Homemade Solar Coil to Heat Water Stage 1

Uploaded by: foggyside
Video Description:
A homemade coil of plastic pipe laid in the sun and heated up by insolation.
First stage of a process of supplementing the on-demand gas boiler that normally heats the domestic water used in this wooden shack in the mountains of southern Spain.
Future stages will look at location, connection to storage vessel and connection to house.

I'm looking forward ... ( 2 years ago by lutestring)

I'm looking forward to seeing part II of this experiment. From what I have seen of southern Spain, there seems to be a continuing and quite unhealthy reliance on the national grid, given the huge natural resources.

Nice to hear from ... ( 2 years ago by foggyside)

Nice to hear from you again lutestring. Things are changing. Spain now has the 3rd largest wind-power manufacturer/installer in the world (Gamesa) and I believe about 10% of all Spanish power requirements are supplied by wind power (energía eólica). Solar power if catching up. They are likely to triple the the 400 MW target they have for 2010 - not sure what percentage of total usage this will be. Hydroelectric power supplies about 8% of total Spanish power used.

Thanks to GRENNPOWERSCIENCE for the idea for this project.

you could just use the thermosyphoning effect to move the water (the hot water will rise so the hot end goes nea the top of the tank and the outlet at the bottom the difference with move the water for you)

I applaud what you are trying to do and have played around with home made solar myself but these days I only fit tried and tested systems with safety controls.
The temperatures in my solar hot water system regularly go above 180deg cent and are kept from boiling by pressurising the system.
If you get a leak from a pipe (plastic pipe isn't suitable) the water will be at atmospheric pressure and will flash to steam. Anyone in contact with it will be badly disfigured.
Take great care.

Your voice brought ... ( 10 months ago by kchedville)

Your voice brought back memories of a dear friend of mine who was from South Africa, Conrad Rawson, who passed away some years ago. He came to the US via South America, hitch hiking his way up and he joined the Navy where we became good friends....I think his Father still lives in South Africa. Thanks.
