New gas boiler in greenhouse

[chrisey]

NOT an ideal place to site a boiler in a greenhouse because the temperatures could be in excess of 100deg. The boiler needs a good circulation of air. There must be plenty of other places in the property a lot more suitable. Regards chrisey

Good place for an air heat pump though...

YES Dan lol chrisey

as its an old greenhouse and the space isnt used effectively I take part of it down and replace by a boiler room anyway.A bit more work but might give me a boot/drying room in the process.

I dont think plants would do very well at 100 C Dan.

If the greenhouse was fitted with permanent ventilation to stop it getting too hot then I dont think that would be much of a problem.

A good glazier can cut a circular hole to close fit the flue outside and the remaining gap could be sealed with high temp silicone.

I said nothing!?

And I think he meant degrees F.

Dont all boiler engineers only talk about degrees C ???

Since solar panels stagnate at 150 C to 250 C then its very likely a greenhouse could get to well over 100 C

Er no. The heat pump outdoor unit would chill the greenhouse and leave it running inefficiently. Assuming of course the unit is in in heating mode and your talking about a small domestic sized greenhouse.

Lets agree to disagree then 'cos I am getting phecked off with people being argumentative for the sake of it - this forum is here to help non professionals.

I'm quite happy to discuss it in a dedicated thread though....

Not being argumentative. Just stating facts thats all.
If you have reason to believe the unit will operate satisfactorily in a greenhouse then kindly state why.
