Default Possible? Aga and radiator..

Hi all,

We have an Aga with back boiler in kitchen which is connected to a direct HW
cylinder on the first floor. It works via thermosyphon and has done for
years.

It is apt to kettling the cylinder at times, usually during the night when
the lids are shut. We always have an excess of very hot water when the aga
is running at cooking temperature.

Adjacent to the kitchen & behind the Aga, we have an un-heated utility. Is
there any way that a small radiator could be plumbed into the thermosyphon
pipes so as to both heat the utility somewhat, and also provide abit of a
heatsink to the aga to prevent it kettling the cylinder???

TIA Tim.
