Good day,
my name is Adrian and I am new to this forum and this topic of heating is something new to me. So it's about building a house of 130 sqm.
I want to use solar collectors in the summer for hot water in the house and a water-bearing fireplace in the winter for hot water and heating support.
The condensing boiler should be the main heating system.
The whole system should be operated via a UVR1611 from Technische Alternative because I own one myself.
Furthermore, I have already acquired 3 solar collectors from the company VivaSolar and bought a hot water storage tank from Hellmann with 2 heat exchangers and 400 liters. The fireplace should have a heat exchanger of 10 kW.
I have already read quite a bit on the internet about such systems and have made my own considerations, which I have put into a drawing. I have some questions regarding my ideas and whether they would actually work, since I am not a hydraulics expert.
In short, my idea is that in summer, hot water comes from the collectors, but of course the collectors should also support the heating when the domestic hot water tank is full. In winter, the fireplace should be regularly fired so that the gas consumption remains within limits.
- Here is a first question: since I live in Poland, I don't have to comply with any guidelines from German chimney sweeps. What is better, a flue gas heat exchanger or a coil that extracts heat from the embers, because that's roughly how it works?
- And what is more sensible if I am not at home for a longer period, say 2 weeks: to keep the buffer tank for the heating at, say, 50 degrees warm with the gas burner, or better to make a separate circuit as shown in the drawing, and how large should the buffer tank be?
- Can one use the return flow from the radiators for the underfloor heating and, if there is not enough warm water from the radiators, then take hot water directly from the buffer tank?
First of all, many thanks and I probably don’t have more questions for now.
