Running boiler pipes through chimney?

[SapperB]

Hi, we're looking at running boiler pipes through a chimney, the chimney has a flexible liner from a wood burner in it. There's plenty of room between the liner and the external wall. Is there a way to protect the pipes from heat given off by the liner?


Thanks

I need to know a few things before I can give you any advice.
1 How much room is there between the wood burning stove, flexiliner and the chimney.
2 Are you looking to heat water from the multifuel source or is it a complimentary system.

I can't see that it's in any way a good idea to run water pipes through the same duct as a solid fuel flue.

The heat in the flue would be enough to melt solder!

I wonder if there's any 'official' guidance - other than 'don't'

The burner is an Esse woodburning stove set in an inglenook. It's got a 6 inch flue into plate above. There's about 8 inches between the flue and the oak beam and about 10 inches between the flue and the rear chimney wall. (and a couple of feet to each side). So, the liner would be about 6-8 inches from the pipes at its nearest point. The Esse is used for domestic heating and hot water.
I was thinking of blanking the pipes off using fireboard, based on the idea that if the flue passed through a floor, you'd have to leave 3 times the diameter of the flue or 1 and a half if fireboard used. Does that make any sense?

sleeve the pipe with the next size up eg. 15mm in 22mm sleeve eg 22 in 28 sleeve both fit perfect . in one length from one side of chimney to other , no joints . no problem .cheers.

I read it that the OP wanted to run the pipes inside the chimney, parallel to the flue from downstairs to up. It's not something I have a great deal of experience in, though.
