And to avoid danger of legionella won't I just need to isolate the mains from the close circuit with a valve which will open only when I'll open a tap along the closed circuit, so that fresh water can flow in?? Thx
.. when the taps are open the water branches off that way if they are shut, the water keeps circulating back in the circuit! Imagine a closed circuit of pipe which passes through a fireplace and through an electric water heater. The water just circulate passing through them. ... The only...
Thanks but U are too dramatic. The worst it'll happen is to have cold water nd a warm room. I'm obviously gonna put safety pressure and temperature gauges nd discharge valves. It'll b nice if someone would just advise me on those :) ..
Hi I'm making up a Fireplace (underfloor + tabs) water heating, with additional electric boiler / under sink water heater which will serve as a cistern and as a water heater when the fireplace is off. .. So I put 65m of 1/2'' pipe under the floor. Now i'll pass it through my fireplace via...
Thank u, I'll try to get a contact to get proper infos. Thing is any constructor will never instruct me on using his 'creation' in a manner not ment for ... ;) In the main time I am getting loads of very useful ''food for thoughts'' CHEERS :)
Hi, ye well if the electric heater will just allow the water to flow through it, it'll be switched off nd I will start it only when and if it'll be necessary ;) Thanks.
Thank you I'll keep this into consideration. There will be a overheating discharge valve in any case ;)
Hi, Thank you! .. naa it'll never get that hot to turn into steam. I'm gonna keep my fire to a minimum, If the water will reach 30° it'll be sent around the floor circuit, I'll feel hot nd I'll stop feeding the fire. .. The drinking water will be cold water which goes to the taps via a...
Appreciated. The electric water heating will already have a pressure safety valve, and I will put an overheating release valve somewhere in there. The fire in the fireplace will always be contained and at a low heating value. And everytime the water will reach 30° a pump will make the water go...
