Multi Fuel Stoves With Back Boiler
A multi-fuel stove with a back boiler is used to heat your home and provide hot water. They have two water ports (1x flow and 1x return) that are sized to 1 inch BSP and can be connected to pipe work by using compression fittings that are standard.
Features
Multi fuel stoves with back boilers can be used to burn an array of materials other than logs. This allows you to choose from a wider range of sources of heat, helping you to cut costs and reduce your carbon footprint. Multi fuel stoves are designed to burn a wider range of materials more efficiently than wood burning stoves. Multi fuel stoves that include a back boiler can burn smokeless coal, turf or peat briquettes and traditional logs. They can be equipped with a raised grates with moving bars, or with central riddling grates and asphan. Both will let the stove de-ash frequently. Ash will be contained in an asphan below the combustion area, to ensure the safe and efficient removal.
Boiler stoves offer a heat output of up to 21kw (14kw for water heating and 7kw for space heating) according to the model selected. They can be connected to an accumulator tank for hot water or a conventional boiler system, allowing them to operate together with solar panels, if needed. The boiler is housed within the stove and is usually on the side or back of the firebox. It is made out of a thick, rolled steel and is not a fragile cast iron.
It is also less susceptible to rust because it is able to withstand higher temperatures than cast iron stoves. The boiler can be supplied with the stove pre-installed or as a separate add on, and there typically are two (sometimes four) pipes that extend from the back of the stove to connect to plumbing pipes.
These pipes can be attached to a hot-water cylinder, or directly to the radiator circuit of your home. Pumps are activated when the temperature of the tank's water reaches certain levels. This will ensure that your radiators get heated prior to hot water being used for cooking and bathing. It also helps to lower your expenses and protect against freezing in winter.
Benefits

Stoves that are Eco Design 2022-compliant make use of up to six times less fuel than earlier models and will aid in reducing your fuel costs and cut the environmental footprint. There are many models available, from ones that just heat water to those that heat up to 22 radiators as well as provide hot water for the entire household.
The majority of multi-fuel stoves that have back boilers feature a simple bolt in system. Two pipes extend from the back of stoves and are ready to connect to plumbing pipes. Other styles are fitted with a 'water jacket', where the body of the stove has an opening that can be filled with water and usually with a pump to circulate the hot water.
Installation
The Ruben is an impressive stove with a huge ceramic window, silver door handles/controls, and a back-boiler that is integrated for central heating and hot water (up to 7kw water heating and 8kw room heating). The Ruben has two water ports at the rear of the stove (one for flow and one for return) which are both measured at 1.0 inch BSP. It can be used on vented or unvented stoves.
A multi-fuel stove with a back boiler can be connected to central heating systems by with a simple non return valve or to thermal storage tanks with an overheat valve. A thermal storage tank is a tank of water that is insulated and serves as a neutral for the heat produced by the stove. It holds the heat until it is required.
You must ensure whether your local authority allows the installation of a wood-burning stove that has back boiler, and that any insurance companies are happy with the installation. You will also need to make sure that your plumbing system is able to handle the additional power that is being generated. Usually you will need to replace the plumbing in order to make this feasible.
If your installer has experience in this sort of work then they will be able to provide you with the information needed. However, beware of sanitary plumbers who claim to be solid fuel heating engineers and may not fully understand the basic principles of this type of system. Stovesellers has been asked on numerous occasions to fix the mess created by other tradesmen. We only advise you to choose a competent engineer.
It is essential to be aware that you will need larger capacity cylinders for a multifuel stove that has a back boiler. The heat output of the stove will need to be carefully adjusted to the house to ensure that you don't run out of water and spending money.
