Hi, this is all at the stage of considering theoretical possibilities but I'd really appreciate comments and guidance on the workabilities of the ideas proposed:
(multistage diagram then explanation):
(if that didn't work try this: Imgur).
One positive with the ecological movement for many of you guys is that it may bring in a lot more work into plumbing trades. Many ecological groups are saying one of the most effective ways of keeping within renewable provision (via, heatpumps and hydrogen and biogas boilers) is to store heat in between times when provision is high and within times when the wind stops blowing.
Many have also recognised that water is a great resource for holding heat.
The diagrams represent my best attempt so far to show how this might happen. The solar cylinder is used because it has two coils.
Are there products on the market that have three coils?
If there are two tanks, one for summer and the other added for winter, how could the relationship between the tanks work? At what beneficial heights on solar cylinders are there outlets and how could these outlets best fit in with a parallel cylinder and radiators etc? Would additional pumps be required?
You'll be well aware of the heat capacity of water and I doubt you've got great affection for ice. The heat pump idea tries to tap into the latent heat of water (which gives off an energy equivalent to the energy in water that's 79.5° above ambient heat.
Renwable energy providers may begin giving cheaper rates when their production levels are high so it would be great to find systems that can fit.
Cheers.
