A simple heating system design for
private house

For most customers, the classic heating system remains the most acceptable solution. The main motivation of customers for this choice is lack of interest in additional costs. As a rule, to optimize payments, it is enough to insulate the house and install a traditional heating system with sufficient power to heat the premises in the cold season. A heating system project for a private house usually includes one circular circuit with the connection of radiators and the installation of a boiler.

Modern approaches to the organization of traditional heating

To optimize such a system, experts recommend installing a heat accumulator over time, although when installing our automatic pellet burners, the intensity of the boiler can be controlled. This solution makes the heat accumulator useless, including taking into account the criteria of autonomy. Solid fuel devices are independent of external sources.

Our experts tell our readers about two engineering solutions for private houses, these are:

• a heating system project for a private house with one circuit on a solid fuel boiler with a heat accumulator;
• design of a heating system with one circuit on a solid fuel boiler and pellet burner FOCUS with analog climate control.

How are these two projects different? First of all, the capacity and cost of implementation. In the first case, the owner of the house must spend time firing the boiler, but their number is reduced to 1 per day. The rest of the time, the temperature of the coolant is maintained by a heat accumulator, which, if necessary, can also provide hot water treatment. Today it is the best project for a heating system of a small private house with the necessary autonomy.

The second option is a modification of the first. The solid fuel boiler is equipped with a FOCUS pellet burner with additional equipment, which results in automatic feeding of wood pellets and control of the combustion intensity depending on climatic conditions.

Single-circuit heating system of a private house on a solid fuel boiler

The project of a heating system for a private house with one heating circuit is good for its simple implementation. As a rule, it can be implemented without involving wizards. The presence of a heat accumulator in the system allows you to make a heating circuit on polypropylene and metal-plastic pipes. This can be done without worrying about a short-term rise in temperature in the system to 130 degrees Celsius, due to the solid fuel boiler. Provided that most heating products are rated for a maximum of 95 degrees Celsius.

Advantages of a single-circuit heating system:

• ease of implementation;
• long service life due to the thermodynamic balance in the system due to the heat accumulator;
• no need to install expensive climate control and radiator regulators, the temperature in the batteries can be controlled mechanically using a pump or using a simple temperature sensor;
• the ability to connect hot water treatment;
• relatively low selling price;
• moderate labor costs;
• power 8-15 kW.

Heating system of a private house with a pellet burner

This solution is more difficult to install, has a rather high implementation price and high power. It is suitable for autonomous heating of cottages and buildings with a fairly large area, especially in cases where a fairly simple implementation should be. For example, a boiler heats one radiator circuit with rather high heat losses, which significantly affect costs.

Advantages of a heating system for a private house with a pellet burner:

• system power from 17 to 90 kW;
• low fuel costs with high combustion efficiency;
• autonomy and full automation of work, if necessary;
• maintenance of heating circuits of any complexity (hybrid heating systems);
• low financial and labor costs for service.

The main advantage of the pellet boiler house is not only the full autonomy mode (when installing additional equipment), but also low heating costs... They can be comparable to the fuel costs of a conventional solid fuel boiler house, designed for a lower capacity, the design of which is shown above.
