Hi,
Has anybody experienced linking a wood boiler stove to a oil fired central heating system? My client has picked up on this kind of set up via www.boilerstoves.co.uk the drawings on this website are very basic and don't give much of an idea.
The system for my client is for central heating only
1) should this kind of system have 2 independant pumps, one for the wood boiler stove and the other for the oil boiler.
2) If using the wood boiler stove on its own
should the water in the system be prevented from flowing through the oil boiler, and the same if the oil boiler is used on its own should it be prevented from running through the wood boiler stove.
The best idea I can come up with is for both boilers to have independant pumps with motorised valves that open when energised when the pumps are running, so if one of the boilers is not running, the water in the system will be prevented from running through the other.
If I'm a million miles away, any advice or comments would be appreciated
Len
thanks
