Question about installing a wood boiler stove

[plumbnuts]

Buffy
With respect and as said you are not allowed to connect solid fuel heating to an unvented cylinder.

Richard
Solar is different and requires a drainback unit/ thermostat and suitable controls. This will control the temperature of the dhw in the cylinder and meets the building regs.

check out the ti sun cylinders -thermal stores.i ve done about 8 in the last year.they come with scematic detailed drawings. i don t do anything that may damage my so far good name. i do nothing absolutely nothing unless i am 100percent certain i know what i am at.was expecting your reply.we do alot of this type of work the boss is operating with 22yrs now.all private large houses when we do domestic stuff.

in this case would a heatstore system be better ?still mains fed hot water but open vented and no blow out pipes from the cylinder to run not something i know much about and would be interested to hear others comments on this set up

No offence meant and I'm sure you do a good job.
You are talking about thermal stores which are a different ball game altogeather, the topic got onto unvented cylinders and solid fuel

the heating loop in the thermal store is a closed circuit was what i was sayin and we do the solid fuel systems in the same type of manner.

 

[plumbnuts]

The thermal stores have an overheat protection and will discharge water to drain in order to lower the temperature, unvented cylinders do not and cannot control the temp from solid fuel although they are a far better system and not so prone to limescale build up as thermal stores. However thermal stores can be connected to a gas boiler, solar, electrical heating and solid fuel or all four at once.

spot on steve from what i know of thermal stores.
back to the back boilers...our systems seem to work perfectly with the addition of blow off pressure and temp. maybe its technically incorrect but i have not made this up myself only learned it from the company i work for.the boss is a mechanical engineer with 40 yrs plumbing experience.apparently he is very highly regarded in ireland.one of the first registered solar,heatpump,air con installers in the republic as they came on line over the years.i value your comments .things are more strict in the uk as regards regs.we are a tad behind on the paper work stuff.i can only vouch for work i have done and seen done from personnal experience.

Too much red tape in the UK Buffy!

solar heat is controlled, it has or should have a pump and by pass incorporated on the pipework between panels and cylinder, operated by the controller and pipe stats.

the stove will have an amount of water in it,the relief valve should be as close as possible,in case the circs comming of it are isolated or blocked.
without the relief valve the stove would super heat the water, resulting in the stove exploding throwing red hot , water and steam over every one in the room, if you were lucky to miss the water the burning wood and the embers would ignite what was left of the room and its hysterical occupants. picking white hot cast iron off their burned scalded bodies
if you dont know don't do

lee i am beginning to consider my part in the death of some poor unfortunate as a result of this job.
lennox. i stated already that even experienced plumbers would have difficulty with such an installation.i am only fortunate to work alot on this type of thing and thats why i tried to help.if u are going ahead with this u need to post drawing of what u are going to do exactly. p.s can u leave the b boiler open vented altogether.

 

[migoplumber]

sorry lenox, but youve asked the same question on different threads, you dont know what you are doing judging by your answers, and its not a case of being rude, i would love to help you, but you need some basic fundamentalist knowledge in not killing people. i wont post to you anymore, sent you a private message explaining what could happen. google it, then you can blame google when you do vaporise some womans head off.

At the end of the day, this is a website for burying our own super plumber ego, and for helping and advice, both giving and recieving.

sometimes the best help is no help !!
