I'm having a woodburner which is heating a buffer tank, this system is operational and I got the buffer to approx 90 degrees. But now I am struggling to connect the buffer to my old fashioned central heating system.
For this I bought a Euroster uni2 controller, a pump with an electric mixing valve and an electric 3-way valve.
The following things are not clear to me;
1) Can I connect my current Nefit thermostat to the Uni2 controller, and connect the Uni2 to my gas boiler?
In this setup the Uni2 will decide based on the temperature in the buffer which heat source is selected.
2) When the buffer temperature is let's say above 50 degrees, the Uni2 will give a signal to the motorized 3-way valve to use the heat from the buffer. Also there goes a signal to the pump unit which will start. The built-in electric mixing valve is also controlled by the Uni2 to prevent a too high temperature in the heating system.
3) When the buffer is in the right temperature range, the Uni2 will shut off the boiler. It will only turn on when there is demand for warm domestic water. There is no hydraulic switcher between the in and outlet from the boiler. (The in and outlet are not connected, and both dead ended (by the 3-way valve) Is this a problem when the system is diverted via the buffer?
