Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler
A multifuel stove can heat radiators as well as provide hot water for the home. This will help you save money on heating bills.
It is easy to add a wood-burning stove that has an integrated back boiler to central heating systems that already exists. A professional plumber is able to do this. This article explains the process.
Here are a few examples of
When a stove is equipped with a boiler that produces heat, the heat generated from burning wood or other fuel is used to warm the water in a hot water cylinder and to heat rooms. 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 come with full manufacturer warranties.
A standard wood burner gives heat in one direction when it passes through an outlet for the flue. Multifuel stoves with back boiler produce more energy because the heat is distributed in multiple directions more efficiently. This means that more heat is directed into the room and less heat is wasted through the outlet of a flue.
By putting a pipe in, you can transfer the heat created by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with the boiler to another room. This could be used to heat a hot-water cylinder, radiators, or even a nonpressurised shower. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature in the hot water tank. The pump for the radiators will be activated when the level is attained. This stops the hot water from being depleted and ensures that the hot water cylinder is able to provide a steady supply of hot water for domestic use.
The CSB multifuel stove that comes with a back boiler has an impressive power output of 21 kw. It can power a whole house via the central heating system or a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a very versatile stove and will burn most kinds of wood logs and can also burn anthracite, coal brquettes, briquettes and smokeless fuel. Additionally, it can be used as a separate wood burner, and heated by thermosyphon technology. The CSB is compatible with both closed and open central heating systems (not compatible with pressured systems). A CSB comes with a stainless-steel thermal store or neutraliser.
Fuel type
The distinction between a regular multi fuel stove and a log burner with back boiler is that the latter has a built-in water tank that can be used to heat domestic hot water sources and even radiators inside 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 common kind of multifuel stoves that come with back boilers. They feature a water tank running along the sides and back of the firebox. This means that the boiler portion of the stove is able to effectively hug the firebox, which increases heating efficiency and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a number of leading manufacturers, including Stratford Stoves and Hunter Stoves.
Another alternative is the clip-in boiler stove, which has an water tank that replaces the firebricks at the rear of the stove's firebox. These types of stoves aren't able of producing large quantities of hot water, since the boiler tank has a smaller surface area than a wraparound boiler stove.
You can install a multifuel stove that has an back boiler within your system in a variety of ways but the most common way is to pipe it as an element of a vented heating system. The boiler stove can be utilized as an additional source of heating by turning it on when the gas central heating is turned on.
You can also install a wood burning stove with back boiler by connecting it to a multi-coil hot water tank or an accumulator of heat. In this scenario the stove will heat up the hot water tank, and then send it to your radiators using a thermostatic control valve. This is a more difficult installation procedure and should only be carried out by a trained heating engineer.
If a multifuel stove that has back burners is installed improperly, it could be dangerous. When the stove is used by the water in the boiler can transform into steam. This can cause the system to explode if it's not properly vented to explode.
Fuel supply
The heat generated by the stove's combustion is transferred to a tank of water via a boiler that is that is built into the back of the stove. You can utilize the heat inside your home to lower carbon emissions and energy costs. This makes the stove more energy efficient because heat isn't lost through the chimney. This is also referred to as a back boiler or a wetback stove.
Modern multifuel stoves that are aesthetically attractive and come with back boilers come with an already installed hot water cylinder. This allows you to connect the stove to your domestic hot water system and use it to heat both your radiators and taps around the house. Certain older models of boiler stoves have an additional hot-water cylinder or the boiler could be installed in a removable box that can be placed on top the fire chamber.
This model features a huge firebox, a large glass window and an "advanced air wash system" to maintain a clear view. This big stove comes with top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to permit easy but efficient control of the burn rate and output. The chrome door handle and air controls give a stylish appearance to the stove.
When the stove requires more air the thermostatic probe that is attached to the stove will open and close an additional vent at the rear. This increases air flow through the heat exchanger, which boosts the output of room temperature.
The models of the 'Elegance B' come with 4 water ports (2 x flow and 2 x return) at the rear of the stove, these can be shut off if only one water heating circuit is required. If plumbed correctly these stoves are able to heat up to 10 radiators in average size and the domestic hot-water system.
We have a huge range of wood stoves with back boilers that are available from the UK's leading manufacturers. We also have a wide range of boiler stove parts such as pumps, thermal stores, and spares for these models, which means we can assist you with all of your enquiries.
Installation
T here are a variety of ways to connect a stove boiler to your central heating system. It can be connected to a combi boiler using a specific adaptor or install a thermal store which allows the wood-burning stove to supply your hot water system by itself (this requires a separate cylinder inside the loft to serve as the header tank). You can also give preference to hot water by connecting loops for radiators and heat loss radiators through injector tees that connect to the stove and feeding the system from there. A thermopile thermostat can be used to regulate the pump in the radiator loop. This will ensure that the system is running only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.
It is possible to connect an existing wood stove with back boiler to a heating system. It's dependent on the plumbing system and layout but most modern open vented systems are capable of connecting a boiler stove with very little upheaval or cost. Before installing a multifuel back boiler it is best to consult an HETAS-certified person, a plumber or installer who is familiar with wet systems.
A typical system would comprise a thermal store and an accumulator tank to store hot water and an electric woodburner with a back boiler in the firebox. The stove is connected to the system through one of back boiler water ports that are sized at 1 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) and are easily converted to 22mm or 28mm pipes with compression fittings that are available from most reputable plumbing merchants.
The thermal store is a huge tank that can store a lot of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators via pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch controls the loop of radiators that only activates the heating when the water temperature in the system has reached 55 degrees C.
The CSB multi-fuel wood burner, which comes with back boiler is a popular choice. It's a powerful stove that can provide power to up to 10 radiators in your home. It can burn logs, peat, coal and smokeless fuel. The CSB can also be used with an additional source of heat like a log gasifier or biomass pellet boiler.
