General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Re: Clothes dryer hookup
« on: March 28, 2019, 03:36:37 PM »
Will bring this back up, Found out with this hookup, works best if I run the dryer as normal. The outside furnace will bring air temp up to about 165 and then electric will come on some to run at max temp and dry quick on less than half the normal electric use.

Thanks.  I'd go for something similar.

Has anyone interfaced a heat exchanger from a hydronic system into a clothes dryer?

I'm still chugging away with my Arduino and MYSQL solution for  a web interface.  It will be pretty good sized, 40-50 sensor points and similar amount of control points on the back end.  I have begun coding the front end web app that reads the database information and has visual animations.  Do the control by web devices have APIs or ability to harvest data without the app?

Cat5e would be fine.  I would put in a few runs in case of non-ethernet needs.

Central Boiler / Re: Taco 007e
« on: December 11, 2018, 11:53:32 AM »
 I have a 007e on my M250 at present.  It will soon be replaced for a high flow high head unit when I get my heating system reworked.  I have had no problems with it and would recommend it for sure.  I hope to go with a large Taco for my next pump.

Central Boiler / Re: FALL OPENER CLEAN OUT, READY TO START UP

Neal - What are you using for fuel?  It looks like corn to me.  How do you like your pellet boiler and what's the maintenance on it; weekly, monthly, yearly, etc...?  Roger
100% shelled corn.  Combined from last fall and the fall before.  Down around 11% moisture.

Love it.  I wish I could swap out the Firestar gen 1 for a gen 2, but alas it isn't able.  I want network connectivity!

The maintenance is not too bad, much more in the shoulder season as the ash and soot builds up more.  It could go 5 days to one week before a full (5 minute?) Cleaning is necessary. 

I had a little bit of organic buildup over the summer so I drained the system and went to 100% water and a full gallon of treatment. Other than that I vacuum the hopper out in the spring use the air compressor to blow out the firebox and then slather it with waste oil for the summer.  Pretty simple really.  I did swap out the butane setup for a 20# propane tank. 

This will be the third winter on it.

I did a semi drain of my glycol this fall.  100% water.  Biological and scum down to near 0%.   :thumbup:

Just curious to see if any of you guys tried using one of these. I have used them on poultry incubators and they do a fine job of precise temp control. Pretty durable for me. Never had one fail.
I have a couple even cheaper units I use for my Arduino testing, so far they have been just fine.  $30 for a temp controller and thermocouple is a good deal.   :thumbup:
