New woodburning boiler stove is first to work with sealed heating systems
A new highly efficient woodburning stove that incorporates a boiler to generate hot water for central heating and can be connected directly to a sealed heating system as well as plumbed conventionally on an open system has been launched by Broseley Fires. Like all stoves in the company's eVolution range, the new eVolution 8 combines eco friendly features with a contemporary design and the latest in stove technology. But what makes it particularly suited to 21st century living is the fact that it incorporates the Safety Cold Water System (SCWS) which was pioneered by Broseley Fires. SCWS enables Broseley’s solid fuel boilers to be fitted onto new or existing sealed central heating systems without the need for additional pipework and controls to vent the boiler. The eVolution 8 system can easily link up with other boilers or heat sources such as solar panels or ground source heat pumps through connection via a thermal store or low loss header. The eVolution 8 boiler stove was developed by Broseley to meet the growing demand in Europe and the UK for highly insulated, air-sealed housing and sealed heating systems. The system means that, for the first time, a wood-burning boiler can be seamlessly integrated into an existing sealed heating system, including combi boilers, with no additional expansion tanks or unsightly pipework. The eVolution 8 is a free standing stove which is designed to maximise convection heat output from all working surfaces. The huge 400mm x300mm glass panel has a door designed for a crisp, quality closure and is kept clear with a pre-heated air wash offering high visibility of the flames. The slimline design is finished in grey painted steel and has a nominal heat output of 11kw, 8kw to water and 3kw to room, and is one of the most efficient in the industry operating at 83 per cent efficiency. Says Product Development Engineer Tristan Johnston: "The modern home demands a good-looking, highly functional heat source that combines contemporary design and solid construction with the very latest technology and maximum efficiency. The eVolution 8 fits the bill perfectly and was developed with this growing market in mind. It gives just the right amount of heat into the room while meeting the hot water/heating demands as a secondary source of heat." He adds: "All eVolution stoves are highly efficient and clean burning and with us able to offer the choice of free standing, inset or boiler stoves, there is now a model to suit every home." All installers of the SCWS have to be trained by Broseley Fires on the system and how to install its additional safety features. Broseley provides this training free of charge to affiliated installers. Also, the eVolution 8 is subject to reduced VAT of 5% to end users, part of a government incentive scheme. - - - ENDS - - - View this release on Broseley Fires’ online media centre Images to accompany this release: click here
