Hello,
we were at a log cabin the other day. The house has a fireplace that heats water and provides hot water, and in addition a solar system (Or solar thermal? - No idea. In any case 8m²) and a buffer tank. Nothing more. (Except for an emergency heating coil in the buffer tank). I was only roughly interested during the visit, so I didn't go into the topic further and am therefore asking here now:
The heating (meaning the fireplace) is connected to the underfloor heating. How exactly does the control work? Because apparently they have a regulator in every room with which they can turn the heating on and off per room.
But the stove keeps running all the time?? - You can't just turn off the stove. How does this regulation work? I can imagine that the buffer tank absorbs this, but after a while the water would get extremely hot and then constantly run off through the emergency overflow?! (Waste of water??) Can such a heating system be controlled based on temperature?
Who knows about this?
