WFP retro fit water heater.
« on: November 08, 2010, 04:41:05 pm »
I am designing a water heater for WFP systems.

My design can be retro fitted to any system and costs nothing to run.

How much would you pay for it?

I am only on prototype 1.

I have designed it only to raise the temp of a 750L tank by 10 or so degrees just now (in preparation for winter) so it is by no means a "hot water system".

If there is enough interest I am sure that the design can be modified to increase the temperature further.

It really is free to run.

Do any of you have a retro fit heater for WFP?

How much did it cost?

Most importantly how much does it cost to run?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks.

How can something which generates heat cost nothing to run???? I would have thought that’s not possible, but if it is possible don’t tell the oil and gas companies or you could end up disappearing  :)

Calorifier and radiator springs to mind. Done it myself already.

Boat calorifier tank as it is far superior quality calorifier tank with twin inlet and outlet barb cionnections for radiator connections and an additional source of heat. Water remains at 90 degrees for up to 24 hours as there are far more fins making it far more efficient at retaining the sourced heat in the calorifier tank.

The design has nothing to do with the cooling system on an engine, Tried that but all you get is a cold running engine. Not what you want when its -26

Energy (heat) is never free ,it cost somewhere. If it was free you have cracked the overunity theory which many have been trying to crack for yrs  ::)

We tested the device for the first time today.
It works.
It has additional parts to be fitted for which we are awaiting delivery. Obviously the real test is going to be winter. I will consider selling it once we are sure that it can handle the harsh Aberdeen winter.

We should know how effective its going to be before January, just trying to determine whether it would be a viable commercial product. Without full market research etc I'm not sure how much it would cost.
