HEAT HERO High Efficiency open vented Solid Fuel Heating System

[Alvin]

Has anyone heard off or installed this system? I would appreciate any feedback!

From their description I can't see what it does that a four way and three way junction and a few flow control valves and setting up on temperature flow and return would not do? Are the internals thermostatically controlled?

I cannot find any further specs on how it works, I've contacted the company and as yet have had no reply on how the system operates!!

Left hand coil in cylinder shows 2 flows. So complete ballocks.

Well spotted that man, the unit is correctly labelled, but they certainly got the diagram wrong. How could you trust a company that can't even get its own descriptions correct? Can those reviews be genuine, not if they connected the "Heat Hero" the way they show.

The diagram is confusing. I assume that is so that pipework is initially connected properly. The cylinder injector flow pipe after the pump (which is moved from Return to Flow) sends hot water the second manifold. It looks like hot water is from the bottom to the top of the cylinder coil and back out into the first manifold, where it is sent to the pump. The injector valve pipe has a gate-valve set to equalise temperatures between the coil and the radiators. That is my understanding (as a complete non-expert). It seems to me that reputable companies like Waterford Stanley would not recommend a defective system and that large-scale sellers to the trade and public (heatmerchants.ie, heatdesign.ie, plumbingproducts.ie, thegascompany.ie) would not stock it if did not produce efficiency improvements. Are you being too hasty in your dismissal? My only interest is that I am thinking of buying the system. You guys are the experts who could consider this beyond apparent diagram limitations.

Should be "The injector FLOW pipe has a gate-valve..."

I thought the same thing but the primary flows in reverse when the pump comes on.

This is explained in the discussion between Roger Bisby and Art McAcardle on the Skill Builder channel. It is not the b**ll**ks SimonG thinks it is - see

Must have shares in the thing.
