   Hello.
   Does anyone know of an LPG-compatible heat exchanger system for boosting hot water which runs off a wetback on a Nectre Mega combustion stove?
   I understand that Beasley used to make a system like this but since they were taken over by Rinnai, the only option is an electrical system with a 3KW heating element in it. Kind of defeats the purpose, especially when you are on solar.

   This would be in addition to an LPG hot water system. I wanted to make more use of the wood stove.

   Cheers

   Hi,

   I can help you with a wood/wood chip boiler, not only to poduce hot water, but also to generate power.

   Yes, we at MIZUN manufacture wood/wood chip fired boiler(the woodchips are fed automatically) which produces steam of medium temperature and pressure - 200C/ 15Bar(225 PSIG).

   This steam is sent to our Steam turbine which generates elecricity. The steam loses its potency and comes out as hot water from exhaust. This hot water is sent thru the pipes to heat up the house/barn/stables and is sent back to the boiler.

   Or if you want, the boiler can be designed to accept both LPG and woodchips but will be an expensive affair.

   So burn all the wood/agro waste you can bring in and generate power and heat up th space.

   Best wishes,
