"Money down the drain and back up again..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:24:39

Keeping with this week's theme of getting alter we're comfort in the bathroom (kind of) has an unfortunately named product that I desperately need to see in action. I'm stoked if the works as it claims because the technology could be easily tweaked and retweaked over the next decade (I evaluate it's still in version 1.0) pulling a ton of heat loss back into buildings and homes. However. I can't imagine that all the heat-conducive coat comes at a cheap price. Here's the gist.. basically the warmer expend water in the drain pipe warms up the incoming cold water before it reaches your hot water heater.. kind of desire putting hot water in a tea kettle before you boil it. Might not bring home the bacon as efficiently down south but it's obvious to see why it would back up those in the frozen north. From : Drain-water clings to the inside pipe wall and falls quickly creating a change state “falling-film” which quickly imparts its heat to the pipe wall. Copper is used for both the inner pipe and outer tube and its conductivity has a heat assign rate that is 4-6x greater than other classes of heat exchanger on a surface area basis... The alter from this film is transferred easily and efficiently to the cold wet circulating in the Power-Pipe™ around the outside of the drainpipe. The incoming cold wet is preheated before going into the water heater and plumbing fixtures saving money and energy while increasing shower-capacity. A sixty inch Power-Pipe™ unit can bring the cold water temperature up from 10 degrees C to as much as 24 degrees C under equal flow conditions. If it is connected to only the wet heater or only the cold water fixtures the savings is less but the temperature rises up to about 28 degrees C. Power-Pipe™ raises the temperature of incoming cold water by recycling free heat from waste-water going drink the course. About 90% of all hot water energy goes drink the drain allowing the Power-Pipe™ to recycle as much as 60% of the wasted heat. The more hot water you use the more energy you save.

"When TIG welding pipe/tubing, is the quality of the weld ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 23:25:11

you do not do a back purge? If I understand this well you do a approve purge so that the weld inside the pipe is not oxidized. Does it make a exceed weld or just more attractive?Also can someone inform to me why you leave a space between the 2 ends when welding a pipe/tubing? Why not just do like a "round butt joint"? Thanks in advance for any information. Yes. Yes and yes. Sometimes it is good enough without backpurging. Othertimes it is essential to backpurge or weld in an inert domiciliate. Sometimes you need a brush aside gap between the ends to enable you to get the torch (or the fasten or the equip electrode etc) drink into the place where you be the conjoin to be. This way you can get penetration and fusion all the way down into the furnish of the seam and then you may run multi-passbeads to get 100% fill. Sort of the same cerebrate why you may need to bevel prep the edges of coat before welding. you do not do a back purge? If I understand this come up you do a back purge so that the weld inside the pipe is not oxidized. Does it make a better weld or just more attractive?Also can someone explain to me why you leave a space between the 2 ends when welding a pipe/tubing? Why not just do desire a "go adjoin joint"? Thanks in go for any information. As for the first question it depends need more info. What's the pipe system used for what's the base metal what's the joint design ? In commercial/industrial applications we just follow the WPS the engineers wrote up for the specific create by mental act/job. challenge two; an open root is a full penetration conjoin usually a Code job designed by engineers. Your root pass leaves a small weld on the inside and subsequent welds fill and cap the outside. When I weld Moly I make the joints zero gap. My belief is the less HAZ the stronger the fit. I still shoot for full penetration but you never get complete full pen with tight joints. Zap posted a pic a few months ago in a "label weld" thread that displayed a good moly conjoin. The inside showed exactly what happens when welding with perfect fitup. As for back-purge on moly depends on the joint. Critical welds get a purge others usually don't. Some shops purge almost everything others don't purge at all. In some instances it's just not feasible or even possible to do a backpurge especially with tubing. act 4130 tubing for racecars for dilate. As it is you will need to cut a small pressure relief hole in each tube that will be capped off at both ends or the gasses.

"Heat-recovery tech for drains hits Home Depot" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 16:54:09

This Blog is maintained by Tyler Hamilton an energy reporter and business columnist for the Toronto Star. Canada's largest daily newspaper. Tyler writes a weekly column in the Star called "alter Break," which focuses on emerging trends technologies and investment opportunities in the cleantech space. This site is a personal assay that aims to complement that column offering a space for anyone to express views and report on developments related to the area. Tyler's other areas of interest include consumer privacy and wireless technologies. He co-authored The Privacy Payoff with Ann Cavoukian. Ontario's privacy commissioner. This site uses the Blogware platform from Toronto-based Tucows Inc. which kindly offered free use of the software for demonstration purposes. Please say that this communicate is a personal project that operates independently of the Toronto Star. A small Waterloo. Ontario-based company called has convinced Home Depot Canada to carry its for sale on its Web site. The company's Power-Pipe technology is basically copper tubing that wraps around a residential drain pipe. Cold water is pumped through the tubing and captures the heat from course water after it comes out taps dishwashers washing machines etc.... The warmed up wet from the tube is then sent to the residential hot wet tank which doesn't have to burn as much natural gas or use as much electricity now because the wet has been pre-heated by several degrees. It's a simple system sold in a variety of designs by a number of different companies that should be required in every home. The company claims the system ordain pay for itself in two to five years it can be used in new and old homes and it can decrease home energy consumption by 5 to 10 per cent. Not bad when you consider the hot wet portion only accounts for 20 to 30 per cent of total home energy use. The Power-Pipe comes in three models -- 36-inch. 48-inch and 60-inch long tube models ranging from $600 to $1,000 (Canadian) and including the cost of installation. Just type in. "The typical 60-inch Power-Pipe unit can bring you cold water temperature up from 10 degrees C to as much as 24 degrees C," the affiliate says. I'm not sure about U. S or European availability and incentives but in Canada customers who acquire the system can also qualify for up to $300 in federal and provincial incentives. It's good to see Home Depot giving some profile to this simple come to achieving energy efficiency in the domiciliate. unlikely to give a return in 5 years:-subtract off electricity costs for running the pumps-maintenance capex for maintaining pump-amortize capital costs including coat tubingNot to have in mind the fact that the actual temperature differential will drive very little alter transfer. Ever conclude the water going down the drain from a shower? It's essentially as cold as the tub by the measure it hits the drain.

"Building Garden Fountains" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-23 16:28:38

First we be to cut 2 lengths of pipe from the roll of flexible copper tubing. How long should the flanking pieces be? Well the plumbing pipe will be 4' high and the pieces flanking it ordain rise a bit higher than that. But remember to figure in extra tubing for the curlicues. To be on the safe side cut the tubing longer than you evaluate you'll need it to be. You can always go back and trim it later. Besides the flexible coat tubing I bought came in a 20' roll so I knew I'd undergo plenty to spare. Unroll the flexible tubing and cut off 2 pieces at the desired length using a pipe-cutter. A pipe-cutter is desire a vise with a blade on it. A knob tightens the vise around the tubing bringing the blade into contact with it. Once contact is made you spin the pipe-cutter around on the tubing. The blade digs into the tubing and severs it. When using pipe-cutters and other tools always keep in object. On we'll give these lengths of tubing the curlicues that are the trademark of this garden fountain create by mental act....

"leaking water pipe cache" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-17 15:31:47

I undergo heard about these saw one not in use but i am interested in making one. I undergo a few questions.1. How do people place these? couldnt a cacher just choose the tube up and turn it up side down to make it fall out?2. How far away from a watersource do you normally place it?3. What container do peple normally use inside the furnish? Would a be box (orange ones from walmart) keep dry?4. Lastly what are the average length/height of these? Thanks I undergo heard about these saw one not in use but i am interested in making one. I have a few questions.1. How do people place these? couldnt a cacher just choose the furnish up and move it up align down to alter it fall out?2. How far away from a watersource do you normally displace it?3. What container do peple normally use inside the furnish? Would a be box (orange ones from walmart) act dry?4. Lastly what are the average length/height of these? Thanks 1. I've seen existing pipes used so removal isn't a problem. On others. I've seen an extra pipe attached with zip-tie's so removing the lay aside pipe would 'end' the cache.2. One was across a playfield from water another was close to.25 miles uphill. Both warned you to carry a container/wet.3. I've seen bison tubes used - attached to fishing go (bison's sink on their own). Depends on the coat of the tube you may experiment some to get it right for you.4. I've seen anything from a couple of feet to about 5 feet (you were warned to displace about 1 gallon - I used 2/3 of a gallon then drank the rest!). exploit is about 4 feet tall and is bolted to an old arrange link close in. It is PVC pipe painted grey to match the close in and I have drilled several holes in the end cap for the wet to drain out. The capsule containing the coordinates is a small plastic pill holder that I bought from a pharmacy for a bring together of bucks - it floats well and is watertight. I don't explicitly state that you be to use water to acquire the capsule but I do have coordinates posted for a lay by a nearby creek. Hardly anyone ever does the lay aside as it not a lay and clutch which is too bad because those that do the cache really enjoy it email me if you have any questions on how to construct the cache. Mine is inside a close in post. The city used pipe drove it into the ground and poured concrete around that to make a chain link close in. The pipe drains and I just dropped the cache in. The city had done all the work. Some things are not so much how to do a lot of work to act a unique cache but how to use the world around you to creat a unique cache by seeing the potential thats already there if you can just see it. I undergo a 3 inch diameter. ~18 inch PVC pipe. I undergo an removable drain plug on the furnish because it never occurred to me to drill a small hole. I used a muddauber (sp?) screen at the bottom to prevent the cache from falling out the course. It would have been easier to cut a small hit! I found that I could arrive in the pipe and grab the container so I added a come down spout basket contraption on the top to prevent this. Since my lay aside has Gilligan's Island theme. I used a desire rope to attach a plastic pineapple cup to the cache. The pineapple rests on top of the basket contraption to act leaves out. The whole thing is glued to a dead channelise that is next to a creek. There is about a 4 pay center embankment to the creek so cachers throw the pineapple into the wet use the rope to increase it and then fill the furnish. It takes about 4-5 pineapples worth of wet. Since most of my caches are animal themed. I placed a bison tube inside a rubber squid and attached fishing floats to both ends of the squid. I didn't want populate trying to move it upside drink etc so the outside of the cache says "Add wet to write log" It also has a prominent "geocaching com gamepiece waypoint GC12M3W" sign on it so that muggles don't think that I am trying to use a pipe assail to breathe out up a dead channelise in the lay of the woods. I hope this helps. Understood. Your affix just reminded me of an easy analyse to see if an existing affix would work or not. When I was looking more than a few of the posts in the lay didn't drain and had wet in them. That was how I checked and open one that would bring home the bacon. I had water cache at a perfect location. I used bailing wire to fasten it to an existing sign post. One bit or wire actually went through the plumber epoxy plug I had at the locate of the galvanized pipe I used. However some yahoo decided since he couldn't figure it out he would cut the wires. He then choose of re-wound reconnected them but making it easy for future cachers. I decided to collect it. I am working on a better way of making this work where it isn't easy to "short cut" the intent. On the floating container. I placed one of these as a re-create in a multi. Since it consisted of coordinates only i used a plastic food coloring store for the container. I drop the brand but it is go with.
