Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove that has a back boiler can heat radiators and also supplying hot water to the home. This can reduce heating costs.

Adding a wood burning stove with a built-in back boiler to an existing central heating system is relatively straightforward and can be done by a competent plumbing engineer. This article will explain the procedure.

Features

When a stove has a boiler, heat generated from burning wood or other fuel is used to heat water in a hot-water cylindrical device and to warm the space. A boiler stove can warm radiators in your home. If you are looking for a multifuel stove that has back boiler, there are a lot of options to choose from. All of which come with a complete manufacturer's warranty.

A typical wood burner puts heat in a single direction as it passes from the firebox to the outlet of a flue. A multifuel stove with back boilers will produce more energy as the heat is distributed across different directions in a more efficient manner. This means that more heat is directed towards the room, and less heat is wasted through the outlet of a flue.

By running a pipe, you can transfer the heat created by a multifuel woodburning fire place 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 once the desired temperature is reached. This will stop the hot-water cylinder from running out and ensure a constant supply of hot water for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel stove with a back-boiler has a powerful output of 21, 000 watts and can be used for the entire home with the help of central heating or multifuel stove even a domestic water cylinder. The CSB is a double sided multi fuel stove-purpose stove that can burn wood logs, anthracite coal, Briquettes, as well as smokeless fuel. It can be used as a stand-alone wood burner heated by thermosyphon. The CSB can be used with open and closed system type central heating systems (not compatible with pressurised systems). A CSB comes with a stainless-steel neutraliser or thermal store.

Fuel type

The distinction between a regular small multi fuel stoves for sale fuel stove and a log burner that has a back boiler is that the latter features an inbuilt water tank that can be used to heat domestic hot water supplies 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.

The most common kind of multifuel stove with back boiler is the wraparound boiler stove, which features a water tank that runs through the sides and the back of the firebox. The boiler part of the stove is positioned in a way that it fits the firebox. This maximizes heating efficiency and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves can be found from a number of leading manufacturers that include Stratford Stoves and Hunter Stoves.

Another option is the clip-in boiler stove, which comes with a water tank which replaces the firebricks that are located at the rear of the stove's firebox. These types of stoves are not capable of producing large volumes of hot water, since the boiler tank has a smaller area than a wraparound boiler stove.

You can put in a multifuel stove which has back boilers in your system in a variety of ways but the most common way is to pipe it as an air-tight radiator into the vented heating system. The boiler stove can then be used as an additional source of heating by turning it on when the gas central heating is switched on.

Installing a wood-burning stove that has a boiler back is also possible by connecting it to a multi coil hot water tank or heat accumulator. In this scenario, the stove will warm your hot water tank and then deliver it to your radiators using an electronic thermostat control valve. This installation is more complex and should be carried out by a qualified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove fitted with a back burner is fitted incorrectly, multifuel stove it can be dangerous. When the stove is in use with water, the boiler can transform into steam. This can cause damage to the system if it's not correctly vented to explode.

Fuel supply

The heat generated by the stove's combustion could be transferred to a water tank via a boiler unit built into the back. It is possible to use the heat inside your home to lower energy costs and carbon emissions. It also makes the stove more efficient because it prevents heat escaping up the chimney. This system is also known as a back boiler or wetback stove.

Modern multifuel stoves that are visually pleasing and have a back boiler are equipped with an already installed hot water cylinder. You can connect the stove to the domestic hot water system to heat your taps as well as radiators. Certain older models of boiler stoves include separate hot-water cylinders, or the boiler could be installed in a removable box which can be placed on top the fire chamber.

This model has a massive firebox, which has a large ceramic window and an "advanced air wash system" to maintain a clear view. This large stove has both the top and bottom air vents (Primary and Secondary) to allow for simple but effective control of the burning rate and output. The chrome door handle and air control give the stove fashionable appearance.

When the stove requires more air the thermostatic probe that is attached to the stove will open and close a second vent at the rear. This increases the flow of air through the heat exchanger and increases the temperature of the room which helps the stove attain its maximum efficiency.

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

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

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 add a thermal store that allows the wood-burning stove to supply your hot water system directly (this requires an additional cylinder in the loft to house the header tank). It is also possible to prioritize the hot water by connecting the radiator loop and heat loss radiators to the boiler stove via injector tees and feeding the hot water system from this. A thermopile thermostat could be used to regulate the pump within the radiator loop. This will ensure that the system is running only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.

Incorporating a wood burner that has a back boiler to an existing system could be fairly easy. It is dependent on the plumbing and system layout, but the majority of modern open vented systems are capable of connecting to a boiler stove minimal disruption or expense. It is a good idea to seek the advice of a HETAS certified person or a local plumber installer who is knowledgeable about wet systems prior to installing a multifuel stove with back boiler.

A typical system will include a thermal store, an accumulator tank for hot water and an electric woodburner with a back boiler in the firebox. The stove is connected to the system via one of back boiler water ports that are sized at 1 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) and are easily modified to fit tubes of 22mm and 28mm using compression fittings available from the majority of reputable plumbing retailers.

The thermal store is a massive tank, it can hold an enormous amount of heat. It is also connected to the radiators as well as the stove by a network of pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch controls the loop of radiators which is only turned on the heating when the water temperature in the system has reached 55 degrees C.

A popular option is the CSB multi fuel wood burner with back boiler, this is a robust stove that can power about 10 radiators throughout your house. It can burn logs as well as peat, coal, and smokeless fuel. The CSB can also be used with an additional source of heat such as a log gasifier or biomass pellet boiler.
