Central Heating with Integrated Tank Storage
Our Boiler units allow a single fireplace to heat your entire home, and domestic hot water too!
Harvest even more energy from a wood-burner and ‘combine’ it with other energy sources:
At Hydrofire we specialize in harvesting the energy from wood burning boiler stoves and fireplaces to heat:
• Wall mounted radiators • Underfloor heating (water based) • Domestic hot water • Heat storage – for when fireplace is not running
FIREPLACES • FLUES • CENTRAL HEATING

Basic Heating System • Completely even heat distribution throughout the house • If a certain area unoccupied – can be switched off 2 Aluminium Radiators (basic heating system): • Fireplace & radiators throughout the house only • Any excess energy can be stored in buffer tank (if one available) • The hotter the fire burns, the hotter the radiators & rooms.
3 Hydronic Underfloor Heating 4 • Using a specialised TM3 mixing valve, we are also able to integrate hydronic underfloor heating.
4 Domestic Hot Water 7 • Our tanks are certified for use with domestic hot water. • Solar mixing valve delivers 55 C water to the showers.
5 Heat Pump • Heat pump is purely as a backup. If fireplace not used and if series of cloudy days – heat pump ensures 3 Integrated Tank hot shower water and is still cheaper than electrical element heating mode. • If a larger heat pump is installed, it can also supplement 1 energy for the central heating.
6 Integrated Tank • Stores thermal inertia/energy. 6 • Central heating warms up first (heating priority). • Once desired temperature of 65-70 deg C is reached, 2 2 control system diverts heat to the storage tank via Backup Heat Pump 8 3-way valves.
5 7 Integrating Solar • Solar panels boost the temperature of the storage tank in the day.
8 Pool Heating • Since the solar panels are sized for winter conditions, they can deliver a lot more heat in summer. Therefore Here’s how: pool can be linked to the tank and any excess energy Integrating Solar in summer used for pool or jacuzzi heating. • Our boiler fireplace heats water in a closed loop system. • Hot water is pumped from the fireplace through the wall mounted 1. Warm house in the morning using stored tank energy radiators or underfloor heating to warm your home. 2. System is setup such that excess energy is stored in the tank. Alternatively • Our highly insulated tank integrates heat from several heat all fireplace energy can be diverted to the tank manually by the user. sources: Fireplace; Solar Panels; Heat Pump etc. 3. Enough energy in the tank to heat house 2-3 hours in the morning.* 4. Once tank temperature drops to 50 degrees heating is disabled to preserve • The stored heat in the tank can be used for: Radiator heating; hot water for showering. Underfloor heating; Domestic hot water; Pool Heating etc. * Depending on tank size; heating system size; stored tank energy We are also the exclusive distributors in Southern Africa.
