13 Dec 09 Make a Solar Water Heater at Home

With the cold and stormy weather, you would certainly not want, in the water without heating it to fall. Would heat up but without question you start turning your meter faster and jack your energy bill. A very practical option is to use solar heat to start your water heater. One that you can build and set-up at home, as most solar systems are commercially available relatively expensive and difficult to repair, if necessary.

To make a simple and cost effective mannerWarmer water can easily be performed in three steps:

First, build a wooden "hot box" covered with glass, it will collect the sun's heat.

Second, creation of a manifold of copper water lines or more scattered in this collector's box, so that the heat of the sun heat the water collected.

Third, hook up the various outlets to a reservoir, through the heat collector, so that the water thermosiphon from the collector to the tank, as for the "principle of flow.This theory is based on the fact that warm water rises and drops of cold water. With this principle applied liquid heated in the closed-loop system is moving in the direction of increased reservoir and cooler water flows into the box below to inspire more solar heat collector. Simple huh?

Material costs are different, and with each variation of renewable energy at home, there are other economic solutions. Glass costs a relatively large sum of money so that the glass can be replaced with old aluminumAwning type window. If you are not some scrap from your garden or at home, have second-hand wheels are always found when you hard enough looking.
