Practical use for heat
Hello all!
I still do not have nothing great to report on my tuning of the can. Time to play with this has been extremely non-existant lately, and Mrs. Cornfused does'nt seem to share the enthusiam as I do on these kind of things. So, as the saying goes...When Mama aint happy aint nobody happy!!!! Im hoping over Christmas break to be able to get my can in the water and get my "feet wet" so to speak, even if my can isnt in perfect tune.
I have also aquired some stainless pipe to construct a device out of...just needs cut and turned down/boared to proper size.....and of course tuned.
As a practical way to use the hot water/steam heat from the boiler...A car radiator and a box fan or table top fan. The radiator already has a safety release mechanism for over pressure(cap).
A boy down the road has an outside wood boiler, he pumps 180 degree water from that to a radiator out of a 70's model chevy truck that is slid into the filter slot of his furnace. he disabled the heating elements of the furnace so when the thermostat turns on the air handler when the house gets cool, it blows through the radiator and heats the whole house through existing duct work. For a water pump, google hydronic heating parts. you can get a nice pump for 100$, will last for years. Hope this helps get some wheels turning in people's heads, when I have more to report I will.
Cheers!!, Jason
