Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler

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

Adding a wood burning stove with a built in back boiler to an existing central heating system is straightforward and can be done by a competent plumbing engineer. This article will show you how.

Here are some examples of

If a stove is equipped with a boiler, the heat produced by burning wood or another fuel is used to heat water in a hot-water cylindrical device and to warm the space. A boiler stove is able to heat radiators throughout the house. We offer a wide selection of multifuel stoves with back boilers. All come with a full manufacturer warranty.

A typical wood stove releases heat in one direction as it travels through the flue outlet from 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 to the room, and less heat is lost through a flue outlet.

By running a pipe, you can transfer the heat produced by a multifuel woodburning fireplace with an electric boiler to a different room. This can result in the heating of hot water cylinders or radiators, or even a non-pressurised shower. In most cases, a thermostat is installed to monitor the temperature of the hot water tank and switch on the radiators' pumps when the temperature reaches. This will prevent the hot-water tank from running out and ensure an unending supply of hot water for domestic use.

The CSB multifuel stove with back boiler boasts an impressive output of 21kw. It can power a whole home via the central heating system or even a domestic hot water cylinder. The CSB is a multi-purpose stove that can burn wood logs, anthracite coal brquettes, and smokeless fuel. It can also be operated as a standalone wood burner, and heated by a thermosyphon system. The CSB works with 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 difference between a normal multi fuel stove and a log burner with back boiler is that the latter comes with an integrated water tank that can heat domestic hot water supplies 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 multifuel stoves that have back boilers. They feature a water tank running across the sides and back of the firebox. This means that the boiler part of the stove effectively hugs the firebox, which increases the efficiency of heating and power output. Wraparound boiler stoves can be found from a number of leading manufacturers, including Stratford Stoves and Hunter Stoves.

Another option is the clip-in stove, which features the water tank, which replaces the firebricks located at the rear of the stove's firebox. These stoves cannot produce large quantities of hot water since the boiler tank is smaller than the one of an open-air stove.

There are many ways you can connect a multifuel stove with a back boiler to your system The most popular is by plumbing it as a radiator within a vented central heating system. This allows the boiler stove to be a second source of heat by turning on when the gas central heating turns on and boosting the temperature.

You can also put in an electric wood stove with a back boiler by connecting it to a contemporary multi fuel stoves-coil hot water tank or an accumulator of heat. In this case the stove will warm your hot water tank and then transfer it to your radiators via the thermostatic control valve. This is a more complex installation procedure and should only be done by a trained heating engineer.

When a multifuel stove fitted with back burners is installed improperly, it could be dangerous. This is because, when the stove is being used and the water inside the boiler is converted into steam, which could cause the system to explode if not correctly vented.

Fuel supply

The heat produced by the stove's combustion is transferred to a tank of water via a boiler that is built into the back of the stove. It is possible to use the heat in your home to cut down on energy costs and carbon emissions. This makes the stove more energy efficient, as heat is not lost through the chimney. This system is usually known as a wetback wood burning stove or a back boiler stove.

Most modern aesthetically designed multifuel stoves that have a back boiler include hot water cylinders that have the heating unit built into the body of the appliance. This allows you to connect the stove to your hot water system and use it to heat both your taps and radiators throughout the house. Some older boiler stoves might have a separate hot water cylinder or the boiler installed in an adjustable box that could be positioned on top of the fire chamber.

This model has a large firebox, with a large glass window and an "advanced air wash system" to ensure the view. This large stove has both the 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 control give the stove a fashionable appearance.

When the stove needs more air the thermostatic probe that is attached to the stove will open and Multifuel Stove With Back Boiler close an additional vent located at the rear. This boosts the flow of air through the heat exchanger, which boosts the output of room temperature.

The models of the 'Elegance B' have four water ports (2 x flow and 2 return) on 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 10 radiators of average size, as well as the domestic hot-water system.

We have a huge range of wood burners that come with back boilers available from the UK's leading manufacturers. We also stock a large selection of boiler stove parts, pumps, thermal stores and spares for these models so we can help you with any inquiries.

Installation

There are several ways to connect a stove boiler to your central heating system. You can connect it to a combi boiler using a special adaptor or include a thermal store that allows the wood burning stove to supply your hot water system on its own (this requires an additional cylinder in the loft for the header tank). It is also possible to prioritize the hot water by connecting the radiator loop and heat loss radiators to the boiler stove via injector tees and feeding the hot water system via this. A thermopile thermostat could be used to regulate the pump in the loop of radiators. This will ensure that the system runs only after the stove has heated the hot water tank.

It is possible to add an existing wood stove with a back boiler to an existing heating system. It depends on your plumbing layout and system However, you can connect an electric boiler to modern open-ventilated systems with minimal disruption or cost. It is recommended to consult a HETAS qualified person, a local plumber or installer who is knowledgeable about wet systems prior to putting in multifuel stoves with back boiler.

A typical system would comprise a thermal store and an accumulator tank to store hot water, and an electric woodburner with a back boiler in the firebox. The back boiler water ports are used to connect the stove to the system. These ports are 1 inch BSP and can easily be adapted to 22mm or 28mm pipes by using compression fittings.

The thermal store is a huge tank that can store a lot of heat. It is connected to the stove and radiators by pipes and tees. The thermostatic switch regulates the radiator loop that only activates the heating once the water temperature in the system reaches 55 degrees C.

A popular option is the CSB multi fuel wood stove fuel wood burner with back boiler. This is an extremely powerful stove which can power around 10 radiators throughout your home. It can burn wood coal, peat, coal, and smokeless fuel. The CSB is also compatible with additional heating sources, such as a biomass pellet boiler or log gasifier.
