[Stoves] pot skirt efficiency estimates, scale-up

[Joshua Guinto]

Dear All

With all respects, i wish to join in the discussion with my own concern
similar to that of Josh Kearns. 

Im at present building an improved wine distillery in favor of the small
nipa wine producers in my hometown. The constructin is now in full scale and
so im beginning to really get worried about the integrity of my design.

I do not have enough engineering background on this and do not have much
equipments. So i would really appreciate it if you could also guide me
through with this project. 

I attached some photos and drawings of the project. 

It was organized by a Japanese  JICA volunteer and will help more than 200
wine producers not to mention their health and the immediate environment. 

Best regards

JEd Guinto

Josh,

>From experience, having the heat go through a single pipe/chimney in the
center of the water tank is much better than having  the heat go around the
outside of the steel drum.    And it is much less expansive.

I'm thinking about building a 5-gal TLUD fired 55-gal water heater for
outdoor showers. I'm wondering if anyone has a ballpark estimate for heat
transfer efficiency w/ and w/o using a pot skirt attachment. The hot water
tank will be a 55-gal steel drum, so I think the setup is pretty analogous
to a cookstove setup, just bigger.  

 

20%? 

 

Any thoughts are helpful, rough estimates OK.....thanks!

 

 

FYI, the char from the water heating setup will be used in arbor-loo style
modular composting toilets. This infrastructure is being installed during a
rambo design-and-build sesh for my wedding on a farm in rural Appalachia
(USA), but will be used continually by future events at the site. Cool,
huh?!?!
