) you could install a filter screen of some sort at the bottom(which was the top) so the connection where pipes 7 and 8 are attached, could be used to drain the boiler via a ball valve.
3) its got a handly hole for mounting your element in....
4) its designed to boiler stuff
5) its copper, which is great for heat transference.
6) i'm really bored just now and got a bit carried away with this idea.
obviously you'd want a new one, this ones absolutely knackered, but i recon it would be great! maybe something for JY to think about if his plastic boiler doesnt last the pace, but maybe a bit out of reg's league.
