Requirements
- Stackable is pancakes of 2'x3' - and 4" high based on pipe
- Unpressurized system with pumping
- Seams between layers are sealed with rock wool insulation - works well
- Completely modular - can be stacked as high as needed. One in and out fitting per stack.
- For pressure applications - different design must be used
Working Doc
Calculations
- 1" pipe is 3' per square foot of heat exchange area
- 10k btu/hr per square foot of heat exchange
- 10k btu per hr = 3 kW
- One stick of 3' pipe is 10k btu/hr
- 8 pipes is 80k btu - a decent start for scalability
