That, in a nutshell, is the problem with this type of unit. You cannot control the heat so if you don't have adequate flow of cool water entering the water in the stove will flash to steam and blow the PRV. The only way I can think of to make this work safer is to install a large storage tank for the heated water or some way to cool the water once it reaches a certain temperature (below boiling point).
