I'm considering a solar air heater (screen in a box), that then heats a water thermal storage tank. Also cheap to build, low weight for roof/wall mounting. No freeze/drain-back issues. IF (big if) you can put all or some of the thermal storage tanks inside* the rooms that you want to heat from the thermal storage. Then you will have no heat loss from the thermal battery as it will be "leaking"...heat into the area you want heated anyway**. Depending on the season, you could use reduced or even no insulation for the thermal tank. Although insulation give you more control of course. (*same concept applies no matter the original water heating source)
The water in a box design (without the heat exchanger coils) could provide for easy drainback. Seems best to use with a reflector since the pool can't be tilted, lol.
Thank you. I am setting up for a wood fired hydronics heating system, with the exterior boiler being a cheap gas hot water heater necked in as the flue of a smoll rocket stove. Or I might use Methanol, we'll see. But the idea is to keep the fire outside of the tinderbox that is a Caravan. I shall then pump the hot water into the "Tiny House" and through a car radiator with a 12V fan. I need to add some thermal mass, which will provide heat buffering and storage for at night when it isn't going to be burning.
yes, using a heat exchanger is better than using the water directly, you can also use same idea or circulate water or a anti-gel liquid to a DIY solar collector
Hi, can you say the total length of the spirals? I thought the white tube was 40 meters but is that 40 meters considered on spiral by it self? If so , I believe you mentioned several spirals. I appreciate your work very much and continue to pray for the safety of you all. Christ bless and keep you.
thanks very useful,but u can cover the stiroform with box tapes or duck tape to make its life longer and to make more efficient in not loosing heat also ,and u must seal where the hose is in and out the stiform with plasticine for kids,and try a bigger stiroform box ,and cover the upper glass with transparent tape,so it could be more protected
Hello, great videos! Can you make a video of how can you use a solar heater together with a conventional gas boiler? Can they work in parallel? Can the water from the solar heater get fed into the gas boiler and reduce or eliminate the gas usage. How do you connect the two without manual intervention to use them both at the same time when solar alone won't do it 100%. thanks!
in series, not parallel, just feed the solar preheated water into other heaters of your choice, the conventional won't turn on if it deems the input water is already hot enough,
Сергей можно поменять воду нагревателя на материал который меняет фазы парафин и сода (не пищевая), при нагреве это все дело тает и при охлаждении медленно отдаёт свое тепло и твердеет, днем опять тает итд. медь имеет лучшие качества тепло обмена чем пластик.
Dear Yurko. congratulations, but, olny, please - as my constructive criticism - why mr does not store 40% of the solar hot water hourly produced day-to-day to use for up to 23 hours in a small airtight stainless steel thermal enclosure until cheap (covered with styrofoam plus mylar) and where the proven hourly thermal losses are to be only just 3 degrees / hour ???
Интересно! Хотя и непонятно без перевода, но возможно, что: Для работы в саду или поле, да и просто рабочего человека такая установка может быть полезна и минус того что она не работает в пасмурную погоду, состоит в том что и человек при этом меньше потеет и меньше нуждается в душе, а если захочет, то может воспользоваться привычным источником тепла, например пропаном. Что же касается принятия душа по утрам интересная буржуйская привычка притом что ложились спать чистыми в чистую постель? =) Но несуть возможно у вас важная встреча с партнёром и да тогда это проблема. Которая может решиться масштабируемость установки и утеплением. В остальных случаях стисни зубы и "...закаляйся как сталь"
You know you could probably preserve Heat by closing a lid over the heater at night and then opening it again during the day period no different than opening and covering a spa lid. Ah! blanket! Could you address the issue of the sun's angle with a simple mirror?
Rất tuyệt vời với mô hình nước nóng sửa dụng năng lượng mặt trời
Sergiy deneysel olarak bunları denemen çok hoş diğer deneylerin için sabırsızlanıyorum
Great idea! This might work in Poland too I think. Thanks Sergiy
Excellent job, this will help many during winter. Thanks
In winter, it will work poorly
Great work, thanks.
You can use mirrors to use this system in places where the sun is low.
good video. solid experiment, with well logged results.
This is fantastic information, thanks

@@unionse7en yeah i meant series. great. thx

where did old videos go ? :(
RUclips forced to remove them because of the robot voice. Some of my old videos are (and will be) on my 2nd channel named "Cheap Solar Heat"
long life to ucraine,bro
Stick a mirror behind it.
