Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove can heat radiators as well as provide hot water to the home. This can reduce heating costs.

The addition of a wood-burning stove with a built in back boiler to an existing central heating system is straightforward and can be done by a qualified plumbing engineer. This article explains how.

Features

If a stove is equipped with an engine, the heat generated from burning wood or other fuel is used to heat hot water in a cylinder and to heat the space. A boiler stove can also heat radiators in the home. If you are searching for a multifuel stove that has back boiler, we have a variety to choose from, and all of them are covered by a full manufacturer's warranty.

A typical wood stove releases heat in one direction, Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler as it passes through the flue outlet from the firebox. A multifuel stove that has back boilers will produce more energy since the heat is distributed in multiple directions in a more efficient manner. This means that more heat is directed to the room, and less heat is lost through a flue outlet.

When the heat generated by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with a back boiler is used to warm a room it is then possible for this heat to be transferred elsewhere in the property through the pipe loop. This could be used to heat a hot-water cylinder, radiators or even a nonpressurised shower. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature of the hot water tank. The pump for the radiators will be activated when the level is attained. This will stop the hot water cylinder from running out and ensure that there is an ongoing supply of hot water for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel stove that has 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 system or even a household water cylinder. The CSB is a highly versatile stove and will burn most types of wood logs as well as coal, anthracite brquettes, briquettes and smokeless fuel. Alternatively it can be run as a standalone wood burner and heated using a thermosyphon system. The CSB is compatible with both open and multifuel stove with back boiler closed systems of central heating (not compatible with pressured systems). A CSB is usually supplied with a stainless steel thermal store or neutraliser tank.

Fuel type

The main difference between a standard multi fuel stove defra approved fuel stove and a log burner with back boiler is that the latter has a built-in water tank that is able 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 popular kind of multifuel stoves that come with back boilers. They have an water tank that runs along the sides and the back of the firebox. The boiler part of the stove is set in a way that it fits the firebox. This increases the efficiency of heating and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves are available from a variety of top manufacturers, including Stratford and Hunter Stoves.

The clip-in boiler stove is an alternative option. It comes with a water tank that replaces the firebricks that are located in the rear of the firebox. These stoves are not able to produce large amounts of hot water because the boiler tank is smaller than a wraparound stove.

You can install a multifuel stove that has a back boiler in your system in several ways but the most common way is to pipe it as an air-tight radiator into an air-ventilated heating system. The boiler stove could be utilized as an additional heating source by turning on when the gas central heating is turned on.

Installing a wood-burning stove with 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 heat up your hot water tank and then transfer it to your radiators using the thermostatic control valve. This is a more complicated installation and should be carried out by a qualified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove with a back burner is fitted improperly, it could be dangerous. When the stove is used, the water in the boiler can transform into steam. This could cause damage to the system to explode if not properly vented to explode.

Fuel supply

The heat produced by the stove's combustion is transferred to a water tank through a boiler unit that is located in the back of the stove. It is possible to use the heat from your home to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. This makes the stove more energy efficient because heat isn't lost to the chimney. This system is usually called a wetback wood-burning stove or a back boiler stove.

Most modern aesthetically designed multifuel stoves with a back boiler include hot water cylinders that have the heating unit already built into the body of the appliance. The stove can be connected to the hot water system in your home to heat your taps and radiators. Certain older models of boiler stoves come with a separate hot-water cylinder, or the boiler might be installed in a removable box that can be positioned on top the fire chamber.

This model has a massive firebox, which has a large ceramic window and an "advanced air wash system" to ensure the view. This big stove comes with top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to permit simple but effective control of the burn rate and output. Its chrome door handle and air controls add a chic appearance to the stove.

If 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 air flow through the heat exchanger which boosts the output of room temperature.

The 'Elegance B' models come with 4 water ports (2 x flow and 2 return) on the rear of the stove, these can be capped off when only one water heating circuit is required. These stoves will heat up to 10 average sized radiators as well as the domestic hot water system is plumbed in correctly.

We have a variety of wood burning stoves, including back boilers from the UK's top manufacturers. We also have a wide selection of parts for boiler stoves including pumps, thermal stores, and spare parts for these models, so we can help you with all of your enquiries.

Installation

There are a variety of options for how a boiler stove can be connected to your central heating system. You can connect it to a combi boiler by using a specific adaptor or add a thermal store that will allow the wood burning stove to feed your hot water system on its own (this requires a separate cylinder inside the loft to serve as 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 stove using injector tees, and feeding the hot water system from this. Another alternative is to utilize a thermopile thermostat to regulate the pump in the radiator loop to ensure that the system is only running after the stove has heated the hot water tank and the heater is turned off.

It is possible to connect an existing wood stove with a back boiler to an existing heating system. It is dependent on the plumbing and system layout but most modern open vented systems are capable of linking a boiler stove with little effort or cost. Before installing a multifuel back boiler, it is advisable to consult an HETAS-certified professional, a plumber or installer familiar with wet systems.

A typical system would comprise a thermal store and hot water accumulator tank and a wood burner with back boiler fitted inside the firebox. The stove is connected to the system by way of the back boiler water ports which are designed to be 1 inch in size BSP (British Standard Pipe) and can be easily modified to fit tubes of 22mm and 28mm with compression fittings that are available from most reputable plumbing merchants.

The thermal store is an enormous tank that can store plenty of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators through a system of pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch regulates the radiator loop, which only turns on the heating once the temperature of the water in the system reaches 55 degrees C.

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