Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove with back boilers can heat radiators as well as providing hot water to the home. This could reduce heating costs.

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

Here are some examples of

When a stove is equipped with an engine, the heat generated from burning wood or other fuel is used to heat hot water in a cylindrical device and to warm the space. A boiler stove is also capable of heating radiators throughout the house. We have a large selection of multifuel stoves with back boilers. All come with a full manufacturer warranty.

A typical wood burner pumps out energy in a single direction as it moves from the firebox to an outlet for the flue. Multifuel stoves with a back boiler produce more energy because the heat is distributed in multiple directions more efficiently. This means that more heat is directed to the room and less is lost through the outlet of a flue.

When the heat generated by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with a back boiler is used to heat a room it is then possible for the heat to be transferred to other areas in the house through a pipe loop. This can be used to heat a hot water radiator, cylinder or even a non-pressurised shower. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature in the hot water tank. The radiators' pump will be activated when the level is reached. 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 with back boiler has an impressive power output of 21kw and can be used to power a complete home using the central heating system, or a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a very adaptable stove that can burn all kinds of wood logs, coal, anthracite, briquettes, and smokeless fuel. Alternatively it can be run as a stand-alone wood burner and heated using a thermosyphon system. The CSB is compatible with both open and closed system type central heating systems (not compatible with pressurised systems). A CSB is typically equipped with an stainless steel thermal store or neutraliser tank.

Fuel type

The main difference between a multi-fuel stove and a boiler stove is that the latter has a built in water tank that can be used to heat your home's hot water and even radiators. 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 has a water tank which runs along the sides and back of the firebox. The boiler part of the stove is placed so that it hugs the firebox. This maximizes heating efficiency and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a range of top manufacturers like Stratford and Hunter Stoves.

Another alternative is the clip-in boiler stove, which has the water tank, which replaces the firebricks at the rear of the stove's firebox. These types of stoves aren't able of producing large amounts of hot water, since the boiler tank has a smaller surface area than the wraparound boiler stove.

There are a variety of ways you can connect multifuel stoves with back boiler to your system The most popular is to use it as a radiator in a central heating system that is vented. This lets the boiler stove serve as an additional source of heat by turning on when the gas central heating is turned on and topping up the temperature.

Installing a wood-burning stove with an boiler back is possible by connecting it to either a multi burner stove coil hot water tank or heat accumulator. In this case the stove will heat the hot water tank, and then transfer it to your radiators via an electronic thermostat control valve. This installation is more complex and should only be carried out by a qualified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove with a back burner is installed improperly, it could be dangerous. This is because when the stove is in use and the water inside the boiler turns into steam, which could cause the system to explode if it isn't correctly vented.

Fuel supply

The heat generated by the stove's combustion is transferred to a water tank via a boiler that is that is built into the back of the stove. This allows you to harness the heat and then use it within your home, reducing energy costs and carbon footprints. It also makes the stove more efficient because it stops heat from escaping down the chimney. This type of stove is often known as a wetback wood-burning stove or a back boiler stove.

Modern, attractive multifuel stoves that have a back boiler feature a hot water cylinder with the heating unit already built into the body of the appliance. The stove can be connected to the domestic hot water system to heat your taps as well as radiators. Some older models of boiler stoves come with separate hot-water cylinders, or the boiler could be placed in a movable box that can be positioned on top the fire chamber.

This model has a massive firebox, which has an enormous ceramic window as well as an "advanced air wash system" to maintain an unobstructed view. This stove is large and has top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to allow for simple, but effective control of the burn rate and output. The chrome door handle and air controls provide a fashionable appearance to the stove.

When the stove needs more air, a thermostatic probe attached to the stove will open and close a second vent in the rear. This increases the flow of air through the heat exchanger and boosts the output of the room temperature, helping the stove to achieve its maximum efficiency.

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

We have a variety of wood burning stoves with back boilers from the UK's top manufacturers. We also carry a large range of boiler stoves, thermal stores and pumps for these models.

Installation

There are a myriad of options for how a stove for a boiler can be connected to your central heating system. You can link it to a combi boiler by using a specific adaptor or Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler add a thermal store that will allow the wood burning stove to supply your hot water system by itself (this requires an additional cylinder in the loft for the header tank). It is also possible to give priority to the hot water by connecting the radiator loop and heat loss radiators to the boiler stove through injector tees and feeding the hot water system via this. A thermopile thermostat could be used to control the pump inside the loop for the radiator. This will ensure that the system is running only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.

It is possible to add a wood stove that has a back boiler to a heating system. It's dependent on the system and plumbing layout but most modern open vented systems can be connecting a boiler stove with minimal disruption or expense. It is recommended to consult a HETAS certified person or a local plumber installer who is experienced with wet systems prior to installing a multifuel stove with back boiler.

A typical system will involve a thermal store and 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 back boiler water ports, which are designed to be 1 inch in size BSP (British Standard Pipe) and can be easily modified to fit the size of 22mm or 28mm pipes by using compression fittings available from the majority of reputable plumbing retailers.

The thermal store is an enormous tank that can hold lots of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators through pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch controls the radiator loop that only activates the heating when the temperature of the water in the system is 55 degrees C.

A popular choice is the CSB 7kw multi fuel stove fuel wood burner with back boiler, this is a powerful stove which can power up to 10 radiators throughout your house. It is able to burn a broad range of fuels including coal, logs peat, smokeless fuel and peat. The CSB can also be used with an additional source of heat, such as biomass or a log gasifier pellet boiler.
