It's a ugly lump of a stove.
Your still going to need a small tank above that stove. It's a very good idea in that there is a heat exchanger inside the stove boiler box which is basically the same idea as a thermal store. The issue I see there is that there is very little store.
Anyone with the idea of linking up stove/oil boiler should only consider an open system either linked using davys method in post no. 7 or the more complicated and costly systemlink/dunsley neutralizer
Read link on Estherm website with interest.
Have a few questions.
Do you burn coal in stove?
What happens if power failure occurs?
Is an external thermal exchanger/store fitted?
Do you have a connection to Estherm? as you have mentioned them in different threads.

The only connection we have is they fitted a stove for us and we are very pleased. We have had stoves previous and none would heat all our rads.
They told us to burn Logs turf briquetts heatlogs they said coal was dirty and when the fan would stop you can get a build up of soot around the pipes cutting down on efficency.
You can get a battery back up for the stove but we didnt.
dont know about your question about thermal store sorry.
Ring them and find out

Magtape Iasked this question off another on the site so to save you being left out I'll ask you also with regard to the turbo stove. how much electricity does the turbo stove use i.e for the fan/pump etc.Did you notice any massive increase in electicity bill with it running.

Hi all,
Anyone have any experience with polished concrete floors?
There's one company here in Cork but all they do is come and polish the screed, the actual finish is decided by the aggregate mix and concrete colour which seems a bit random unless you are physically there when your 'floor' is being mixed, making sure everything is mixed correctly???
I'm not leaving this to chance and if I'm I'm going to the trouble and expense of polishing a large floor area then I want to have some sort of reassurance,
any advice?
Thanks.

Have a look at www.ranley.co.uk and get in touch should you require further information/advice.
Screed isn't the best surface for polishing as you cannot put a strength on it. The 10-20mm aggregate in the concrete provides the strength and the cement acts as the binder, so concrete needs to be used. Optimum strength for polishing is between 30-35n. You have to decide what aggregates, intregal colours etc you want to use to acheive the finish you are looking for.
Things to take on board are, control joint placement, the use of polypropene fibres, concrete slump should be consistant, concrete should come from same source for entire floor keeping the materials consistant, concrete should be vibrated to ensure there are no airholes in the concrete once grinded etc. We provide a briefing paper which includes the elements to be considered, for contractors, architects, and clients so that everyone is aware of what has to be done. These are normal practices and with a little thought and planning you can have a truely unique floor finish.
Ranley use the latest innovative dry grinding methods of polishing concrete. We use the latest HTC machines and tooling to provide this service in Ireland. The old method of wet polishing is not used as much today as dry polishing can leave a better finish without the mess of sludge etc when using water. Our process is dustless as we use the latest dustless technology.
All Ireland coverage.

At least you openly declare your interest I suppose. Mods.........?

Hi baldyman
It certainly is an ad, but it seems to provide specialist technical information as well.
It's one of those difficult ones, but on balance I think we should leave it.

Brendan, fair enough, but its posted in a thread about central heating. Also, Foxybaz just posted to open the opportunity to reply. The floors on the site do look good though!!
