Home Made / building boiler... Trying to heat domestic water also!
« on: May 26, 2010, 07:16:21 PM »
Hey guys im in the process of building a owb and i wanted to have the option of domestic hot water on demand. with my boiler system i have now i have a line from the stove running through my flatplate heat exchanger all the time.
So i was thinking of wrapping the inside of the water jacket with copper pipe but not sure of how much i would need to heat the fresh water coming in from 45* to 150*... 10' 20' 50' ?? and also what size 1/2" ?

General Outdoor Furnace Discussion / Closed or Open?

what do you guys think is the best i here a lot of good about a closed system... Last longer supposily???
what is the benefit to a open system?? that is what everyone is building it seems like why would you want to add water manually once a week? or even every month??

I am building a boiler with a 36" fire box and a 48" water jacket both 48" long. How long should my copper pipe be for domestic water if i put it in the water jacket that will be at 145* 175*. I was thinking 8'x3/4" what do you guys think? do you think it will keep up?
