Retrofit wood-fired hot water into new, oil-fired CH and HW system?

[SimonG]

This don't make sense to me???

Even less to me as he has posted seperate topic on backflow. So it's not running 'no issues'.

That'll be the H2 panel then? I noticed on their website they have a version for unvented.

Yeh H2 panel it is , I have done a good few of various set ups and had very good results

Still haven't had chance to use one, yet. Customers tend to think great idea, tie in the heating and the stove, until they see how much it will be!

Yes this is the down side and it's not just the extra cost of the panels (which ain't ) it's extra work (which can be quite a lot) that boosts the price

The Domestic HW is using an vented dual coil hot water tank.
The original heating system was oil fired un-vented feeding into one of the coils.
A solid fuel system was fitted using the spare coil on its primary circuit, the oil fired system was turned into a vented system and a both then fed via pumps and check valves into the now vented radiator circuit

Switch your unvented cylinder to a thermal store cylinder and there you go!

 

[Reg Man]

You must have a thermal store when using unvented hot water vessel in conjuction with a solid fuel appliance due to the thermal restrictions in heat controls. With solid fuel, it is difficult to control the heat output and therefore you require seperation to enable access heat to be dumped before reaching an unvented system.
