Hello all,
Hope you can help me, thanks if you can,
I have a very small sheet metal wood burning stove in which I've placed a copper coil.
The coil has cold water coming in from house mains and warm/hot water going out towards my
outdoor bathtub. This takes forever due to the stove's small size and inefficiencies of my design, lack of knowledge, poor breeding
etc....
What I want to do is re-circulate the tub water (instead of heating direct from mains) without using a pump if possible. So hoping for a thermosiphon effect with this small wood stove boiler contraption.
Before I melt my hoses on either end of the coil I thought I'd pose the question here.
Would this system make a thermosiphon effect if both hoses were placed in the tub??
I can move the stove higher or lower than the tub if necc. but not too much maybe 1 meter.
[the coil and in-out hose inner diameter are both 6mm, flow rate of water is 1-3 liters per minute filling the tub from mains pressure, 1 L/min being hot 40C and 3L/min being coldish 30C. Mains water temp is 23C now.]
Thanks very much if you can help,
john
