In one video with the same topic, the person used propan as well. He said, that the propan for bbq use is added with sulphuric stuff to make it smelly. This sulfuric stuff reacts with the oil in your compressor and you get damage over the time and unusable oil. He removed the sulfuric stuff by transfering the propan through oil before using it in his system. Perhaps that is something to consider.
Interesting to see a homebuilt unit. I work a lot with heatpumps, and depending on if you're heating or cooling you can get some crazy high efficiencies. one of my units has a rating of 14 HSPF which is insane!
You could get slightly purer propane by putting the bottle in a freezer first. The main contaminant of propane is butane. Butane has a boiling point of -1c while propane is -42c, so the colder the bottle the higher the proportion of propane. Looks good tho, good work! I'd like to do something similar one day.
Happy to see you back, love this idea and system. I’ve played with similar concepts using propane, It’s easy to get it it works surprisingly well as a refrigerant if the system is built for it. What I find great about propane is the fact that the low and high pressure are so much lower that the new refrigerants. Less pressure, less chances of leaks.
It's amazing to see some material demystifying water-to-water heat pumps, these devices are so prohibitively pricey that they make ground (or pond) pumps very unattractive. Your approach with plate heat exchangers is very unconventional and I'm loving it.
This is very cool! I am an HVAC designer but I would love to make my own system from scratch and experiment with different thermal storage methods.. it would be very fun to design something that can store waste heat to be used later on. great job! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Nice video. I saw the AC Service Tech channel listed in your video description. It is a great resource for learning about HVAC. He recently did a video on electronic expansion valves. You might want to investigate using one of those instead of using a a thermal expansion valve.
When i build my last heatpump, I used compressor running amps to meter in the charge, it worked very well. I am looking foreward to the performance data on this system. Keep up the good work !
When you order your txv, make sure to order one with the proper refrigerant in the bulb. You want it to develop gas pressure on the diaphragm that matches the characteristics of the refrigerant in the line you are sensing. Commercial "fuel" propane is a mix of several gassed, including propane. The only thing they really guarantee is the BTUs per cubic foot equals what you would get if you were burning pure propane. It would be better to get your propane from a refrigerant supplier. You should also look into mixtures of iso-propane and other gasses like iso-butane. There is a concept called glide that can improve your volumetric performance of your system. Looks like a lot if fun. It is interesting to see regulatory agencies begin to rethink refrigerant uses in light of the GHG problems. There are new regulations that allow for the use of flammable gasses, if the volume of gas is under some threshold. You might want to box in your refrigerant loop, and put a flammable gas sensor inside. A "pump down" valving system, can then sequester the gas in the receiver/drier, shut the inlet valve to the receiver/drier, trapping the refrigerant, before it reaches the lower explosive limit. Turn the compressor off and close the valve, when the pressure on the suction side reaches 0.0. All the gas will be safely in the receiver. Use diaphragm type solenoid valves. There are no seals to leak. You can get shell and tube heat exchangers with two output paths.. one glycol and one water. Personally, I'd run glycol and water in the "house" loop all the time. Then I'd run glycol and water mixture to another ground water heat exchanger. Instead of valving refrigerant, valve the glycol side of the heat exchanger. If you want heat as your product, pump the condenser side to the house. If you want cool, pump the evap side to the house.. So long as you maintain flow, the ground water side won't freeze. When you shut it down, make sure the water runs for long enough to evap all the liquid, so it doesn't freeze in the heat exchanger.
Adding to my earlier comment, If you have pets, glycol is toxic, and has a sweet taste. Pets will lap it up. Organ failure isn't a nice way to go. Get a non-toxic antifreeze.
Nice explanation of your project, funny that I have almost exactly the same project. My project was also built in the basement. I have floor heating in the barn that I keep warm with my heat pump. My barn is insulated to the best of my ability to have as little loss as possible. I have been running on my geothermal source for 4 weeks now. income temperature 8 degrees and outgoing my source IN 6.5 degrees. success continues
Nice project! Would've recommended you have the refrigeration cycle on display when explaining the different states of the propane as you were explaining how it works. Can't wait to see more of this project.
Thanks! Yes, I tried to do that with the animation in the photo I made, but I agree that what you propose would have worked better. Thanks for the tip!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your system is exactly what I want to build except Ideally I want to use co2 instead of propane, not sure if I can deal with the much higher pressures though. If you have any thoughts on that I would love to hear them. Cheers, Kurt
Measuring the superheat with just temperatures can be problematic. If there is a notable pressure drop in the evaporator it will be off quite a bit. The usual way will be measuring the suction pressure and temperature and calculate it with a saturation table. You really want the superheat as small as possible for best performance, TXVs usually will go for 5K as default. The plate heat exchangers look too small for 4kW. My Rule of thumb is 0,15m²/kW.
@@velianlodestone1249 Well it all depends on the temperature difference. With enough difference you can push 100kW through one small heat exchanger. One side at +200°C the other at -200 and off you go. But this won't be a efficient heat pump then.
Nice work! Do you have an idea what the cop would be at different outside temperatures and on the inside, say, 35 degrees Celsius water out of the condensor?
If I could understand any of that I was say "that is brilliant, if this works then you should setup a company to reproduce this system for other people, likely there is big money to be made here"
Are you Dutch? Saw some "gamma" materials in your " polished satelite disc solar beam machine". Interesting thing you do with bundled sun rays...extra heat centered in a small area...🙂👍 Maybe a thing to not underestimate is the amount of generated heat could be (sometimes) become as high that it might cause things to ignite/put on fire when it reaches wood or dry grass etc. So let us all be cautious about that.. But like u said,interesting thing you did. Shall add it in my list to try to build sun power heating system for indoors because of the ridiculous gas prices etc.. Did allready pay 917 euro a month for almost a half year...
Hi! Thank you for the awesome video! The thing I have been floating a very similar idea for my summer home which has rather poor insulating properties. Since it's a summer home, temperatures inside the house in the winter need not to be very high: ~5-10C to keep the pipes from freezing. Buying a full system would be prohibitively expensive so I was thinking of making my own system. Do you have any resources you could recommend me (besides the website mentioned in the video)? I would love to hear how the system has worked for you in real life and what COP have you been able to achieve in actual use.

Hvac guy but if you plan on doing a house build a scroll compressor is more forgiving about liquid slugs....more then likely your tin can (hermetical sealed reciprocating compressor) is not a good match. make sure the oil matches the ref and that the o ring seals match the oil. also propane is a excellent low temp and should move a lower density volume of gas so you want a compressor to match it. it is better to pull a low vacuum to ensure you don't have nitrogen trapped as you will have high head and a flooded condenser that will cause the moisture to overheat and create acid from your oil

If you can switch to heating with your remote, that means you can heat in winter. But you should read about it in your AC manual-some pumps become inefficient in low temperatures, they may not have defrost capabilities (when it is below 0 Celsius, outside coils cover with ice from water vapour in the air).
I'd like to know why you decided to use 4x plate heat exchangers instead of a 'switchover' valve that are used in reverse cycle AC's (don't know the correct name of the valve but it's a simple device)
@@TheDIYScienceGuy yes this is clear however with a reversing valve (tnx Velian) you would only need 2 heat exchangers and a bunch less valves and manual switching effort to ...reverse... the cycle. Whilst maintaining the complete separation of media.
@@TheDIYScienceGuy the principle is that there are no more hot and cold sides, both are both, since you can reverse the flow of the refrigerant. So you just have a ground water side and an anti freeze side. Or do you want to transfer energy from ground water to ground water, or from antifreeze to antifreeze? Because yes then you need 4.
