Hi all,
Quick question.
I have an oil burner, a feed and return radiator system, two motorised isolation valves on the system, one upstairs and one downstairs.
I currently have no thermostats in my house, I mean none. So i switch the heating on, the burner kicks in, the house gets hot. In my current setup, how does my oil burner know how to stop burning? Is it when the water in the return is the same temperature as the feed?
If I were to put thermostats upstairs and downstairs, how would these control the burner. Would they be wired directly to the burner (tell its to switch on and off?), or would they be wired to the motorised isolations valves (controlling the burner by stoping the flow of water)?
Thanks
