I'll be fitting a woodburner with back boiler v soon and have some ideas for the system I'd like the experts to comment on please. It's a little unconventional but I think it's quite simple and should work.
The house already has a oil fired rayburn which does the CH and HW which will be left as is for simplicity and I will fit another new larger capacity cylinder for the woodburner fed by 28mm pipes gravity/ convection I will then fit a pump and blending valve to feed a largeish UFH zone feeding from the 28's not in series.
The new cylinder will be a normal gravity fed vented sharing it's supply from the existing loft tank and it's water will circulate through the UFH pipes and the wood stove boiler.
The tank will also have a single exchanger coil that can be used either to extract heat into the existing radiators or put heat in from the oil boiler.
Will it work or is it a waste of time and effort ?
