hi
im new here so first of all hello to every one
im a bit of an avid engineer and decided to make myself a saw dust pyrolising burner
the problem i now have is it works so well i want to plumb it up to my central heating system as a passive heater
the unit i have built uses saw dust as fuel but turns it in to charcoal producing a gas which then burns at the top of the burn chamber (it produces a flame 50mm high and measurung 100mm diameter)it is temprature controlled (fan driven) and switches on and off like any regular gas boiler
i was thinking of using a copper coil 28mm in diameter placed in the body of the heater above the burn chamber (not directly but around the heat soak area ive allowed) and splicing this into the 22mm flow pipe of my gas boiler with an extra circulation pump so that the heat is passed to the radiators before returning to the gas boiler allowing me to keep the gas boiler functional and to use either one or the other or in tandem which is what i really desire
my heating system currently has a gas boiler feeding a hotwater cylinder with triple valve and a hot water tank in the loft
just wondering aside from my lunacy if this will work to heat my house
kind regards
eddie
