Hi all,
I need help with installing a solid fuel rayburn. 16,000 BTU back boiler.
I am fitting it to a house in France, Hot water is already supplied via a mains pressured sealed hot water tank which i am happy with and would like to keep that.
My question is, how is it possible for me to install the rayburn without DHW and just run CH Radiators?
I understand that it is an uncontrollable heat source and thus needs to be able expel excess heat so can I install as follows.
Rayburn fitted on ground floor with 22 or 28mm flow and return to the 2nd or 3rd floor? going to the F & E tank (stainless steel) t off from these to a large radiator on the 2nd floor to dump heat ( gravity? )
(must the F&E tank be higher than any radiator?)
also tee from the flow and return going into a pump which would then go off to an additional 3/4 radiators atleast 1 of which being on the same floor as the rayburn.
If anyone could shed any light on my plan it will be very much appreciated, also if someone would take the time to post up a possible diagram layout of the install in which I am proposing please.
New to this but not so much to plumbing, have installed solid fuel appliance before but never with a back boiler.
Many thanks for any help.
