The solid fuel boiler comes from the right hand side and the oil boiler from the bottom.

Here's the valve station I built for it...

You won't find anything like that on your travels through the sticks of Tyrone. What do you think of that big Danfoss AVTA cooling valve in there and the 28mm sheeps crook anti gravity loop? Nice features I think and works extremely well.
Where's the heat going once your cylinders at temp?
Yes the solid fuel boiler needs a cold feed as well.
@ simong sfa require a heat leak rad or gravity to cylinder or both
22mm and a 22mm vent seperate from the other boiler
may be more use http://www.solidfuel.co.uk/pdfs/link_up.pdf the previous link shows systems not allowed in the UK
I think you are referring to the heat leak radiator being ommited on the schematic.
From the sfa.....
The heat leak radiator is not a safety device but serves to reduce the risk of water boiling and discharging into the header tanks and out the overflow. I am not aware of any legislation which covers this issue.
MI's always superceeds the regs in any case.
Be careful to make sure the return from cylinder to boiler has a slight, consistent fall - even though it is below floor.[/QUOT
yes i will thanks for that advise
you have to think of others looking at this thread and thinking its ok to put a solid fuel boiler on a pressurised system, as this thread is about linking solid fuel to oil
What way do you have it piped? Have you used 4 pipes, ( 2 for gravity, normally 28mm & 2 for pumped circuit).
The gravity pipes should have a vent on flow & a feed on return. No valves or pump.
Then you are a muppet you have installed it illegally and its dangerous
Not a way I would think of doing it. Assume you took the pipes to cylinder & then rads. That means the pump is on the gravity return, near to boiler?
