Hello all! I’m hoping someone can answer a question about our heating system. We are currently renovating a large Victorian property. The heating system is biomass (wood pellets) and costing us a fortune! We were planning on installing a multi fuel burner anyways so I’m thinking I may as well get one with a back boiler and plumb that into the HWC too ( I purchased a cylinder that allows this so no problem there!) the issue I have is the stove will be on the ground floor and I plan to have the HWC and all other ‘plant’ in the cellar. I’m not so keen on adding pumps to the system as we are in the middle of nowhere and in the winter get power cuts quite regular.
So the question is… if I had the sacrificial radiator on the floor above the stove, say in the bathroom, and a header tank in the loft would I get sufficient circulation through the system baring in mind the pipework would leave the stove and go down into the cellar before heading up to the radiator.
Either way I think of running the pipework it always has to go down through the floor before heading up unfortunately, purely because of where everything is.
Thanks in advance!
