I understand what you say and then I will focus more on ensuring the pump power for the duration of the load of wood that I put. Also we do not have very cold weather (no snow, winter temperature 0-5 ° C) and power is very stable, very few faults and low duration when they occur. thanks

Hi Allen. I appreciate your recomendations. I am just thinking to use a UPS (like the computers) for the pump and a controller with temperature sensor to operate the pump, to start it if the temperature in the water going out is above 30 °, even with flow control to raise it if increases temperature, and lower the flow if the temperature decrese. I also think to put a lid that goes from horizontal position (open) to vertical (closed), with electromagnetic lock (similar to those used in the doors) to keep it horizontal, and if the power fails gravity drop it upright so that cut air entering the chamber, to turn off the combustion, while the pump also continues to run (with the UPS). With this I thought to eliminate the risk of boil water if power goes off. In the design that Peter suggest if the water boil, it goes to the deposit and the worst that may occur is water going out through the security valve.
Next month I'll try some concept tests and I'll show my progress. Thanks

Thanks a lot for your advise. I will try some probes of concept before the permanent one and I'll try to read what you suggest. As son as posible I'll post some pictures and information about my advances.
Again thans for you effort.
Lots of reggards
Marcelo.

Peter, thanks a lot for your advise. I think your desing will work better
I know about the risk of using hot water, so I plan to put security valves and a water pump to be sure that the water flow moves fast enough to prevent evaporating.
Do you think that with this I can take most of the heat from the exhaust gas or there is still enough heat lost to put another copper spiral in the horizontal exhaust?
You know if anyone use this design? I think that with the mass of the standar design you can extract more heat from the gas but it's more dificult to distribute in a house of 120 square yards, it's easyer with water pipes under the floor.
Do you have another recomendation to me? is there any plane with measures to do this?
Once again thank you very much for all your time and dedication you have to help others.

Hi, thanks for your sugestions. If I understood well it is better to do something like this one

Thanks for you quick answer.
So you think it's better to take the combustion chaimber a bit longer (as in the picture 1) or the water tank start more up in the chimney (as in the picture 2).
The hot water exit is at the bottom because I think is better if the water flow in oposit direction to the heat flow, is more efficient to extract the heat, and the flow is forced by a water pump to and from the pipes under the floor.

Hi, my name is Marcelo and I'm from Uruguay (Spanish country, sorry for my bad english) and I'm very interested in rocket stove. I been watching your forums and other information in the site. Thanks for all what you share.
I'm building a new house and I want to heat it with a wáter floor heater conected to a rocket stove. I'm trying to design one and I want to ask you if youy think this can work or if you have some ideas to tell me to improve it.
Thanks a lot.
Marcelo
