Solar space heating idea
"NickW" wrote in message om... "BigWallop" wrote in message ... Hi Nick, Have a good read through this: http://tinyurl.com/fvfj it will give you a better idea of what is needed. --- BigWallop Actually, my inspiration was this: http://www.humboldt1.com/~michael.we...hotairhp72.pdf I thought why pay through the nose for something which can be made on a much larger scale with existing garage roofspace and ordinary building materials. I might not achieve the same efficiency / sqm they do but I'd more than make up for it with quantity. As a bonus, the 'collector' would not be as obtrusive. (I have a grade 2 listed cottage so nothing can go on it's roof BTW) Nick Ah Ha !! Very Interesting Nick. The only thing with this is, will it work in a British winter ? This system would be great for hot air heating during the winter months, but do we get enough sunny days to make it viable ? Me thinks me needs more research into this subject. I may be back. --- BigWallop http://basecuritysystems.no-ip.com Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
