S Plan with Stove + Controls

I think I see what you mean. If I understand you correctly the sequence would be ... heating running from boiler, so the N/O valve is closed by the interlock from the boiler controls. Now someone lights the stove. There's no gravity circulation because that valve's closed, so heat builds up in the stove boiler. If your high level stat is close enough to the stove it will receive this heat as well, and close. This breaks the link to the low level N/O valve which then opens and allows circulation through the stove.

That could work as long as that high level stat does in fact sense the stove boiler temperature when there's no flow.

Solid fuel operation only you want the pump be operate only when the gravity return (low level stat) is up to temperature.

Hi,just crossing the tees'...just ensure that NO valving,manual or electric ,restricts circulation. This can be assisted or biased,but never restricted.

The default position,regardless of setting,malfunction or electrical mishap,should always allow gravity operation and dumping of output.

I have come across many systems,where boiler stoves have been shoe'd in,and things are groovy,till a fuse blows,or a pump/valve fails...and then it's thunder time...:tounge_smile:
