Choosing the right type of energy to heat your home and hot water can be a tricky decision. Oil and Electricity must be considered the most convenient forms of energy but for those who don't mind spending a little time on their heating system, pellets and wood are excellent options in terms of heat and economy.

Both pellets and wood are environmentally friendly alternatives, as they do not contribute to green house effects. Local authorities are now specifying biomass boilers as their preferred heating method, and the Code for Sustainable Homes guidelines look favourably upon biomass boilers as an alternative energy source.

 

Pellet Burning Boilers are highly efficient and are an eco friendly heating method for your new home. Ask Solo Heating Installations for more details on Log Burning Stoves.

Biomass boilers burn pellets made from recycled materials such as wood chips. Older style boilers were only really available for large houses or commercial situations where high outputs were needed, but with new technology the whole system has been scaled down and can now used for domestic situations. The cost of a biomass system will be between £5,500 and £12,000 to include installation by Solo Heating Installations. You will have to give up some space for the hopper and feed units to be installed.

When designing your new home, it is advised that you speak to your Architect about allowing space for a biomass boiler to be installed.

VEDEX 3300 Overview

 

NIBE VEDEX 3300 is intended for heating domestic houses and other buildings.

The boiler is environmentally approved for wood firing to the accumulator tank. VEDEX 3300 can be set for pellet firing.

Log Burning Boilers and Biomass Boilers. Solo Heating Install Log Burning Stoves for your new self-buildVEDEX 3300 is a wood-fired boiler with induction flue gas fan. Max. wood length is 0.5 m. The boiler is designed to be connected to an external water heater for heating domestic hot water.

When firing, the boiler water is partially heated by the hearth and partly by the flue gas ducts.

Average output during wood burning operation is approx. 35kW (max. output is approx. 40kW).

Hot water heating

An accumulator tank with integrated water heater or coil is needed for hot water heating.

The hot water capacity is determined by the choice of water heater size or the length of coil.

Heating

Hot water is taken from the top of the boiler and routed to the accumulators. Return water from the accumulator tanks is lead via a charger pack to the bottom of the boiler. The hot water is led from the accumulators to the radiator circuit via a shunt valve, where the desired temperature to the radiators is maintained by mixing the hot accumulator water with the cooled return water from the radiator circuit.
