Stand alone oil burner for shed

mickdw

I'm building a shed that needs to be air tight to current building standards and heated.

I dont want to go with electric heating and seeing as I have an oil working oil burner and tank, Im hoping to go with oil heating with burner installed outside the shed.

My question and it's one for plumbers I'd.

Can I have an oil system installed supplying rads in shed without a hot water cylinder? Mains water supply is available adjacentto shed.

So ideally I'm thinking burner outside, minimal space required internally for workings re heating system and pipework then to rads.

Anyone shine any light on what's required before I size the shed.

NO need for HW cylinder, just design a closed system with pressure vessel, red

temp stat in shed to cut out the boiler, job done

is shed built

That was what I was hoping. The red pressure vessels are small so no issue with that.

The shed is not built. Will get about sizing it now.

thank about fan assisted rads for rapid heating,

will it be heated 24/7

It's to be a snooker room and as such critical not to have some fixture poking out into the cueing space hence the query re plumbing before starting.

Ideally room and table would be kept at a constant heat but I will be heating it from about lunch time to late evening each day I'd imagine.

Correct Humidity control would be important as well so look at psychrometric charts, they can be a bit off putting, I have a few simple slides which I will post at the weekend but the basic idea is that if air temp drops, the RH goes up.

I suspect you are on top of this idea from your work but if not am happy to chat to u about it
