Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove with a back boilers can heat radiators as well as providing hot water to the property. This could 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 qualified plumbing engineer. This article will show you how.

Features

When a stove has a boiler, heat generated by burning wood or another fuel is used to heat hot water in a cylindrical device and to warm a space. A boiler stove is also able to provide heat to radiators in the home. If you are looking for a multifuel stove that has back boiler, we have a variety to pick from. All of which come with full manufacturers warranties.

A standard wood stove produces heat in one direction, as it passes through the flue outlet of the firebox. Multifuel stoves with a back boiler produce more energy because the heat is distributed across multiple directions more efficiently. This means that more heat is directed into the room, and less heat is wasted through an outlet for the flue.

Through the use of a pipe you can transfer the heat generated by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with a boiler to another room. This can be used to heat a hot water radiator, cylinder or even a nonpressurised shower. A thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature in the hot water tank. The radiators' pumps will be activated when the temperature is reached. This prevents the hot water from running out and ensures the hot water cylinder has 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 21kw and can be used to power a whole home via the central heating system, or a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a versatile stove that can burn wood logs, anthracite coal briquettes, and smokeless fuel. It can also be operated as a separate wood burner and heated using a thermosyphon system. The CSB can be used with closed and open system central heating installations (not compatible with pressurised systems). The CSB includes a stainless steel neutraliser or thermal store.

Fuel type

The difference between a multifuel stove and a boiler stove is that the latter comes with an integrated water tank that can be used to heat the hot water in your home 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 main type of multifuel stove with back boiler is the wraparound stove, which is equipped with a water tank which runs across the sides and back of the firebox. This means that the boiler section of the stove effectively fits the firebox, increasing heating efficiency and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves can be purchased from a number of leading manufacturers, including Stratford Stoves and Multifuel stove with back boiler Hunter Stoves.

The clip-in boiler stove is a different option. It features a water tank that replaces the firebricks that are located in the rear of the firebox. These types of stoves aren't capable of producing large quantities of hot water because the boiler tank is much smaller surface area than an all-round boiler stove.

There are a variety of ways you can fit multifuel stoves with back boiler to your system However, the most common is by plumbing it as a radiator within the vented central heating system. This lets the boiler stove act as an additional source of heat by turning on when your gas central heating comes on and boosting the temperature.

You can also set up an electric wood stove with a back boiler by connecting it to a small multi fuel stoves for sale-coil hot water tank or an accumulator of heat. In this case, the stove will heat the hot water tank before transferring it to your radiators through a thermostatic valve. This is a more complicated installation procedure that must be performed by a trained heating engineer.

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

Fuel supply

The heat generated by the stove's combustion is transferred to a tank of water through a boiler unit that is that is built into the back of the stove. You can use the heat in your home to lower carbon emissions and energy bills. It also makes the stove more efficient as it stops heat from escaping down the chimney. This system is usually referred to as a wetback wood burning stove or a back boiler stove.

Modern, attractive multifuel stoves that have a back boiler have hot water cylinders that have 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 boiler stoves come with a separate hot-water cylinder, or the boiler could be installed in a removable box which can be placed on top of the fire chamber.

This model comes with a massive firebox with a huge ceramic glass window that is complimented by an " advanced air wash system' to maintain a clear view of the flames. This large stove also incorporates both bottom and top (Primary and Secondary) air vents to enable easy and effective control of the rate of burning and heat output. The chrome door handle and air control give the stove an elegant appearance.

A thermostatic probe linked to the stove's control panel opens and closes an additonal vent at the back of the stove when it needs additional air. This increases air flow through the heat exchanger which boosts the output of a room temperature.

The 'Elegance B' models have four water ports (2 x flow and 2 return) at the rear of the stove, these can be shut off if only one water heating circuit is needed. If properly plumbed these stoves are able to heat up to ten radiators of average size as well as the hot-water system for domestic use.

We offer a vast selection of wood burners that come with back boilers that are available from the UK's leading manufacturers. We also carry a large range of boiler stoves, thermal stores and pumps for these models.

Installation

There are a variety of options for how a stove for a boiler can be connected to your central heating system. It can be connected to a combi boiler by using a special adaptor or install a thermal store which allows the wood burning stove to feed your hot water system by itself (this requires an additional cylinder in the loft to serve as the header tank). You can also give priority to hot water by connecting radiator loops and heat loss radiators via injector tees to the boiler stove and feeding the system from there. A thermopile thermostat can 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 quite easy. It is dependent on the system and plumbing layout, but modern open vented systems can be linking a boiler stove with very little upheaval or expense. It is recommended to seek the advice of a HETAS certified person or a local plumber installer who is knowledgeable about wet systems prior to putting in a multifuel stove with back boiler.

A typical system will involve the thermal store with hot water storage tank and a wood burner with a back boiler installed in the firebox. The back boiler water ports are used to connect the stove to the system. These ports are 1 inch BSP and are easily adaptable to 22mm or 28mm pipes by using compression fittings.

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

The CSB multi-fuel wood burner, which comes with back boiler is a very popular choice. It is a powerful stove that can run up to 10 radiators within your home. It can burn a diverse variety of fuels, including coal, wood peat, smokeless fuel and peat. The CSB can also be used with an additional source of heat, like biomass or a log gasifier pellet boiler.
