Boiler sizing from heatloss calculations
 
Hi,

I've done the heatloss calculations on my house and came out with a
figure of 8.4kW. What factor would I need to multiply this figure
with to get the boiler size? I am assuming that I will need to allow
7kW for the DHW.

Is there any disadvantages in oversizing a modern (modulating)
condensing boiler (ignoring the slight difference in purchase costs).

FYI: I plan to get a heatbank like the McDonald Thermflow.

Cheers, W

Modern condensing boilers are usually sized at 24kW or above, which will be
enough for your needs.

The Ideal Icos HE heating boilers come in 12, 15, 18, and 24kW
versions. This is the boiler recommended to me by a tank
manufacturer. The 24kW version is only about £35 more than the 18kW
one. Is there any reason to go for the 18kW version?

Thanks, W

Wish there where self modulating biolers when I installed my system 25
years ago. I note some boilers have the ability to self modulate via built
in electronics.

No. It is a marketing strategy of theirs. 2 years ago, they only did a 24kW
version (which could be "reprogrammed" to 28kW).

However, the "heating" versions should normally be avoided, although they
have their uses. It is usually best to upgrade to a sealed pressurised
system and use the "system" version, which has the sealed system components
internally (and sometimes a pump).

I'm not familiar with this boiler, but presumably the lower modulation
limit also increases? It's going to end up cycling on and off if you
are routinely needing less heat from it than it's lowest level. (If
it's like the Keston, there's quite a bit of hysteresis before the
boiler will fire up again when this happens.) If you calculated 8.4kW
at -3C outdoors, then most of the time your heating is on, you won't
need anything like that amount of power.

If your existing gas pipe run was marginal on pressure drop, it might
be that you could get away with it on one power rating, but not the
next one up without replacing the gas pipework (maybe only some of it).

Most boilers modulate somewhere around 5kW to around 25kW. Glow worm have a
5 to 18kW and 5 to 28kW system boiler. You may not see much difference in
price.

I assume the integrated one withy the heating circuit taken from the store.
Make sure the thermal store has two stats to prevent boiler cycling. The
bigger the boiler the better with a thermal store

http://www.uselessenergy.org.uk/boil...s.asp#wallhung

Glow worm 30HXi "heating" boiler for £438.50 + VAT.

This is a basic. modulating heating boiler and you, or the thermal store
maker, supplies the pump. It will re-heat the store pronto. The biz.

The Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28HE is a similar boiler.

The modulation when using a thermal store doesn't matter that much as the
store controls the boiler. Set the store to 75C.

Try the Range, which is a heat bank with a plate heat exchanger. Better.
http://rangecylinders.co.uk/products/flowmax/index.html

Look at the picture of the Range. They will provide all the pumps, and a
second anti-cycle stat. All you do is connect up the boiler with two pipes
and a gas supply. Have a simple single channel time clock for the DHW, and
Honeywell CM67 to control and turn on the heating side.

Sorted.

He is going thermal store so the lower level of modulation is not an issue
at all.

This is all irrelevant as you are going thermal store . Get the biggest
boiler to your budget as you can. Then a super fast re-heat.

According to the specs I have the lower modulation limit is the same
for all these boilers.

BTW: I did my calculations at -1C outdoors.

If your existing gas pipe run was marginal on pressure drop, it might
be that you could get away with it on one power rating, but not the
next one up without replacing the gas pipework (maybe only some of it).


An 18kW boiler would be about the same power as the one I have now so
I don't think they'll be a problem with the supply.

I've considered a heat bank but I'm not (yet) convinced that they are
worth the extra money. Considering that they are about double the
price (AFAIK) of a thermal store then they would have to be a _lot_
better to convince me (unless you know different).

What prices have you been quoted?

In your case the basic heating boiler heating they store directly is the
one. The system boiler is fine if you want a sealed system as all is inside
the case.

Don't forget to put enough inhibitor in the thermals store.

What prices have you been quoted?


I've been quoted about £700 for a large 250L thermal store. I haven't
had a quote for a heat bank but I thought they were around the £1400
mark for a similar size. Maybe I'm wrong though :-)

I Installed one of these to an existing open vented system. The reason was
to keep the old cast iron boiler in the garage as a back up. Throw a switch
and the old boiler comes in and the new one is out. Full backup of heating
and DHW.

Now rip all that suff out you put in your house ASAP.


Why would he need to do that? You didn't use a hacksaw did you Andy?

Thank goodness for that. At least it's one cock up possibility less

Probably an axe. Or was it his £1000 Makita chop saw.
