    Hello

    I am asking for help and a diagram of the best solution.
    I now have a floor heating with AFRISO ATM366 thermostatic valve mixing valve with grundfos upm3 pump, bypass.
    In the house there will be only a 12 floor circulator of approx. 1050m pipe, 16 house approx. 200m2 with an attic.

    It will be supplied from the kiln pellet Kostrzewa TWIN BIO LUXURY 16 kw
    In addition, the system is to be a hot water tank of approx. 250L

    I would like to be able to heat independently hot water, but also that it would be possible to put a floor heating floor back on.
    I wonder how to do it with the 3d or 4d valve.


    I do not know the installation completely so please be understanding. The installer will probably be connected, but I would like to be able to confront his vision with your solutions.

    Here you have the manufacturer's scheme:
     Pellet Boiler Kostrzewa TWIN BIO LUXURY 16kW, Floor Heating & AFRISO ATM366 Valve Integration
    If you only have a floor heating machine, you will need to invest in a buffer - as in the diagram - and connect the hot water tank to it and supply it to the floor divider.

    I do not know what you mean by:
    "but also that it would be possible to put a floor-tile on the return from the hot water"
    You could develop this issue.

    Well, just the installation for now I'm going to build without a buffer (cost limit), possibly expand it in the future (quite thick screed mixokreta think that it will be a sufficient heat buffer, I want to try it first) or in this case, just cut it out and scheme can it look like this? Of course, instead of this SYR5067 chip, I want to use open layout. And this "automatic return protection valve" is a 3D valve simply? Is it better to use 4D with an actuator. The boiler has a control function.

    "but also that it would be possible to put a floor-tile on the return from the hot water"

    I mean, is it possible to do this and whether it is a good solution that the floor heating power supply is connected to the return of the domestic hot water boiler. Of course, this would be realized when they operate, and what about hot water and in the summer it would be possible to disconnect and heat hot water.

    What do you think about the layout below

    or maybe a solution with a hydraulic clutch?

    This is not done. This is why there are separate pumps for central heating and for charging the hot utility water tank so that they can walk separately. In winter, both systems work, and in the summer only one (CWU).

    In my opinion, without a buffer, it will be very difficult to maintain the combustion process so that it is economical. The flooring has a lot of inertia, but it can not act as a buffer because you will have very large temperature fluctuations.

    See on what parameters this boiler works with the highest efficiency?
    For this you need a buffer - because you will not push such a temperature in the floor heating. In addition, your manifold already with a built-in mixing valve (thermostatic) will also make it difficult. If you do not set up a buffer now (when the best moment is) then later it will be more expensive, much more expensive and harder (less space, etc.)

    And what buffer for this installation would be the best? How much capacity? Do you need coils?

    And what the cost will be different now from later because I do not understand too much ???

    Buffer minimum 500 l capacity - preferably ~ 800-1000 l.
    Coils are not needed.

    The higher cost of subsequent assembly will be due to more work - cutting the installation, draining the water, fitting the buffer, etc. Now it is always easier to fit in and connect.

    Take a look at the attached diagram or will it work ok? For a max 300 L buffer, I can manage to get out as it is not a hydraulic clutch. If in this installation you can save on something, please info. Every zloty counts.

    Schematic vg.
    The clutch will not give you anything - it does not take up any amount of heat - there must be a buffer and that's as much as possible. Possibly a combination container - a tank in the tank. You have a buffer tank and a hot water tank in one, for example Biawar BUZ 750/300.

    Unfortunately, the price is overwhelming. I have quick questions about the buffer, maybe a little off topic. Can the buffer be horizontal and hang around the ceiling ?? (on the all-way there are old horizontal viessmans). Possibly black-colored tanks will give it up? How with their endurance? I have quite a small boiler room and it gets tight there.

    If I do not have to use this 80kw clutch and see what will be ... The pellet stoves are quite well controlled and this can help.

    One more question about the open tank. How old is it right to go to the pipes? Because I saw somewhere that one pipe can be grasped and I see that on some schemes there are 3 pipes. What are the others and what is necessary? I know that the warm water entering from the top is to be made of copper tube 28. The rest does not have to be so expensive?

    Old topic, but I'm also thinking about the Pellet stove and floor. I am puzzled by the symbol of the crossed out (one line) rectangle in the diagram. Could someone explain it?

    I guess it's a check valve. But this dot in him changes something? Is this a direction of flow (assembly)?

    It is a symbol of a check valve - you can say a flap - you need to be careful with the installation in accordance with the flow.

    Thank you very much. I thought so, but I wasn't sure. This connection scheme of the boiler from Kostrzewo seems to be well thought out. I think that's exactly how I will do it at home. I would have three more questions if I could:

    1. There behind the heat buffer, on the right - is a boiler with a coil, right? I understand this correctly?
    2. Expansion vessels are expansion and the whole works in a closed system?
    3. SYR valve - the one behind the boiler - has a drain to the sewage system? Is there any vessel that is supposed to collect this water?

    1. Yes - there is a boiler with a coil. But a better solution are standing tanks / exchangers with a large coil for gas or jacketed boilers.
    2. Yes - there are diaphragm vessels and the system is closed. You have to remember that the boiler should have in the papers that it is suitable for closed systems and for this you need to properly protect it, among others, you can use a cooling valve.
    3. Water from the cooling valve goes to the sewage system and not to the vessel (it would have to be very large). In addition, the use of a cooling valve has its own requirements: water from a mains water supply and not from a well with a hydrophore - the point is that if there is no electricity, the water will flow.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the integration of a Kostrzewa TWIN BIO LUXURY 16kW pellet boiler with a floor heating system and an AFRISO ATM366 thermostatic mixing valve. The user seeks advice on the optimal installation layout, particularly regarding the use of a buffer tank for efficient heating and hot water supply. Responses emphasize the necessity of a buffer tank (recommended capacity of 500-1000L) to maintain combustion efficiency and manage temperature fluctuations in the floor heating system. The importance of separate pumps for heating and hot water is highlighted, along with considerations for future expansions. Various installation diagrams are shared, and questions about the functionality of components like check valves and expansion vessels are addressed.

FAQ

TL;DR: For a 16 kW pellet boiler, plan a 500–1000 L buffer; “Buffer minimum 500 l capacity” is the expert guidance. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16632402]

Why it matters: This setup stabilizes temperatures, improves efficiency, and lets you heat DHW independently of the floor loops—ideal for DIYers confronting installer proposals.

Quick Facts

Do I really need a buffer tank with underfloor-only heating?

Yes. Without a buffer, combustion control becomes inefficient, and floor mass cannot replace thermal storage. You will see large temperature swings. The manifold’s thermostatic mixing also limits supply temperature, which further argues for a buffer to let the boiler run optimally. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16631406]

What buffer size fits a 16 kW pellet boiler?

Use at least 500 L; 800–1000 L works better for stability and efficiency. Coils are not required in the buffer for this case. This range supports decoupling from low-temperature floors while allowing long, efficient boiler cycles. “Buffer minimum 500 l capacity.” [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16632402]

Can I feed floor heating from the DHW cylinder return to save parts?

No. That approach couples DHW and heating. Use separate pumps: one for central heating and one for DHW charging. In winter both can operate; in summer, only the DHW loop runs. This keeps control simple and avoids unwanted floor circulation during DHW priority. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16631406]

Is a hydraulic clutch a substitute for a buffer tank?

No. A hydraulic clutch does not store heat. It cannot stabilize boiler operation or provide DHW priority like a thermal store. Use a proper buffer or a combination tank-in-tank (e.g., Biawar BUZ 750/300) to integrate heating and DHW in one vessel. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16634262]

Can I start without a buffer and add it later?

You can, but it costs more later due to rework: cutting the system, draining, and retrofitting space. Installing the buffer from the start is easier and cheaper because routing and placements are planned once. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16632402]

What does the crossed rectangle with a dot symbol mean on the diagram?

It indicates a check valve (non-return flap). Install it respecting the marked flow direction. Incorrect orientation blocks circulation and can cause pump cavitation or no-flow faults. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #18464998]

Should my pellet system be open or closed, and what protections are needed?

A closed system with diaphragm expansion vessels is fine if the boiler is certified for closed operation. Protect it with a cooling valve. This safety device must meet the boiler’s documentation requirements. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #18466047]

Where should the boiler cooling valve discharge, and what water supply does it need?

Discharge the cooling valve to the sewage system, not to a small vessel. It also requires mains water supply. Edge case: wells with hydrophore may fail to deliver water during a blackout, defeating overheat protection. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #18466047]

How do I prioritize DHW and floor heating through pump control?

Use separate pumps for CH and DHW. In the controller, enable DHW-only mode for summer and CH+DHW for heating season. This avoids cross-heating and ensures quick tank recovery when needed. “They can walk separately.” [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16631406]

Does the AFRISO ATM366 thermostatic manifold affect boiler efficiency?

Yes. The built-in mixing lowers supply temperature to the floor, so the boiler cannot send its optimal high temperature directly. Pairing with a buffer lets the boiler run hot while the manifold mixes down for floors. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16631406]

What is a combination (tank-in-tank) buffer, and when is it useful?

A combination tank integrates a heating buffer and a DHW tank in one body. It saves space and piping while delivering storage for the boiler and domestic hot water. Example referenced: BUZ 750/300. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16634262]

Is a 16 kW pellet unit with a 250 L DHW tank a sensible starting point?

Yes, it’s a typical pairing for a medium home with underfloor heating. Add a buffer to stabilize cycles and support independent DHW heating. This keeps rooms steady and hot water available year-round. [Elektroda, Shirosan, post #16629591]

What’s the simplest 3-step way to wire pumps for independent DHW and CH?

  1. Install separate circulators: one on the CH loop, one on the DHW coil loop.
  2. Connect each pump to dedicated controller outputs (CH and DHW).
  3. Set summer mode to DHW-only; set winter mode to CH+DHW with DHW priority. [Elektroda, ls_77, post #16631406]
