one for the plumbers?
Heading into the home heating season, I am giving consideration to
installing a log burner. The existing fire opening and flue are adequately sized for something up to 12kW and I think a flexible liner should be easy to install. There is enough dead standing timber on the farm to see me out, so security of supply is not a major issue. However, although this is an open plan house including open stair well, the most convenient location is in a room only 14' x 14'. I guess anything over 6kW in such a small space will seriously overcook us. Conversely, the ability to draw off useful hot water seems limited to 1 or 2 kW at most. At the risk of awakening Drivel, how would one incorporate such an intermittent source of heat into a gas fired fully pumped system? The existing hot water cylinder, pump and controls are conveniently directly above the preferred location: assuming the joists are adequate! regards -- Tim Lamb |
