insert Experience Back to Vouzier water?

[Luc and Cindy]

After a meeting with another heating last night, we had a proposal for a system Vouzier ie an insert through a water exchanger heats the domestic hot water and central heating (PC or low temperature radiator). This system can be coupled with solar panels to heat water in the summer and make an extra winter.

Someone t have any experience, good or bad, of the principle of heating?

Hello,

The "Vouzier" home has existed for many years under other brands.
It is a wood boiler, which has the advantage to decorate a living room of flames.
Personally, this is the type of heating that I use for 7 years is a self-construction based on a Supra home, a balloon above the flames, coil in the back and cast iron door in recovery embers.
Cons: No inertia, below -5 ° must get up at night to recharge, clean the glass at all 2 3 days if loading dirt glass ceilings and a lot of dust, small animals in the wood basket running around and finally you need to empty the ashes ...

Still, nothing that to see the flames dancing behind the glass clean, forget the rest.
Personally I do not have these disadvantages, my home is now in a wall, I load the wood from the back of the home who is in a boiler room and my room is always clean.

A+

You would not by chance pictures of your installation?

I am trying to gather information on the stoves to boilers to start a self-help.

Bonjour à tous

I notice that the central heating by the chimney (hearth boiler) interests many members on this forum , me the first one (because oil currently)
Despite the many ingenious achievements presented by the members of this forum I have not found an ideal solution yet
I may be a little too demanding but leaves to do a new installation, provided that it is powerful, both in terms of econologic, as security (to reassure your insurer if bp)
Here is a semblance of specifications that could possibly help you choose the right material, if it exists at a manufacturer (Godin, Supra etc if some know the material?):

Fireplace insert Recessed
Power between 10 and 15 continuous Kw
High efficiency (over 75%)
Inertia (cast?)
Boiler with temperature control
Connection to existing central heating circuit
System clean glass
cold glass by air circulation between the 2 glass door (double glazed safety especially for children)
Easy to clean, especially glass and ashes

In addition, we could add the following feature

esthetisme
Possibility of supplying the fireplace with "outside" air (concentric duct)
Maximum heat recovery (flue)
smoke abatement system (apparently, no construsteur no offers)
Encouraging rate (and not dissuasive like some "green" pretension systems)

If some of you there other requirements, they can complete my list


Good reflection

www.ddg-heating.com Belgium offers a bit what you seek, except issue price.

You can also look here, the prices are very interesting.

Personally I'm going to turn towards complete self-build system drawing inspiration from what already exists. (Solder etc. is not a concern for me).

Hello,

There are three interchanges, 1 above the flames, embers at 1 and 1 in the back door.
I will make pictures when it's cold.
