Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove with a back boilers can heat radiators as well as heating hot water for the house. This could help you save money on heating bills.

It is easy to connect a wood-burning stove that has an integrated back boiler to central heating systems that is already in place. A professional plumber is able to do this. This article will explain the procedure.

Features

When a stove has a boiler, heat generated by burning wood or another fuel is used to heat hot water in a cylinder as well as to heat a space. A boiler stove is able to heat radiators throughout the home. If you're searching for a multifuel stove with back boiler, we have a wide selection to pick from, all of which come with a complete manufacturer's warranty.

A typical wood burner puts heat in one direction as it passes from the firebox through an outlet for the flue. A multifuel stove with back boilers will produce more energy as the heat is distributed over multiple directions in a more efficient way. This means that more heat is directed towards the room and less is lost through a flue outlet.

Once the heat from a multifuel woodburning stove with a back boiler is used to heat a room it is then possible for this heat to be transferred elsewhere in the house by utilizing an insulated pipe loop. This can lead to the heating of the hot water cylinder or radiators, or even a shower that is not pressurised. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature in the hot water tank. The radiators' pumps will be activated when the temperature is attained. This prevents the hot water from running out and ensures that the hot water cylinder is able to provide an uninterrupted supply of hot water available for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel stove that comes with a back boiler has an impressive output of 21kw. It can power a whole house via the central heating system or a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a highly versatile stove that burns all types of wood logs and can also burn anthracite, coal, briquettes, and smokeless fuel. Additionally, it can be used as a stand-alone wood burner, and heated by a thermosyphon system. The CSB works with open and closed system type central heating systems (not compatible with pressurised systems). A CSB is typically supplied with the thermal store made of stainless steel or neutraliser tank.

Fuel type

The distinction between a regular 12kw multi fuel stove fuel stove and a log burner with back boiler is that the latter features a built-in water tank that can heat domestic hot water sources and even radiators within 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 well-known multifuel stoves that have back boilers. They have a water tank that runs along the sides and back of the firebox. This means that the boiler section of the stove effectively fits the firebox, increasing the efficiency of heating and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a range of leading manufacturers including 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 stoves are not able to produce large amounts of hot water because the boiler tank is smaller than the one of the wraparound stove.

There are several ways that you can install multifuel stoves that have back boiler to your system However, the most common is to use it as a radiator inside the vented central heating system. The boiler stove can then be utilized as an additional heating source by turning it on when the gas central heating is on.

Installing a wood-burning fireplace with an boiler back is possible by connecting it to either a multi coil hot water tank or heat accumulator. In this case the stove will heat the hot water tank, and then deliver it to your radiators through a thermostatic control valve. This setup is more complicated and should only by done by a certified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove with back burners is installed improperly, it could be dangerous. This is because when the stove is used and the water inside the boiler turns into steam, which can cause the system to explode if it's not correctly vented.

Fuel supply

The heat produced by the stove's burning can be transferred to a water tank via a boiler unit integrated into the back. This allows you to harness the heat and then use it to heat your home, reducing energy costs and carbon footprints. This makes the stove more energy efficient as heat is not lost to the chimney. This is also referred to as a back boiler or wetback stove.

Modern multifuel stoves that look pleasing and have back boilers that include a hot water cylinder that is pre-installed. This lets you connect the stove to your hot water system and make use of it to heat your taps and radiators throughout the home. Some older models of boiler stoves have an additional hot-water cylinder or the boiler may be placed in a movable box that can be positioned on top of the fire chamber.

This model has a huge firebox with a huge glass window made of ceramic. It is complemented by an " advanced air wash system" to keep a clear view of the flames. This large stove has both top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to provide simple, but efficient control of the burn rate and output. The chrome door handle as well as air controls provide a fashionable appearance to the stove.

A thermostatic probe that is connected to the stove's thermostat opens and closes an additonal vent on the rear of the stove when it requires more air. This boosts the flow of air through the heat exchanger, which boosts the output of room temperature.

The 'Elegance B' models have 4 water ports (2 x flow and 2 x return) on the rear of the stove. These can be closed off when only one water heating circuit is required. These stoves will heat up to 10 average-sized radiators and the domestic hot water system if installed correctly.

We offer a wide range of wood-burning stoves that come with back boilers from the UK's top manufacturers. We also have a huge variety of parts for boiler stoves such as pumps, thermal stores, and spares for these models which means we can assist you with all of your enquiries.

Installation

There are many options on how a boiler stove can be connected to your central heating system. It can be connected to a combi boiler by using a special adaptor, or you can also add a thermal storage 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 give preference to hot water by connecting loops for radiators and heat loss radiators via injector tees that connect to the stove and feeding the system from there. A thermopile thermostat could be used to regulate the pump inside the loop for the radiator. This will ensure that the system operates only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.

It is possible to connect a wood stove that has back boiler to an existing heating system. It's dependent on your system and plumbing layout however, you can connect the boiler stove to many modern open vented systems with little disruption or cost. Before installing a multifuel back boiler it is recommended to speak with an HETAS-certified professional or plumber familiar with wet systems.

A typical system will include a thermal store, an accumulator tank for hot water, and woodburners with a back boiler in the firebox. The back boiler water ports are used to connect the stove to the system. These ports are 1 inch BSP and can easily be adapted to 22mm or 28mm pipes by using compression fittings.

The thermal store is an enormous tank that can store a lot of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators by pipes and tees. The radiator loop is controlled by a thermostatic switch that only allows the heating to start once the temperature of the hot water in the system has reached 55 deg C.

A very popular option is the CSB multi fuel wood burner with back boiler. This is a very robust stove that can power about 10 radiators throughout your house. It is able to burn logs, peat, coal and smokeless fuel. The CSB is also compatible with a supplementary heating source, such as a biomass pellet boiler or log gasifier.
