Structure and functional elements

The ecoTEC plus 937 consists of 

a modified combination boiler and
a 15 litre shift load storage tank.

Mains cold water heated by the combi unit is fed to the 
heat insulated storage tank by means of a modulating 
storage tank charging pump. 
The combi unit supplies the shift load storage tank with 
electrical energy for the storage tank charging pump.
