readiescards Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Visited Home & Hearth at the weekend and was shown a log burner design specifically for low heat demand passiv houses, the Woodfire Passiv from these guys: http://www.firepowerheating.co.uk/hearth-and-homes-exhibition-2016 Seemed neat: 2kW room 9 kW water direct air only room sealed However it failed the SWMBO 'must look right' test - sorry no photo as the show had a big sign at the front entrance saying no photos allowed. That'll be me back to square one then. PS. I'm in no way associated with Firepower heating but they have been jolly helpful and seem a friendly bunch.

Trw144 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is it this one....?? https://www.stovesonline.co.uk/wood_burning_stoves/Woodfire-CXT12-boiler-stove.html Also is 9kw not a little much for a passive house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 9Kw? No problem, leave the doors open all year, open all the windows, and turn the MVHR up full. Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I wired a straw bale house that had one like this, at least similar output levels. The idea was the high water output heated a large thermal store so you only needed to burn the stove every few days and the low room output was to try and ensure you didn't overheat the house when doing so. I believe from the occupants it is working well, but it's situated in a large double height space that can stand a high heat input for a short time. Put it in a small room and you might have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I like the look of that. Of course there is still the flue cold bridge to think about- what's the best option for mitigating that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trw144 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Is that the right one? I'm on the stand 1m away from them so can take pictures if you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are others on the market with a similar output to room but a bit lower to water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJunFan Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was looking at that one but the trouble and strife doesn't like the look of it. Too boxy? Is that a thing? Wants something more traditional looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
