[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 185981, member: 250"] Need a bit more info about the pipe work /cylinder arrangement to give accurate answer... Did one 18months back with log burner or oil boiler to heat a cylinder.. Then from that hot water, underfloor heat & towel rads. In this case the wood burner was just gravity flow to water cylinder.. If the cylinder got to hot had a thermostat high up on the cylinder to switch on a pump to dump heat off to the Two bathroom towel radiators.. But there was also a pipe stat on the towel rads in case the towel rads got too hot.. In the event of cylinder & towel rad dump getting too hot think it would then just go off on some pressure relief boil over pipework.. But the lengths of pipe run from log burner & furthest towel rads would allow a lot of heat to be dissipated anyway. These were in addition to the standard thermostat control for the bog-standard water & underfloor heating to turn on the oil boiler if the log burner not running.. Also the cylinder was a slightly non standard jobbie with two coils inside it.. So really could do with knowing how the plumbers has it connected to the main water/heating system??? :coffee [/QUOTE]
