Given I've an old stone house that needs constant heat to drive the moisture out I'm planning on moving my oil burner out of the house to a shed to make room for two accumulator tanks in battery sequence to make up roughly 1000 liter's of hot water for constant trickle heating around the house 24*7 and having the boiler fire up once the heat of the two tanks is exhausted. I don't have the room for both the water storage and the boiler in the built in boiler/utility room. What I'm trying to figure out is how to tap this into the existing system and have it in a building 15 meters away from the dwelling house. Currently this is an open vented system with solar hot water and back boiler to copper cylinder).
Do I A) put the tanks in the boilers current location and have the heating circuit attached to them and the expansion and hot water tank tapped to these and two insulated and buried pipes running across my yard to the boiler or B) do I put the tanks with the boiler across the yard leaving more space in the house and run four pipes across the yard and figure out how to attach them at that side of the yard and then how would the expansion tank like the pipe work going underground before going to the attic? The simplest method I've come up with so far is leave the boiler in place but run two pipes from boiler to outhouse and have the tanks on there own then two pipes from the tanks to the radiator circuit.
Anyone any other ideas, tips or random diagrams that may help me out? The future plan is to replace the oil boiler with a pellet boiler so the ideal solution will have the boiler in the outhouse as pellet boilers are to much of a health risk to have in the dwelling house. By today's standards its probably not advised to have an oil boiler situated here either.
