So i am planning on building a pool heating system using a coil of black pvc pipe 100m x 20mm.
Black pipes on roof to heat water.
Although roof vents are necessary and create a balance between air exhaust and intake the water tight seals around roof vents can get damaged over time by excessive heat cold or wind.
If you use a dark colored hose the water can get even warmer because dark colors absorb more solar energy.
The added surface area of the hose collects more heat as well.
Black pipe will absorb more heat myth the surface area of the sun exposed pipe on your roof is minuscule compared to your solar collector area and the pool water is travelling at such a high velocity that the heat transfer in feed and return plumbing is negligible.
My question is what strength fountain pump must i get to get an adequate flow from the pool up a.
Installing black polyethylene pipes or poly pipes provides heat for your swimming pool with the help of solar power.
If you put in a solar water heating plant on your roof water heater you ll expect 5 to 16 annual returns.
Use coal to boil water.
Use steam to spin turbines and run generators to make electricity then transported long distances to connect to a coil at the bottom of a tank to make hot water.
The dark color of poly pipes gives them the ability to absorb heat from the sun.
Add 90 degree elbows and run the pipes to approximately 4 6 past the roof edge.
Black abs 50mm pipes filled with water are arranged in a herring bone pattern on a roof to pick up heat from the sun for a nice warm shower.
A black rubber hose is ideal and relatively inexpensive.
The features of this design are as follows.
Most garden and hardware supply stores sell such pipes so getting them should be no problem.
A solar storage tank may be a device which will be wont to capture daylight so as to heat the water in your pipes to be used for baths showers etc a thermal panel solar collector put in on the roof.
Batch process so never goes from hot to cold.
You will use 2 abs pipe now as it is less expensive and it is black to attract the sun and heat.
