This design is intended to go behind the glass windbreak on my terrace. For the moment it has become sort-of superseded by other works (crawlspace and facade collector). The idea is to use the big floor area (4 x 1 meters) to collect a LOT of hot air and borow some of that heat for warming water.

Hermit, Can't really read it, May need to be bigger or use different font? (I tried reading glasses and magnifying) Dan

Hi, Darry, Thanks for the input ! At the moment, this design is not going anywhere, as it got kind-of superseded by my roof-pumping project, which is looking far more cost-effective. (if you are interested, latest details are here: http://simplysolar.supporttopics.com/post/Garage_Hermits-Projects-6221962?&trail=30 Guess it is winter down under ?

Yep pretty cold for us or at least by our standards: "freezing" around here means it's less than 10 C but we very rarely get much below 0 C I'm building the next air collector and want to incorporate some water heating into it - even if it's just to preheat the water a little going into our hot water tank. But wondering whether to do it on this next one or just keep it simple for now! __________________ Bowral Australia http://www.mckayphotography.com.au
