| == Helpful stuff ==
| |
|
| |
| === What's currently at the farm ===
| |
| * Water Heater / Storage Tank
| |
| ** We know it is a Reliance 606 series, but I neglected to find the exact model number. Will look again next time I'm there.
| |
| **[http://www.reliancewaterheaters.com/lit/om/manuals/185761-000.pdf Product manual] (for piping connection instructions, etc.)
| |
| **Related patents [http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=iwsyAAAAEBAJ&dq=4447377 Method of insulating the exterior of a water heater tank] and [http://www.google.com/patents/about?id=KL04AAAAEBAJ&dq=4527543 Water heater construction], both directly listed on the product label and helpful in understanding how it's built internally. Contains diagrams.
| |
| * Solar Collector
| |
| ** It's a "Colt, Inc. Model C-141C" solar collector. I could not find much information online but my UNVERIFIED guess is that it's actually a closed-loop system meant to be filled with glycol and not water -- but, again, that's UNVERIFIED (I only found one mention of this after a failed Google search, and I've since lost that cite).

|
| |
| === Other examples ===
| |
| * [[Solar water heater]] - Basic principles and operations
| |
| * [[Hotel_Perote_solar_pool_heating_system#Effectiveness_of_Solar_Collector_for_Perote|Hotel Perote's solar pool heating project]] - Contains the type of mathematical calculations and examples that Lonny probably wants to see
| |
| * [[Category:Parras_Solar_Hot_Water#Testing|Parras's solar water heater project]] - Contains additional data logs and graphs from their testing phase
