  • Modeling and Simulation of a Thermosiphon Solar Water Heater in Makurdi Using Transient System Simulation
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 12, December-2019 451 ISSN 2229-5518 Modeling and Simulation of a Thermosiphon Solar Water Heater in Makurdi using Transient System Simulation Prof. Joshua Ibrahim, Dr. Aoandona Kwaghger, Engr. Shehu Mohammed Sani ABSTRACT The modeling and simulation of a thermosyphon solar water heater at Makurdi (7.74oN) Nigeria was conducted for a period of three months (November, 2013- January, 2014). The research was aimed at simulating the performance of a solar water heater by using various parameters for greater efficiency. The solar water heater was developed and its performance was simulated at University of Agriculture Makurdi. The solar radiation on a horizontal surface was measured using a solarimeter. The water mass flow rates were measured using a Flow meter. The relative humidity data were measured using the Hygrometer. The inlet, outlet and ambient temperatures were measured using a Digital thermometer. For the simulation of the entire system the following measured parameters were used, as global solar radiation on collector plate, collector ambient temperature, heat exchanger and storage tank ambient temperature, flow rate of the collector and storage loop, the cold tap water temperature and the hot water usage. For the validation of the model and for the identification of parameters as heat loss coefficients in situ measurements were performed. Based on the developed models parameter sensitivity analysis and transient influences can be examining for the element and the entire system as well. The results obtained were simulated using Transient simulation software16 (TRNSYS). The results obtained showed that the daily average solar radiation for the period varied from 405 푊/푚2 to1008 푊/푚2.

(April 2009) William Hall Saour Department of Civil Engineering Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Emily Zechman Department of Civil Engineering Increasing population and increasing urbanization threatens both the health and availability of water resources. The volume and timing of water that is readily available may not be sufficient to supply the demand for potable water in urban areas. Rainwater harvesting is a water conservation strategy that may help alleviate water scarcity and protect the environment. The benefits of collecting rainwater and utilizing it as irrigation water are both tangible and non-tangible. Through collecting and reusing rainwater, grey water may be utilized as a practical resource. Although grey water is not safe to drink, it is safe for other uses such as toilet water, cleaning water, and irrigation.

    DRINKING WATER QUALITY IN THE HOME Responses to Frequently Asked Questions About Lead and Copper in Water 1. What steps can I take to maintain drinking water quality in my home? Residents can take steps to protect water quality in their home. Actions that help to preserve water qual- ity include: • Use cold water for drinking and preparing food. • Flush your tap before using it for drinking or cooking any time the water in a faucet has gone unused for more than 6 hours. Flushing the tap means running the cold water for 30 seconds to 2 minutes until it gets noticeably colder. • Clean faucet aerators and strainers monthly. Replace aerators in poor condition. • Clean and disinfect sinks and faucets regularly.

  • Prevent Engine Heater Hassles in Power Generators Reduce Low-Coolant Alarms, Low-Temperature Alarms and Service Calls
    WHITE PAPER Automotive Off Road Heavy Power Duty Gen Prevent Engine Heater Hassles in Power Generators Reduce Low-Coolant Alarms, Low-Temperature Alarms and Service Calls A power generator’s engine heater is a critical component in providing fast, clean engine starts. Choosing and correctly installing a properly sized, high-quality heater protects the genset investment and ensures performance. Many diesel-power generator dealers, packagers, equipment rental companies and maintenance professionals are familiar with the frustration and cost of excessive low- coolant and low-temperature alarms resulting in service calls. Coolant evaporation can be caused by a thermosiphon circulation (TC) heater or incorrect installation of the heater. Dealers and packagers with service contracts are paying the price with replacement heaters and added service calls. Engine heater service issues are especially problematic for level-one care facilities, such as nursing homes and hospitals, where backup gensets must meet the NFPA 110, Type 10 regulation and start in less than 10 seconds. In Canada, CSA 282 requires engines to maintain a temperature between 100º and 120ºF (38º and 49ºC) to ensure quick startup. Mandatory for power generators, starting engines at these temperatures minimize wear and increase operating life. 1 WHITE PAPER Limited Engine Heater Choices To be cost-competitive, or due to lack of application information, gensets are often shipped with a low-cost engine heater. These heaters may not be suitable for all applications or meet the customer requirements. The dealer may need to upgrade the heater before the power generator is installed or in the field. To select the right engine pre-heater, it is important to be aware of new, more reliable products available today.

This study analysed the life cycle analysis energy requirements and carbon dioxide emissions associated with plastic, concrete, steel and wood water storage tanks. The energy inputs and emissions for each of the materials were normalised to the 20 years. Results indicate that wood was the best of the four materials, having both the lowest embodied energy and carbon dioxide emissions. Plastic had the highest embodied energy while concrete tanks had the greatest embodied CO2. Further research is required to complete a full life cycle assessment of the different materials. 2 Environmental Impacts of Different Materials for Water Tanks Introduction There are increasing concerns over provision of water to communities, with an estimated two-thirds of countries facing increasing water shortages by 2050 (GEO4, 2007). While much of New Zealand current has sufficient water, changes in rainfall patterns due to climate change, an increasing consumption of water and a reliance on water for energy provision mean that water conservation will become increasingly important.

  • Wood Burning Cook Stove Energy Saving Hot Water Kit CAUTION
    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS For The "North" Wood Burning Cook Stove energy saving Hot Water Kit CAUTION: These installation instructions are meant to be used as a guide for woodstove owner and plumber to follow. Failure to follow these instructions properly may result in a faulty installation. which could result in damage to system and/or self. Study the instructions thoroughly before beginning any work. WARRNING: Water Coil should be installed over horizontal firebricks and under cooktop (horizontally as shown on photo 1 and 2 on pg.6) NOT inside the firebox. USE PROFESSIONAL-LICENSE PLUMBER. If your unit has water coil installed by manufacturer, skip 1-7 and choose method I, II or III, one that will best suit your particular needs. 1. Wash the heat exchanger coil out with hot soapy water and rinse. This will insure that no residues will be left inside the coil from the manufacturing process. 2. Measure the distance from center to center of the holes on the ends of the heat exchanger coil. This measurement may be 6", 8", or 9“, depending on your coil kit model no. 3. Locate a space within the stove where the coil will not interfere with any of the internal parts. With a centerpunch and hammer, mark two points (measurement in step one) on the outside of the stove that will correspond with the free space inside. If your stove is cast iron, DO NOT attempt to centerpunch it, as it will crack. Mark the stove with a felt tipped pen if it is cast iron. 4. With the drill provided in the holesaw, dril a 1/4" hole at each of the marks.
