Everyone knows that free cheese happens only in a mousetrap. Unfortunately, this applies to free heating at home. At a minimum, you will have to spend money on supplies and spare parts for the construction of the heating system. But the idea of heating a house with free energy overcomes many owners of suburban cottages.
The most affordable energy source for heating
The sun is an inexhaustible and accessible source of energy for all. In mid-latitudes, you can use it from mid-spring to mid-autumn as free heating for your home. While the sun is at its zenith, the power of a solar oven, assembled independently, reaches 1.5 kilowatts. In the daytime, the stove will warm water for bathing and household needs, and at night, using the energy from the battery, you can heat a small room.
The main components of the free heating system of a private house:
- Expansion tank;
- Water storage;
- Collector.
Between the nodes, tubes are laid, a closed loop is made. The free heating system of a private house operates using the principle of thermal convection. Dark tubes of the heat exchanger capture the energy of the sun's rays, which the water absorbs. The volume of warm water increases, it flows into the water reservoir, and instead of it, unheated water enters the tubes. Over time, the water heats up more and more. About free home heating videos can be found on the net.
Solar collector heating
This assembly site for free heating a private house with your own hands is the most difficult to assemble.
The collector is a housing made of wood and a heat exchanger (tube). Need plywood 6 millimeters, board 40 millimeters, fiberglass, galvanized sheet 1 millimeter, pipes for water supply systems.
The size of the sheet, which concentrates heat 2.2 m by 70 cm. From two bent pipes (1 inch diameter) you need to assemble a frame 2.1 meters by 60 cm. Cut half-inch pipes into 12 pieces so that they fit snugly into the frame from the pipe. In the frame, make holes with a diameter of 14 mm in the amount of 13 pieces. The distance between the holes is 15 cm. Weld everything together - this is the heat exchanger. Using a thin wire, a sheet of metal is attached to it, everything is covered with black paint in several layers. There are no special difficulties in building free-of-charge heating of the house with your own hands.
Manifold housing
Now heating your home with free energy is becoming a reality. A body with a plywood bottom is knocked together from the boards. Lay an insulation layer on the bottom, a heat exchanger is placed on top and transparent glass is installed on top. The case must be airtight, rain and melt water penetrating inside, worsen the operation of the device. On top you need to install a strong hinged lid that will not allow degrees or falling branches to break the glass. Mirrors mounted on the lid will accelerate water heating and increase efficiency. Materials about free home heating videos are posted in large quantities on various sites.
