Further to the separate thread on this topic:
The layout proposed by the thermal store manufacturer gives only very approximate control, and will not keep the boiler fully condensing whilst serving the central heating. It is much better to supply ufh direct from the boiler with variable flow temperature by direct burner control from weather compensation. The boiler will always be fully condensing when supplying the underfloor heating, modulating the gas rate to suit the current output. You do not then need a blending valve or second pump. The best boilers also have anti-short cycling control.
