  • Some Good Ways to Make a Solar Heat CollectorDateMon Feb 17, 2014 10:21 am

    1 Now the first step to make u pipe solar collector, minimize a sheet of 4-by-8-by-1/2 inch plywood to 3 foot 3inches by 8 foot with a round saw.
    2 Minimize a 2-by-4-by-8 foot stud into two 3 foot lengths.
    3 Fasten two 2-by-4-by-8 studs flush with possibly 8-foot borders of the sheet of plywood. Fasten the two 2-by-4-by-3 studs flush with the best and bottom borders of the sheet of plywood with 1 1/2 inch drywall screws. Generate the screws via the back again of the plywood into the studs. Fasten the 3 foot studs to the 8 foot studs by toe toenailing the ends of the studs collectively utilizing screws. To toe toenail two boards collectively, a toenail or screw should be driven at a steep angle via the facets of 1 board into the board that is perpendicular to it. Toe toenailing is utilized when a toenail or screw cannot be driven directly via the back again of 1 board into an additional.
    4 Minimize 1 1-by-4-by-8 board lengthwise into identical widths.
    5 Minimize the two 1-by-2-by-8 pieces to 7 feet, 9 inches prolonged.
    6 Then, fasten the two 1-by-2-by-7, 9-inch pieces to the within of every 8 foot stud. Seat the 1-by-2-by-7 foot 9 inch pieces on the plywood. Attach utilizing 1 1/2 inch drywall screws. Screw the 1-by-2-by-7 foot, 9-inch pieces to the 2-by-4-by-8 studs.
    7 Use the silicon caulk to seal all the seams in the solar collector container. Enable 24 several hours for the silicon caulk to heal.
    8 Paint the interior of the container with the dark paint.
    9 Flip the container more than and cut two slots 4 inches broad by 3 feet prolonged the best and bottom edges 3 inches from the best and bottom borders and 1 1/2 inches in from every facet of the plywood. Use a spade tad and drill a pilot hole at every finish of the two slots. Use a jigsaw to cut the 4-inch widths then use a round saw to cut the 3-foot lengths.
    10 Minimize a sheet of 3-by-8 foot corrugated steel roofing to 3 foot by 6 feet, 10 inches. Use an abrasive steel-slicing round saw blade to cut the roofing.

  • Some Good Ways to DIY Solar Water HeaterDateWed Feb 12, 2014 11:14 am

    Panel collector
    A flat panel solar water heater is the most typical home created assortment simply because it's very simple and affordable to produce. Most flat panel gatherers are created with a wooden box frame, a steel or plywood back again, insulation, little steel pipes in opposition to the back again and include of wineglass. The dimension of your gatherer frame determines how a good deal water you can heat at as soon as, and how warm you can get it. the bigger the frame is--and the lengthier it requires the water to journey via the gatherer--the warmer your water can turn out to be. The plywood or sheet steel creates the bottom or back again of the box frame. You require painting this dark so that it can absorb a lot more of the heat from the sunshine. Place collectively normal 2-inch-by-4-inch or 2-inch-by-6-inch boards to make the facets of your box. Mount coils of steel pipes--copper conducts heat really properly--within the frame in opposition to the back again. You can coil these steel pipes in a round pattern or weave them up and affordable like a little radiator. Paint the pipes dark as properly so they'll gather the sunshine's heat a lot more successfully, then include the whole box with wineglass. Utilize insulating board to the back of the plywood or sheet steel back to aid maintain in the heat that's created. Established the whole assembly in a sunshine south-facing location, and pipe water into 1 facet of the inside coiled pipes, then out the other facet. The sunshine enters via the wineglass facing and heats up the pipes and back again, and then as water gradually journeys via the steel piping it gathers the heat that's becoming created.

    Design and style points
    Making use of steel for your box frame back and water piping will produce the most effective water heating technique simply because steel gathers and distributes heat really simply. Making use of plywood for the gatherer back again functions as well, yet, and is a favorite variation for each selling price and substance availability. Nonmetal substances are typically utilized for the water piping as well, too. You can use a garden hose for the inside coil. Many sorts of plastic material are also good to use. If your hose or plastic material piping is not dark currently, you'll get the very top outcomes from your water heater by painting them prior to assembly.

    Warning
    Home created solar water heaters can create sufficient heat to scald and burn you up. If you come across your water heater routinely creates very warm water, you may possibly want to include a regulator valve to the outlet to avoid really serious injuries.

  • How to Install Solar Geyser Vacuum Tube?DateMon Feb 10, 2014 1:59 pm

    Specify a permanent position for your water heater on your roof or another area has a good sun. Using a framework to determine the point pillar of the heater will be screwed to the bearing surface. The roof of the orientation of the surface of the strongest points, read, marks the point and screw drill pilot hole. The screw is assembly framework support surface. Insert the screw hole by vertical base guidance that you just do. Confirm all the screws are rigidly fixed, framework is stable. If you no drilling hole, the framework of drill hole base, through which you can run the upright screw.

    Framework installation is reflector surface on how to install solar geyser vacuum tube. Reflector, usually by a stainless steel or other reflective material reflects sunlight to evacuated tube, need to install on the tube. Simple reflective can patches on the manifold. It will remain in the framework. The box vacuum tubes inserted into the frame. Silicon tube silicon grease to prevent scratches, gently insert through the framework of the top and move down, until it is safe to rest on the basis of your frame. Repeat this process as much as possible of evacuated tube heater.

    Install valve at the top of the water tank heater. Hot water tank has to be placed in the heating pipe thermo siphon function, the process of heat and less dense water rises instead of cold water, let the water cycle through evacuated tube. Integrated tank framework bolts, and screw bearing surface of the tank chassis. To install a separate tank near the heater of the bearing surface, if the tank is not an integrated type. Confirm the lowest part of the evacuated tube of the tank is higher than the highest point, and the system framework, screws the strongest points of the bearing surface.

    Connect the water tank to your vacuum tubes. Run a PVC pipe or hose from your tank at the top of the tube. Run the second tube or hose from the bottom of the tank bottom valve system. Sealed with Teflon tape all connections and according to the need to fill the joint sealant. The cycle will be closed thermo siphon circulation. After reading, I’m sure you have a clear mind about how to install solar geyser vacuum tube.?
