Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

A multifuel stove can heat radiators as well as provide hot water for your home. This will save money on heating bills.

Adding a wood burning stove with a built in back boiler to an existing central heating system is relatively easy and can be completed by a competent plumbing engineer. This article explains the process.

Features

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 cylinder and to heat the space. A boiler stove is able to heat radiators throughout the house. If you're looking for a multifuel stove with a back boiler then there are a lot of options to choose from, all of which come with a complete manufacturer's warranty.

A standard wood stove produces heat in one direction when it is passing through the flue outlet of the firebox. Multifuel stoves with back boiler generate more energy because the heat is distributed in multiple directions more efficiently. This means that more heat is directed towards the room, and less heat is lost through the outlet of the flue.

Once the heat from a multifuel woodburning stove that has a back boiler is used to heat the room, it is possible for the heat to be transferred to other areas within the home by utilizing the pipe loop. This can lead to the heating of the hot water cylinder, radiators or even a shower that isn't pressurised. In most cases, a thermostat is installed to keep track of the temperature of the hot water tank, and switch on the pump for the radiators when the temperature is at a certain point. This will prevent the hot-water tank from running out and will ensure that there is an ongoing supply of hot water for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel with a back-boiler boasts an impressive output of 21, 000 watts and can be used for a entire home with the help of central heating system, or even a domestic water cylinder. The CSB is a very versatile stove that can burn all kinds of wood logs and can also burn anthracite, coal brquettes, briquettes and smokeless fuel. Additionally, it can be used as a standalone wood burner that is heated by a thermosyphon system. The CSB is compatible with both closed and open systems of central heating (not compatible with pressured systems). A CSB is typically supplied with the thermal store made of stainless steel or neutraliser tank.

Fuel type

The difference between a multi fuel stove defra approved-fuel stove and the boiler stove is that the latter comes with an integrated water tank that can 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.

Wraparound boiler stoves are the most well-known type of multifuel stoves with back boilers. They have an water tank that runs along the sides and the back of the firebox. The boiler portion of the stove is placed so that it is positioned to hug 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.

Another alternative is the clip-in boiler stove, which features a water tank which replaces the firebricks located at the rear of the stove's firebox. These stoves cannot produce large amounts of hot water due to the fact that the boiler tank is smaller than that of an open-air stove.

There are a variety of ways you can install multifuel stoves with a back boiler to your system, but the most common is by plumbing it as a radiator in a central heating system that is vented. The boiler stove can be utilized as an additional source of heat by turning it on when gas central heating is on.

Installing a wood-burning stove with the boiler back is possible by connecting it to either a 5kw multi fuel stove coil hot water tank or heat accumulator. In this case, the stove will heat up the hot water tank, and then transfer it to your radiators through a thermostatic control valve. This installation is more complex and should only by done by a certified heating technician.

When a multifuel stove fitted with a back burner is installed incorrectly, it can be dangerous. This is because, when the stove is being used the water in the boiler transforms into steam, which can cause the system to explode if not properly vented.

Fuel supply

The heat produced by the stove's combustion can be transferred to a water tank via a boiler unit that is integrated into the back. You can use the heat from your home to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. It also makes the stove more efficient as 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 multifuel stoves that look pleasing and have a back boiler include a pre-installed hot water cylinder. The stove can be connected to the domestic hot water system to heat your taps as well as radiators. Certain older models of boiler stoves may have a separate hot water cylinder or the boiler installed in a removable box that can be positioned over the fire chamber.

This model features a huge firebox, which has an enormous ceramic window as well as an "advanced air wash system" to ensure a clear view. This stove is large and has the top and bottom air vents (Primary & Secondary) to permit simple but effective control of the burn rate and output. The chrome door handle and air control give the stove an elegant appearance.

When the stove requires more air, a thermostatic probe connected to the stove will open and close an additional vent at the rear. This increases the flow of air through the heat exchanger and increases the output of the room temperature and helps the stove achieve its maximum efficiency.

The models of the 'Elegance B' have 4 water ports (2 flow and 2 return) on the rear of the stove, these can be shut off if only one water heating circuit is needed. The stoves can heat up to 10 average-sized radiators and the domestic hot water system, if plumbed in correctly.

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

Installation

There are a myriad of options for how a boiler stove could be connected to your central heating system. You can link it to a combi boiler using a specific adaptor or include a thermal store that will allow the wood burning stove to supply your hot water system directly (this requires an additional cylinder in 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 via this. Another alternative is to utilize a thermopile thermostat to regulate the pump on the radiator loop, so that the system only runs after the stove has heated up the hot water tank and the heater is shut off.

Adding a wood burner with back boiler to an existing system could be fairly easy. It depends on your system and plumbing layout However, you can connect a boiler stove to most modern open vented systems without much disruption or cost. Before installing a multifuel back boiler, it is recommended to speak with an HETAS-certified person or a plumber experienced with wet systems.

A typical system will include a thermal store and an accumulator tank to store hot water, and woodburners with a back boiler in the firebox. The stove is connected to the system through one of the back boiler water ports that are measured at 1 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) and are easily adapted for the size of 22mm or 28mm pipes by with compression fittings that are available from the majority of reputable plumbing retailers.

The thermal store is a huge tank that can hold a lot of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators by a system of pipes and tees. The loop for the radiator is controlled by a thermostatic switch which only allows heating to come on once the hot water in the system is at 55 degrees C.

The CSB multi-fuel wood burner, which comes with back boiler is a well-loved choice. It's a powerful stove that can provide power to up to 10 radiators in your home. It is able to burn logs as well as peat, coal, and smokeless fuel. The CSB can also be used as an additional source of heat such as a log gasifier or biomass pellet boiler.
