Fireplace with water bag – supplement to central heating
|
If a fireplace is not only intended to provide a cosy atmosphere, but also to contribute to the central heat supply, then a version with a water bag should be used. The technology of a water-bearing fireplace stove makes it possible to transfer the heat output from the fireplace into an existing heating system and to distribute the heat to other rooms. A water-bearing fireplace stove is therefore a sensible addition to a conventional heating system.

Function:
The fireplace releases part of the generated heat into the room (radiant heat). The remaining heat is fed into a heating water circuit through an integrated heat exchanger (so-called water bag). This must be hydraulically connected. In most cases, the heated water is not supplied directly to a consumer, but is fed into a buffer tank. From there, the hot water can then be transferred to the radiators or an underfloor heating system, for example.
The following requirements must be met for a fireplace with water bag
:
• Hydraulic connection to the heating water circuit
• Thermal discharge safety device requires a discharge connection
• Thermal return flow boost to avoid gloss soot
Advantages
✓ Sensible use of surplus energy
✓ Heat storage and release, even after the fire has gone out
✓ Efficient heating combined with atmospheric ambience
✓ Can be used as an additional heat supply to existing heating systems
✓ TAS (protects the boiler from an unacceptably high operating temperature)
