think ill put a "Forum coil" in the tank and use that!! that should heat the UK as well and i can probably export the surplus to russia, i hear its really cold there in the winter.
But seriously, I understand the advise to use a plumber, i take it fully on board and understand its well meant and good advise.
If i knew a good plumber, specialising in this field, who i trusted and could afford, id use him.
Yes i am under engineered, thats why im here.
If as professionals you dont want to give advise to Henry, why allow Henry to join the forum?
My questions are as follows,
Indirect cylinder versus Thermal store ? if the size of tank is to be the same, 350 to 450 liters, are there REAL advantages ( economy, heat management etc) in choosing one over the other?
If i use a thermal store with a plate heat exchanger, can they handle the pressure and flow rate of a 3bar pump? is there a make or type i should consider?
What size heat sync should i consider to dissipate heat in the eventuality of power failure?. the heating circuit is 3/4 inch with 1/2inch spurs, all on one level. i was planning to run 1inch to the sync, which will be below the stove by about 1ft and 15ft away
Do you consider, given the unit cost, that it would be economical to consider retro fitting a laddomat on my oil stove while im at it?
Given i will have a solar coil in the tank before solar is installed, should i put fluid in the coil or will it be OK open until solar is installed. if so what fluid?
I would appreciate if we could move beyond the fact that I'm a tosser who doesn't know what he is doing and should employ a plumber!!
thanks in advance.
