Hi there, I'm hoping someone can give me advice on the following. I'm an experienced diy'er but please excuse my ignorance of the correct terminology.
I have a multi-fuel stove with a boiler in it heating my hot water. There's a hot water cylinder and a large cold water tank in the loft. My problem is that it produces so much boiling water that it vents out the cylinder into the cold water tank and I end up with very hot water coming through the cold taps and scalding hot water from the hot taps. Would installing a radiator help cool the water? If so can I just connect one to the hot pipe before it enters the cylinder? I'm in the middle of converting part of the loft so the radiator would be nearby.
Any advice much appreciated.
