Lost in post, Tuffnels own up to losing it. Will the seller actually claim back the money and send it to me? Well it's been over a month - so I guess not. £35 lost.<br /> NEVER reply to an email only - INSIST on knowing forum name.</p> <p>I know his actual name and where he works - but he has one last chance before I try the "who knows..."</p> <p>But then not many people are into LiPo batteries and conversions and DIY lights - so the field is quite narrow.

The seller has employed the delivery company so has recourse to reimbursement from them. You have received nothing, so the seller has not carried out his part of the transaction. Full refund due.

Then when the boiler is running, the stove will heat the rads but not fire the burner as it won't be required.</p> <p>Other way really would be to treat it as a separate system, far more complicated and expensive involving a new pump, relays, zone valve, stat etc etc</p> <p>You're not going to be able to use it for hot water production anyway, so forget that one unless you want to fit a tank and rum the combi as a system boiler </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/central-heating-system-with-two-heat-sources#post-2859197 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 18:55:54 +0000 still s8tannorm 2859197@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I've done it using a Dunsley Neutralizer ... don't be fooled it's just a metal junction box, nothing fancy in there at all, no valves, no baffles, no nothing.

There are 2 basic ways of doing it.</p> <p>1. Combining the heat sources and using the existing CH and HW circuits. For this you need a Neutralizer or a fancier version of it.</p> <p>Neutraliser - <a href="http://www.dunsleyheat.co.uk/neutralizerpics.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dunsleyheat.co.uk/neutralizerpics.htm</a> or<br /> H2 Panel <a href="http://www.h2panel.co.uk/h2index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.h2panel.co.uk/h2index.htm</a></p> <p>2. Using a thermal store to power the HW and CH. This would involve a new tank, but maybe the more efficient way of doing it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.newarkcoppercylinder.co.uk/cylinders/solar_thermal_store/" rel="nofollow">http://www.newarkcoppercylinder.co.uk/cylinders/solar_thermal_store/</a></p> <p>This also allows you to plumb a solar feed in.</p> <p>Decisions, decisions! </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/central-heating-system-with-two-heat-sources#post-2859044 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:41:36 +0000 TheBrick 2859044@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Defiantly possible. Possible method below perhaps?</p> <p>If the oil system is open vented (don't know if you can get unvented oil systems) I think you can do it easily and directly by more or less plumbing the woodburner into the primary system. If not I think you would have to go down the route of a thermal store with the unvented system on a coil and the vented system on the main thermal store fluid / primary system. Not an expert plumber just bits I've picked up on a few systems. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/central-heating-system-with-two-heat-sources#post-2859001 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:19:47 +0000 mucker 2859001@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Ok folks here's one to test you. We currently have an oil fired combi boiler, heating hot water and radiators, we also have an open fire in the lounge where a solid fuel central heating stove once was.<br /> We want to install a woodburning stove with a boiler/waterjacket and re-connect to the central heating system in place of the open fire and intergrate the two heating systems so that the two boilers can be run separately or in tandem.<br /> Can it be done, are there different methods, are there any acknowledged experts in this field, does anyone have any experience and are there definite do's and don'ts? </p>
