Using fire to heat radiators

[urebaz78]

My current set up (images attached). I can heat my hot water tank (oldWood Fire.jpg) using the coal/wood fire , however how would I be able to use the fire to heat my radiators (7). I have recently moved into the house and I just cant see how its done. What would I need to buy to enable this?

Inputs from fire to heat exchange (as I also have an oil boiler) heatingex.jpg
Red pump, pumps the hot water (from the heat exchange) to the radiators

Any help would be fab, thanks

First thing I would do is get an unvented qualified plumber round to check it over. Cylinders can explode quite dramatically if safety device fail.

Doesn't need one its vented.
Needs an experienced plumber who knows what they are doing with solid fuel gravity systems.

Not sure how he finds your man, but if he hasn’t got qualifications it’s a “No” from me!

Might be a no from you but it still doesnt change the fact that whoever looks at it, they dont need an unvented ticket to look at a vented cylinder.

As to how OP “finds your man” - word of mouth is best.
An experienced ‘old boy’ will quite likely not have done G3 qualifications- but I’d rather have him for this job than a certificated inexperienced newbie.
