Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove can heat radiators as well as provide hot water for your home. This can help you save money on heating bills.

Adding a wood burning stove with a built in back boiler to an existing central heating system is simple and can be accomplished by a competent plumbing engineer. This article explains the process.

Features

When a stove has a boiler, heat generated from burning wood or other fuel is used to heat hot water in a cylinder as well as to heat the space. A boiler stove is also able to heat radiators throughout the home. We have a broad range of multifuel stoves that have back boilers. All are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

A standard wood stove produces heat in one direction, when it is passing through the flue outlet of the firebox. A multifuel stove equipped with back boilers can generate more energy because the heat is distributed over different directions efficiently. This means that more heat is directed to the room and less is lost through the outlet of the flue.

By putting a pipe in, you can transfer the heat generated by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with a boiler to another room. This can result in the heating of a hot water cylinder, radiators or even a shower that isn't pressurised. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature of the hot water tank. The radiators' pumps will be activated once the desired temperature is attained. This will prevent the hot-water tank from running out and ensure a constant supply of hot water for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel with a back-boiler has a powerful output of 21, 000 watts and can be used for a whole home via the central heating system, or even a water cylinder for the domestic. The CSB is a very adaptable stove and will burn most types of wood logs and can also burn anthracite, coal, briquettes, and smokeless fuel. Alternatively it can be run as a separate wood burner and heated using thermosyphon technology. The CSB is compatible with both open and closed systems of central heating (not compatible with pressured systems). A CSB is typically equipped with an stainless steel thermal store or neutraliser tank.

Fuel type

The distinction between a regular multi fuel stove and a log burner that has a back boiler is that the latter comes with an inbuilt water tank that can be used to heat domestic hot water sources and even radiators in your home. This feature makes boiler stoves a popular choice for environmentally-conscious homeowners who want to reduce their reliance on gas, oil or electricity.

Wraparound boiler stoves are the most popular type of multifuel stoves with back boilers. They feature an water tank that runs across the sides and back of the firebox. This means that the boiler section of the stove is able to effectively hug the firebox, increasing heating efficiency and 349338 power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a variety of top manufacturers like Stratford and Hunter Stoves.

Another option is the clip-in boiler stove, which features the water tank, which replaces the firebricks located at the rear of the stove's firebox. These types of stoves aren't capable of producing large volumes of hot water, as the boiler tank has a smaller surface area than an all-round boiler stove.

There are several ways that you can connect a multifuel stove with back boiler to your system, www.349338.xyz but the most common is to use it as a radiator inside a vented central heating system. This lets the boiler stove be a second source of heat by turning on when the gas central heating turns on and topping up the temperature.

Installing a wood-burning fireplace with an boiler back is possible by connecting it to a multi coil hot water tank or heat accumulator. In this case, your stove will heat the hot water tank before transferring it to your radiators using a thermostatic valve. This setup is more complicated and should only by carried out by a qualified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove fitted with a back burner is installed incorrectly, it can be dangerous. This is because when the stove is being used the water in the boiler transforms into steam, which can cause the system to explode if it's not properly vented.

Fuel supply

The heat produced by the stove's combustion can be transferred to a tank of water via a boiler that is integrated into the back. It is possible to use the heat in your home to reduce carbon emissions and energy bills. It also makes the stove more efficient as it stops heat from going up the chimney. The system is generally referred to as a wetback wood burning stove or a back boiler stove.

Modern, attractive multifuel stoves that have a back boiler have a hot water cylinder with the heating unit already built into the body of the appliance. You can connect the stove to the hot water system in your home to heat your taps and radiators. Some older boiler stoves could come with a separate hot-water cylinder or they might have the boiler mounted into an adjustable box that could be placed over the fire chamber.

This model features a large firebox that has a large ceramic glass window that is complemented by an " advanced air wash system' to keep an unobstructed view of flames. The large stove also has both the top and bottom (Primary and Secondary) air vents that allow simple but effective control over the burn rate and heat output. The chrome door handle as well as air controls provide a fashionable appearance to the stove.

If the stove requires more air, a thermostatic probe attached to the stove will open and close an additional vent in the rear. This improves the flow of air through the heat exchanger and increases the room temperature output which helps the stove attain its maximum efficiency.

The 'Elegance B" models have four water ports (2 x return and 2 x flow) on the back of the stove. These can be shut off when only one circuit is required. If properly plumbed, these stoves can heat up to 10 radiators in average size and the hot-water system for domestic use.

We offer a broad selection of wood burning stoves, 349338 including back boilers from the UK's top manufacturers. We also stock a wide selection of boiler stoves, thermal stores and pumps for these models.

Installation

There are a variety of ways to connect a boiler stove to your central heating system. It is possible to connect it to a combi boiler by using a special adaptor, or you can install an energy storage unit that will allow your wood-burning stove to supply the hot water system on its own (this requires an additional header tank to be installed in the loft). You can also assign priority to hot water by connecting loops for radiators and heat loss radiators using injector tees to the stove and feeding the system from there. A thermopile thermostat can be used to control the pump in the radiator loop. This will ensure that the system is running only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.

The addition of a wood burner with back boiler to an existing system can be fairly simple. It is dependent on the plumbing and system layout, but modern open vented systems are capable of connecting a boiler stove with little effort or expense. It is recommended to seek the advice of an HETAS qualified person, a local plumber or installer who is familiar with wet systems prior to putting in a multifuel stove with back boiler.

A typical system will involve the thermal store, a hot water accumulator tank and a wood burner with a back boiler in the firebox. The stove is connected to the system through one of the back boiler water ports which are sized at 1 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) and 349338.xyz are easily adapted for the size of 22mm or 28mm pipes by using compression fittings from the majority of reputable plumbing retailers.

The thermal store is a huge tank that has the capacity to hold an enormous amount of heat. It is also connected to the radiators as well as the stove through a network of pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch regulates the radiator loop, which only turns on the heating when the water temperature in the system has reached 55 degrees C.

The CSB multi-fuel wood burner, which comes with a back boiler is a very popular choice. It is a powerful stove that can provide power to up to 10 radiators within your home. It can burn a wide variety of fuels, including coal, logs as well as smokeless fuel, peat and. The CSB can also be used as an additional heating source such as biomass pellet boilers or log gasifier.
