existing heating is a firebird heat pack.primaries then come through the wall directly into cylinder ..[it s t'd off to the heating zone before the coil..]
there is a 6 m head pump at bolier which is doing the house perfect.the heating loop goes up to the attick of this bungalow and down to the individual rads in turn ..all works grand [pressurised/sealed system]
now,there is a new 14kw solid fuel stove in place around 7 meter away from hot press..i will have to go up with both pipes in 1 inch copper..my plan is to then vent the flow from the boiler to my new f and e tank[doing away with auto fill.new system will be open vented obviously] after this i am dropping down to my dual cylinder and t- ing into heating zone ...i will put non returns on both boiler returns to prevent them heating when the other is on. .. now my two questions are 1.will there be a serious issie with air locks [can i place the f and e as high as i can and will use air vents in attick to purge the system ] 2 .will there be an issue with the pumps ...one on flow of bolier and other on flow from solid fuel stove .. any idea s on better pump locations ..the oil boiler one will have to stay on flow .. cheers buf.
come on boys..where are all the clever boys gone on me!!! help ..help
