hi
i am planning on hooking my wood burning stove to my existing oil system.
my plan is to hook up the flow and return which goes out into my garage into a large rad. this will be only 12 inches from the boiler (so heat will travel fast without pump if needed)
then i will find out a way to send the extra heated water from the rad, through the heating system in my home.
this way the big rad in the garage will act as a heat sink if the extra pump broke down while i was using the fire and the heat would safely dissapear. and if i wanted to sent it around the house i can do that with (possibly) some kind of one way valve. then my oil boiler wont wastefully pump water round the new rad or my new boiler.
i understand ill have to hook up the boiler to the overflow in the loft and find a way to add new water to the new rad as required.
if anyone can tell me if the idea is going in the right direction. please let me know. allso any thoughts on a simple system or give the link to a decent design i will be really gratefull.
im sure my idea is very rough, but i am blessed with lots of space to do this and so hope to avoid the pricey "dunsley heat" solutions.
thank you for reading my ramblings
