The prv for the wood burner keeps releasing. Think it’s because the buffer tank can’t lose the heat quick enough even with the CH & DHW on. I don’t want the gas boiler to heat the buffer, I was hoping the heated water within the buffer (from wood burner) would be transferred to the returning...

Yes we think it’s an odd setup too, even though the installers assured it was correct. Subsequently they have gone out of business so cannot get them back to fix. The bypass pressure valve constantly releases causing very loud bangs. Our CH is a pressurised system therefore cannot feed the...

The stove is multi fuel and the back boiler of the stove heats water in a buffer tank. Our gas boiler outlet pipework goes through the buffer tank (coil within the buffer tank) therefore our CH & DHW does not directly draw the heated water from the buffer tank.

I have a Yeoman boiler stove connected to a buffer tank in a closed circuit. The stove only heats the water in the buffer tank. My boiler outlet passes through a coil within the buffer tank. I was wondering if this is correctly set up? Or should the return to my boiler pass through the...
