To 740GLE and A.Justice--- Thanks for your ideas But I've already been tagged for an inappropriate posting (talking about things other than solar) so we should keep to the subject of using solar/battery power to get the best venturi draft (to extract exhaust fumes from a wood stove) using the...
Yaa, Hard to guess just what might occur an plan for them all--very difficult to be a prepper in a condo. So at best all I can do is do my best thinking and such. I do have plenty of supplies (food and such) to nearly get me through the winter. I can even cook using marine alcohol fuel. But...
Aaaah, I did not think to measure amperage (that's a dumb on my part... Duhhhh!) what I did was to estimate the setting on the rheostat to max CFM and half and other knob angles on the rheostat as divisions of less than max CFM. It is correct isn't it, that if a fan pulls 6 amps at 270 CFM...
Hi, RedNeckTek...!
I saw this vid yesterday (surfing the YT) and not really...this guy is more interested in getting the most heat from his wood stove (his stove is much bigger and different than mine---his a typical mine stainless steel...and very small). I don't see where he is venting his...
Bilge fans: The fourth picture is best for orientation of the hot stove pipe (using one fan). The stove would be to the right, the small stainless steel pipe is horizontal, the blower fan is at the bottom blowing air UP and out the large "Y" pipe end at the left, the air going around the small...
Testing was not done in the summer--but you're right. But I also do not need much negative (venturi) pressure across the SS pipe end. And the hot pipe is insulated and will be less than about 9 feet long and most of the inside...seeing as how I'm using cold air for the driving effect of venturi...
A. Justice. Thanks for your input. But the inspection would go sour. Do you live in a condo? The kit solar is built by a company that most likely has credibility--I don't and DIY with ANYTHING in a condo is usually not accepted. No one is going to SEE the stove. It is only 48 pounds and mobile...
The MOTIVE would be the cold air from the DC voltage fan (size to be determined by experimenting) The SUCTION would be the wood stove fumes/gases be negatively pulled by 'vacuumed' out (sort-ta) and the DISCHARGE is to the atmosphere
The FAN is mounted at the MOTIVE end and blow through to the DICHARGE end and across the SUCTION Tee lifting the exhaust gases from the SUCTION end and blowing them out the DISCHARGE so the fan NEVER gets hot nor the bearing cooked
I believe I have a unique problem to solve. I live in an all-electric condo complex on a second floor that has a small balcony. Should I/(WE) lose electricity in the depths of a cold January/February then about 100 people will have to leave their condos or freeze — NOT ME! (there are three...
In a manner if examples (but on a much smaller scale: it is like a carburetor venturi, or a pitot tube for an airplane. or even a perfume sprayer...It is just MUCH larger.
I also do not believe it needs to be so perfectly built. All the examples of eductors are for water movement and control especially in (large) fish tanks and also most are PVC or are very expensive in gasoline and oil production and being stainless steel HUGE things. I can not use one that is...
Check this link out: https://www.foxvalve.com/liquid-eductors/introduction/ I also seem to remember a web on you tube called "rollation" in which this guy shows how to make sheetmetal cones and reducers and making round ends to join into a square end all with sheetmetal and most of this done...
