Hi everyone,
We are in country Australia and there are not many heater people around we can talk to so hoping you all might have a few ideas.
We currently have an open system with a small 400L tank on the roof for DHW. We want to increase this to around 5000L to use as storage so we dont need to feed the fire all day.
Question is, we would like to thermosyphon into the tank, is this realistic? Looking at installing a Seton W130 since we can build one pretty easily, so the boiler will produce around 130k btu
With storage our idea was to have a non-pressurized tank with a heat exchanger for the pressurized heating loop and a second hx for the DHW. What sort of hx would people recommend? Just a 3/4 copper tube spiral or are there better options?
Thanks all![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
