Fitting back boiler stove to conventional / regular heating system.🔥

[Craig.]

Easily done, we had this installed in the old house.

 

What you need is a dunsley neutraliser.

 

We then connected the gas boiler and the log burner back boiler.

 

We have the same as this, a dunsley neutraliser, they come in different shapes to suit where you want to fit them, and allow a few different heat sources to be used without back feeding into each other, they (the heat sources) can be used separately or together.

Thanks for the info on the Dunsley Baker Neutraliser - looks to be exactly what I have been looking for.

we have gone the accumulator route - gives flexibility with combining different heat sources.

have been running on wood burner for hot water and heating in the winter and solar does the hot water mid March to mid October. We do have mains gas, but have not bothered with a gas boiler, partly due to the cost and reliance on gas companies, but also due to the fact that gas supplies will not be around for that much longer plus we have our own wood supply.

If you look at the neutraliser you will see it is really a small accumulator so if you have a non scheculable i put like solar or wind or a peaky input like a batch fed boiler you may as well go for the extra capacity of a heat store. If you have space.

Agreed - should have said heat store. I have an 800 ltr heat store to allow for a good efficient burn in the stove.

Thermal Store v Neutralizer

 

We fitted a Dunsley some years ago which works in harmony with a gas boiler and an Aarrow Stratford boiler stove. Simple open vented system with few valves which has been trouble free.

 

The only slight hitch was when we replaced the gas boiler and the plumber initially refused to fit the new boiler because he claimed that Dunsleys were deemed to be too inefficient under some European ruling.

 

I never checked on this, perhaps it was more to do with the open vent part but he relented and fitted the new boiler in the end.

Hi,

 

We have a Rayburn connected to a Newark thermal store which has one coil for hot water & an additional coil at the bottom for a thermo tube circuit. It also has a small header tank for volumetric changes.

 

The heat from the Rayburn heats the store & radiators by convection so no electrics required.

 

The thermo tubes run when ever the sun comes out, heating the thermal store & thus hot water in summer. We have to be a bit careful on clear autumn days when Rayburn runs as well as tubes as temps can get rather hot but there is a mixing valve on hot water supply that ensures correctly regulated supply of hot water.

 

It is very good providing; heating, hot water, cooking along with clothes drying when its wet & suits us extremely well.

 

if you need more detail, PM me.

We are installing a boiler burner soon and will be connected up to the existing system.

How heavy is an 800ltr accumulator, as it will be sited in the roof?

800kg of water plus tank at 200kg roughly....a tonne!

 

Quite a weight for a loft.
