Sensors

One of the frustrations in planning our heat sink and solar heating system is the lack of documentation available to support the theories. Many systems have been designed and used, with some being more successful than others, but few, that we can find, have data to support their successes or failures.

Brad has been in touch with Don Colvin of Mukilteo, WA to set up a system that will record the actual results of our system. Don has ordered 18 sensors to place in the heat sink at different locations, plus sensors to place outside the heat sink, some nearby and others further away. In this way there will be a record of the actual temperatures, recorded on a daily basis, so we can evaluate the success of our solar heating system.

More will follow on this topic...
