    Sourcing a heat exchanger was problematic. (well not if you are prepared to stump up the cash)
    However I think I now have a neat solution and should be in posession of the twin domed cylinder-coil heat exchanger next week. The valve station changes are not added to this drawing.
    Extremely busy at work so the project is on hold and also waiting delivery of the 55 degree termovar sensor..
    But hey the sun is shining. Happy Days.

    Stoves online mention using a gasification boiler
    without the thermal storage facility.


    They do. They also say;

    "Gasifying boilers are batch burners - meaning that you load them right up, burn them hard, let them burn down, and then reload if needed..........The heat from the wood is often stored in a hot water heat accumulator tank for use as and when needed, although you can connect a gasification boiler directly to a standard heating system."

    It seems they've assumed all gasifying boilers are log burners; maybe all theirs' are. There is no mention of chip and pellet boilers most/all of which are gasifiers.

    I wouldn't put much store in their suggestions.

    I agree with OneBC. They deffo need a buffer tank/s. Of course they all can be fitted on a sealed system!!!
    This is just another example of the hard of thinking, thinking they can do Plumbing & Heating work, get a qualified Plumber in without delay dafty!!!

    "They all" being what exactly? Solid fuel boilers?

    The OP's boiler is KSW plus which is a fan assisted non gasifying boiler.
    And their is no internal quench coil fitted to operate in conjunction with a thermal dump valve like a TS130.

    Are you saying this boiler can be fitted on a sealed system here in the UK?

    Handbags at dawn lol.
    Picked up the heat exchanger vessel yesterday.
    It's very compact and just what I wanted. No space for large vessels.
    The boiler's primary fuel is actually coal with wood being a secondary fuel but they will incinirate just about anything depending on just how severly you want to treat the flue I guess.
    Anyway this is my latest draft for the heat exchange interceptor vessel. (as I call it lol)

    What I need now is a fixing bracket for mounting unto unistrut and was thinking of using the red expansion vessel brackets.
    Does anyone know if these can be purchased separately without the vessel from suppliers? Or can anyone think of a better way of mounting the vessel?
    Many Thanks.

    Update.
    What was on paper is now reality. :)

    I used galvaband in the end and some construction adhesive down the length of the two vertical unistruts at the back.
    It's very secure.
